“I see,” Lucinda said after a moment’s silence.
“All right.”
But hadn’t Tess tricked that old fox, Enoch, out of Forden?
Why was he back? And so soon, too?
As her mind swirled with these questions, her eyes instinctively drifted to Nathaniel, who was diligently wiping the floor.
For some absurd reason, he looked better this way than he usually did. His white dress shirt and black trousers highlighted his broad shoulders and toned waist, and he looked somewhat… grounded.
Attainable, to a degree.
He had changed drastically from being a cold, domineering CEO to a humble manservant. And he appeared to be taking to the change well, so much so that Lucinda started to wonder if he had done anything like this before. Was it possible that he had gone through a similar degree of humiliation in the past?
Otherwise, how could he put up with this situation?
Because he was so tall, Nathaniel had to get down on his knees with his legs crossed at the ankles behind him. He hadn’t been down there very long, but his forehead was already beaded with sweat, and Lucinda belatedly noticed that he was biting his lower lip from the exertion.
Clearly, he was tired and uncomfortable. Perhaps even hurt.
His waist…
Lucinda took a deep breath and walked up to him.
“Stop what you’re doing,” she said in an indifferent tone.
“Come with me to the company. You can resume with your task when we get back.”
She turned to leave as soon as she finished speaking, but she still managed to catch the fleeting look of relief that crossed Nathaniel’s face.

He gingerly got to his feet as he rubbed his knees and then his waist.
Lucinda said nothing more. She turned away and walked out of the house, with Nathaniel close at her heels.
In the Roberts Group.
They arrived at the CEO’s office to find that the door was slightly ajar.
“Call her and ask where the hell she is,” Enoch thundered, his tone arrogant and demanding.
“Tell her to come and meet with me right this instant! There are still plenty of us in the Roberts family who are alive and kicking. That incapable brat has no right to…”
Lucinda paused outside the door and listened to the man rant for a while. Then she turned to Nathaniel and asked, “Do you know what to do once we’re inside?”
He nodded readily.
