Chapter 40

• Nate’s POV
• I did my tie up carefully, making sure not to have a wrinkle in it, and I scrunch my nose up a little and scoffed a little as I realized that I had been doing it with a little too much ficus that was necessary. I turned around and reached for my wrist watch on the bed and clicked it on my left wrist after a few seconds. My hair was almost completely dried off and it had managed to dry up in a really good way. I was taking extra care to get ready tonight when I really shouldn’t, because for one, I wasn’t going to the damn dinner because I wanted to, but because I’m being forced and blackmailed into going, or risk losing my inheritance in an instant. I reached down for my suit jacket, putting it on and inserting my arms into both holes almost immediately.
• Once I was done dressing up, I stood before the floor length mirror in here and took a good look at myself, the suit fitted my body well and made it seem like my shoulders were even more broader than it is on a normal day. I turned away from the mirror and reached for my bottle of perfume, spritzing some in the air and walking into the whole thing as it all settled all over me at once. I also spritz some behind my ears and my wrists before placing it back on the dressing table in my bedroom. I picked up my purse and inserted it into my suit jacket, and after thst, I leaned downwards and pulled out the second drawer where a new crisp handkerchief sat in a really big pile. I pulled out one and pushed the drawer close, and then I proceeded to spray some of the perfume over it a little, until it was smelling really nice as well, and then I placed it into my pocket, beside my phone.
