Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 10

Nathan’s brow furrowed as he listened to Charles’s words. His face was a portrait of impatience as he flicked ash from his cigarette.

“It’s only because you plastered her photos all over Sheysea University and threatened my sister to leave discreetly that we can even find my sister now.”

The sparse bamboo shadows swayed with the wind. Strands of hair obscured Audrey’s eyes, masking the emotions swirling in their dark depths.

Audrey gripped her phone, feeling a tightness around her eyes. So, that was why Nathan had posted her photos all over Sheysea University. He had used her to threaten Amelia.

How absurd.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Nathan asked, his voice laced with irritation.

Charles extinguished his cigarette and leaned in closer to Nathan. “Even though you swore nothing happened that night with Audrey, it’s still a lingering issue for my sister, right? Deep down, you’re not sure either, are you?”

The darkness in Nathan’s eyes deepened Charles‘ words hit a nerve. He asked, “So, what now?”

Charles sneered, “I bet Audrey will call Anne soon, begging for mercy. When she does, you should lure Audrey out, and use whatever drug she used on you, on her. Isn’t Hugo fond of Audrey? This could be a perfect setup for him.

“As long as Hugo confirms Audrey’s innocence, my sister will have nothing to worry about. Even if something did happen between you and Audrey that night, won’t Hugo owe you one once gets what he wants from Audrey?

“By then, even if the divorce was a tactical retreat, Audrey would lose all dignity for being with another man if she approached you again, wouldn’t she? It’s the perfect chance to be rid of her once and for all.”

Charles smiled as he watched Nathan’s expression. He probed, “Nathan, you don’t still have feelings for Audrey, do you?”

“Are you done speaking nonsense?” Nathan spat, tugging at his collar.

“Just listen to me! Look. The last time you followed my plan and posted Audrey’s photos, my sister stayed with you. This time, do as I say, and I guarantee my sister will accept your proposal.”
