He hadn't been able to perform for a long time, and tonight's sudden urge had been too much to resist.
Joanna was livid, her eyes filled with venom. Tonight’s plan was a complete failure. She had lost Mr. Wilson’s trust.
Damn you, Natalie. You’re despicable!
“Hmph! You ruined my plan tonight. You can figure out how to explain yourself to Wendy,” Joanna snapped, turning on her heel. She still had to find a way to win back Mr. Wilson.
Nathan was left standing alone, terrified to go home.
…
Hiding in the shadows, Sebastian had watched Natalie and Marshall emerge. He followed them quietly from a distance.
“Natalie, we won tonight. Joanna’s plan backfired. What do you think she’ll do next?” Marshall asked, turning to look at her stunning profile, the dark night reflected in her eyes. She was a timeless beauty, he a devastatingly handsome rogue. They were a perfect match.
Natalie gazed at the distant night sky, a faint smile on her lips. “She won’t make a move on me for a little while. She’ll be too busy trying to placate Mr. Wilson and win back Sebastian. That gives us some breathing room. But not you. You still need to find the mole in your company.”
Marshall’s expression turned grim. “I haven’t found them yet. I don’t even have a suspect.”
Natalie stopped walking and looked at him, her tone serious. “Marshall, stop hesitating. You have a suspect, you’re just afraid to investigate. Don’t bet on fate, and never bet on the human heart. You can’t predict people, and you can’t afford to lose against fate.”
