“I’m not hungry either. I’m just helping to place everything down,” Joyce replied with a smile.
Oh, please. I won’t eat with Mr. Shane when Nat is refusing to eat with us. That would be so messed up.
“Okay, you guys eat up. I have to go to work now,” Joyce added before she wiped her hands and left, leaving the family of four in the dining area.
After he got the two kids some food, Shane turned to Natalie and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to have some?”
“I’m really not hungry. Besides, I’m on some medication, so I can’t consume too many calories. I’ll just watch you guys eat,” Natalie replied as she rested her head on her hand.
Shane nodded and stopped trying to convince her.
She’s under some medication, so I’ll be the one with the broken heart if she develops some medical complications.
The trio started eating away. Natalie, on the other hand, grinned while watching them.
To her, the man and the two kids in front of her would always make the most exquisite sight on Earth.
After their meal, Shane got a call from Thompson Group. He had to rush back for a meeting.
The kids stayed with Natalie and only went home with her when it was time to clock off.
“Nat,” said Joyce while frowning at that moment. She had a folder with her when she entered Natalie’s office.
Natalie was playing with the kids at the time, but when she saw how grim Joyce looked, she patted her kids’ heads, then went to her desk.
“What’s wrong?” asked Natalie curiously as she sat down.
Joyce sat down opposite her and answered, “I left earlier to check the accounts and realized that the cheque we gave Mr. Miller was never deposited. I went to the finance department to ask about it, but the manager claimed that he couldn’t get in touch with Mr. Miller’s assistant. Mr. Miller gave us his bank account number some time ago, but the account was canceled, so we have no idea how to give him the money now.”
“Money… as in the dividend?” asked Natalie as she got the folder from Joyce.
