Chapter 37 Promise me, please

• Hearing Nathan's voice, Jane quickly loosed her grip on Mercedes's hair, running to Nathan for shelter but he moved before she reached him. Disappointment clouded her but replaced it with a smile. She couldn't let Mercedes win. "This good for nothing bitch would not allow me to wait for you in your office," she complained.
• Nathan frowned, as crisps of anger meandered through him, he said with gritted teeth, "her name is Mercedes. I won't have you address my staff in that manner." Then he turned to Mercedes. His heart sunk at her dishevelled form and red marks on her cheeks. He hated for anyone to harm her but he couldn't show emotions at the moment and quickly said, my apologies, Miss Winters,"
• Mercedes had so much to ask but she had to be patient. After all, she was the one who ended it. "It's fine, Mr Legend," she excused herself and went to the washroom to put herself together.
