Feeling drained, Lucinda had no interest in engaging with Nala and kept her eyes closed, continuing to feign sleep.
With a frosty tone, Nathan responded, Shes dealing with a minor ailment and will be heading home in a few days.
Nathan casually played with his fancy wristwatch, looking nonchalant as he remarked, You know, Danilo, its quite a coincidence. Its been a short while since you arrived in Aldoria, but weve crossed paths several times already.

Was it all just random chance, or could there be a hidden reason behind it?
Danilo chuckled, Fate does seem to have a hand in this. Miss Simmons and Nala share a love for shopping, which explains our frequent encounters. As for the hospital visit, its nothing more than a regular check-up.
Danilo shifted his eyes to Lucinda and said, Ive noticed that Miss Simmons doesnt seem well. She appears quite sick, possibly from excessive stress. In that case, why not entrust the cooperation rights of the DoWeier Group to me? I could lend a hand to ease some of Miss Simmonss burdens.

Lucinda exhaled sharply and shifted the conversations direction.
However, Mr. Brewer, if youre after those rights, you ought to earn them fairly, using your abilities. Should you choose to engage in deceitful tactics, then I must warn you. I will not hesitate to play the game as well. I will return the favor tenfold.
Danilos face suddenly stiffened, his mouth twitched, and his golden goatee quivered, revealing his discontent.
The mood in the room turned charged.
Sensing an opportunity to defuse the situation, Nala interjected, Miss Simmons
As Nala began to speak, Nathan cut her off, Alright, its time for Lucinda to get some rest. The presence of so many strangers is polluting the atmosphere. How is she supposed to recover? Please leave.
With Nathans words hanging in the air, Nala and Danilo had no choice but to make their exit.
Danilo, with no plans to stay, softly called, Nala, my darling.
Nala caught his cue and headed towards the door.
While walking away, Nala turned around and flashed a warm smile, telling Lucinda, Please, take good care of yourself, Miss Simmons.
