[Leonard]
I stormed out of the dining room, seething with anger. Although a large part of it was directed at Louis, most of it was directed at myself.
What was I thinking, charging towards Nicole like that? And now she thinks I was going to hit her. Of course I was not going to do that. I would never do that to her. Ever!
Once I got into the bedroom, I headed straight for the walk-in closet to get dressed. It was high time I paid Louis an unexpected visit. I came out of the closet a little while later, fully dressed, and ready to go.
I remembered to alert my men only when I got outside, and while I strolled lazily towards the spot where the convoy was usually parked, I couldn't help but notice that someone was staring intently at me. I looked up to see Nicole staring at me through the window in the dining room. I felt my heart thump faster than ever in guilt once our eyes met, and my guilt only managed to increase when she moved away from the window, and pulled up the curtains.
