Else, Nathan would never let him off the hook.
If Nathan grew furious, even Lucinda wouldn’t be able to save him.
After contemplating for a while, Sonny said earnestly, “Miss Simmons, it was wrong for us to keep this from you, but Boss genuinely remembers the plan you had made for him. He truly didn’t smoke.
He’s been taking his medication three times a day lately. The medicine has a bitter taste. If he takes too much, it affects his appetite and makes him nauseous. He was just trying to find a means to ease the discomfort after taking his medicine. But he chose the wrong means!”
He rushed to Nathan’s defense. This carried a deep sense of empathy.
The sudden shift in Nathan’s expression, from sternness to warmth, indicated that his anger toward Sonny had subsided. Finally, Sonny said the words Nathan had hoped to hear.
Lucinda wore a blank expression, making it difficult to discern whether she truly believed his explanation or not.

“Miss Simmons, are you… Don’t be angry with Boss, please,” Sonny added.
After all, there was an outsider present, and she had refrained from scolding Nathan for lying to her.
She turned her gaze to Nathan, offering him a gentle smile.
“It’s not a big deal. There’s no need to be upset, right, Nate?”
Nathan nodded in agreement.
Lucinda then shifted her attention to the cigarettes on the table and spoke up again.
“But from this moment on, let’s not keep these things in the house. Sonny, take all the cigarettes from the drawers and sell them cheaply.”
“Cheaply?” Sonny’s eyes widened.
Those cigarettes were all imported and quite expensive!
It was his favorite brand, and selling them at a low price felt disheartening. He wore a bitter smile.
Looking at him, Nathan said, “She’s right. Take all these cigarettes with you. I want to see them no more.”
Sonny smiled bitterly.
“Yes, sir.”
As Sonny gathered the cigarettes and placed them in a plastic bag, Lucinda stood up and reached out for Nathan’s hand.
“Let’s go upstairs.”
Though her tone was calm, his heart skipped a beat.
After all the explanations, would he still have to return to their room and face some form of punishment?
