Chapter 173
Amused, Sean burst out laughing before taking his glasses off for wiping. “Is that so? Then, I would like
to give it a try.”
“Be my guest,” responded Natalie coldly.
Sean stared at her with eyes like those of an eagle for a while before looking away. “Oh, I will, but now
is not the right time. So I heard that you’re not an official employee of the Thompson Group. Is that
true?”
Natalie nodded. “Yes. What’s the matter?”
It was not a secret, so naturally, she had no need to hide it.
Sean leaned in close to Natalie. “Do you want to work for me then?”
“What?” Natalie took a step back. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Sean?”
“I’m going to start up an apparel company myself, and I’d like to hire you. You just need to say ‘yes,’

So he’s trying to poach me.
Natalie played with her hair. “Sorry, Mr. Sean. I have no intentions of moving on to another company.”
“Why? Are you satisfied with being a small time designer for Shane?” Sean squinted and seemed
displeased that he got rejected.
Natalie parted her lips and was about to say something when she heard Shane’s voice behind her. “Of
course not. With her ability, the design director position is not even her final goal.”
“Mr. Shane!” Natalie turned to look at him with exultation.
She was glad that Shane came along because it would be dangerous for her to face Sean alone.
When Shane noticed how happy Natalie was to see him, he nodded slightly at her. That was
gentleness in his eyes when he looked at Natalie, but it quickly disappeared when he turned to Sean.
“Go look somewhere else if you want a designer, but you leave my people alone!”
Natalie’s heart pounded wildly when Shane called her his, and her eyes twinkled when she looked at
his stern profile.
Although she knew Shane meant that professionally and not in any other way, her heart could not help
but throb wildly.
“What if I only want Nat and nobody else?” Sean spread his arms and acted like he was troubled.
“Do you want to work for him?” asked Shane coldly as he turned to Natalie with a hardened expression.
After coming back to her senses, Natalie shook her head. “Of course not. I’ve just turned him down.
Besides, I’m not stupid enough to work for someone with ill intentions.”
Satisfied with Natalie’s reply, Shane lifted the corner of his mouth as his face softened.
Sean looked at Natalie bitterly. “How can you say that, Nat? You broke my heart.”
Natalie knew the man was just making fun of her, so she ignored him.
Shane took a few steps forward and hid Natalie behind him. “Did you hear that? She’s not going
anywhere with you.”

“So what? I don’t give up that easily.” Sean stared at Shane without a flinch.
While the two men were still engaged in a staredown, Natalie’s phone suddenly rang.
The two then turned their attention to Natalie at the same time. Smiling awkwardly, Natalie took her
phone out. “Please excuse me.”
With that, she walked towards the balcony, leaving the two of them in the room.
Shane narrowed his eyes as he questioned, “What’s your purpose for offering her a position at your
company?”
“What do you think? I noticed how talented she is because of today’s show. Isn’t it normal for
companies to poach talented employees from one another?” responded Sean with a shrug.
Shane scoffed at the man. “I might believe you if you didn’t do those despicable things to her.”
Light reflected on Sean’s glasses. “It’s not like I succeeded.”
“You should be glad that you didn’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here in one piece!” Shane
glanced over Sean coldly.
Sean chuckled. “Shane, don’t you think you care just a little bit too much for her?”
