Chapter 851 Mercer gave her a brief look, then stepped into the office.

The moment the door closed behind them, the office outside, previously hushed in anticipation, erupted into quiet murmurs.

"He mentioned personal matters? I'm so curious about the details.

" "Nancy's really something, isn't she? Always so low-key, yet she's caught the eye of a star singer.

Imagine that.

And who knows? With Mercer's influence, perhaps the firm has a fighting chance to rebound.

"Juliet, what's your game?" A female employee Juliet was creeping closer to Nancy's office, silencing her colleagues with a finger to her lips. "Quiet! I'm trying to catch what they're discussing!" Once the door was shut, Mercer cornered Nancy against the wall, his anger evident.

"Nancy, have you lost your senses? What were you thinking, doing that to me?" Nancy faced his intense look, aware of Mercer's outrage over her previous actions, yet surprised by his direct approach.

There seemed to be a rustle at the door, likely eavesdroppers.

Nancy seized Mercer's tie, pulled him closer, and retorted softly, "Apologies, but I say what I think.

Is a tantrum necessary? Oh, did I upset you? My apologies.

"Still defiant, I see?" Mercer's voice was low and tense.

"So, you slept withthen brushedoff? You seemed eager enough last night.

Have you forgotten? And I'm bad in bed, you say?" Nancy maintained her composure, her face warming slightly.

"I was intoxicated.

I couldn't help it.

Adopting a mature stance, she folded her arms.

"Let's move on.

Erase last night from memory.

No resentments.

" Mercer, taken aback, managed to say, "What?" "I've got work to do.

Unless there's official business, I'd ask you to leave.

"1 Nancy held his gaze calmly.

Mercer, smirking, remembered the previous night's events, feeling a twinge of bitterness.

"Going to meet another man? Here's an offer: I'll outbid them.

Just spend twith me.

" Mercer acted like he didn't care, reaching out to lift Nancy's chin.

Nancy was left speechless, feeling demeaned.

Did he really see her that way? She wanted to slap him, yet he caught her hand, drawing his face close to hers.

Their proximity made her pulse quicken.

As he moved as if to kiss her, she tensed, eyes tightly shut.

But the anticipated kiss never came.

Confused, she was about to look when she heard his taunting whisper.

"No flinching this time? Looks Like you're set for a kiss.

Nancy, let's be real, you had fun last night, didn't you?" Nancy's cheeks burned with anger, her pride forgotten, she exclaimed, "Mercer Aston!" The listeners outside were taken aback by her loud voice.

What was happening inside? They had been eavesdropping and heard only her sharp exclamation.

They were baffled.

Did Nancy just lash out at Mercer? So, their speculations were off the mark? Wasn't Mercer there to assist her?

With their company facing challenges and Nancy as the acting leader, could she afford to alienate EIT! this star singer? They looked at each other, wondering if they should start job-hunting.

Regaining her composure, Nancy's voice softened, "Mercer, what do you really want?"

With a smirk, Mercer leaned in and said plainly, "I've been clear, I want el you to spent twith me. Just as Nancy was about to react, her phone rang.

Meeting her glare, he stepped back.

Nancy took the call, addressing another request to end a contract.

Despite her turmoil, she remained composed.

"Mr.

Mosby, canceling a contract just because another firm is interested doesn't align with our agreement.

Our contract is specific... If there's something you're unhappy with, let us know.

We're open to discussions as long as it's feasible..." Hearing her humble words, Mercer couldn't help frown.
