Hearing this, Nina smiled. “I’m here to get you, aren’t I? Let’s go home now.”
She and one of Nathan’s friends tried to help him up.
Nathan cooperated at first.
Then his bleary eyes opened slightly, and he instantly shoved her hand away. “Why is it you?! Where’s Hannah? I want Hannah.”
Nina froze in embarrassment.

{“Misunderstand?”
Nina laughed. “Nathan, who was it that nearly crossed the line with me on every business trip?”
At this, everyone in the room froze.
The conversation had taken an uncomfortably intimate turn.
Nathan’s friends stood awkwardly, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Nathan hadn’t expected her to be so crude, spewing words without filter.
