“Fine.” Jasmine had to agree to the man’s demand as if he had some dirt on her.
Soon, Natalie started hearing some subtle moans and grunts from afar.
She was so shocked that her heart pounded furiously, and she just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
Even after she returned to the private room, her face remained as pale as a ghost.
Shane noticed her expression and knitted his brows. “What’s wrong?”
“I…” Natalie nearly blurted out what she saw earlier but decided to hold back. “A rat appeared in the washroom and scared the daylights out of me.”
“Rat? In this hotel?” Shane squinted in disbelief.
Natalie dared not look at him in the eyes. She took a sip of the orange juice and said, “Yeah, it’s a huge one. It must have come from somewhere else.”
“Looks like I’ve to inform the hotel about this problem.” Shane then wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
Natalie responded with a wry smile and did not say anything after that.
It was not because she did not want him to know. If she were to tell him about it now, Shane would have exploded and ended this gathering in a fit of anger.
Moreover, Natalie thought it was best for him to find out about it himself. It would be too embarrassing for him to learn about his fiancée’s infidelity from another person. She was ready to drop a hint or two to help him discover the truth.
This was why she seemed absent-minded throughout lunch. How should I alert him about this without telling him directly?
She still failed to come up with a plan by the end of the gathering.
After bidding farewell to all the critics, Natalie and Shane left the hotel.
The wind outside was chilly, and Natalie could not help but shiver. She tried to warm herself by rubbing her hands together.
Upon seeing her reaction, Shane removed his blazer and placed it over her head.
Natalie looked at him, feeling confused.
