Margot's POV

I kept my eyes glued to Nathan as he offered me a surprised look.

" I just said that none of your projects would work. Your calculations are incorrect. But do not worry. It is nothing that could not be fixed. I can help you with that if you want."

" I do not need your help," I replied dryly, slowly shaking my head.

Nathan glanced at me with concern. " I did not mean to offend you," he spoke softly, and I could tell he meant it. "I should not look at those, but I could not help myself. You always had such a bright mind."

" I bet you couldn't," I mumbled quietly, still stunned by his discovery. How could I explain what was bothering me? How could I tell him he was the reason for all of that? Especially now, when all my effort seemed pointless.

I was fully aware of those mistakes in the calculation since I made them intentionally to prevent myself from being stolen from people who might use my work as their own. To protect myself from people like Nathan.

  • One Night Stand with the Enemy   Chapter thirty-three

    Third-party POV " God damn it," I yelled, forcefully hitting my desk and making Nicole flinch in fear. " Are you sure about that?" " Positive," she replied, still shaking. " She is going to sell her projects to whoever pays the most." I plopped onto my chair, unable to stay still. This was impossible. I would not expect Margot to do it. She seemed attached to her work, almost treating those projects like her children. There were times when I teased her about that mercilessly. And now, she was willing to get rid of them like that. " Did she say when?" I looked at Nicole, who took a step back, frightened by my cold stare. "Nnno," Nicole mumbled, avoiding my eyes. " Look at me. There is something you are not telling me. Whatever it is, I am not going to be mad at you," I promised, but Nicole was still hesitating. " Speak up!" I raised my voice as my patience was wearing thin. " She seemed desperate," Nicole blurted out. " I think she is going to do it soon." Th

  • One Night Stand with the Enemy   Chapter thirty two

    Margot's POV I stared at Nathan, wondering if I had heard him right. I was expecting different things, but not such a straight-up refusal. " What?" I managed to ask, my voice weak. Nathan glanced at me, his face straight. " I do not want your projects," he repeated slowly as if I had not understood the first time. Now, anger slowly bloomed in my chest. I was ready to sacrifice my hard work, and he did not want it. " Why? Is my work not good enough?" I glared at him, humiliated. " That is not what I said," Nathan shook his head, but I was already turned on. " I think that is precisely what you said. You think my ideas are not brilliant enough to pay attention to them? Well, not everyone is a fraking genius like you. But I worked my ass off to get them done." At this moment, anger and embarrassment were boiling inside me. Nathan kept watching me silently, while I wondered if hitting his face would be a good idea. " Are you done?" Nathan finally asked, and some

    Margot's POV' Was it a good idea? Maybe I should not be doing this?' I kept questioning myself with every step I took. A couple of times, I tried to get back and think about something, but instead, I kept pushing myself to move forward. I have spent a sleepless night analysing everything. Nicole's visit only showed me I had not much time left. I did not believe a single word she said, except that Sam used her as well. But unlike me, she would let him use her over and over again. Nicole always had a soft spot for Sam, and I knew she would happily take my place at the right opportunity. Now, she could have all of that, for what I cared. I was sure Nicole would use everything I said yesterday, and I let her know about my plans. I could almost imagine Sam's face when he would find out, and I found it hilarious. But now, I was having my doubts. When Sam finds out about my plan, it will push him to take some drastic actions. I could not predict what, but for sure, they would not be suita

    Nathan's POV " Uncle Nate," I had heard Brad's voice right before he crushed into me. " Wow, calm down, champ. You are going to break my bones," I laughed and crouched to hug my nephew properly. His face was beaming with joy. " Happy birthday." " I knew you would come," Brad squealed as I turned around and pulled the box I brought with me. " I wouldn't miss it. Here you go, I hope you will like it," I smiled, but then my eyes landed on Isa. She stood nearby, her arms crossed, her eyes glued to her son, who was now busy unwrapping his present. " You missed the party, though," Brad glanced at me. " It was epic. We had a DJ!" " A DJ? Now, I'm mad I missed it." Isa looked at me for the first time since I arrived. " Would you like something to drink?" She asked out of politeness, even if my presence here was the last thing she wanted. I opened my mouth to respond, but Brad's voice filled the room. " It is a robot! It is a freaking robot!" " Brad, language," Isa's voice hard

  • One Night Stand with the Enemy   Chapter twenty nine.

    Margot's POV So there she was, my so-called friend, staring at me with her puffy eyes and smeared makeup. She looked nothing like the woman I had known, but after everything, the question was whether I knew her. " What?" This word came out of my mouth before I could think. Nicole looked at me and then looked around. " Can we talk inside?" I stayed still, unable to decide whether this was a good idea, but then I took a hesitant step back, letting her in. " Thank you," Nicole said quietly before coming in. " Get to the point," I replied, motioning her to the living room. " You said you were sorry, so tell me what you are sorry for and then leave." Nicole stopped in her tracks and turned around to face me. I watched her with my arms crossed. " You have every right to be mad at me," she said slowly, and I let a bitter laugh. " Wow, thank you. I was not sure how I felt about you, but now, with your approval, everything is finally clear. I am mad, what a ground-bre

  • One Night Stand with the Enemy   Chapter twenty eight

    Margot's POV For the next couple of days, I was experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. On one hand, I could not shake off the feeling of overwhelming shame. How could I stoop so low and let myself get carried away with simple lust? It was not like me; I have never acted this way. On the other hand, I could not forget Nathan's touch, his lips wandering on my skin and his soft kisses making my skin burn. No matter how many times I told myself what we did was wrong, those images kept popping in my head, giving me a headache. I was torn between the disgust for myself and the desire to run back into Nathan’s arms. This inner fight kept me exhausted and emotionally drained. On top of that, I could not stop thinking about Sam and whatever he had hidden in his sleeve. I knew him long enough to know he would not admit his defeat and leave me alone. This man was too stubborn to do it. Something I once admired could become a serious problem, especially since I was gone now, and all his
