Harriet and Nathalie faced each other.
Harriet lowered her hand from Nicholas' chest and moved her chair away from Nicholas, but did not move.
Nathalie sat back in her chair, acting calm and reaching for Nicholas' hand on the table, holding it tightly as if to show ownership.
Harriet's eyebrows rose slightly at that and she felt her heart upset.
"Honey, aren't you going to introduce me to YOUR FRIEND?" Nathalie said with a sweet smile to Nicholas, emphasizing the word your friend as she glanced at Harriet.
Nicholas knew Nathalie's upset mood because of seeing Harriet. It must have been the same as when he received the call from Charles.
To Nicholas now, this felt funny. He smiled and leaned toward Nathalie.
"This is Harriet Abby, babe," Nicholas said. "The woman my father arranged for me. I told you about it."
"Ah," Nathalie said, looking at Harriet. "Harriet Abby. Hi, nice to meet you."
