Chapter 55 – Blind Date

Mercedes

“Nat, what are you doing here!” Mercedes asked, surprised, as Nathan strolled into her office and approached her desk. They arrived at the company together and since there was not a problem demanding both their attention, Mercedes did not expect to see him before lunch.

For as long as they were in the company together, they had hunch together. Despite all the stress they had endured together, they still turned heads as the most attractive couple wherever they went.

“Do I need permission to come see my wife?” Nathan asked possessively, as he enveloped her in his arms and planted a kiss on her lips. Moving behind her, he brushed strands of hair to the side of her shoulder.

Mercedes’s body always reacted quickly to him, but this time, she felt something cold on her neck as Nathan whispered in her ear. “You forgot to wear a necklace, so I had one delivered to you”

Mercedes blushed. Nathan made her feel as if they had just fallen in love. He never stopped taking things about her seriously, noticing even the smallest details that Mercedes wouldn’t have noticed herself.

She was eager to check the necklace he had bought for her, but he wouldn’t let go of her hand. Turning her to face him, he admired his choice of a ruby necklace that matched her outfit perfectly.

Thank you, she said with excitement, as Nathan’s lips swallowed hers again. When he pulled away, his expression turned serious. “What has been bothering you? Let it out”

Nathan made sure to do whatever it took to make his wife happy, always ensuring to see a smile on her face, including never allowing stress her out. Their parents and nannies were all there to help.

Mercedes’s face fell. She never thought that after pretending and keeping it all in, he will still be able to sense something was wrong. Nathan never stopped giving her chills.

“It’s Oliver,” she confessed, and Nathan frowned a little. The last time he had checked on Oliver a few days ago, he was perfectly fine.

“What about him?

“But he isn’t married, which means breakups could occur, Nathan shrugged. Oliver chose the most important things in life, and that had been of great help to him, but Mercedes was confused.

“Nat, what are y

you saying?”

“Merce, when you meet a woman who blows your mind, why waste time when you have the resources to marry her? The only reason we didn’t get married earlier was because of Jane, but in Andrew’s case, there are no hindrances Nathan pointed out.

He never believed in long relationships. Dating someone was never an assurance of marriage. Until Andrew got married, Nathan would never see his relationship as perfect

“Are you saying his relationship is going to face a breakup?” Mercedes couldn’t believe the man she called her husband. His ways Just so strange. Nathan let out a frustrated sigh,

Since the matter didn’t directly involve his wife, he was more relaxed Tim only saying to wait and see.”

Su, Oliver should remain like the past you? Mercedes glared questionably at him, Nathan was lost for words, but since he never liked her to worry about anything or carry any burdens, he softly said, “If it worries you so much, then I will do something about it.”

Mercedes behoved he could do many things, but this was a different matter. Nathan never liked to meddle in people’s relationships. how you plan to lundle it”

11:35 AM 19

Nathan didn’t have a plan but instantly thought of one in a bid to impress his wife. “We met at the club, right?”

Mercedes knew where he was going with this and reminded him, “Oliver has already been to the club many times.”

“I think we can set him up with a woman. Who knows?” He shrugged. Mercedes was so desperate to see her brother settle down that she didn’t object but said. “What if the woman is bad? Oliver doesn’t have a problem with women. He just doesn’t think they are right for him.”

“Then let’s set him up on a blind date, Nathan said thoughtfully. Mercedes doubted that Oliver would agree to the arrangement,

“Let me handle it, and I don’t want you worrying about it, do you understand!” Nathan cut in and asked seriously. Mercedes relented, putting her trust in him once again.

The kids are already enough to worry about Oliver is not a kid. I will take care of it, but promise me that after one meeting, it will be solely up to him to decide.” Nathan pleaded. Mercedes smiled and leaned in for a kiss. When she pulled away, she said, “I trust you.”

Nathan smiled but didn’t say anything more. Her trust in him gave him renewed hope. When he returned to his office, he called Oliver on the phone.

“Nathan” Oliver admonished from the other end of the line.

“Oliver Can you make it here on Friday night? I have a surprise for you

“Things are a bat hectic bere, and getting there is almost an 8–hour flight. Please let me understand the urgency, and I will know whether to take an early leave.

Oliver wouldn’t say no but wanted the details of the arrangement. Nathan, being the direct person he was, couldn’t hide it anymore.

“Tve prepared a blind date for you.”

Oliver’s shocked voice rang from the other end of the line. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
