Chapter 13 Nyasia rushed over to Edmund , grabbed his arm , and started to cry . " Ed , you promised to let me take over the project , right ? If I don't have anything to show for it , I'll look bad when we work with the Drayton family ! " She had already changed into a new set of outfits . It was from a luxury brand's latest collection , fitting her perfectly . Apparently , Edmund had kept spare clothes for her in the lounge of his office . " Ed ? " Not getting Edmund's reply , Nyasia looked up at him , her doe - like eyes brimming with tears . But he still remained silent , hesitating . Frankie had made himself clear - Nyasia's performance was very unsatisfying . Besides , Kaneeta insisted on excluding Nyasia … Having Nyasia take part in the project , obviously , wasn't a wise choice . Chapter 13 He had wanted to use the project as a career highlight for Nyasia . But on second thought , she was already close with the Drayton family . Maybe she didn't need this project at all . " Come on , Nya . You may step out for now , " he coaxed Nyasia gently . M Nyasia was deeply reluctant . However , she didn't want to give Kaneeta the satisfaction of watching her lose composure , so she could only swallow her resentment for now . After glancing at Kaneeta bitterly , she walked out of the office . After she was gone , Edmund smiled at Kaneeta gently . " Alright , Neeta . Don't be upset anymore . Whatever you say , alright ? " His voice was as gentle and affectionate as always . " You're my wife . Of course , I won't do anything to upset you . " Kaneeta sneered deep down . The marriage was never real . How shameless he was , addressing her as his wife . Besides , he only caved because it aligned with his interests . She said , " If you don't have anything else , I'm heading out ." " "Come on , Neeta . Don't be upset with me anymore . " He grasped her wrist . " After the project is completed , I'll take you to Chapter 13 Oakenburn to see the northern lights . How about that ? " See the northern lights in Oakenburn … ་ ་ ང་ ག་ They had promised to spend their honeymoon in Oakenburn . She had been looking forward to going there for three years . Her heart couldn't help but race a little as he brought it up . But soon , she regained calmness . There was nothing left to look forward to . She no longer wanted to go to Oakenburn . Nor did she want the man who had promised to go there with her . Though Edmund noticed her silence , he still smiled confidently . He was so certain that her heart would soften as long as he mentioned Oakenburn . 44 Because he knew it had been her dream for three years . He had wanted to take her there , but there had been a lot going on in the company these days . Besides , Nyasia was back . He planned on taking her there once he wasn't that busy Chapter 13 anymore . Surely , all her grudges would melt away . Kaneeta nodded perfunctorily and then turned to leave . Oblivious to her attitude , he said while looking at her back , " I'm gonna treat the clients to dinner tonight to make it up for today's unpleasant meeting . Neeta , come with me ." *** In the evening , Kaneeta and Edmund arrived at the restaurant together . They happened to see the clients right after they got out of the car . The clients beamed when they saw Kaneeta , as if their earlier displeasure hadn't existed at all . " Hello , Mr. Carter. " Edmund shook hands with Frankie . " Mr. Kuntz , it's so nice of you to treat us to dinner , " Frankie smiled . " It's the least I could do ," Edmund smiled , too . " I've booked a private room for us already . This way , Mr. Carter ." " Sure … Hey , isn't that Alan ? Alan , are you here to eat as well ? " Chapter Frankie waved at Alan Harrison , a middle - aged man who had just gotten out of a car nearby . Kaneeta glanced over , only to see Alan open the rear door and make a courteous gesture , inviting the passenger out . It was Woodrow .
