“Yeah, me too.” Natalie nodded.

Since Jasmine has passed away, I no longer feel any animosity toward her.

“Okay then. I'll go first. Don't forget the party tonight,” Joyce said, rising to her feet.

Natalie flashed her a smile. “Don't worry. I won't miss it.”

The party was supposed to be held on the night before, but due to Jasmine's incident, no one was in the mood to

party that night.

Therefore, it was postponed.

“Alright. Bye.” Waving her hand, she turned and left.

After she was gone, Natalie took out her design notes and started sketching.

Time flew by, and late afternoon came. Exhausted, she eventually put down her pencil, stretched herself, and put

back her notes into her drawer. After locking the drawer, she fished out her phone and called Shane.

The call got through quickly, and his baritone voice rang. “Hi.”

Leaning back against the chair, she tried to negotiate with him politely. “Shane, can we postpone the move to

tomorrow?”

He knitted his brows. “Why?”

“Last night, I forgot to tell you that my colleagues and I will be having a celebratory party tonight.” Natalie stuck out

her tongue in embarrassment.

Upon hearing that, his frown disappeared at once. “We don't need to postpone it. I've asked Silas to prepare all

your clothes and daily necessities, so you don't need to pack anything. As for the other things, we can get them

next time.”

“Huh? You've gotten everything ready?” Natalie was shocked.

“Uh-huh.”

She held her forehead, blown away. A brief moment later, she replied, “Wow, you're so thoughtful. Sooner or later,

I'll be a good-for-nothing as I rely on you more and more.”

“It's not bad to be dependent on me. The more you rely on me, the more you'll be inseparable from me in the

future.” He smirked.

Nonplussed, she responded, “Alright then. I still have work to do. I'll hang up now.”

Before she could end the call, he stopped her. “Hold on.”

Putting her phone back against her ear, she asked, “What is it?”

“Where is the party?” He shifted his posture slightly.

“We'll be celebrating at the Centennial Entertainment Hub.” She blinked in confusion. “Do you want to join us?”

The Centennial Entertainment Hub was a popular entertainment center in J City.

It had a variety of entertainment facilities including a cinema, restaurants, pubs, clubs, and karaokes. Thus, Natalie

and her colleagues planned to have dinner together first before going to the karaoke.

He declined, “No, thank you. Enjoy your night.”

He was more of an introvert, so he did not really like being part of large social gatherings.

“Fine.” Natalie shrugged nonchalantly.

Actually, she was just asking out of courtesy, not because she wanted him to join them.

After all, with his identity, the others might feel uneasy being around him. Luckily, he declined my invitation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to turn him down.

Shane uncrossed his arms and tapped on the armrest of his office chair. “Call me when the party is over. I'll pick

you up.”

She thanked him in reply and hung up the call.

Just then, Joyce opened the door of her office and peeked inside. “Nat, shall we go now?”

“Yup.” Grinning, she took her bag and strode out with her.

Then, two of them led more than a dozen of their colleagues to a restaurant that served seafood buffets in the

Centennial Entertainment Hub.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already past nine o'clock.

Their next stop was a karaoke bar nearby the restaurant.

They booked a private room, and everyone was in high spirits. Some of them sang karaoke while the others played

darts and beer pong. The private lounge was buzzing with excitement.

An hour later, Natalie felt a tad bored. She told Joyce that she would be out for a while and left to take a breather.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard someone calling her name from behind, stopping her in her

tracks. “Yo, Natalie!”

Curious, she pivoted on her heel and saw a tall, fashionable lady looking at her in surprise.

Natalie looked at her quizzically. She felt that the lady looked familiar, but she could not quite remember where she

had seen her before. Thus, she smiled politely at her and greeted, “Hi, you are...?”

The lady's face fell instantly. Walking daintily toward Natalie in her sky-high stilettos, she said in a cynical tone,

“You're so forgetful, Natalie. We were university roommates for a year, remember? How could you forget me?”
