Amused, Sean burst out laughing before taking his glasses off for wiping. “Is that so? Then, I would like to give it a try.”
“Be my guest,” responded Natalie coldly.
Sean stared at her with eyes like those of an eagle for a while before looking away. “Oh, I will, but now is not the right time. So I heard that you’re not an official employee of the Thompson Group. Is that true?”
Natalie nodded. “Yes. What’s the matter?”
It was not a secret, so naturally, she had no need to hide it.
Sean leaned in close to Natalie. “Do you want to work for me then?”
“What?” Natalie took a step back. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Sean?”
“I’m going to start up an apparel company myself, and I’d like to hire you. You just need to say ‘yes,’ and the design director position is yours.”
So he’s trying to poach me.
Natalie played with her hair. “Sorry, Mr. Sean. I have no intentions of moving on to another company.”
“Why? Are you satisfied with being a small time designer for Shane?” Sean squinted and seemed displeased that he got rejected.
Natalie parted her lips and was about to say something when she heard Shane’s voice behind her. “Of course not. With her ability, the design director position is not even her final goal.”
“Mr. Shane!” Natalie turned to look at him with exultation.
She was glad that Shane came along because it would be dangerous for her to face Sean alone.
When Shane noticed how happy Natalie was to see him, he nodded slightly at her. That was gentleness in his eyes when he looked at Natalie, but it quickly disappeared when he turned to Sean. “Go look somewhere else if you want a designer, but you leave my people alone!”
Natalie’s heart pounded wildly when Shane called her his, and her eyes twinkled when she looked at his stern profile.
Although she knew Shane meant that professionally and not in any other way, her heart could not help but throb wildly.
