His complexion was slightly pale, and he looked a little worn out, due to the drug he was injected with.
Lucinda was momentarily stunned.
She didnât see those words coming from Nathaniel.
âTo gain my trust, youâre willing to say anything.
â She was skeptical.
âI know you wouldnât believe me now.
In the future, you will figure out that I didnât lie to you.
â
She pinched Nathanielâs chin with a sneer.
âI despise deceit the most.
You used to detest and mistreat me, but at least that was genuine.
If I discover that you lied to me, I wonât let it slide easily.
â
Nathaniel was at a loss for words.
He knew that what he had said was the absolute truth.
Lucinda released his chin and returned her gaze to the list.
âWhat should I do with these loyal employees?â she asked.
Nathaniel let out a sigh.
âTheyâve been working for the Roberts Group for years so you canât just fire them all.
People are self-centered.
If you provide them with good incentives, they will support you in due course.
â
Lucinda was still trying to make sense of Nathanielâs request.
âSo you want me to act like I didnât see this list?â
Nathaniel nodded in agreement.
âWith this list, you can have a clear goal to strive towards.
You can reward them appropriately, but at the same time, keep an eye on them if necessary.
â
Lucinda pondered this for a while, but she couldnât bring herself to believe Nathanielâs words.
âSo you made Alexis and Marvin to write this list just so you can give it to me?â she asked.
âYes, if you didnât come here now, I was planning to give it to you personally when I returned home tonight.
You happened to come by and have nearly misunderstood meâ¦â
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly while he spoke.
He Looked a bit sad.
Lucinda wasnât convinced yet.
She paid no mind to the expression on his face and asked, âYou canât be giving me this list for nothing, right?â she asked, eyeing Nathaniel suspiciously.
