The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 118

Nancy paused for a moment. So, it was Neil who stepped in to help?

That made sense, considering she had just signed a partnership with Evergreen Global.

"I'm sorry, this won't happen again," Nancy said softly, seeing that Judson was upset and trying to calm him down.

Judson let out a frustrated huff but then seemed to remember something, shaking his head obediently. "Nancy, you don't need to apologize. You're the one who's been hurt here."

With that, he pulled her into a tight hug, planting a quick kiss on her cheek.

"I trust you, Nancy. This won't happen again."

The warmth of the kiss lingered on Nancy's face, and she couldn't help but notice Judson's bright eyes. She cleared her throat awkwardly. "Go on, get cleaned up."

Judson grinned and nodded, getting up from the floor and heading to the bathroom.

Nancy watched him leave, taking in his broad shoulders, slim waist, and... She quickly turned away, her face flushed, her heart pounding too wildly to calm down.

"Jeez," Nancy muttered, trying to regain her composure. Her thoughts drifted back to Lucy's betrayal last night, and a fierce determination flared in her eyes. It seemed she'd been too lenient, and it was high time she had a serious talk with Lucy.
