Natalie massaged the space between her brows. “Sure, Ms. Graham. I believe you.”
“Liar,” Joyce mouthed at Natalie.
Natalie winked at her.
She had to admit that she was indeed lying. As if I would believe Jacqueline!
After all, Joyce managed to catch Jacqueline’s true meaning behind her words. As such, there was no way Natalie would miss it.
However, Jacqueline thought Natalie really fell for it and smiled happily. “I’m glad you believe me.”
“Don’t betray her trust, got that?” Joyce cut in once again.
Jacqueline stiffened before frowning. Her tone was bright despite her actual mood. “What do you mean by that?”
“What I mean is for you to not hurt yourself again just to snatch Mr. Shane away from Nat. Understood?”
Joyce narrowed her eyes as she continued, “Mr. Shane and Nat are married now, so please know your place. Don’t do what you did last night again. If you do, I’ll just have to assume that you’re trying to snatch Mr. Shane away from Nat.”
Jacqueline was rendered speechless and unable to refute her words.
After all, any answer she give would sound too defensive.
Natalie gave Joyce a big thumbs up.
The latter tilted her chin at Natalie proudly.
She shook her head in response before saying, “Don’t worry, Ms. Graham. Joyce always says things like that, so don’t take it to heart, okay?”
“I know. I won’t.” Jacqueline tried to squeeze out a smile.
Natalie massaged her sore shoulders. “Ms. Graham, will that be all? If so, I’ll be hanging up now. I have work to do.”
“That’s all,” Jacqueline answered as she looked down with an unreadable glint in her eyes.
Natalie hummed in response and instantly hung up without saying goodbye.
Joyce stood up and stretched. “Okay, I’ve got to get busy too. I got my visa from the Embassy, and I need to go pick it up.”
“When are you planning on visiting Stanley?” Natalie asked.
The man standing right outside her door was none other than Shane.
This was the first time he had come to her company.
“I’m here to pick you up,” Shane said gently as he looked at Natalie.
“Pick me up?” Natalie raised her eyebrow as she chuckled inwardly.
As if he doesn’t know what would happen if he came here!
Natalie looked at the other workers and designers behind him with shock on their faces and instantly felt a headache coming on.
She had kept it a secret this whole time and never answered when people asked who she was married to because she wanted to keep things low-key. She hadn’t imagined that Shane would personally come and cause a scene.
“What’s wrong?” He frowned at the sight of Natalie’s bitter smile and reached out worriedly to feel her forehead.
The people behind him all covered their mouths in glee at the sudden scene of affection.
“I’m fine,” Natalie said with a light chuckle as she took Shane’s hand off her forehead.
