With his eyes closed, Nathan asked sharply, "Do you want to be investigated as well?"


    "I''m sorry, General Morrison," Cole apologized quickly. "I''m deeply loyal to the country and you. I don''t see the need for an investigation."Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Nathan had never considered investigating Cole. He usually trusted the people he surrounded himself and wouldn''t be involved with those he doubted. Unfortunately, his excessive trust had allowed Lucas to betray him and Fenna to deceive him brazenly.


    "Drive on," muttered Nathan.


    When M walked into the Morrison residence, she heard La sarcastically remark, "It''s unbelievable there''re still some women who can be so jealous nowadays.


    "They don''t support, understand, or help their husbands at work and can''t even handle having a female assistant."


    M turned around to see La sitting on the couch in the living room.


    Phoebe was seething and wanted to confront La, but M grabbed her hand just in time to stop her. Phoebe was merely an assistant. Her life wouldn''t be easy in this house if she upset La.


    M calmly approached La and said, "La, if you have something to say, just say it straight out. You don''t have to get sarcastic."


    La leaned back on the couch and replied arrogantly, "I wasn''t talking about you. Don''t take it personally."


    "It''s just us here. Are you talking to ghosts or something?"


    La dropped the act when she saw M''s firm stance. She stood up, crossed her arms, and said haughtily, "I just can''t stand people like you. You rely on Nate''s affection to mistreat his assistant. Are you satisfied now that Fenna has moved out and been suspended?"


    M nced at Phoebe, who looked just as confused. Phoebe shrugged, implying that she had no idea.


    Yet, M was quick to collect herself. She replied, "If you care about Fenna so much, why don''t you suggest she be Duke''s secretary?


    "She could take care of his needs around the clock. She could even cook for him and do all the housework. Fenna''s meticulous and she could meet Duke''s every need."


    La''s face turned sour and she was speechless for a moment. M realized that La couldn''t ept what Fenna had done either when she saw La''s defeated look.


    "La, you''re generous. You wouldn''t mind Duke having a capable and caring secretary, would you?"


    "I"


    M cut La off, "Oh right, there are a few advantages to having Fenna as Duke''s secretary. For example, if you need to talk to Duke urgently she''ll hang up on you or even turn off his phone, because she thinks your call will interfere with Duke''s work.


    "What a thoughtful secretary. You wouldn''t want to miss having her around."


    La struggled to find a way to defend Fenna as she imagined herself in M''s position. Suddenly, fin she found Fenna even more bitchy than she thought and understood why M wanted her gone However, La didn''t sympathize with M, as she had always been prejudiced against M.


    M''seback silenced La. Feeling angry, La sat back on the couch and sipped her coffee. Sheposed herself and refrained from saying more.


    When M saw that La had decided not to escte the situation, she headed upstairs she walked past Phoebe who was trying to hold back herughter. Phoebe gave her a thumbs up and whispered, "M, you''re amazing."


    M didn''t feel pleased and forced a bitter smile.


    Fenna and Nathan had been friends for over ten years and Nathan was someone who put rtionships first.


    M thought that Nathan wouldn''t be too hard on Fenna and that he m wouldn''t want to transfer her somewhere else.
