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.

Suzanne felt her heart fluttering involuntarily.

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

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