CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 154

“You seem to care about her very much?” Stanley adjusted his glasses and asked back instead.

Natalie chuckled. “Not really. I just pity her for the pain she has to go through.”

“She has almost recovered actually. She just needs to stay for a while longer and we can discharge her soon,” Stanley placed his hands in his pocket as he explained.

“That’s good!” Natalie nodded. “I’ve heard everything about Ms. Graham from you. Now that I’ve seen her for myself, she’s indeed a gentle woman.”

“Gentle?” Stanley raised his brows at that. A hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes when he replied.

“Why? Am I wrong?” Natalie asked.

“Nope.” Stanley shook his head.

After that, Natalie spent some time chatting with Stanley before leaving shortly.

When she returned to Thompson Group, Natalie passed the flash drive to the dress-making department and started her day of work.

When she was done with office work, she went to the Fashion Hall that afternoon to check on the rehearsal. By the time she was done with everything, her back and waist were sore from fatigue.

At night, Natalie had just prepared her dinner when the doorbell rang.

She put down the dishes and wiped her hands on her apron as she went to get the door.

Her eyes widened like saucers when she saw her visitor. “Mr. Shane!”

Shane acknowledged her with a hum.

Natalie let go of the door and gestured for him to come in. “Please come in and take a seat, Mr. Shane.”

“Oh, no need for that. I’m just here to take something. By the way, have you offended anyone in the past?” Shane asked while staring at her.

“What do you mean by that?” Natalie frowned at his question.

“The snatch theft yesterday was planned deliberately. The snatch thief woke up this afternoon, and we found out from him that someone handed your photo to him. He was told that you’re having a huge amount of cash with you.”

“A huge amount of cash...” Natalie slowly mumbled the words. She clenched her fists tightly as someone came to her mind.

“You know who did it?” Shane’s eyes narrowed at her actions.

“Yes. It’s Susan.” Natalie nodded in confirmation.

She then told him of her encounter with Susan at the 4S shop but hid the part about Warren.

Shane went quiet at her narration.

Never had he expected this incident had happened because Natalie blackmailed Susan’s money from her, causing Susan to take revenge on her.

“You reckless...” Shane’s lips quivered madly. He was about to ask further when Natalie’s phone sounded and interrupted him.

Natalie excused herself apologetically and fished out her phone from underneath her apron. She swiftly answered the call when she saw the caller ID. “Hey, Joyce.”

“Something bad happened, Nat!” Joyce’s panicked voice sounded from the earpiece. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“What happened?” Natalie asked with a serious expression.

“Didn’t you transfer three million to my bank account yesterday? So I used the money to buy some machinery which arrived today. But two hours ago, a group of men crashed into my factory and destroyed all my new machinery!” Joyce explained furiously.

“What?” Natalie raised her voice and tightened her grip around the phone.

Shane frowned at her sudden raised voice. “What happened?”

But Natalie did not answer him and continued asking through the phone. “Where did those men come from?”

“I don’t know. But judging from their attires, I guess they’re not members of any well-structured gang,” Joyce replied.

Natalie lowered her head in thought. “If it’s not men from the gangs, then they must be bandits. Where are you now, Joyce?”

“I’m at the factory.”

“Alright, I’m coming over now.”

After hanging up the call, Natalie turned around to grab Shane’s arm. “Mr. Shane, can I borrow your car now? I have something important to settle.”

“Let me send you there,” Shane replied.

He had no idea what had happened, but judging from her furious expression, it must be something serious.

After all, two heads were better than one. Who knows things might be easier with him around?

“Ok. Thanks, Mr. Shane.” Realizing her actions, Natalie let go of his arms abruptly.
