Chapter 122
As Logan ranted. Nathan’s eyes stayed calm, his tone lazy. “Don’t pin this on Eliana. I’m the one who’s into her, but the doesn’t feel the same way.
“And I’m still chasing her, you know.”
Nathan leaned back, crossing his legs with a lazy smile, “Eliana and I were high school dasmates. You’ve probably locked into that already.
I’ve always had a thing for her, but we were just kids back then, and we missed our chance.
“But if you’ve noticed I haven’t dated anyone in over a decade, you can see just how much the means to me.
“Honestly, when I found out she actually married you, I thought her standards must’ve really dropped. Even if the didn’t end up with me, she could’ve picked someone way better than you..
Nathan looked Logan up and down, gave a little smirk, and said I know how Eliana is. Once she decides to get married. she’s serious about it. She’d be ready to settle down and really make things work with your
“Honestly, I wasn’t trying anything else at first. All I could do was kick myself for not appreciating her when I had the chance
“I never thought you’d take her for granted like that, to the point where someone as stubborn as her is dead set on leaving you. So, Logan, tell me, should I give her a hand?
“Whether she ends up with me or not after you two split, first things first, I’m going to help her get out of this marriage Nathan fixed his gaze on Logan, a smile playing at his lips, but his eyes were dead serious. “You know exactly what I’m aber now, and what I want from you. Whether you’re in or not, that’s your call
Seeing Nathan looking like he had everything in the bag, Logan was fuming inside.
He shot Nathan a furious glare, teeth gritted, and barked, “Nathan Turner, are you mixing business with your own grade Do the people at your company even know what you’re up to? You really think you can keep everyone’s mouths see?”
But as soon as Logan finished, Nathan couldn’t help but laugh out loud “Why should I care what aNOOK L “Logan, do you really think everyone has to worry about what these old board members think.

Chapter 122
“Logan, I’ve made myself clear. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you. No pressure.”
With that, Nathan handed the contract back to Logan.
Logan just couldn’t handle being played by Nathan like this. He grabbed the contract and walked out, not even bothering to look back.
Not long after Logan left, Bobby walked in.
Bobby hurried over to Logan, a slight frown on his face. “Mr. Eliot, he didn’t say yes? You think he’s got some other plan up his sleeve?
“Now that you’ve put all your cards on the table, do you think he’ll try to mess with you and refuse to divorce Ms. Lyons just to spite you?
“What are we supposed to do if it really comes to that?”
Bobby had been by Nathan’s side for years, and he’d always been curious why Nathan never had any women around him.
With all the rumors swirling in their circle, Bobby had even started to wonder if there was something off about Nathan.
But now, he realized he’d been worrying for nothing. Nathan was perfectly normal, and maybe, even more so than most, because he was so devoted.
And right when they got back, Eliana was already fighting for a divorce from Logan. It was like even fate was rooting for Nathan, throwing him a bone whenever he needed it.
Everything was falling into place. As long as Nathan could get Logan to agree to the divorce this time, Bobby figured winning Eliana back was as good as guaranteed.
After all, Nathan was so outstanding and so devoted. Who could ever turn down a guy like that?
Bobby was totally blindsided. Logan actually said no.
Bobby was really losing it now. He was more on edge than Nathan was.
Nathan glanced at him, teasing, “Why are you freaking out more than I am?”
Bobby cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to get a grip and dial back his obvious nerves.
Nathan was in a good mood, and seeing Bobby all flustered made him chuckle. “Relax, he’ll be back.
I’ve already looked into the penalty for backing out of that project. Eliot Group can’t afford it right now.
“He’s not going to risk the whole company just for Eliana. He doesn’t love her that much.
Honestly, the only reason he’s stalling on the divorce is that he only thinking about his own interests. It was only after Eliana left that he realized what he lost, and now he’s kicking himself.
But if it ever comes down to choosing between Eliana and Eliot Group, you can bet he’d drop her in a heartbeat,
As Nathan spoke, there wasn’t a trace of triumph in his eyes.
The more Nathan realized what kind of guy Logan really was, the more his heart went out to Ehana for all the ender the poured in and all the times she was overlooked.
Corns I really need to double down and treat her even better him now on, Nathan thought to humit

He’ll be back soon. Won’t take more than two days, Nathan replied.
And just like Nathan predicted, Logan showed up again the very next day.
When Bobby got the call from the front desk, his eyes were practically shining with joy. He could barely contain his
excitement.
After hanging up, he knocked on Nathan’s office door with a big grin. “Mr. Turner, you really do have a sixth sense for these things. Mr. Eliot’s back again. Should I have him wait in the meeting room for you?”
“Yeah, you handle it this time. If he agrees, make sure he puts some real sincerity on the table. If not, tell him not to waste our time coming back, Nathan said, not even looking up.
“Understood, Bobby replied, grinning to himself. Mr. Turner really has a way of keeping people in check,‘ he thought.
In the meeting room, Logan’s expression soured as soon as he realized Bobby was the one coming to talk. “Where’s Nathan? Why isn’t he coming himself?”
