Nigel stared at Fiona, holding her chin. "20 years apart? That almost sounds like you're complaining. Like you've
been lonely all this time. Guess I'll have to make it up for you tonight."
Fiona remained silent.
She raised her hand and slapped his hand away. "Why don't you go find your first love instead? Have you two
been sleeping on my bed when | was away these years?"
Nigel's expression turned grim as he responded, "How many times do | have to say it? Nothing ever happened
between Anne and me!"
Fiona arched her brow. "Oh, really? You expectto believe that? You never slept with her in over 20 years?"
Nigel paused for a moment before saying, "Don't project your filthy thoughts onto me!"
So, he really hadn't slept with Anne?
Fiona's curiosity was piqued. "So what then? Have you been fooling around with secretaries, or maybe keeping a
college girl as your side chick?"
"Fiona!"
Fiona responded, "Why so worked up? Did | hit a nerve? Don't tellyou've been celibate all these years. I'd
never believe it."
His gaze fell to her lips, which was slightly parted as she spoke.
Then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed her.
Fiona's eyes widened. She shoved at his chest, but Nigel seized both her wrists and pinned them against the wall
as he kissed her intensely, forcing her lips apart and taking what he wanted.
Fiona blushed. They weren't young anymore, yet he still kissed her like this, as if nothing had changed.

"Letgo!" she snapped.
She bit down hard on his lip.
Nigel flinched, sucking in a sharp breath at the sting.
After wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he saw the smear of blood on his fingers.
Nigel was about to speak when a voice interrupted him.
"Nigel," Anne called out.
As Fiona looked up, she saw Anne approaching them. Inmediately, she shoved Nigel away, forcing him to take a
step back.
Anne walked over and saw the cut on Nigel's lip. She quickly asked with concern, "Nigel, why are you bleeding?"
As she spoke, she turned to Fiona and said softly, "Ms. Jakeman, it's wonderful to have you back, but you've
misunderstood everything aboutand Nigel.
"We're just close friends, and he keptaround all these years out of kindness. If my presence is causing
trouble between you two, | can leave right now and never see him again."
Fiona looked at Anne coldly. Anne was as calculating as ever, playing the victim while stirring up .
Fiona had fallen for her tricks before.
"No need, Anne. Whatever relationship you have with Nigel, | couldn't care less. If you want him, just take him. |
don't want him anymore."
Nigel's expression turned grim. "Fiona!"
Fiona stepped closer to Anne,
lowering her voice with a taunting,
smile. "I've been-gphe €or dver20

For a moment, Anne's gentle facade nearly cracked.
Fiona wasn't done. "Keep trying,

Anne's expression changed instantly. Clenching her fists, she shouted, "Fiona!"
Fiona glanced at Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, bye."
With that, she left.

Nigel didn't respond. He was so angry when he watched Fiona swaying her hips
as she left.
