Anne Sutton was completely drunk, and hugging Nathan Fawcett felt so incredibly real.
She wrapped her arms around Nathan Fawcett and shoved Vera Wells aside. "Leave me alone."
Watching this, Vera Wells cringed with second-hand embarrassment. "You've really got the wrong person! I'm so sorry, Mr. Linden. Please, forgive her."
Vera Wells was on the verge of tears. Anne Sutton was drunk and oblivious, but Vera, with so many people staring, just wished she could dig a hole and pull Anne in with her.
Nathan Fawcett looked at the woman clinging to him, refusing to let go, and said with a meaningful tone, "It's no trouble. Since your friend is drunk, allow me to help you take her home."
Vera Wells was taken aback by his words. "Uh…"
She'd only been working in Veridia for a month, but she knew the new Head of the Linden Family's reputation. Everyone said he had a foul temper and that anyone who crossed him met a terrible end.
'I never expected…'
