Nate felt angry and unaccepting of the male staff's attitude and walked away from the building. He didn't even look back at all when some people started whispering about what had just happened in the lobby.He didn't want to waste more of his energy on unimportant people like them. People who always judge someone by their money and wealth. Only respect if that person had a lot of power and had a bad attitude towards poor people.Nate always treated everyone equally even though he was a rich man. He wasn't even arrogant and always treated people well. Except, if they were bad people, Nate would treat them many times worse than what they had done.That was the punishment evil people deserved."Fuck," Nate swore under his breath as he exited the building and was about to walk to his car. He wanted to get back to the office because he knew Erica wasn't there and wanted to ask Morgan for advice.Just as Nate was about to open his car door, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling his name
Nate widened his eyes as he listened to the information provided by Morgan. She told him that the bodyguard overheard a man talking about a woman named Erica with someone on the phone. He was preparing to photograph them when they got to the hotel. He was the man John Yates had paid to take photos of them secretly.Although Morgan's bodyguards weren't sure that the Erica he mentioned was Nate's wife, they had to at least suspect it because it fit with what was happening to Erica now that she was away with John Yates."Tell the bodyguard who heard the conversation to go back to the hotel and wait for me there. And don't forget to send me the hotel address. I'll go there now!" Nate ordered impatiently. He immediately slammed his cell phone into the side seat and started the car.He drove the car at full speed without caring about the traffic. He was like a madman driving a car on a crowded highway. In Nate's mind, he just wanted to get to the hotel and bring Erica back.He didn't want E
"Erica!"Nate shouted Erica's name again and ran towards her as John Yates' hand was already tapping the card to open the hotel room door.They both immediately turned to Nate with wide eyes in surprise, especially Erica who saw her husband there with a very angry expression on his face."Nate," Erica muttered as she turned to look at him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, confused. She couldn't believe Nate was there as if he knew that she had come to this hotel with John Yates, even though she hadn't told anyone."I'm the one who should be asking you that. What are you doing here?" Nate asked in a cold tone. His eyes narrowed sharply at John Yates who was standing behind Erica. Looking so calm with an annoying facial expression. He even flashed a smile when he saw Nate there. He crossed his arms to stare at Nate with a challenging look."What are you doing here, loser?" asked John Yate."Shut up! I'm not talking to you!" Nate snapped at John Yates. He glanced at him sharply, giv
"Your business?" asked Nate. His eyes snapped to John Yates. He felt very angry that John Yates continued to try to present a gentlemanly figure in Erica's eyes.He knew that John Yates had ulterior motives for Erica. He wanted to separate them because of that, he was doing everything he could to make Erica hate him, and then divorce him.Nate clenched his hands together in anger. He stared at John Yates long enough to feel Erica's hand clasp his."Nate," she called in a low voice. Nate immediately turned his gaze towards Erica. "I can explain," she said."Explain after we leave here," said Nate instead of gripping Erica's hand tightly."But, I can't just leave.""Why? Do you still want to spend time alone with him?" asked Nate irritably. He squinted his eyes at the grinning John Yates.Earlier, the expression on his face made Nate feel annoyed because he acted arrogant as if he had won."It's not like that. It's not what you think. I met John only because of work issues. Not because
"Nate, it's not like that," Erica said in a low voice. She touched Nate's hand and grasped it. Her hand was icy cold from the beach chill, while Nate's was warm. Maybe it was because he was angry.Erica never thought that she would choose John over Nate. She knew that Nate was thinking positively that she would get an invitation to a fundraising event. But the event was a few days away again and she hadn't gotten the invitation yet. And she didn't know what to do when John offered to give him the invitation.Her mistake was not telling Nate because she thought it was a trivial matter. She was just going to meet with John and then leave after she got the invitation from him, but she didn't expect that Nate would think otherwise about meeting the two of them.She was doing it for Nate and his family. She thought that if she could go to the event, she would get some colleagues to work with her. So that his company will shine even more and everyone will no longer dare to demean and insult
Nate turned his head towards the source of the voice. And he saw a woman running towards him in a hurry. Her facial expression looked so scared. She was crying, her face was wounded, and her forehead was bleeding. And there were several wounds on her hands and feet. The woman crashed straight into Nate's body, knocking him to the pavement."Damn!" Nate screeched in surprise as the woman suddenly rushed at him. He immediately walked backward and looked at the woman still kneeling in front of him with a confused expression.He wondered who she was, and what had happened to her at this time of night. Running around with fear on her face and tears breaking out as if she was being chased by someone."Are you okay?" Nate asked, looking at the woman.The woman immediately looked at Nate while crying hysterically. She immediately gripped Nate's legs very strongly and continued to cry without stopping. Her body was shaking violently and Nate could feel it."H-Help me. Please help me," she whim
Nate was surprised to see that Erica hadn't gone to bed when it was already one o'clock in the morning. And Nate didn't know that Erica was waiting for him in the living room."Why aren't you asleep yet?" asked Nate, walking up to Erica. He reached out his hand to touch Erica's hand, but she brushed it away."I asked you, why did you just come home?" Erica asked again with an annoyed expression on her face. She crossed her arms over her chest. Staring at Nate who said nothing. "Nate, I'm talking to you," she said firmly.Nate didn't know what to say to her. They had just fought. Even their relationship was still awkward. He didn't want to tell her what had happened because he was afraid Erica would misunderstand him. Moreover, he had no proof at all.Nate swept his face with the palm of his hand. He let out a long breath and looked at Erica."It's getting late. You'd better go to bed soon. I'm tired too and I want to take a shower," said Nate trying to teach Erica to go up to the seco
John Yates has just attended a meeting with all his office staff because he wants to talk about his almost bankrupt company. And they are trying to figure out how they can get through the crisis if John Yates still wants to keep his company. They tried hard to get help from several companies, but they thought twice because of the reputation of John Yates' company which was almost bankrupt. They didn't want their company to be affected.John Yates was frustrated. He didn't know what to do. Especially after what happened last night. He failed to go to the hotel with Erica because Nate suddenly came and took Erica away.He felt upset and angry, but he also had other plans so that he could make their relationship fall apart because of Nate's jealousy of Erica. He will use this to separate the two of them.When John Yates finished the meeting and returned to his office, he suddenly received a call from his uncle, Henry Yates. John Yates frowned in confusion while receiving a phone call fro
