qBen glanced at Nancy awkwardly before he answered with a sheepish grin, “It was just a misunderstanding. They have sorted things out already. I'll share the details with you in a while.”
“What's the matter? Why can't you tell me now?”
Left with no choice, Ben whispered, “Mr. Spencer thought Ms. Lindberg was the one accountable for your injuries since you had put your life at stake to save her when you were in the middle of recovery.”
After a brief pause, Ben took a peek at Nancy before adding, “That was the reason why he picked on her when she came home. However, as soon as Robbie and the rest returned home, the problems were resolved.”
Glaring at Ben in the eyes, Zachary asked, “What were you doing at that time?”
“I was on the way to the hospital with Lupine because she was in a critical condition. She needed someone to keep her—”
Zachary stopped the stuttering Ben from sharing the rest with him and instructed, “That's enough. Get out of my sight at once.”
“Y-Yes!” Afraid of getting on Zachary's nerves, Ben rushed out of the room.
Things had gotten increasingly awkward for the duo in the room because Zachary had just exposed Nancy's little tricks in front of her.
She regretted getting full of herself and trying something as rash as such. Instead of driving them apart, she was the one who had offended the man.
Zachary looked at Nancy in the eyes and deadpanned his reply, “I'll send you an expensive gift during the banquet. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I appreciate you sending Dr. Wright to check on me all this while.”
“Mr. Nacht, I—”
Once again, the man stopped her and remarked, “Ms. Gold, I'm aware of your feelings for me, but it isn't mutual. I consider you a friend of mine and nothing else. Therefore, you need to stop wasting your time on me.”
“No, Mr. Nacht! You have to listen to me!”
