Chapter 71: A Misunderstanding
Making a split-second decision, Nora entered the lobby of Frost Industries which stretched out before her, sleek and modern. This must be Lucien’s place of work, so he would naturally not jeopardize his job only for the sake of torturing her.
The security guard, who had allowed Nora to enter the premises on Lucien’s nod stepped back, keeping a wary eye on the woman. There was something wrong with the way she looked. As if she was escaping someone or a druggie looking for her next fix. She was sweating and panting while her eyes were not right. He needed to be careful and take into account everyone’s safety.
Lucien was at first shocked to see Nora at Frost Industries. And yet, within a moment, he felt happiness surge through him as he wondered if she had come to see him. But once again he realized that he had never mentioned his place of work. So...
As he stepped close to her, she stepped back and told him in a trembling voice, "Thank you for helping me enter. I am here to see my husband. Please excuse me."
Lucien could not hide the surprise as she almost ignored him and asked," You are married? But haven’t you recently broken up with your boyfriend?"
Lucien tried to step closer to her but again she took a few steps away from him. "Nora? Is something the matter? You look troubled..."
Just then her phone rang again and Nora almost threw it onto the ground. It was again that unknown number.
By now, many people had started to gather around the two people in the lobby as they wondered what was going on. It was rare for any of the Frost brothers to stand and chat in the company’s lobby. Of course, there would be curiosity.
Lucien looked at the gathering crowd and tried to reason," Nora, why don’t you come to my office. And whoever you are visiting can come to see you there."
