Nathan gently held Nathalie's delicate hand. His eyes were misty with concern. "Nathalie, you're such a good person. Why do you focus on people who don't deserve you?"
Seeing the hope shining brightly in Nathan's eyes, Nathalie couldn't bear to disappoint him. She gave a reassuring smile and said, "Alright, I'll give it my best shot. I'll try to forget him and start fresh. How does that sound?"
Nathan's eyes lit up with encouragement. "Nathalie, I know you've got this."
Just then, a ruckus echoed from the hallway, causing Nathalie and Nathan to share a worried glance. Nathalie spoke softly, "Nathan, the Dawson family isn't going to let this slide. You don't need to get involved."
Nathan's expression turned serious. "Cameron locked you up and even tried to get the maid to hurt you. What he did is unforgivable. How dare the Dawson family think they can come after us?"
Nathalie felt a pang of guilt.
Cameron did kidnap her, but he didn't mistreat or harm her. However, she had indeed destroyed his family's prized paintings and falsely accused him.
In terms of the seriousness of the crimes, hers might actually be worse.
She was walking a fine line and couldn’t risk dragging Nathan into it. She couldn't let him take the fall.
"Nathan," Nathalie pleaded, "Pulse Technologies is at a critical point and about to go public. I need you to be at the top, to be my rock. You can't lose focus now. Sometimes, you have to just let things slide."
Nathan was taken aback for a moment. Her words, "Be my rock," sparked a strong resolve within him. "Okay, I'll be your rock. I'll make sure you can walk tall in the Capital."
"Really?" Nathalie's face lit up with joy.
