Chapter 75

Her ideas managed to capture their interest, for they proceeded to ask about the feasibility of her

plans.

Shane was the only one who kept looking at her without saying a word, a storm brewing in his eyes.

Jasmine, who sat next to him, took note of his strange behavior.

Following his gaze, she was brought to attention the red mark on Natalie’s neck. Her eyes widened,

sensing a massive crisis at hand. Even her breathing had quickened.

As a bystander, she could read his body language very clearly. Shane was staring at Natalie’s neck,

clearly out of jealousy!

How long has it been since Natalie started working here? And yet, Shane had already set his sights on

that woman. Meanwhile, I have been by his side for five years, and he hasn’t even looked me in the

eye! No! This can’t go on any longer! I need to drive her away fast, or I’ll never feel at ease!

As she kept to her thoughts, Jasmine squeezed her hands tightly and began to hatch a plan in her

mind.

Before long, the meeting ended.

The attendees dispersed in twos and threes, and soon only the three of them were left in the

conference room.

Natalie got to her feet, wanting to discuss with Shane about the models for the catwalk when the door

of the conference room was flung open suddenly. A towering figure came stalking into the room.

“Shane! It’s been a while!” The visitor greeted Shane, grinning from ear to ear.

Shane squinted his eyes, giving the man a cold stare before uttering his name, “Sean Thompson!”

Thompson? Wasn’t that Shane’s surname as well? Are they brothers?

Natalie looked over at the visitor curiously, only for her mouth to fall open in surprise when she

registered his face.

It’s him!

Jasmine managed to catch Natalie’s reaction. An idea clicked in her mind, and she deliberately raised

her voice as she spoke, “Ms. Natalie, are you acquainted with Sean?”

Hearing that, Shane instantly shifted his gaze to Natalie as though seeking confirmation of Jasmine’s

statement.

Under his scrutiny, Natalie nodded but then quickly shook her head, “No, not exactly. We’ve just met

once...”

Before she could finish, Sean interjected and feigned sadness as he grieved, “Oh, how terrible of you

to say that. I came here today just to see you.”

“To see me?” Natalie, somewhat befuddled, pointed at herself.

“Yes, I specifically asked about you, and it turns out that you work here. And so I came,” Sean added

as he walked towards her.

Natalie was gravely unfamiliar with the man, and so she was reluctant to get close to him.

Subconsciously, she stepped back in the direction that happened to be behind Shane, but she had

barely retreated a few steps when Sean grabbed her hand.

Sean shot her a devilish smirk, “Why are you avoiding me? Am I that scary? You certainly weren’t

avoiding me last night!”

Last night?

Shane was about to reach out to Natalie when he heard Sean’s casual statement. Startled, his hand

stopped in mid-air, and it took him a while to regain his sense. He retracted his clenched fist with a

sullen look on his face.

So, Sean was the one who planted that hickey on her neck!

Whatever Shane had been thinking about naturally crossed Jasmine’s mind as well. Sean’s ambiguous

choice of words was certainly not doing anyone any favors.

“Sean, what’s your relationship with Ms. Natalie?” Jasmine pretended to ask out of curiosity as she

suppressed her struggling emotions.

Shane’s ears twitched ever so slightly. He was apparently concerned about the matter as well.

Sean noticed that brief movement from the corner of his eye and curled his lips into a smirk. “Can’t you

tell?”

Natalie’s eyes widened, and she stared at him in astonishment. Her face flushed with anger from

hearing his intentions of deliberately making others misinterpret their relationship.

Before she could rebut, however, Jasmine beat her to talk, “Of course I can. I just wanted to make

sure.”

She did not understand. Why is God so unfair? Why does Natalie always seem to attract such good

men? First, Shane has taken an interest in her, and now Sean... But this could be a good thing. If

Natalie and Sean were to become an official couple, then Shane would have to give up on Natalie,

right?

While entertaining the idea, Jasmine tugged on Shane’s arm, feigning surprise as she said, “Shane, I

didn’t expect Ms. Natalie and Sean to be a couple.”
