The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

Chapter 326 Dancing with Shadows

Nathaniel, known for his unpredictable and ruthless nature, exuded a sense of menace. He took a deep breath and sat back on the sofa. Hudson, who had dealt with the bodyguards outside, entered the box and approached the terrified singer. She trembled in her short leather skirt, visibly frightened.

Hudson approached her with a reassuring smile, gently wiping away her tears, and steadied the microphone she was about to drop.

"Don't be afraid," Hudson said kindly. "Keep singing. This is Mr. Nathaniel's tip for you. Choose something more soothing. Love songs are a bit clichéd."

Red Shift's reputation in Saeville's entertainment scene was due to its exclusive selection of high-caliber hostesses. They were highly educated, sophisticated, or possessed striking beauty, making the establishment a favorite among the city's elite.

As the singer's voice filled the room, Nathaniel's gaze remained fixed on Frey. He wrapped his arms around her waist, his grip firm and almost possessive.

Frey tensed, and Nathaniel's displeasure grew more evident with every subtle reaction.

He took a deep breath and whispered, "Since you enjoy places like this, let's dance together."

Knowing the risks of angering Nathaniel further, Frey allowed herself to be drawn into his

After the dance, Nathaniel guided Frey back to her seat and placed a glass of orange juice in front of her. The countertop, now messy, prompted Della to call in a cleaner, Maggie.

Seeing Maggie's pale face, Frey realized this was another of Nathaniel's tactics. Instead of confronting her directly, he chose to humiliate Maggie in front of her.

Maggie was forced to kneel and clean up the mess, her face showing clear distress. Frey felt a pang of sympathy, recognizing that

With red eyes and no further strength to protest, Maggie gave up, feeling defeated. She understood that, despite everything, Nathaniel's true feelings for Frey had never wavered.
