CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 114

Shane was aware of Natalie’s response, including the way she blushed after they kissed.

Although it was merely an accident, it wouldn’t change the fact that they had shared a kiss. Since it was a kiss from another man, he was afraid he might have caused her a lot of stress.

As he thought about it, he lowered his gaze and asserted calmly, “You should think of it as nothing but an accident and forget about it.”

“Huh?” Natalie felt a chill running down her spine when she heard him.

He ignored her and took a peek at her before prompting her, “We have arrived at the venue. Let’s go.”

Immediately after he his speech, he walked out of the elevator with his slender pair of legs.

Natalie stared at his departing figure and felt a strong urge to say something, yet she didn’t know what to say.

A few seconds later, she finally sorted things out in her mind and went after him.

He was right. I shouldn’t have been bothered by such a trivial matter when we had done even more intimate things five years ago. Am I seriously getting embarrassed due to a random kiss? What’s wrong with me? It was nothing but an accident. I’ll just pretend nothing has occurred as he has suggested.

Natalie finally returned to her usual self and dove right into her work with enthusiasm after they reached Fashion Hall.

Shane took a seat by the stage as though he was an audience of the show. He couldn’t stop staring at Natalie who was in the middle of a conversation with the coordinator of the show, discussing the details

of the rehearsal.

She looked extremely gorgeous when she took her work seriously, emanating the strong presence of a chief designer. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Shane returned to his senses the moment he received a call. He reached for his phone and picked up the call. “Hello?”

No one knew what was the content of the conversation, but he was seen bolted up from his seat suddenly and said, “I’ll head over immediately.”

As soon as he hung up the call, Shane beckoned one of the staff over and gave him a set of instructions before leaving with a serious look.

The unknowing Natalie walked down the stage to look for Shane after she was done sorting out the arrangements for the show with the coordinator.

As he was nowhere to be seen, she thought he might have headed over to the washroom, but the staff approached Natalie and said, “Ms. Natalie, if you’re looking for Mr. Shane, he has departed a few minutes ago.”

“What? He has departed?”

Natalie was confused because they had just reached the venue a few minutes ago, yet he seemed to have left in a hurry.

Is there an emergency?

“Yes, Ms. Natalie. He left after a call as he needs to make a trip to the hospital to visit a someone.”

By the time she heard everything from the staff, Natalie finally linked the missing pieces of the puzzles together.

Two days ago, Stanley told her Ms. Graham’s surgical operation was a huge success. However, since she had been in a vegetative state for years, her condition might vary from time to time.

He’s on his way to the hospital to visit Ms. Graham, right?

Natalie suppressed the odd emotion she felt deep down and forced a smile, beaming her reply, “Thanks for informing me.”

The staff waved at her and told her it wasn’t a big deal before returning to his position.

Since everything was in place, Natalie hailed a cab and made her way back to the company.

In the afternoon, after Natalie packed her stuff and was about to return home, Sean showed up at her doorstep and knocked on the door of her office. “Are you free now?”

Frowning, Natalie asked in return, “Mr. Sean, do you need anything from me?”

Sean approached her and said, “I want to bring you out and get you an evening gown.”

“An evening gown?” The confused woman thought about it. After a few seconds, she finally recalled his invitation and thought he must be talking about the dress she would have to put on during his birthday banquet.

“That won’t be necessary, Mr. Sean. I can...”

“Say no more and let’s go!” After he retrieved her bag on her behalf, Sean held her hand and dragged her out of her office before she could finish his sentence.

They finally reached the shopping mall after an hour.

Sean walked into a boutique store with Natalie who seemed to be irritated. “Get her something that fits her.”

The shop attendant sized Natalie up and was surprised by her flawless features. She smiled and nodded. “Miss, please follow me.”

Nevertheless, Natalie stood right where she was, fuming with anger because she had been brought to the shopping mall against her will.

As she was utterly irritated by Sean’s action, she refused to give in to his demand.

Sean knew it was part of Natalie’s plan to retaliate against him. He wasn’t particularly mad, but he leaned over and whispered, “If you refuse to go with her, I’ll pick you a dress and get you changed on my own.”

“Y-You’re such a shameless man!” She glared at him and pushed him away. In the end, Natalie made her way to where the collection of gowns was.
