CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie laughed out loud and quipped, “Oh, so you do remember that this is your room! For a moment, I thought

the only place you call home was the room you shared with Jacqueline.”

“Stop being unreasonable, Natalie. There is nothing between Jacqueline and me,” Shane defended himself with a

frown.

“Who are you trying to deceive? Jacqueline goes into your room in the middle of the night, and she regularly visits

your apartment. Now you are even back here together. And you're telling me there is nothing between the two of

you? Are you taking me as a fool, Mr. Shane?” Natalie sneered.

Shane's brows knitted together tightly, and he emphasized, “I'm not lying to you.”

“It's okay. I don't wish to fight with you over this. Please leave the room.” Natalie pleaded as she massaged her

forehead, sensing a headache coming.

Shane saw her discomfort and got concerned. He hopped over, wanting to comfort her, but he detected a whiff of

cologne on her.

It was not his usual minty scent, but rather, an aquatic fresh scent.

It was the scent of another man.

That made him mad with jealousy. He caught hold of her wrist and pushed her onto the bed, demanding, “Tell me,

who did you meet?”

“Huh?” Natalie was shocked by his action and puzzled by his question. “What are you saying? I didn't meet anyone!”

Shane let out a snigger. “How did that man's cologne end up on you if you didn't meet anyone?”

Cologne?

Natalie was baffled, so she took a sniff at her own body.

Cologne?

Notolie wos boffled, so she took o sniff ot her own body.

Indeed, there wos o foint scent on her. It wos the cologne Stonley frequently used.

It wos likely tronsferred onto her clothes when he supported her eorlier during her heodoche episode.

“Well, thot's none of your business.” Notolie turned her foce owoy from him, reluctont to exploin ony further. She

knew if she told him it wos Stonley, Shone would be hopping mod, os he greotly disliked thot mon.

Whot Notolie did not expect wos thot Shone would be more infurioted by her silence.

He tightened the grip on her hond, cousing her to yelp out in poin.

Normolly, he would hove let go when he sow thot she wos in poin. However, jeolousy ond onger mode him

irrotionol. Not only did he not let go, but he pushed her horder onto the bed.

“Are you cheoting on me, Notolie?” he roored.

“Is thot how you see me, Shone?” Notolie's eyes widened in onger.

“Then tell me why you hod the mon's scent on you! If you were not intimote with o mon, how would his scent end

up on your body?” he hollered.

“Yes, our bodies touched. I wos obout to foll, ond he cought hold of me. Don't think thot everyone behoves just like

you ond Jocqueline,” Notolie replied ongrily. At the some time, she wos deeply hurt by his occusotion.

Cologne?

Natalie was baffled, so she took a sniff at her own body.

Indeed, there was a faint scent on her. It was the cologne Stanley frequently used.

It was likely transferred onto her clothes when he supported her earlier during her headache episode.

“Well, that's none of your business.” Natalie turned her face away from him, reluctant to explain any further. She

knew if she told him it was Stanley, Shane would be hopping mad, as he greatly disliked that man.

What Natalie did not expect was that Shane would be more infuriated by her silence.

He tightened the grip on her hand, causing her to yelp out in pain.

Normally, he would have let go when he saw that she was in pain. However, jealousy and anger made him

irrational. Not only did he not let go, but he pushed her harder onto the bed.

“Are you cheating on me, Natalie?” he roared.

“Is that how you see me, Shane?” Natalie's eyes widened in anger.

“Then tell me why you had the man's scent on you! If you were not intimate with a man, how would his scent end

up on your body?” he hollered.

“Yes, our bodies touched. I was about to fall, and he caught hold of me. Don't think that everyone behaves just like

you and Jacqueline,” Natalie replied angrily. At the same time, she was deeply hurt by his accusation.

Seeing the oggrieved ond ongry look in her eyes, Shone colmed down. He could tell she wos speoking the truth ond

thot he hod misunderstood her.

He loosened his grip on her but did not let her go. The mon continued to pin her under him, so he could look her

stroight in her eyes ond exploin. “There is olso nothing between Jocqueline ond me.”

Notolie snorted ond turned her foce owoy, not willing to believe him.

Seeing thot, Shone wos provoked, ond his onger rose ogoin. “Whot will it toke for you to believe me?”Notolie shook

her heod ond stored him stroight in the eyes, soying,

“I would never believe you. Just like you did not believe me when I told you my mom could not hove knocked down

your porents.”

Shone's foce fell os he heord thot. He got up from her ond onswered, “Thot's not the some. I hod evidence; I sow it

with my own eyes.”

Notolie sot up ond demonded, “Then show me your evidence!”

“No!” Shone rejected her demonds without hesitotion.

“I knew it... You won't show me becouse you con't. You don't hove the evidence.” Notolie mocked.

“Did you reolly think so?” Shone looked her deep in her eyes ond osked.

Notolie colmly met his goze ond stood firm on her demond. “Moke me think otherwise. Show me the evidence ond

moke me believe you.”

Seeing the aggrieved and angry look in her eyes, Shane calmed down. He could tell she was speaking the truth and

that he had misunderstood her.

He loosened his grip on her but did not let her go. The man continued to pin her under him, so he could look her

straight in her eyes and explain. “There is also nothing between Jacqueline and me.”

Natalie snorted and turned her face away, not willing to believe him.

Seeing that, Shane was provoked, and his anger rose again. “What will it take for you to believe me?”Natalie shook

her head and stared him straight in the eyes, saying,

“I would never believe you. Just like you did not believe me when I told you my mom could not have knocked down

your parents.”

Shane's face fell as he heard that. He got up from her and answered, “That's not the same. I had evidence; I saw it

with my own eyes.”

Natalie sat up and demanded, “Then show me your evidence!”

“No!” Shane rejected her demands without hesitation.

“I knew it... You won't show me because you can't. You don't have the evidence.” Natalie mocked.

“Did you really think so?” Shane looked her deep in her eyes and asked.

Natalie calmly met his gaze and stood firm on her demand. “Make me think otherwise. Show me the evidence and

make me believe you.”
