The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1122

Michelle felt a flicker of awkwardness.

Wendy immediately spoke up. "Mr. Lynch, look at us! We're covered in scratches! You have to stand up for us!"

Nathan strode straight up to Michelle and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Michelle curved her lips, forcing a casual smile. "Hi there. What a coincidence. I brought my team here for dinner. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Nathan asked flatly, "What happened? Why did it turn into a fight?"

Irene jumped in. "Mr. Lynch, they bumped into me! Not only did they refuse to compensate or apologize, but they even attacked us!"

Janet countered, "How dare you twist the truth like that! You were the ones who ran into us! You even stepped on Ms. Landon's brand-new shoes!"

Nathan glanced down at the heels on Michelle's feet. "Are they alright?"

Michelle immediately used the hem of her long dress to hide them. She lowered her voice apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch. They did bump into me, but we were wrong to throw the first punch. I'm willing to compensate."

Janet tugged at her arm in disbelief. "Ms. Landon, don't pay them!"

"Shush," Michelle said quietly.

She then turned to Nathan. "Mr. Lynch, I didn't know these two ladies were associated with you. My apologies."

Nathan furrowed his brows immediately. "My people?"

Wendy jumped in at once. "Of course Irene is one of yours! She was holding your VIP token, and these people still dared to bully her. Their disrespect of Irene is the same as disrespecting you!"

Irene looked slightly uneasy. After all, Nathan had never acknowledged her. "Mr. Lynch, whatever it is, they were wrong to hit us."

Nathan stared at Michelle. "You intend to compensate them?"

Michelle couldn't read his thoughts. He had always been inscrutable, after all. However, she could clearly feel his anger radiating off him.

Was he angry because Janet had hit his woman?

Michelle met his eyes cautiously. "Then what do you want, Mr. Lynch? If you want me to apologize to her, I can do that."

"Ms. Landon!" Janet exclaimed.

Wendy chimed in eagerly. "Yes! She must apologize!"

Nathan dragged Michelle to a quiet spot by the windows. There was no one else around.

Michelle tried to pull her arm free. "Mr. Lynch, please release me."

"Alright, it's just us now. Don't you think calling me 'Mr. Lynch' sounds a little too distant?"

Michelle fell silent. Was he in a bad mood or something?

She looked up at him and asked, "Nathan… are you angry?"

He stared down at her. "What do you think?"

She lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry."

Michelle replied, "I really didn't know Irene was your woman. I'm sorry for hitting your woman."
