The Wrong Woman

Chapter 9

Suzanne raised a hand to stop Lucas from speaking further. “That’s enough. You don’t need

to leave.”

She wasn’t petty enough to make someone lose a job they loved over such a small matter.

Thrilled, Lucas thanked her gratefully. “Thank you so much, Madam. I truly appreciate it. I’m at your service from now on, no matter what you need me to do.”

“Sure.” Lucas took the watch from her.

Suzanne asked, “Are there any train stations or airports nearby?”

Lucas was dismayed. “Are you going to leave?”

Suzanne forced a bitter smile and nodded. She couldn’t stand watching Nathan’s affection for another woman any longer.
