Why was she being so strange today? She had never been this cold to him before.
Did she find out that he was behind Brinleigh’s no-show yesterday?
These thoughts filled his mind so much that he didn’t even feel the time going by, or the hard work he was doing.
He onlysnapped out of it when Abel came out and told him to go to Lucinda’s room. He kept the broom back in place and went upstairs.
However, he didn’t enter the room directly.
He was so wet from head to toe that water dripped on the floor as he moved. He didn’t want to dirty the floor of her room.

So, he stood at the door and shook off the water on his clothes and trouser legs. He used the same towel he had used on Lucinda to dry his hair.
He looked like he had just taken a shower, with his short and tidy hair. His white shirt clung to his body, revealing his perfect abdominal muscles. His lips were a little pale, and he looked morbid and fragile. All these thanks to the rain.
Abel stood quietly aside and watched him.
He sighed and shook his head as if feeling bad for Nathaniel.
The poor man didn’t know the dire fate that awaited him behind that closed door.
Nathaniel heard Abel sigh and asked in confusion, “Abel, are you okay?
What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine,” Abel said and then hesitated before adding, “Mr. Roberts, I won’t go in with you.”
“Okay,”
Nathaniel answered and opened the door.

It felt so chilly inside.
Unconsciously, Nathaniel held his breath, looked up and then met a pair of mesmerizing cold eyes.
“Lucinda, it’s eight o’clock already. Are you hungry? Tell me, is it something at the company that got you so angry?” he asked in a very gentle tone.
Lucinda forced a smile on her face and said, “Come a little closer.”
Obediently, he walked over and stood in front of her.
Out of the blue, she grabbed his white shirt and pulled it open, exposing the bandages around his waist.
Nathaniel’s eyes went wide in surprise. He did not see that coming.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Lucinda didn’t give him the chance.
