Nathan was stunned when he heard the beep signifying the end of the call. He didn't think Evelyn would dare to hang up on him.
Telling himself he had to ask for an explanation only to call back and her number was unreachable. After several tries, he realized he had been blocked.
Nathan hurled his phone across the room, his chest heaving up and down.
The door was pushed open slightly and he raised his head to see Rhea walking in. A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes and he leaned back in his chair to calm himself down.
"What do you want?"
Rhea looked around, nothing the broken pieces of his phone.
"Nate what's wrong? Is it the board members again? Don't let them get to you."
She walked across the room and held his hand, squeezing them for comfort.
Nathan took in all her actions and instead of feeling pacified, there was an itch in his heart to make her suffer and see her face contorted in pain.
