Connor dragged her into the meeting room, locked the door, and pinned Natalie Niles against the wall, his fingers squeezing her throat, furious: "Is playing me your idea of fun? Natalie Niles, you're the clever one, everyone else is an idiot, manipulated by you, you feel accomplished, don't you? Speak!"
Natalie's face turned completely red from his grip, but she pointed to her own neck as if it was nothing, indicating she was about to be choked to death and couldn't speak.
Connor had no choice but to loosen his grip a bit, but his anger didn't dissipate at all.
"No sense of achievement, pretty tiring, so I want to settle down and live an ordinary life like I should."
"Nonsense!"
"I didn't play you either. Got rid of your girlfriend, and offered myself in return, doesn't work? You actually gained, I'm way better than your ex, in intelligence, physical ability, appearance, family background, better in every way, aren't you satisfied?"
"Not satisfied!"
