How long could she hold her breath, though? She had already started to wonder whether he was genuinely asking her to work together, or if he just wanted to trouble her.
Just when she was falling into despair, the compartment door was thrown open with a loud crash, causing the three of them to look in the direction of the sound in surprise.
When she saw the man at the door, Kate suddenly felt strangely wronged and tears began to fall from her eyes uncontrollably. She couldn’t describe what she felt at that moment. There was embarrassment, relief, and gratefulness, but she clearly knew that they were very different from each other, and they would not cross paths at all. Why did it have to be him?
Did she not want to see him? That wasn’t it. Was she unhappy that he came to save her? Of course not. She just hated that she was not carefree and decisive enough to be able to forget about him once and for all, and to not feel her heart waver whenever she saw him. The conflict in her emotions made her crouch. down and sob bitterly. President Cook raised his eyebrows sharply. “Who are you?”
Nathan’s expression was dark, as though there were a stormy cloud hanging over his head, and a violent aura emanated off his body as he walked in without saying a word. When he passed the dining table, he picked up the chair on the ground and walked toward President Cook, who backed away in fright at the sight. “W-What are you trying to do?”
The bodyguard next to him hurriedly stepped forward, but before he could fight back, the chair in Nathan’s hand had fallen to whack the bodyguard directly on the head.
When he saw how ruthless Nathan was, Howard Cook was immediately frightened. These days, a man who acted with his fists without caring about the consequences was clearly someone whom he had to avoid. He ran hastily in terror toward the door along the other side of the table.
On the other hand, Nathan was much more decisive and reckless. Not to mention, he was also powerful. Without thinking twice, he picked up another chair and threw it toward Howard. The chair hit the ground with a crash, making a harsh noise. This time, however, Howard was prepared and managed to dodge the hit. Still, he was even more frightened and quickened his footsteps.
Right when Howard had reached the door, Nathan also rushed over at the same time. He stretched out with his hand and dragged Howard back from the door of the compartment in the same way that Howard had grabbed Kate. The door slammed loudly as Nathan shut it with his foot.
At this time, the bodyguard had already recovered from getting slammed by the chair. Seeing that Howard was restrained by Nathan, he swayed up to his feet and took a leaf out of Nathan’s book, throwing a chair at him as well. At the door, Gwen yelled in fright, “Nate, watch out!”
When Nathan subconsciously looked back and saw that the chair was about to hit him, he raised his hand to block it. As soon as he was about to fight back, he heard the sound of a bottle breaking. At the source of the noise, he saw that there was a woman holding a half- broken beer bottle, her face pale and her body trembling.
The bodyguard was instantly befuddled by the beer bottle that Kate had struck him with. The severe pain, accompanied by the beer trickling down his face, made him feel like he had been spinning around on the spot for hundreds of times. In less than three seconds, he was finally overwhelmed and fell to the ground. Right before he fainted, he even thought that these two people were cruel.
Ignoring Gwen, Nathan looked at Kate in shock. He didn’t expect that Kate would be able to be as ruthless as him and it seemed that she had done it in an attempt to save him. Strangely enough, his spirits lifted at that thought. At that moment, Gwen ran inside. “Nate, are you okay? Does your arm hurt?”
Saying that, she kicked the bodyguard who had already fallen unconscious on the ground and scolded, ‘How dare you! How dare you hit Nate!”
