When Nigel suddenly rose from his seat, Nathalie inferred she had successfully provoked him. She assumed he would leave but was surprised when he approached her. It was only then that she realized everything when she was suddenly lifted up from her seat. She almost wrapped her arms around the neck of someone who lifted her.

Everything happened so fast; Nathalie just figured out she was now sitting in her ex-husband's lap. She reacted quickly and would have stood up immediately but the man was faster than her as he hold both of her hands tightly. "Nigel Sarmiento, what are you doing? let me go!" Both of her cheeks were starting to turn red with embarrassment, she never expected her ex-husband to behave this way. She tried to get away. "N-nigel, please..... it's embarrassing..." She said, glancing around awkwardly.

"Embarassing? Are you embarrassed of me now?" Nigel glanced at the people around. He saw that only the women there were glancing at the two of them while the men acted as

"What took you so long?" she snapped as the man approached and sat down.Nigel ignored her question and promptly took the two menus politely offered by the approaching waiter. "Order whatever you'd like," He said after placing a menu in front of her.Nathalie gently pushed it back. "I'm fine, I'm full.""Just order coffee, then." The man suggested while choosing what he's going to order without lifting his gaze. "Heh, coffee? Are you sure?"

    As soon as Nathalie walked inside the building, she fixed herself up, pulling down her skirt and fixing her hair. She then approached the receptionist. "Excuse me, I'm here to see the CEO.""Just a second, ma'am, I'll just check if you have an appointment, what's your full name?" After checking her list: "I'm sorry ma'am, you don't have a schedule."Nathalie was taken aback. "There's nothing? But he told me last night to come here anytime."The receptionist did not answer but looked at Nathalie with slight doubt.When Nathalie saw this, she couldn't help to rubbed her own forehead. "Miss, I know you're just doing your job, but believe me, your boss and I really had a talk. Maybe you can let me in?""I'm sorry, ma'am. Unfortunately, granting you access contradicts our receptionist policy, and I would be held personally responsible for any consequences."Nathalie's plea did nothing so she went to the corner to make a call. She discovered that she actually blocked her ex-husband. She un

    As Natalie's eyes fluttered open, she was met with a sterile white environment. She instantly realized she was in a hospital."Nat! You're finally awake, how are you feeling?" Her mother, Lucille, asked abruptly with worry in her face. "What happened, why you suddenly had an attack? I thought your condition wasn't that serious when Lorraine told me about your situation, it turns out...." She sobbed between her words."Mom...." Nathalie reached out to rubbed her arm. "My condition isn't that serious, I'm just agitated. Besides, I was dragged by those two guards, that's why." She stopped abruptly when she remembered something important. "Goodness!

    The middle-aged woman stared at Nigel's face. When she confirmed who it was, she sarcastically laughed. "Oh, just look at the coincidence. So it's you? How are you, Mr. Sarmiento? You're still alive?"Nigel's grip on the woman's arm tightened. "Of course, I'm still alive, and I won't die yet - not until you receive the punishment you deserve.""Ha?" Lorraine went puzzled. "What are you talking about? Do I owe you something I didn't know?"Nigel shook her violently out of rage; he didn't seem to care that she was a woman or that she was old enough to be his mother. "Stop denying it! You're only making your guilt worse. Just admit what you've done already!"Lorraine resisted. "Let me go, you're hurting me!" When she managed to break free, she immediately distanced herself. "Are you insane? What am I supposed to have done that you're talking about?" "However much you deny it, I won't let you get away with it. You're such a vile woman; you shouldn't be a doctor, you should be in jail."

    "See, isn't he's so shameless? How thick his face was to blame others when it all started with him! If he hadn't secretly hooked up with your snake of a friend, would you guys end up in this state? I really wondered, what kind of mindset your ex-husband has. Good grief! The good thing is that you're finally free from him." Said the agitated Lorraine after she told everything to nathalie about what she went through because of Nigel. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Nathalie massaging her temples. "Nat, are you alright? What's wrong?" She checked on her heart monitor watch."I'm fine 'mie. I apologize for what Nigel had done to you." "Hump! Why are you apologizing on his behalf? He should be the one to apologize to me. And don't ever defend him, he's not even worthy of your concern.""Fine, can you just calm down now? You've been agitated since earlier. What's important is, the cops didn't take side with him and they didn't detain you illegally. But, I have a request for you.

They seem super close," Another woman asked."Yeah, look at how Mrs. Chairman is holding onto her, it's like they're mother and daughter or something."

He approached his wife, Lucille, who was happily chatting with her friends, to ask if she knew where their daughter was.Lucille looked around and searched among the crowd. "Is she still not here? She told me she was going to the restroom a while ago.""She went to the restroom a while ago, but she's still not here?""I don't know either, maybe Nico knows where his sister is. Why don't you ask him?" Lucille suggested.Armando approached his eldest son, Nico, who was quietly drinking on the side. "Nico, have you seen your sister?"Nico didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard him."Nico," Armando called out again."Yes, Dad?""Have you seen Nathalie?"Nico scowled and slightly raised his voice. "Why are you looking for her with me? Am I her babysitter? Besides, she's already grown up, right?""What's wrong with you? I'm just asking if you've seen your sister. You can't behave like th

    "Here..." Eman, Armando's assistant, looked puzzled as Francesca abruptly handed him her luxurious shoulder bag. She had carelessly shoved it into his chest. They are now walking together as he escorted her to the meeting room."Hey, be careful with that," Francesca said. "It's a limited edition from Pr*da, and it's worth millions in your currency. If you damage it, your salary for ten years won't even come close to covering the cost."As soon as Eman heard the woman's words, he felt a mix of anxiety and annoyance. He had been working for the company for a long time, but this was the first time someone had treated him like this. Even the business partners of his boss were respectful to him, despite him being just a lowly assistant. So, he couldn't help but wonder where this rude and arrogant young woman came from, especially since she was just the daughter of one of the company's foreign investors. It seemed like she wasn't taught good manners by her parents, and Eman couldn't

    Lucille went puzzled when Nathalie suddenly rushed downstairs. She followed her and caught up to her by the phone. "Nat, who's this Mr. Davis guy and why are you in such a hurry?" Lucille's eyes widened as a realization dawned on her. "Wait a minute, don't tell me you're actually dating him? Nat, he's old! If I'm not mistaken, he's probably around your dad's age." She approached Nathalie, who was busy on the phone. "Come on, spill the beans - who's Mr. Davis really?""Mom, can you just relax? I'm not dating him, no. Mr. Davis is the representative of the foreign investors in our company." Nathalie replied without looking at her, too busy with what she was doing. Lucille finally calmed down. "Good thing it's just that. Oh, Nat, I don't think I could handle it if you had a boyfriend that old." Meanwhile, on the other line: When Mr. Davis saw the number from Armando's residence on his caller ID display, he cleared his throat for a moment before speaking. "Yes, Mrs. Andeza?""Goo

    Nathalie quickly stood up, the sudden chaos also drawing attention from the other diners. "Nigel!" She hastily approached him, almost embracing him just to prevent him from charging. She looked at his face, his brows were furrowed and he had a dark and gloomy expression. This was the first time she had seen him this mad. "Co-cousin?.... Nigel, wh-what's going on here?" Asked Nigel's cousin, who owned the restaurant. He was immediately informed by the waiter that a commotion was happening, but he had no idea that it was his cousin who was involved as they rarely saw each other due to their busy lives.Nigel completely ignored the guy on the floor, he quickly grabbed the paper bag and its contents, and then yanking Nathalie's wrist to pull her out of the restaurant. Just as they stepped out, the guy's phone suddenly rang. He was still wincing in pain as he struggled to pull out his phone from his pocket. "H-hello... They... They went outside... The man punched me and I think I got o

    "Oh, Nigel!" Armando exclaimed with a smile as the man walked into his office. "Good afternoon uncle. I hope I'm not disturbing you."Not at all! Why would you say that? You're welcome here anytime... By the way, Nathalie mentioned that she came from your place last night. How's your mom?" Nigel took a seat first. "She's doing fine, thank you." "I think, we should have dinner together sometime, just a simple one, so we can catch up personally.""Sounds good, uncle. Then I'll wait for your call," Nigel agreed."Anyway, why are you here, do you need something? Just let me know." Nigel seemed hesitant. "Well, um... I know I haven't been asking for your permission whenever I invite Nathalie out, even just for simple dinners, but... I feel like since... um, since I'm courting her, it's only right that... that I ask for your permission whenever I invite her out somewhere."A sudden silence took place. Nigel slowly raised his eyes, as Armando didn't respond. His heart began to beat

    After dinner, Nigel took Nathalie to the outskirts, according to him, to help their digestion. While they strolled along the lake's edge, both of them were quiet because they didn't know what to talk about. Nathalie felt awkward, wanting to break the silence but not knowing what to say. Little did she know, Nigel was feeling the same way. He walked behind her, his eyes fixed on her as she walked ahead. His gaze was almost as if he was guarding her. "Nat..." he called out softly."Nathalie stopped and slowly turned around. "About Mr. Davis, I feel like he has something against you and uncle Armando. Be careful around him."Nathalie became puzzled "Why did you say that? I don't recall doing anything he wouldn't like. Did he and my dad have conflict?"Nigel shook his head. "I don't know. Just keep your distance from him and don't let him get close to you.""How about his daughter—""Same. You saw what she did earlier, didn't you? Just avoid them." "Um, okay."After that, Nathalie

    "Hi Mr. Sarmiento~" Franchesca chimed in. She inserted herself between Nigel and Nathalie, deliberately blocking the latter from Nigel's view. Nigel scowled at her rude behavior, but he didn't want to give her attention. He glanced at Nathalie, who was now behind Franchesca. She was partially hidden because the foreign woman was taller than her and had a more huge frame. "Let's go, Nat. Let's talk somewhere else," Nigel suggested."You're leaving with her? No!" Franchesca exclaimed. Nigel furrowed his brow while Nathalie went speechless because of the woman sudden appearance and attitude. "Excuse me, miss?" "Let's just ignore her, let's go." When Nigel grabbed Nathalie's arm to lead her away, Franchesca immediately reacted. She swiftly removed Nigel's hand and secretly pushed Nathalie. The latter lost her balance and her body pressed against the wall. That's when Nigel's disposition turned bad.He intend to ignore Franchesca, thinking she was acting like a kid seeking attention,

    "Dad, tell me more about Nigel." Franchesca asked while her dad was driving them home."Why do you want to know about him, do you like him?" "Kind of. Is he's taken?" "No. What do you like about him?" "Well, he's handsome, his tanned skin look good with his demeanor as a businessman." "That's it?" Her father asked."Well, yeah..... Is there anything else?" "Okay, I'll help you. But make sure you will really get him, don't disappoint me.""Sure!"When Mr. Davis got home, he started investigating Nigel's connection to Armando and Nathalie. He was curious about why Nigel seemed so concerned about them. So, he got his private investigator, who worked at Armando's company, to dig up some dirt. But what he found out left him stunned - Nigel used to be Armando's former son-in-law and he is Nathalie's ex-husband! "Are you sure about this? This is complicated..... Okay, I trust you on that.

Mr. Davis asked while sipping his coffee in the living room, as his daughter was about to leave the house."Oh yeah, Dad, I forgot to tell you that I'm actually going an an out of town trip with my friends.""Out of trip? Where's that? Why are you telling me this now?" Just then, his cellphone rang. "Hold on, don't go yet.""Why?

"Oh, Mr. Sarmiento! Yes?... Are you inviting me? Really?... Okay. Alright, I'll go. Now?... Alright."A flash of shrewdness appeared in Mr. Davis' old face after the phone conversation. "Just look at it, It looks like things are going in my favor.""Dad, can I leave now? My friends might be waiting for me.""No, you're not going anywhere. You're coming with me," "What?!

    It was still early when Nigel went to Nathalie's company, he went straight to Armando's office. As he walked in, he was surprised to see Nico and Nathalie already there. Armando's assistant, Eman, was also present."Good morning, Uncle. Good morning, Nat... Good morning, Mr. Andeza, Mr. Joselito."When Nico caught sight of Nigel, his eyes landed on the bandage on his forehead. He felt an inexplicable feeling, he looked down and seemed lost in thought."Good morning, Nigel. Come in." Armando instructed his assistant to get a chair. "Uncle, is it true that the person who rammed into us last night got away?" Armando let out a disappointed sigh. "Yes. Unfortunately, there aren't many CCTV cameras in the area where that car exited." Nigel thought for a moment. "May I see the footage?"They all headed to the monitoring room and watched the only footage of the vehicle that was caught on their CCTV. Nico's face scrunched up in disappointment. "Is that all?
