Nathan said, "Ninety-one percent. How does that sound?"
He heard the sound of Cameron crushing a plastic cup on the other end.
"Mr. Morris is enjoying his steak. Maybe he could spare us a sip of the soup?"
Nathan replied, "If Mr. Dawson doesn't agree, we should just go ahead with the acquisition plan."
With that, Nathan decisively ended the call. Cameron was left in a daze, feeling that Mr. Morris's voice was oddly familiar.
The next morning, Nathan woke up without an alarm. When he got up, he noticed Nathalie had already ditched her simple, farm-girl attire. She'd slipped into a fresh and elegant emerald green dress. Her curly hair fell casually around her shoulders, adorned with a flower pin, and her bangs were stylishly trimmed. She looked pure, beautiful, and gracefully poised.
"Why are you all dressed up today?" Nathan asked, walking over, unable to take his eyes off her.
Nathalie flashed him a charming smile. "Now that I'm back in the city, it's time to kickstart my career again."
Nathan said, "Sis, you’re not in the best health. You don’t have to push yourself so hard. I can take care of you forever."
Nathalie glanced back at him. "Take care of me? That's expensive. I doubt you could afford it."
Nathan chuckled. "Then I'll just work harder and earn more for you."
Nathalie tugged on his tie, saying, "I want lots of money, and even more love."
Without warning, Nathan pulled her into his arms with a confident swagger. "That's perfect. I've got a lifetime's worth of love and money saved up, just waiting for a place to spend it. So, do you want it?"
Blushing and feeling her heart race, Nathalie pushed him away and dashed off. "I... I have a meeting with friends. I should get going."
Watching her rosy cheeks, Nathan grinned smugly. "Is your skin really that thin?"
Nathan caught up to her. "Nathalie, let me drive you."
