Chapter 177 - Displeased (2/2)

”Hi, Mr. Leshan. I am Katherine,” she said as she introduced herself.

”Hello, Missy. Sit down. Do you mind If I sit here for a few minutes and catch up with my son?” he asked politely.

[Aww… Mr. Leshan is too cute.] her shined with stars as she looked at him. She knew Mr. Leshan has many achievements and ranks. He was one of the people from her role models list. She bobbed her head at him as she stared at him like a kid watching her favorite cartoon.

Gustav was shocked at her reaction. Dammit! Her attention was supposed to be on him. He shouldn't have called his father to introduce them to her. But… he thought bringing here would make their meet more natural but now it felt like… he was being a third wheel. Mr. Leshan raised his brows at his son's reaction.

”You look young. What's your rank, young lady?” Mr. Leshan asked.

”I am just a criminal apprentice. Hopefully, I will do good and become a part of the current station I am working at,” she said with a smile.

Cedric got a message on his other phone from Edward. It said that he sent someone with an antidote for the drug. He sent an okay message. Soon, he got a call from his assistant. He said he got to attend 'urgent' business right away. Cedric informed me that he would start right away to his company.

He went to the men's room and did his business. After finishing his business, he continued to wash his hands. Along with there was a man, who came right after him and continued to wash his hands.

”Sir, you dropped this,” the man said as he handed him a pen. Cedric opened the cap and saw that there was a drug powder inside it instead of the nib or refill.

”Thank you, Gentlemen,” he said and left.

When he was about to reach their table, he saw Nathaira was chatting with the woman in the yellow dress. A smile formed on his lips. The fish took the bait. Now… without him everything would go in the way they dreaded. But they need to have patience.

”Nathaira,” he called out, reaching the table.

Nathaira pushed an orange glass to him. Even though she knew he was waiting to have sex with her, she just want to make things sure.

So, she mixed the drugs in his glass readily before he came.

”I am sorry. I have to leave. I planned to spend this night with you but there is an urgent call from the office that needs my attention,” he said apologetically.

Nathaira was beyond displeased. How could she not?

”But…” she wanted to say something.

”Shall I drop you off? Or call a cab?” he asked.

”I will go with Miss. Addison,” she said. She tried her best to control her anger.

Cedric picked her glass and drank her juice. ”A little compensation,” he said with a wink to her.

”Tomorrow would be yours,” he said and ran off like he was really in a hurry.. Nathaira trusted that he was really busy.
