The smile on Freja’s face froze. “Mr. Fuller, did you forget that we’re in the middle of discussing a business? I’m not your subordinate, so I have my own way of doing things. Why are you making it seem like I’m a middleman? If I want your goods, I would have to relinquish my men and locations?”
After a pause, her expression turned vicious. “Are you planning on taking control of my business, Mr. Fuller?”
Immediately afterward, the sound of guns being loaded penetrated the building. Clearly, Freja’s subordinates had aimed their guns at me. They were prepared to wipe us out anytime.
Ashton and Freja’s gaze met midair. I could almost feel the air crackling between them, charged with tension as it was. My hair stood on end.
I couldn’t help but gulp nervously before studying the situation behind me.
How many men are there behind us? Three? Or four? There’s a blind spot on the left. If they open fire, we should run to the right.
Right then, the old elevator started rumbling as it rolled up. Seconds later, the bodyguard pulled the door open and greeted the man inside. “Mr. Hall.”
Nathaniel then strode out of the elevator and came to us.
After coming to a stop beside the table, he took off his leather gloves slowly.
Freja’s eyes narrowed as she stared at him warily.
When everyone was wondering what Nathaniel would do next, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Freja’s head before slamming her on the table.
Once, twice, thrice…
Freja was disoriented from the sudden attack when Nathaniel whipped out a mini pistol from nowhere and placed it right next to her temple.
His eyes squinted dangerously, and his lips lifted into an icy smirk.
