LOGINNathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Are you questioning me, Freya?” I asked her sternly, suppressing the fury that rose in my heart.Even my mother never interrogated me like this my whole life.Who did she think she was to question me like this?“Did you go find that b*tch?” she yelled, ignoring my fury.“Watch your mouth, Freya. I always indulged you because of the history between our families and my friendship with your brother, but it doesn’t give you any right to question me or curse someone related to me.” I replied to her in an angry and cold tone.There was silence on her side for several seconds.But it didn’t lessen my anger.I hung up and dialled Theo’s number.“You seem to have a lot of admirers, Mr. Lombart.” I froze when Cynthia spoke with a light chuckle, but the mockery was evident in her nonchalant tone.“She is not my admirer, Cynth. She is Theo’s younger sister and also a sister figure to me.” I clarified to her instantly but kept my tone calm, waiting for Theo to pick up
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)She didn’t speak immediately but took a deep breath before looking at me again.“Can you stop the car at the side of the road, please?” she asked me calmly, but it only made me tighten my grip on the wheel.“Sure.” I still answered positively and slowly moved the car to the side and stopped it.For a good few moments, neither of us spoke.Nor did we look at each other.My knuckles had turned white on the wheels.I didn’t look at her as I didn’t want to see the disappointment in her eyes.The way she spoke before asking me to stop the car, my heart was now racing hard against my ribcage.Her refusal was blunt and expected.She was stronger-headed than my Cynthia, but she was also a woman, and her spot-on observation was enough for me to understand that my persuasion wouldn’t be any easy cake.Women like both Cynthias can’t be swayed by wealth, status, and power.“Let’s not make things difficult for each other, Mr. Lombart.” She spoke in a very low and shaky
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“You don’t need to buy anything for him. Cole is not like other children of his age. He is smart, and almost done with all the toys, especially puzzles, lego and all that sort of games and toys.” Cynthia replied to me with a faint and dotting smile on her lips, eyes sparking while she thought about her nephew.We entered the car at the same time, and she immediately buckled herself.“It seems that you have become cautious about car riding after that accident?” I asked her calmly, trying to find out more about her.She stiffened her grip on the strap tightened.“Yeah. Th…. That was brutal.” She whispered the response. I nodded once while driving the car.Mr. Silva told me that Cynthia is not comfortable with driving, and that’s why, I also excluded driving from her list of duties.“Tell me something more about your family, and you.” I asked her calmly, keeping the conversation going on.“You really want to know about my family?” she asked me in a surprised t
Nathan’s P.O.V.“Your nephew?” I asked Cynthia when she came back after finishing her call. She got a call two minutes ago, and she walked away after getting my permission.“Yeah. He has finished his homework and is now waiting for me to come back.” She replied with a dotting smile on her lips.I nodded in response. I could see that she loved her nephew. That dotting smile on her lips was motherly.I had seen this smile on my mother’s face numerous times.“We are done for today, right?” I asked her while standing up. Chris was out of the office to finish some other work.“Yes, Mr. Lombart. You have an early meeting with the planning department. Your next schedule for tomorrow.” She replied to me with a professional smile.“Then let’s go for dinner,” I replied to her while taking my suit jacket from the backrest edge of the single couch. I was sitting on the long couch to finish signing some documents.“Dinner?” She asked me, perplexed by what I said.“Yeah, Dinner. Dinner time is appr
Cynthia’s P.O.V. (Continued)I slowly walked inside, but my heart was racing hard. “Good morning, Mr. Lombart.” I greeted him politely, keeping my formal tone.The one that I used to greet Mr. Silva in the very beginning of my job as his assistant.“Good morning, Ms. Williams.” He greeted me formally too, busy with something on his laptop.I gave a curt nod to Chris when he glanced at me. He was standing beside Nathan’s chair on the other side of the table. I stopped right in front of Chris, on the other side of the table.My hands were clasped behind my back, and I kept my neck straight. His gaze was calm and composed, just like a CEO's should be.For me, it was a big relief. From the very beginning of our meeting, I always had this clear in my mind that we would have a professional relationship, and his attitude right now was just perfect.“I guess Chris has already told you that you will be responsible for all the official work with Chris.” He asked me in a casual manner.“Yes, Mr.
Cynthia’s P.O.V.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down while looking at the enormous building of Lombart & Lombart.I was here two weeks ago for business and now I am here today to join the company as the CEO’s executive assistant.I couldn’t deny that I wasn’t this nervous when I joined Mr. Silva.I didn’t want to think about the reason because I knew that it was Nathan Lombart who had caused my nervousness.“Six months, Cynthia. Within six months, you will be able to know if you want to stay here or go back. You promised him six months, and that’s it. Strictly professional, nothing personal.” I muttered to myself, but it didn’t help me this time.“Ms. Williams!” I flinched and looked at the person exclaiming my name with a startled expression.“What are you doing here? You should be at your desk by now.” She continued coming towards me with a surprised and concerned look.“Hi, Daisy. I…. I was on a personal call. That’s why I didn’t enter.” I muttered a lie after greeting
Nancy’s P.O.V.“What did you say?” I asked Chris, shocked by what he replied to my request for a meeting with Nathan.“You heard me perfectly fine, Ms. Winters. You don’t have any direct business with Mr. Lombart. And all your professional
Nathan’s P.O.V.“Ms. Cynthia William is from a moderate family, basically from Texas. She has an elder brother who is married and has kids. Ms. Williams graduated from Texas University, majoring in business administration and finance. She…. she never went out of the country.” Chris briefed the info
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)I only took a few seconds to come back in the same stoic demeanour that I always had during a business conversation like this.“I appreciate that you trust me enough to give this opportunity to me to prove why you should agree to work with me, Mr. Silva.” I replied to hi
Nathan’s P.O.V.Years of yearning to listen to that voice made me spin on my heels even before I could register what had just happened.I forgot to breathe when I saw a beautiful woman in a black off-shoulder evening gown coming towards us with an old man.Her striking facial features made her stun
