The Wrong Woman

Chapter 14

Nathan left the room and walked down the corridor before he reached his study. He turned on the lights and called Sally.

He had come all the way here so that he wouldn’t disturb Suzanne, who was already fast asleep.

When the call connected, Sally’s saccharine voice sounded at once. “Nate, why aren’t you here yet? I’m scared!”

Nathan felt tired. He asked her gently, “What are you scared of?”

Sally tried using her coquettish voice with him. “I’m just really scared, okay? Just come here and stay with me!”

“It’s

Nathan looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:00 pm, so he rejected her straight up. too late, so it’s inappropriate for me to be there. I’ll send someone to guard your door, okay?

“There’s nothing to be scared of. Just go to sleep. I’m taking Suzanne back to Phoenicia early tomorrow morning.”

Sally immediately pouted and said unhappily, “Isn’t Lucas supposed to be dropping her back? Why do you have to do it?”

Nathan sat down at his desk and held his head in his hand. He explained patiently, “She’s my wife, so I need to be a good husband to her. It’s the very least I can do for her.”

Sally sounded anxious on the phone. “But Nate, she’s dirty! You can’t sleep with her!”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Nathan’s face turned dark. He frowned as he replied sternly, “Sally, you can’t talk badly about other people behind their backs like this. Everyone’s past should always be respected.”

Sally burst into tears at once. “Nate, you’ve slept with her, haven’t you? I heard that she has STDs. Do you think you might have contracted it from her?”

Had Sally been someone else, Nathan would have lost his temper by now. But she was Sally Hoffis, the woman he’d had a crush on for more than a decade.

Nathan just remained calm and explained patiently once more. “Sally, whether I sleep with her or not has nothing to do with love.

away. Don’t

“I don’t love her. So it goes without saying that I wouldn’t sleep with her think too much about it. Also, don’t talk bad about other people like that anymore.”

“Well, since you love me so much, why won’t you sleep with me then?” Sally asked teasingly, trying to make a joke out of the situation to test the waters.

Nathan’s face darkened once more. This time, he truly lost his temper with her.

His voice turned low as he chided her. “Sally Hoffis, is this the only thing you’ve learned after studying abroad for ten years? Who taught you this?”

Sally could tell that Nathan was angry with her. She hurriedly backtracked and used her cute voice again. “Nate, I was just kidding.”

Nathan said sternly, “I don’t have the time to kid around with you. Go to sleep immediately. Someone will be guarding your door tonight. Tomorrow morning, Cole will arrive with a counselor for you.”

“A counselor for me? What for?” Sally was astonished.

Nathan simply replied, “Think about it yourself.”

After hanging up, Nathan immediately called his subordinates to send someone to guard Sally’s home. He also arranged for the counselor to see her the next day.

By the time he finished arranging everything, Nathan felt exhausted. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

He thought about what Sally had been like when they were younger. She had used to be cute, kind, and smart. Even though she had been a crybaby, she had never kicked up a fuss over anything.

Sally had been chubbier when she was younger. However, she had a very cute and likable character, especially when she pouted.

Nonetheless, she had always known her limits and how to read the room. In other words, she had been a little girl whom everyone loved and admired from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, Nathan wasn’t too sure anymore.

Early the next morning, Nathan was the first to wake up.

“Suzanne, wake up.”

Suzanne could hear a man’s magnetic and captivating voice in her ear. It was low and hoarse and tugged at her heartstrings, making her drunk with desire.

“Suzanne, get up.”

She then felt someone nudging at her arm. Only then did she finally stir awake.

She noticed that she was sleeping on a broad and firm chest that was incredibly warm and cozy. She blinked sleepily as she looked up at the person.

Suzanne immediately caught sight of Nathan’s handsome face, which was staring back at her with a pained expression. His eyes were narrowed at her.

Her thoughts cleared immediately. It was only then that she realized she was half–sprawled over Nathan’s body.

Her arms were hooked around his neck, and she had one leg pressed up against his crotch. It looked like she was trying to seduce him.

All at once, Suzanne jumped off his body like she got an electric shock. She sat up quickly and moved over in bed, apologizing profusely the entire time.

“I’m so sorry! I–I didn’t mean to do it. I was asleep, and I had no idea that I went overboard.

I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

She had only hugged him in her sleep, and yet she was behaving like a little child who had done something wrong. She looked shy and embarrassed as she apologized to Nathan.

After all, she was a dirty whore who didn’t deserve so much as to even touch Nathan.

When Suzanne pulled away, Nathan inexplicably felt empty all of a sudden.

He didn’t know if the tent in his pants was regular morning wood or if it had been caused by the feel of Suzanne’s body against him. Regardless of what it was, he just knew he was hard

as fuck

Nathan cleared his throat and responded coldly, “There’s no need to apologize.”

Suzanne hung her head. She suddenly remembered that Nathan had gone out to see Sally the night before. She didn’t know when he had come back here.

When she thought of that, she immediately felt upset and miserable.

Nathan pulled the covers aside and got out of bed. “Go and wash up. I’ll drive you back to Phoenicia after breakfast.”

Suzanne was stunned momentarily. “You… You’re sending me back to Phoenicia?”

“Yeah.”

Nathan opened the closet and started taking his clothes off.

His back muscles were ripped. In fact, they protruded from his back so much that he looked like a living sculptor, drawing her in like a moth to the flame.

Suzanne felt her cheeks turning hot. Her heart beat wildly against her chest. She quickly turned around and exclaimed shyly, “W–Why are you changing in front of me?”

Nathan was just about to take his pants off when he heard what she said. He froze at once.

He was used to living with a bunch of other men, so he was usually very open about little things like this. He had never paid much attention to his habits before this.

Nathan didn’t reply to her. Instead, he took his pants into the bathroom and came back out a few moments later, fully dressed.

It was only then that Suzanne remembered they had been in the middle of a discussion. She stood before him and asked quietly, “Wasn’t Lucas supposed to be dropping me back today?”

Nathan’s eyes were on his wrists as he buttoned his sleeves up. “Lucas is busy today,” he answered.

“What about Cole?” Suzanne asked.

“He couldn’t take the day off.”

Suzanne said, “You have hundreds, if not thousands, of subordinates to do your bidding, and you can’t find a single one of them who’s free to drop me back?”

Nathan’s eyes dimmed. He looked at Suzanne with a puzzled look on his face.

Suzanne was shocked by the look in his eyes. She asked faintly, “If no one else can do it, you can just buy me a train ticket back.”

Nathan wasn’t pleased. He smirked and asked her back in return, “Why can’t I be the one to take you back?”
