How dare she! Is she not afraid that I might expose her secret?
“I see.” Silas walked over, picked up the crutches, and handed them to Sean. “I don’t think you should harass our colleagues like this. I can’t imagine what Mr. Shane would do if he found out about this. To keep yourself from getting in trouble, I would advise you to release Ms. Natalie.”
Sean gave him a sullen stare before turning his attention to Natalie. He then took over the crutches and let Natalie go.
Once Natalie managed to free herself, she instantly ran away from him.
A corner of Sean’s mouth quirked up upon seeing how terrified Natalie was. He turned his attention to Silas and sneered, “You seem to be everywhere.”
Silas grinned, “Well, Mr. Shane called me, and I was just on my way to his office. I believe you’re here to see Mr. Shane too? Shall we?”
He did not give Sean a chance to decline by showing him the way to Shane’s office.
Sean not was offended by his gesture. He stayed calm and gave Natalie a baffling smile. “We’ll talk soon.”
Natalie watched him walking with his crutches and limped toward Shane’s office.
Once Sean had left, she immediately expressed her gratitude to Silas with a smile. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Glad I was here to help,” Silas responded.
He did not lend her a helping hand just because she was Shane’s woman.
He would have done the same to any employees in this office. This was his responsibility as a member of the senior management.
“I’ve got to go and see Mr. Shane. I’ll see you later.” Silas took a glance at his watch.
Once Silas had left, Natalie took the elevator and returned to the design department.
She got back to her office, recalled what Sean said earlier, and began to worry.
It was clear that Sean still held grudges against her. He would eventually settle old scores with Natalie. It was just a matter of time.
Natalie was certainly creeped out by the fact that Sean had marked her as his target.
The thought the dealing with this man in the future gave her a headache. She could no longer focus on her work the entire morning.
At noon, Shane gave her a call, “Done with your work?”
Natalia massaged her forehead and tried to pull herself together. “Yeah.”
“Come and meet me at the car park.” Shane hung up on her after that.
Natalie put down the phone and quickly arranged her desk. She then left the office after grabbing her handbag.
By the time she arrived at the car park, the door at the passenger’s seat behind was already opened for her.
Natalie grinned and quickened her pace. “Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“It’s fine. Get in,” Shane put down the magazine in his hands and said calmly.
After getting into the car and greeted Silas, who was at the driver’s seat, she took out her phone and texted Joyce, hoping she could help her pick the children up.
Right after she had done sending the message, Shane said, “Silas told me about the things that Sean did to you this morning.”
Natalie blinked. “So…”
Shane knew what was on her mind. “I’ve appointed him as a CEO of one of our subsidiaries. Without my permission, he’ll not be able to enter the headquarters. So, you’ll be safe.”
“Oh.” Natalie smiled. “Thank you.”
Shane gently nodded and remained quiet.
About half an hour later, they arrived at a hotel.
The waiter led the way and brought them to a private room.
Most of the critics had arrived and were all gathered in the private room.
Shane and Natalie took their seats and greeted all the guests. He then ordered the waiter to start serving the dishes. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Waiters started bringing in dishes on a cart and placed them on the dining table.
