Chapter 10 % This morning , I decided to spend the entire day at the company .
The issue of the missing funds from yesterday still hadnt been resolved what Edgar took was gone for good As a result , Thad no choice but to cover the companys losses with my personal funds .
Otherwise , my employees wouldnt receive their salaries this month 1 I was still working with Hazels company , and this time , Trequested a team to conduct a comprehensive audit and analyze company data it wouldnt be a quick process , but hoped it was the night step also needed Ceros expertise to strengthen our data security so that something like this wouldnt happen again Can you handle it ? Lasked Cero , who was staring intently at the computer screen in front of him !! His colleagues were al
so hard at work , analyzing data and securing the system .
The security shield would be Cems responsibility I turned just in time to see him leaning back in his chair , subsfaction flickening in his expression .
For some reason , his sharp blue eyes reminded me of Nathan God , why was I thinking about him now ? His behavior last night was infuriating Besides , when I left this morning , I hadnt seen him step out of his unit .
Was he still inside , or had he already left ?! I had no idea whether he actually worked or just spent his days enjoying life like a reckless young man : ] ] Mr.
Howard , fm leaving you in charge of supervising them .

What is it , Kate ?? ) | Someone is here to see you , she said , her voice tinged with hesitation Frowned , trang to recall any scheduled meetings I did have plans to meet with a few shareholders regarding yesterdays incident , but those were group discussions , not individual appointments .
Wright , Ill head to the meeting room : No , maam Kate cut me off , preventing me from taking another step .
Before I could question her , she quickly added , Hes in the lobby I nodded , surprised .
It was unusual for my quest to be kept downstairs .
If it were one of the shareholders , my staff would have escorted them up following standard protocol .
Was it Nothan ?! Remembering his odd behavior last night , I wouldnt put it past him to do something unexpected .
But I hadnt told him where my company was As far as he knew , I was just a designer with a boutique unless he had gone out of his way to dig up information about guest who had Ugh , whatever .
I wasnt going to waste te my time thinking about my strange neighbor .
I was more concerned about the ques arrived without an appointment ¦ well When I reached the lobby , following Kate , my suspicion was confirmed .
Sitting casually on the sofa was a figure I recognized all too Nathan So , my guess was right ! But what was he doing here ? Had he seriously followed me to work ? That seemed unlikely Oh He greeted me cheerfully % What are you doing here ? Lasked bluntly , not bothering to mask my irritation X Just taking a stroll Nathan shrugged , looking as annoyingly carefree as ever Astroll ? Do you think this building is a tourist attraction ? I folded my arms across my chest .
I never understood what went on in this mans head.X He chuckled , as if I had just cracked a joke .
Should I smack him upside the head ? Youre too sensitive , Sharon .
He tried to stifle his laughter but quickly sobered when I shot him a glare .

So , whats the verdict ? I sighed .
Not for coffee .
Even though I think you could really use a caffeinated drink ? I shot him a flat look , unwilling to entertain his nonsense .
Regardless , we ended up heading to a small cafe not far from my office on Greenwich Street .
!! I ordered a hot chocolate and a bagel with cream cheese , while Nathan settled for an Americano .
It didnt take long for our orders to arrive , and we quietly enjoyed our drinks .
I sipped my hot chocolate , savoring the warmth in the chilly weather .
When was the last time I took a moment to relax like this ? | couldnt even remember , Probably before I discovered Edgars betrayal almost two months ago .
A sudden wave of nausea hit me at the thought .
Hey , Nath I called , making him look up .
Actually- Well , well , look who we have here ! A loud , mocking voice cut me off .
Nathan and I both turned toward the source , and my stomach twisted in dread .
Of all the people in the world , why did I have to run into them ? Life really had a sick sense of humor )
