She wondered what was said on the other end of the line. When Nigel remembered Elaine was still in his office watching him, he quickly composed himself and returned to normal, trying to act nonchalant. He went back to negotiating with her. "It's already been said, no! You're coming with me right now! This is the last thing I'm asking of you, Nigel, so stop giving me a headache," Elaine said irritably.Nigel's eyes slightly narrowed. He thought, when Elaine said "This is the last thing," did she mean she's confident about succeeding in whatever she's planning?

    "Hi Nigel, good afternoon," Elaine greeted as she entered Nigel's office. Nigel just glanced at her and continued working. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" Elaine asked, walking closer to the desk. "What should I say to you?" Nigel replied without looking up. "I left yesterday without telling you, I thought you might be looking for me." "No, I wasn't. Actually, it's fine with me even if you don't show up at all."Elaine wasn't angered with his response, she walked around to his back and hugged him.Nigel froze. His expression darkening, and for a moment, he had an urge to kick her out of the office. However, he clenched his fist and restrained himself. He couldn't afford to act out yet, not until he got what he needed from her."Don't be like that, Nigel. If I don't show up anymore, our deal will be over. How will you get Nathalie's heart then?" she whispered in his ear, her voice almost seductive, but it only seemed to annoy him further. "You're not going to give up on

    Nigel's body stiffened as he looked down at the ring on his table. When he picked it up, a pang hit his chest. He clenched his fist around the ring. "Nat, you're breaking off your engagement to me? Why?""Why? Are you really clueless? I think I don't need to answer that. You know exactly why, don't you, Nigel? I'm not going to let you make a fool of me again like you did before. Don't even think I'll still marry you knowing you're cheating on me again.""Cheating on you?" Nigel took a deep breath. "Is this about Elaine?"Nathalie didn't respond, but her face darkened while tears welled up in her eyes. She struggled to hold them back. "Since Elaine is the one you really love, why'd you make me believe your lies? You even pretended to be angry with her, but it truned out..."Nigel looked troubled by Nathalie's accusations. "Nathalie, no... it's not like that." He pulled his hair in frustration. "Just trust me, okay? Everything I'm doing is for a reason, and it's all for you. I just ca

    "Goodness gracious!" an older woman exclaimed as Nathalie, who was rushing bumped into her. Nathalie covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. The woman watched as she leaned against the wall, wondering about her heart monitor watch beeping away. Realizing something was wrong, she approached her. "Miss, are you okay?" But before she could reach her, Nathalie took off.Nathalie walked away, trying to calm herself down. With a mix of sadness and anger swirling inside her, she refused to give in this time. She pressed her lips together, rubbing her chest soothingly. 'That's enough, calm down...' But her heart monitor watch continued to beep, filling her with worry. Unlike when she had an attack at Nigel's company, where she felt secure with Andy's help, now she felt uneasy being in an unfamiliar place with no one she knew.As her grip on the wall slipped, she was about to fall when a hand suddenly grasped her arm.

    Elaine tossed the medicine bottle aside when she realized it was empty. Her head was throbbing and aching as she made a call to the pharmacy to deliver the medication she needed. She had planned to follow Nigel to the hospital where Nathalie was, but not to comfort her, but to mock and ridicule her instead. However, karma seemed to have caught up with her as her migraine suddenly flared up, forcing her to rush back to her hotel.When the medication delivery arrived, she immediately took it. Once her migraine subsided, she grabbed a glass of red wine and sat down on the chaise lounge. She then called Nigel, but he didn't answer. She gulped all the wine in the glass and headed to visit him at his office instead."Ma'am, we're here," the taxi driver said to Nathalie. After being discharged from the hospital, she had taken a taxi home, despite Andy's offer to drive her. She had declined because she wanted to be alone; she also hadn't told her family what had happened.Upon reaching thei

    "You're really quiet today, don't you have anything to say? You didn't even greet me or ask if I've had breakfast," Elaine said to Nigel, who was driving. Nigel didn't respond, like he hadn't heard her. If only Elaine knew how much he wanted to kick her out of the car, but he knew he had to play nice. "Where should I drop you off?" "You want to get rid of me already, huh?" Elaine moved closer and unexpectedly hugged Nigel. She almost jerked forward when Nigel suddenly slammed on the brakes.Nigel pulled over for a moment. "What the...?! Can't you see I'm driving?!" he snapped. Elaine fell silent, pouting like a scolded child. "Sorry, Nigel... why are you being so grumpy with me? I remember you never used to raise your voice at me before, you were always so gentle when we talked. But now, just a little mistake and you're already yelling?"Nigel continued driving.

Before entering, she takes out her expensive perfume from her pouch and gives herself a quick spritz.When she opened the door, she saw a man standing by the window.

    When Nathalie woke up, she jolted upright, disoriented. The events from earlier immediately flooded back to her. She had been heading to the restroom at a gas station when someone suddenly attacked her from behind. They grabbed her and dragged her somewhere, while one of them made her inhale something from a handkerchief, making her pass out.When she looked around, she realized she was in an abandoned place. Fear enveloped her as she wrapped her arms around herself. A question formed in her mind: was this a kidnapping for ransom? Thinking that might be the reason, her fear slightly diminished. If that was the case, they would definitely ask ransom money. As long as the kidnappers didn't think of doing anything inappropriate to her, she will be fine.She jolted as the creaky, rusty door swung open. Two men, both wearing hoods and face masks entered. "Oh, she's awake. Maybe we can start now and get this job done?" One of the men asked.Nathalie's fear returned. What did the man mean?

    Nigel suddenly grabbed Elaine's neck. "Do you really want me to be a criminal, Elaine? Do you really want me to be forced to kill someone?" Elaine struggled and angrily broke free from his grip. "Can't you just accept me, Nigel? Why is it so hard for you to do what I'm asking? Didn't you love me once–" "Yes, but I was blind back then!" Nigel snapped, silencing Elaine. "I made a mistake! I chose the wrong person. If you hadn't lied to me and pretended to save me from the fire, do you think I would've even noticed you?" Elaine froze, feeling like she'd been slapped as she was reminded of her deception and lies."Actually, it's also my fault for being deceived. I didn't even think you were fake. You know, you're one of the mistakes in my life. I wish I never met you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have hurt the person I love." "Enough!" Elaine interrupted, somewhat hurt by his words.
