Before Scarlett could say anything about the ended call, Nathan looked up and cut her off firmly. \u201cI\u2019ve already secured a new partnership. It\u2019s not with a major corporation, but it\u2019s solid enough to stabilize our foundation for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued in a calm tone, \u201cYou and Vincent are heading for a divorce. Yes, my company was in a tough spot, but I won\u2019t have you compromising yourself or making deals with Vincent out of desperation. I know perfectly well his offer wasn\u2019t made because my company is so exceptional.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett listened quietly, lowering her head without arguing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan didn\u2019t elaborate further, simply offering a faint smile. \u201cLet\u2019s just eat. Consider these past couple of days behind us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett looked up at him, still uneasy. \u201cWhich company did you partner with, Nathan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan took a bite of food before answering, \u201cAn aerospace company\u2013moderately sized. Theron Financial is secure for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo these past two days, you were finalizing this partnership?\u201d Scarlett pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet, who had been silent all this time, suddenly teared up at his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her cry, Nathan quickly handed her a tissue. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet shook her head, wiping her eyes. \u201cNothing. I just feel that marrying you was the best decision I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan wrapped an arm around her, soothing her gently. \u201cAnd being able to marry you is my greatest pride.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Theron family\u2019s crisis resolved, a weight finally lifted from Scarlett\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Felix\u2019s place, it was rare for the friends to be gathered together like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric had already gone to bed, so only Felix, Damian, and Zachary remained in the living room. A bottle of red wine and three glasses sat on the coffee table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary was on a call by the floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling window, while Damian lounged lazily on the sofa and Felix sat upright. Through the glass, they could see Zachary\u2019s reflection as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soon, he ended the call and walked back over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian sat up straighter. \u201cWell?\u201d he asked, sounding unusually tense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary frowned slightly but told the truth. \u201cIt\u2019s done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Damian relaxed, leaning back against the sofa with a long exhale. \u201cGood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truth be told, he\u2019d been more worried about Nathan\u2019s lack of partnerships than Nathan himself. If the Theron family was in trouble, Scarlett was in trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Damian so invested, Zachary couldn\u2019t help asking, \u201cWhy not help them directly? Helping anonymously like this\u2013the Therons won\u2019t see it, Scarlett won\u2019t see it. What\u2019s the point?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian closed his eyes, his tone detached. \u201cIf I showed my face, do you think Nathan would accept the deal?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary didn\u2019t answer that. Instead, he stated matter\u2013of\u2013factly, \u201cYou\u2019ve developed real feelings for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The word \u201cfeelings\u201d seemed to irritate Damian. He scoffed, \u201cGet lost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary pressed on, undeterred. \u201cIt\u2019s unrequited, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s eyes snapped open, shooting a cold glare at Zachary. \u201cNo one would mistake mute if you shut up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
for\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary continued, \u201cSince you can\u2019t have her, why not play dirty? Get her pregnant with your child first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian didn\u2019t respond, just kept glaring fiercely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Zachary finished his teasing, Felix spoke to Damian seriously, \u201cEric\u2019s fall field trip is next week. Are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian picked up his glass, the crimson liquid sliding down his throat. His Adam\u2019s apple bobbed twice before he set the glass down heavily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot a cold glance at Felix. \u201cStupid question.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he stood and left without another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary and Felix exchanged a look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary said, \u201cWhen Damian falls in love, it\u2019s us who suffer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Felix agreed, \u201cI feel that deeply.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary added, \u201cBut still, I hope he succeeds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next evening, as Scarlett finished work, Vincent was waiting for her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, he wasn\u2019t sitting in the car. He stood leaning against the hood in the open parking lot, smoking a cigarette.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett spotted him from afar and walked over, intending to get directly into the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Vincent pressed his hand against the back door. \u201cSit in the front.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett turned to look at him. Through the haze of smoke, even with the strong smell of tobacco, she could detect a hint of a woman\u2019s perfume on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, it was Sabrina\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett took a step back, waving the smoke away. \u201cStay away from me. You smell awful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
