The Wrong Woman

Chapter 8

The displeasure on Nathan’s expression was evident as he demanded, “Are you teaching her or toying with her?”

Lucas gulped nervously. “Sir, I was teaching Madam self–defense.”

Everyone was worried about Lucas. There was no way Nathan didn’t know what trick Lucas had been trying to do.

Nathan pushed Suzanne aside and said, “Stay away.”

Suzanne felt her heart fluttering involuntarily.

Nathan had never once glanced at her, but his actions showed that he clearly wanted to protect her.

She was puzzled, and she had no idea what he wanted to do.

Lucas‘ face drained of all its color. He tried to explain himself, saying, “General, t–there’s no way I can beat you. I–I was just teaching Madam some self–defense. Please don’t fire me, sir.

Nathan handed his watch to Suzanne, unaffected by Lucas‘ pleas.
