Eager for an answer, Nancy tightly grasped Lewis’ arm.

Several moments later, Lewis leaned forward and tapped his cigarette against the table to remove.

the ashes. Then, he turned to look at her. “We haven’t come to that yet.”

At that thought, Nancy simmered down and looked at Lewis woefully. “Lewis, this is for your own

good-”

Lewis interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “Enough. I’ve heard enough of that.”

Standing up, he shifted his frosty gaze to Nancy. “If you’re really concerned about me, stop

meddling in my affairs. Be it Kiran or Robert, I’ll deal with them. You can stop fretting over them.”
