President's Contract Wife novel Chapter 12

Everybody in the restaurant looks this way.

“That is enough!” A deep male voice snaps back Sulia's chatter.

Sulia's watery eyes suddenly become desperate. Something like this had happened before, but Lucien had never stopped her. She is Lucien's favorite of many lovers. But today he did that just for a poor waitress!

“Lucien, you...” Sulia does not give up. She tightens Lucien Gray's arm.

Lucien looks at Nina with black eyes and shows an inscrutable smile. Nina feels uncomfortable and wants to get out of here as soon as possible. The man is too dangerous and the air around him is too oppressive--even with a smile on his face, the atmosphere is cold.

But Lucien Gray blocks her just in the way.

“President Gray, excuse me please. I am going to do my job.” Nina pulls out a professional smile and says politely. But there is no humility in her eyes.

Suddenly, her jaw is seized by Lucien Gray's big hand! Shit, this is happening again! The pain feels so familiar. On that rainy night he squeezed her jaw so mercilessly that her jaw had been bruised for days!

Nina takes a cold breath because of pain. She is furious. Should the poor be bullied? Why should she be insulted and abused for no reason?

She stares with a pair of large clear eyes coldly at Lucien's.

“Let go!” The voice is calm and unemotional.
