The bet is on! What will the winner be rewarded? Someone asked in the group chat.
The discussion soon got a lot more attention.
That was what everyone wanted to know.
After all, no one would be interested in participating in a bet they could not afford.
One of the higher-ups smirked subtly before typing: A bottle of Louis XiIIl! Louis XIII! Not bad.
Someone's gambling big.
Alright, I am in! Count me in.
One by one, the rest of the room put down their bets.
Following suit, everyone lowered their cell phones and turned their attention to Shane.
Under the anticipation of the board, Shane picked up the phone.
His lips parted and asked, "How's my wife?"
With those three words, the entire conference room was split into two sets of emotions.
Half of them cheered silently in their victory while the other half sighed miserably upon their defeat.
The losing half now had to buy a bottle of Louis XIII each and gifted them to those who won the bet.
Fortunately, everyone in the room was high-ranking officials and had a considerably fat paycheck.
A bottle of Louis XII might be pricey, but it was not something they could not afford.
It would not take long for the losing party to recover from the loss.
Shane was still talking to Natalie in his seat at the head of the table.
His affectionate expression made everyone on the table squirm uncomfortably.
In the past, they had also gossiped about how Shane would act once he fell into the trap of true love.
Everyone wondered if he would remain as icy as he was, or if he would shed his stern look and become warm and gentle.
At that moment, it was evident that the latter had happened.
After Shane got married, his entire demeanor changed.
He became gentle in both his actions and his speech.
But of course, that side of him was reserved for Natalie only.
When it came to his subordinates, Shane was still as cold as he was prior to his marriage.
Even so, that was enough to shock everyone.
If someone would have told them in the past that Shane would become a gentle person after he started dating and got married, they would never believe the person.
In fact, they would think the person was either crazy or messing with them.
