It was currently 8:00 pm. Nathan hadn't gone home, nor had he told her in advance. Strangely, she hadn't even sent a WhatsApp message to ask where he was.
She claimed to love him, but outside of the bedroom, he felt no affection. Did she just want him for his body?
Nathan allowed himself a thin, humorless smile. "My wife enjoys her privacy," he explained. "She avoids these social events. However, she'd be very unhappy to smell another woman's perfume on me."
Derik laughed. "It sounds like Mrs. Lynch loves you very much, Mr. Lynch! You have a truly solid marriage."
Irene felt a flush of awkward humiliation at being so thoroughly ignored.
She had come here tonight hoping to attract a wealthy man. She didn't care if Nathan was married. In her experience, that was a solvable problem. If she could just get a foothold with Nathan, she was sure she could eventually replace his wife.
However, he wasn't giving her a single chance.
Nathan turned to Irene and handed her a token. "Get me a pack of cigarettes and charge it to my tab."
This was his way of offering her a graceful exit.
Irene picked up the token. "Yes, Mr. Lynch. I'll go now."
After Irene left, Derik shook his head with a laugh. "Mr. Lynch, you really don't know how to treat a lady, do you?"
Nathan smiled to himself. Every man knew how to be gentle with a woman, but it depended entirely on which woman. He was very particular about such things. He would never get involved with women from places like this, especially not one like her.
His preference had always been consistent. He preferred women like Celine and Michelle, who were a combination of intelligence and beauty. A merely pretty face couldn't interest him.
As Irene stepped into the hallway, Wendy Anderson immediately approached her. "Irene, is it true you were just with Mr. Lynch?"
