When Lorraine Hughes opened the door, Ivy Cooper was still complaining.
"I have to say, Belle, your place is way too far. The cab only dropped me at the main gate, and I had to walk for a whole twenty minutes… Ah…" Then she saw Nathan Bolton behind Lorraine Hughes, and got a fright.
She had forgotten that Belle was married.
And her husband was Thomas Lucas's boss and brother!
Wasn't she walking right into the lion's den?
Ivy Cooper's face went through a rainbow of colors, wanting to escape but too scared to do so.
Lorraine Hughes introduced, "My husband, you've met him before."
"Uh… hello, Belle's husband." Should I make a run for it?
Nathan Bolton nodded.
"Come on in." Lorraine Hughes welcomed her inside.
Nathan Bolton personally poured Ivy Cooper a glass of water, and as soon as she sat down, she stood up immediately, respectfully taking the glass with both hands, bowing sincerely, "Thank you, Belle's husband."
Lorraine Hughes: "..."
Nathan Bolton: "..."
