Scarlett's POV:
Nate had not stopped pestering me, which was so annoying. There was even a point where I suspected that he was following me. I stared at him coldly.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here. I'm meeting a friend at this restaurant." He seemed to have read my mind from the way I looked at him. He immediately held up his hands in surrender and explained.
He was undressing me with his eyes again, and it filled me with disgust.
"Really? What a coincidence."
"Sweetie, have you thought about what I proposed last time? If you agree right now, I'll have ten million dollars wired to your account immediately," Nate said smugly.
I stood my ground. Even if he gave me everything he had, it would never be enough to pay for my freedom and dignity.
Nate reached out and attempted to grab my wrist. I dodged his advance.
"Mr. Lively, as an elder, you should conduct yourself appropriately, and I don't think you're doing that by trying to touch me without my consent." After that, I turned around and walked toward the parking lot to look for Nina.
