After venting her anger, Nancy found herself under Humphrey's piercing gaze.
In his eyes, she saw disbelief, disappointment, and pain.
A chill ran down Nancy's spine. Hadn't he promised to stand by her? Now, he
thought she was a monster.
At her most vulnerable moment, Humphrey, the man who had always loved her
deeply, began to doubt her.
Was everyone starting to resent her?
Would Humphrey abandon her too?
Panic began to creep into Nancy’s heart.
“Humphrey, I fear you've misconstrued my emotions,” Nancy began, her voice
trembling. “I was consumed with anger, but at my core, I'm not malicious. My
heart was in my throat, fearing Millie might die. Thank God she’s alright.”
She continued with desperation in her voice, “You know the blood, sweat, and
tears I poured into becoming a designer. You once said I was the most dedicated
person you'd ever known. Can't you see the injustice in today’s competition? All
those hours, all that passion for jewelry design, and I was bested by a nobody.
The sting of defeat is a wound to my very soul.”
Nancy's eyes welled with tears, and she hid her anguished face.
Humphrey's fists tightened, his emotions teetering on the edge of control.
The transformation was inconceivable. How had the girl he admired for her hard
work become so manipulative?
“Humphrey, is everything I've done for nothing? My contract with the Thomas
Group isn’t even fulfilled. If they cast me out, my reputation will be in ruins.”
Nancy sobbed.
Seeing her so disheveled made Humphrey's heart ache.
Nancy must've been deeply affected by today’s events. He had witnessed all of
her efforts, so he decided to offer her some comfort.
