Nina was becoming irritated when Percy insisted on not coming back to the mansion. Is he staying away from her because he had found another woman?

“I’ll wait for you. Just come back when you’re done with your business.” After that, she ended the call.

Percy was a little confused. He knew that everyone had their limits, though Nina had never spoken to him so aggressively before. It made him wonder if that was Nina’s true personality.

It was the first time that she was impatient toward him.

Percy put his phone away. Who could have told her that he was still in the country?

He had deceived Nina for the past few days because he was busy dealing with his business, not to mention that Ms. Johnston, the young woman that his mother was trying to match him with, was pestering him twenty-four seven.

He had to keep himself away from the mansion so that Nina would not be caught in the crossfire, and he only planned to go back after he dealt with the matters at hand.

He was about to succeed in his plan when Nina called him.

Now that she had already found out, he could not keep himself away from her any longer.

The internal telephone began to ring. Percy picked up the receiver and asked, “What is it?”

His assistant was taken aback. Percy sounded as though he was not in a good mood. “Mr. Mallory, Ms. Johnston is in the lobby now. She said that she wants to meet you.”

“Tell her that I’m not in,” Percy said. He was not going to let that woman pester him anymore. If she knew that he was in the company, she would cling to him and not let go.

He would have thrown her into the Pacific Ocean and let her sleep with the fishes, if not that the Johnstons were quite influential.

“But…” His assistant wanted to remind him that Ms. Johnston was his fiancee.

If the Mallory and Johnston families were joined by marriage, the resulting conglomeration might be the biggest in A City or even the country.
