âMaster Nathan, youâve only known her for a short while.
She will never choose you!â Brinleigh shouted after him, but Nathan paid no heed.
âIf you dare lay a finger on her, youâll regret it once she sobers up!â Brinleigh warned, still concerned.
However, Nathan paid him no mind and carried Lucinda away to a nearby hotel.
Once they arrived, Nathan bumped into Leon and Conor who had just booked a room and were in a rush to head back to the bar.

Initially, they only noticed Sonny.
Not recognizing Nathan, who had a mask on, they couldnât help but notice Lucinda in his arms.
âWhy are you holding Miss Simmons like that? And where is Mr.
Hernandez?â they asked, puzzled.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Sonny quickly explained, âThis is Master Nathan, my new boss.
Miss Simmons got too drunk, so heâs taking care of her.
â âBut wonât Miss Simmons be furious when she wakes up?â Leon asked.
âThereâs no need to worry.
The engagement was arranged by the families.
They will get married eventually.
Sheâs now drunk and needs to rest,â Sonny reassured them.
Leon and Conor were taken aback by the news of the engagement, but they decided not to pry any further.
âI doubt thereâs anyone more suitable to take care of her than Master Nathan,â Sonny remarked.
Leon and Conor exchanged glances but didnât respond.
Noticing the key card in Leonâs hand, Sonny swiftly grabbed it and followed Nathan into the hotel.
Leon and Conor hurriedly trailed after them and stood outside the room.
After a while, Sonny emerged from the room and gave their shoulders a friendly pat.
âItâs been over half a year since weâve seen each other.
Why donât we grab a drink tonight?â

Leon hesitated.
âMiss Simmons is staying here, and we need to ensure her safety.
â
Conor agreed with him.
âMaster Nathan is here to protect her.
Heâs a skilled fighter.
Letâs go have a drink,â Sonny suggested.
âButâ¦â
Despite their doubts, Leon and Conor ended up following Sonny for a night of drinks.
Inside the hotel room, Nathan carefully laid Lucinda on the bed, helped her take off her coat and high heels, and tucked her in.
He then went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of warm water, and with tender care, wiped her face.
His movements were gentle, hoping not to stir her from her slumber.
