Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2079

Lucinda couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “You are quite shameless.

”

With that, she quickly walked into his office, choosing not to linger in the corridor to flirt.

Nathan scanned the corridor and then followed her into the office.

It was now eight o’clock in the evening.

He had set a deadline for Mylo and to come clean by ten, Leaving just two hours to go.

Nathan found himself frequently checking his watch.

The minutes crawled by agonizingly slow.

Meanwhile, Lucinda settled comfortably on the couch and played with her phone while keeping him company.

After some minutes, a soft knock interrupted the quiet.

It was an officer.

“Sir, Kern is here again.

Would you like to see him?” the officer inquired.

Nathan’s face turned dark and cold.

Lucinda set aside her phone and turned around to look at Nathan behind his desk.

After a brief silence, Nathan responded in a calm tone, “Bring him in.

”

“Okay.

”

Once the officer’s footsteps faded, Nathan rose swiftly, leaned close to Lucinda, and murmured something into her ear.

By the time Kern was escorted into Nathan’s office by the officer, only Lucinda was present.

The officer looked around, puzzled, and began, “Where is Mr.

Payne.

.

Lucinda cut him off with a firm voice, “You may leave.

I’ll speak with Kern.

”

With a respectful nod, the officer agreed, “Okay.

”

He then exited and closed the door behind him.

Noticing only Lucinda, Kern offered a gentle smile and inquired, “Why is it only you here, Ms.

Payne? Where is Mr.

Payne?”

Lucinda sat elegantly with a smile.

“He had to attend to something urgent.

I believe he’s in the detention room.

”

Kern seemed taken aback for a moment.

Then a realization hit him and he turned to leave.

Lucinda called out to stop him.

“You didn’t seem surprised to see me here.

You didn’t even ask why I was present.

Did you know I would be here?”
