The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 293

Frey locked her car, grabbed her bag, and headed toward the elevator. Just a few steps in, she heard faint footsteps behind her.

Her heart leaped into her throat. Calmly, she pulled out a bottle of pepper spray from her bag.

She hadn’t carried this before, but recent events had made her more cautious and prepared.

Peyton had gifted her a whole box of these sprays. Frey was both amused and grateful for this thoughtful gesture.

Tightening her grip on the spray, Frey reached the corner and instead of continuing forward, she hid behind the cement pillar.

The footsteps grew louder. She waited until they were close, then sprang out and sprayed in the direction of the sound without looking.

The man yelped and covered his eyes. Frey was taken aback when she realized who it was.

“Nathaniel?”

Nathaniel had been eager to speak with Frey. After being discharged from the hospital today, he initially considered visiting her at Andala Corp but felt it would be inappropriate if he went there because of a private matter.

So, he decided to wait at her apartment. After three hours in the underground parking lot, he felt a mix of discomfort and regret. He had driven Frey away, and now he was uncomfortable asking her to return. Adding to his anxiety was Jacob's death, which further strained their relationship.

Despite this, Nathaniel was determined to make amends. He had risked his life to save her and hoped he might still have a chance to talk things over.

As he waited, he felt unusually humbled by the situation. He had never been so humble before a woman. After scrolling through his phone and playing a game to pass the time, he finally saw Frey’s car and rushed to catch up.

However, his relief turned to pain when Frey accidentally sprayed him. His eyes burned intensely, and he could barely keep them open. Frey was startled and quickly went to his aid.
