After Frederick sent the photo to Nelson, he pondered for a moment before sending it to someone else as well.
…
Nelson was having dinner with a business partner when he received the photo.
Sabrina was still wearing the same black coat, and her hair was disheveled. Though, the lighting gave her hair a shiny luster.
But her dejected and vulnerable expression made him feel sorry for her.
As he stared at her face, he recalled her disheartened look from the previous day.
Nelson took a sip of wine, finding it more bitter than usual.
"Sorry, I have an important matter to attend to. As a punishment, I'll down three glasses and take my leave. I'll see you at the office tomorrow."
The place where he was wasn't far from her hotel.
When he exited the car, he saw Sabrina standing at the hotel entrance, waiting for a cab.
She stood in the rain without an umbrella.
Since yesterday, Sabrina had wanted to message Gerald to ask how he is doing.
However, she hadn't done anything since she was in a dilemma on whether to text him or not.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.
She assumed it was Eva returning from the hotel with an umbrella.
She said, without looking up, "Give me the umbrella. You go back and rest. I'll go over there myself."
Although Leona didn't choose to cooperate with Breeze Group, she introduced them to a different brand representative, which Sabrina was going over to discuss.
She turned around after seeing no response and saw Nelson's handsome yet stern face.
"Why are you…" She stopped mid-sentence.
Nelson wasn't just an investor in the film industry. He was a top-tier investor who had backed several hot projects and was highly sought after by companies for corporate consulting.
His advice always turned companies from loss to profit.
Hence, she wasn't surprised to see him there.
"How can a beautiful lady like you be so careless and not to bring an umbrella out?" His tone was a mix of reproach and intimacy.
Sabrina stared at him indifferently and said nothing.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride," he offered.
Just then, her taxi arrived. "There's no need for that. My ride is here."
