All Chapters of Accept Me, Again!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Cynthia’s P.O.V. “I am still having a hard time believing that she targeted you out of the blue. I mean, she is a celebrity after all, and as far as I know, these celebrities have to maintain a gentle and refined persona in front of the public. She ruined herself for nothing.” I smiled while listening to my sister-in-law, Juliette’s, grumbling about Nancy.“I don’t care if she is ruined or not, Jule. She targeted me when I have no connection with her or anyone related to her. The police chief, Thomas Webber, told me that I resembled Mr. Lombart’s missing wife, and Nancy is his ex-girlfriend. So, she basically thought that I was seducing Mr. Lombart by taking advantage of my resemblance to his wife. Isn’t this absurd?” I was still trying to figure out the whole mess-up.“What? Is she crazy? Are all the bachelors dead that you will go after a married man?” She yelled aloud, and I glare

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued) “I am tired, Mom. I need to sleep now. Tomorrow I am going to complete the merger. I need to be in good spirits. Go, check the footage first. Don’t let her take advantage of you. I can’t believe that you are sharp when it comes to business but naïve when it comes to trusting someone personally.” I said to her tiredly and slowly stood up.I was exhausted and hungry, dead tired to the extent where I could lie down on the floor.“Okay. Go and freshen up. I will cook something for you for dinner.” She instructed me, sounding confused and frustrated.“Thanks, Mom.” I thanked her tiredly and almost dragged my exhausted body towards my bedroom.I didn't even push the door with force after entering the room.After reaching inside my room, I threw the tie and the suit jacket somewhere before throwing myself on the bed on my stomach and closing my eyes

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Don’t let him stop the investigation. Ask him to get all the information that he can get on that woman and her family. We already know that someone has been sabotaging the investigation thoroughly. We can’t just believe whatever we find.” I said to him with a serious expression.“Don’t forget what the reports said. That woman was also pregnant. I don’t believe in coincidences like these.” I added it when I remembered about that.“You are right, Mr. Lombart. Two pregnant women with the same gestation period, thrown in the sea at the same time. This is a way too perfect coincidence.” He remarked, sounding agitated and apologetic at the same time.I felt bitter because we had leads, but we were still at the same place.“Good night, Chris. Take a good rest. Tomorrow is a big day for us.” I instructed while bidding the farewell.“Good night, Mr. Lombart.” He also bid the farewell, and we hung up.I sighed and slumped my shoulders down while staring somewhere bl

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)He anticipated that Mr. Silva might ask for wine after signing the contract to celebrate the last contract of his professional career.I laughed at him at that time, but now I was glad that I let him do whatever he wanted to do.I took glasses and poured some wine.“Put some ice, Nathan.” Mr. Silva instructed me, and I did as instructed.I brought both the glasses to him and gave one of them to him.He mumbled a thank while taking the glass, but his face was serious.We clinked the glasses before I went to the other side.I sat down on the single couch and crossed my legs before taking a sip from the glass.For an unknown reason, I was nervous about this conversation.“I know why you made these changes, Nathan.” He said to me after a stressful short silence.I wasn’t surprised by his remark, though.As an experienced man, this was already expected from him.He suddenly chuckled and put the glass on the armrest. He circled the rim while thinking about it.“T

Cynthia’s P.O.V. (Continued) Terry looked at me with pursed lips and shrugged his shoulders.“There is no clause stating this. According to the previous contract, you will be here for the next six months after acquisition to assist Mr. Lombart, and then you will go back after settling everything on Mr. Silva’s behalf. But if he is going to open the new branch here instead of shifting the whole company here, things will be different.” He replied, and I nodded in understanding.I had a hunch why he wanted to recruit me as his personal assistant for this branch when he had an efficient and more skilled assistant like Chris with him.If what I had in my mind is the reason, I know what I need to do.I admitted that his offer is really tempting, and it will be a good boost for my career, but relocation has never been in my mind.I love my family, and they will never agree to my relocation.“There
