Happy to be tricked

To Nate's surprise, Mrs Clayton didn't run to tell his daughter off. She waited more than he had forecasted before calling his office.

«CEO Woods,» said the reception girl, «there's a call from a woman saying she has something relevant to tell you.»

«What woman?»

«Name is Gracelyn Clayton. She says you two know each other and are discussing some... Uhm... Business deal? It wasn't very clear.»

«Ah, yes. Pass me the call,» he murmured.

Ignoring that woman might have brought trouble for Lara. It was better to take the call and clearly refuse whatever that woman wanted.

«Hello,» he said when he heard that the line had changed. «Here, Nathaniel Woods. Who is it calling?»
