Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 81

“Forget it.” Natalie already knew what he was going to say.

Disappointed by her rejection, Sean stared at her for a moment before saying, “Alright then. I was looking for an excuse to get you to go out with me but you wouldn’t even give me the time of day.”

Natalie chuckled half-heartedly without saying a word.

“Well… In my opinion, Shane is also in the wrong. As a CEO, he couldn’t even keep his subordinates in check. This kind of incident would definitely not happen on my watch.” There was a glint in his eyes when Sean said that.

His words seemed to pricked Natalie in the heart as she furrowed her brows. “Mr. Sean, this is where you are mistaken. The Thompson Group is one of the largest firm in the industry with a vast amount of employees. There is only so much a human is capable of handling. We cannot expect the CEO to know every employee like the back of his palm, can we?”

“You sure are taking his side in this matter. Could it be that you have fallen for him?” Sean asked with an intent look.

Natalie shook her head as she quickly denied Sean’s claims. “Mr. Sean, are you kidding? That’s impossible!”

“Oh really? Because it seems to me that you are very protective of him,” Sean continued while staring daggers at her.

“I’m only defending him because he is a great superior to me.” Natalie tilted her head to one side anxiously.

“Is that so…” Sean shot her a questioning look, seeming to doubt her answer. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Anyway, you’d be looking for trouble if you fall for him. There is another woman who is more troublesome than Jasmine by his side,” Sean said with a smile after a brief pause.

More troublesome than Jasmine?

“Who do you mean?” Natalie blurted out.

Without responding to her question, Sean merely shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face.

It was only then did she realize that she had subconsciously expressed her interest in Shane. She lowered her head in embarrassment as she hurriedly changed the topic. “I have other matters to attend to, Mr. Sean. If there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave.”

“Don’t leave in such a hurry. Stay and chat with me for a little longer,” Sean said while holding her back.

Somewhere down the corridor, Shane was witnessing their interaction with a grim expression and clenched fists.

After a few moments, he spun around and walked towards the lift lobby.

“Mr. Shane, aren’t we going over?” inquired Silas.

“No. We wouldn’t want to interrupt them,” Shane replied coldly while struggling hard to suppress the jealousy within him.

Upon hearing the sarcasm in his voice, Silas turned to look at Natalie who was being pinned against the wall by Sean at that moment. “Mr. Shane, should we remove Ms. Smith from Project Rebirth?”

“What do you mean?” Shane said as he halted in his tracks.

“Well, considering Ms. Smith’s close relationship with Sean, I’m afraid she would sabotage Project Rebirth in order to further Sean’s ambitions in taking over the Thompson Group. If that were to happen…”

Before Silas could finish his speech, Shane bellowed in a deep voice, “Natalie would never do that!”

“How could you be so sure?” Silas questioned him with a puzzled look.

“If she really did follow Sean’s orders and sabotage Project Rebirth, there would be hell to pay. Not only would Natalie’s mentor cut all ties with her publicly, but she would also be condemned in the fashion industry. The repercussions are unfathomable.”

Shane could tell that Natalie was a career-minded woman. She would not sacrifice her career for love.

“I see.” Silas nodded in response.

“Ask someone to send this over to her later. Let her know to submit this after she has selected a model,” Shane said as he passed a report over to Silas.

“Understood!” Silas answered while fumbling over the report that was sliding down his body.

Silas was still confused over Shane’s decision to bring the report here personally instead of ordering someone else to do it. What’s more, after coming all this way, he refused to see Ms. Smith.

As he thought about the CEO’s actions, he let out a sigh. He finally concluded that he will ask his assistant to pass on the report to Natalie after heading back.
