Day Forty-Seven…

~~*****~~

[ Syphiruz Medical Facility… ]

Nathan didn't show up to the company. He was so determined to avoid his father. He was still mad at Old Man Xu because the old man didn't hesitate to hire someone and target Monica.

He heard the news that his father collapsed. But he found out nothing bad happened to him. He was just pretending to be sick so that Nathan would pity him. Nathan was hiding Ethan from him. He wanted to see his grandson.

Ignoring his father's drama and avoiding him, Nathan just visited the Medical Facility to get the result of the examination of medicine. He asked his team to find out the content and composition of the medicine the private nurse was feeding Old Master Yan. His health condition was worsening, instead of getting better.

As he was on the way to the laboratory, Nathan bumped into Veronica in the hallway. Dr. Veronica had been waiting for him. She learned that Nathan gave orders to the team. She was away when Nathan dropped by the facility yesterday.

"Nate, can we talk?" Veronica blocked his way. She wouldn't allow him to avoid her.

Nathan glanced at his wristwatch and said, "Five minutes. I can only give you five minutes. I am in a hurry."

Veronica clenched her fists. She couldn't understand why Nathan was so cold toward her. She was Monica's sister. He should treat her well.

"Okay. Your five minutes are enough… Can we talk in my office?" Dr. Veronica looked around. She didn't want other staff to hear their conversation.

Nathan followed her as they headed to Veronica's office. Nathan just stood there, waiting for her to speak up about what was on her mind.

"Nate. As Monica's sister, I just want to ask you… Have you moved on already? Have you completely forgotten my sister? Do you really love someone else?" Veronica confronted Nathan about his feelings for her late sister, Monica.

Nathan was not able to respond right away. Besides, he wasn't obligated to give her an answer. Furthermore, he didn't feel the need to explain himself to Veronica even though she was Monica's sister.

"Nate, please answer me. I can't understand what you have seen at Abigail. She will just become your weakness. Does she know that you are the leader of a mafia? Will she accept you?" Veronica was so persistent.

"She knows." Nathan nonchalantly said, making Veronica speechless. She had never expected that Abigail already knew Nathan's connection to the Syphiruz Mafia.

'Are they really serious with their relationship?' Veronica asked herself, feeling disheartened.

She felt like Nathan was getting stolen from her once more. 'Damn it! I can't let this happen. I must eliminate that woman. Nathan is mine. He is mine alone.'

"Veronica. I don't have time for this. This is my personal life. You don't have the right to question my decision." Nathan expressed his annoyance with the way Veronica was confronting him.

"But since we are already here. Let me ask you a question as well. This is about your sister." Nathan's expression turned serious.

"Do you know any guy who was close to Monica before?"

Veronica was taken aback when she heard that question. 'What's wrong? Is he doubting my sister's loyalty? Is this the reason why he already moved on? Don't tell me… that actress is poisoning Nathan's mind and throwing shade at my sister.'

"Of course not. I don't know anyone who was close to my sister aside from you. Why are you asking me this, Nate? Are you doubting her? Don't tell me Abigail is making up a story for you to doubt my sister?" Veronica was not able to control her temper. She jumped to a conclusion right away, blaming Abigail.

"Abigail has nothing to do with this," Nathan coldly said while defending Abigail. "Never mind. Just forget about this."

Nathan turned around to leave but Veronica stepped forward, grabbing him from behind. She hugged Nathan tightly.

"Nate! I love you! Why can't you choose me this time? I have loved you for several years now. I only stepped back because of my sister." Veronica finally confessed her feelings for Nathan.

But Nathan didn't feel anything for her. He was displeased by Veronica's action. Nathan immediately removed her hands that were wrapped around his body. He pushed her away and turned around to face her.

"I don't have feelings for you, Veronica. For me, you are just a comrade… and Monica's sister. So stop having this crazy idea." Nathan sounded annoyed and angry.

Meanwhile, Nathan's words were like arrows hitting her heart. Why? Why couldn't she win his heart? She dedicated all her time to supporting and helping Nathan. She did so much for this organization.

"Nate… why can't you give me a chance? I can love you as much as Monica did! I can do everything for you!" Veronica tried to reach out and hold his face but Nathan stepped back, avoiding her touch.

Veronica felt so desperate. She removed her coat as she wanted to strip in front of Nathan. She didn't believe that Nathan wouldn't feel anything. He was still a man with carnal needs. Now, Veronica resorted to seduction.

"Veronica. Get your act together. Don't humiliate yourself further!" Nathan warned her.

However, his words just fell on deaf ears. Veronica didn't want to stop. She wanted to have him. She couldn't let Abigail defeat her. She would prove that she could seduce Nathan using her body. 'I'm beautiful. Men are drooling over me. Nathan will not be an exception!'

At first, Nathan was not affected at all. However, when Veronica started to take her clothes one by one and she moved closer to him, Nathan smelled her perfume. For some unknown reason, her scent began to affect his body.

Little did he know, Veronica made a perfume with an aphrodisiac effect. It was so strong that even she herself was being affected. She was aroused and horny. She wanted to be touched by Nathan. She cornered him today and she wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Veronica smiled triumphantly when she noticed Nathan's expression. He was clenching his fists tightly as he tried to control his desire. Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead and his breathing became erratic. She could see the burning lust in his eyes.

Nathan wanted to leave, but his feet were frozen in his spot. His body was no longer listening to his mind. Veronica was inching closer and closer to him. She already removed her upper clothes, only wearing her bra.

"Don't fight it, Nate. I know you want me. Come. Touch me. I'm all yours. I will show you how much I love you."

Nathan slammed his eyes shut, gritting his teeth. He was trying to control himself. But his body felt so hot. Whether he liked it or not, his body became so aroused. Seeing a naked woman in front of him was making him so weak. His resolve was wavering.

'Damn it!'

Before he knew it, Nathan felt Veronica's hands grabbing his as she guided his hands to her bare breasts.

However, before he could touch her soft round breast, the door of Veronica's office was pushed open, interrupting the two.

"Stay away from my man, Bitch!" Abigail's angry voice resounded inside the office.
