"Sure, Ms. Miller, you can cseeanytime!!" He said it again, his gaze burning into Carol's.
"Aren't you worried about what Felix will do if he finds out?" "Ms. Miller." The determination in Nathan's eyes was unwavering, as if he was ready to risk it all for a moment of passion.
"You want the truth? If I have a shot with you, I couldn't care less what Felix thinks." Carol didn't reply. Instead, a slow smile spread across her lips.
Felix would never have guessed that his buddy would go head over heels for a woman like this, especially for one he never really appreciated. The irony made her want to laugh.

Carol's hair was so soft, so beautiful. From head to toe, she was stunning. No wonder Felix couldn't stop thinking about her after just one night.
Nathan used to be slightly envious of Felix, but ever since Carol caround, that envy grew wild, like untamed weeds.
He wasn't a fool. He knew exactly why Carol was here. But he just wanted to watch himself fall, clear-eyed into the abyss.
Back when he worked at Silverstone Enterprises, he'd caught a glimpse of Carol just once. She was standing beside Maja, her gaze bright, her presence radiant.
Like a burst of sunlight, she scorched his vision, and he knew she was out of his league. He couldn't even muster the courage to meet her gaze and had looked away in embarrassment.
Once, even earlier, he'd seen her, but he instinctively wanted to forget that encounter.
It was too humiliating. Back then, his boss was always giving him a hard time, keen to belittle him in public, mocking his education. Drunk to the point of collapse, he'd found himself sprawled out on the curb while his boss and colleagues ridiculed him from the steps above, proclaiming he'd never belong in a place like that.
It was BlueSky Bar, a renowned hotspot in Greenfield.
Only by the grace of a major client had he, his boss and the rest been allowed to glimpse that world. Never had he thought they'd ply him with drink. Amidst the mockery, he heard a lazy female voice.

Carol didn't even bother to look at Nathan. She simply intervened slightly, not feeling compelled to play the hero.
She passed by him with Yolanda, but then, as an afterthought, she asked Yolanda, "Do you have any hangover relief in your bag? Toss him one." "Yeah, you're treating him like a stray dog on the street." "Yolanda, not in front of him, please. He's not dead drunk.' "Alright, alright, my bad. I'll give him one; I took it withtonight." Yolanda tossed shis way, and linked Carol's arm, “See, I gave him. Let's go inside. Tonight, I'm really going to drink them under the table, and you have to backup!" Their voices faded into the distance.

Chapter 1810 2 Nathan resigned himself to his fate; he was willing to be played by Carol.
