Whatever trouble Nathan had gotten into, whatever state he was in when he came looking for her had nothing to do with her.

Sensing the cold rejection in her tone, the employee let out an awkward laugh. It was obvious the wo knew each other, yet Elena showed no sympathy even after hearing he was het

“I see. I won’t bother you further. Goodbye, Ms. Sterling.

Elena ended the call first. She headed to the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into a formal business outfit and flat shoes, touching up her makeup lightly.

Right after she finished getting ready, Lucas knocked on the door.

“Ms. Sterling, Innovatech’s car is waiting downstairs.”

“Let’s go.

She walked toward the elevator lobby first. Their schedule for the morning included a tour of Innovatech offices and discussions over project details.

Elena and Lucas arrived at the company. Their host was a local man of Westorian descent named Jason Howard.

The meeting went smoothly. Jason stated his company’s stance: they hoped to continue this partnership, and would offer discounted rates for future cooperation as a long–term client.

Elena raised an eyebrow in surprise. Lucas looked overjoyed, waiting for her response. She simply smiled politely. “We appreciate your trust. We can discuss future collaborations later on.”

Jason did not press the matter. “Very well, whatever you say.” He checked his watch. “It getting late. Would you join us for lunch?”

Refusing would come off as rude, so Elena agreed readily. She and Lucas followed Jason and his wife to a well–known local Westorian restaurant nearby.

Td like to introduce a friend to you later, Jason said suddenly. “He’s also from Westoria. His company in talks with us for a partnership, and I believe he could be useful to you.”

A bad feeling crept over Elena. She frowned and declined. “That won’t be necessary-

“Don’t turn him down right away. He’s eager to meet you.”

Elena fell silent. She did not wish to create an awkward atmosphere with Jason, and could only hope things

would not turn out as she feared.

“Mr. Hawthorne, what happened to your face?” Jason gasped in shock.

Elena and Lucas turned to look. The lights had been dim near the doorway, hiding Nathan’s injuries. Now they could see clearly: his forehead was wrapped in bandages, and the area around his right eye was badly swollen. His once handsome features looked battered and disheveled. She recalled what the hotel staff had told her about his injuries.

So it was all true.

She had assumed he had asked the staff to call her just to track her down or lure her back to the hotel. Still she only glanced at him briefly before looking away. She took a seat beside Linda.

Nathan’s gaze drifted casually toward Elena, then he smiled and answered Jason. “It’s nothing serious. The security here is quite poor, actually. I went out last night to grab some food for my wife and got robbed.
