Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 226

As Shane watched the door of the elevator slowly close upon Natalie’s reserved and withdrawn demeanor, the hand in his pocket gripped against itself.

She was deliberately distancing herself from me!

Even though he understood why, it did not feel good to have her treat him that way.

Inside the elevator, Joyce looked at Natalie. “Nat, has something happened? Why do I get the feeling that you are treating Mr. Shane rather aloofly?”

Natalie’s eyes flickered as she evoked a subdued smile. “I used to work under him, but not anymore. We’re just acquaintances now, so nothing could possibly have happened.”

“But I keep thinking that there’s some kind of awkwardness between you both. It’s almost like you are keeping your distance from him.” Joyce said as she primped her hair.

Natalie nodded. “That’s right. He’s a man who is engaged to be married. Should I not keep my distance from him?”

“Well…” Joyce was rendered speechless.

She then poked at Joyce’s face. “Enough of the gossip. You better take care of that or it might leave behind scars.”

“What?” Joyce then fished out a pocket mirror from her bag to examine her own reflection.

She let out a blood-curdling scream when she saw the streaks of semi-dried blood left behind on her face by Jasmine’s nails.

Natalie plugged her own ears. “What are you doing?”

Joyce was so angry that the flush from her face bled into her eyes. “That b*tch had the gall to mess up my face. Curses!”

Natalie was bemused. “Well, you did her a number too, so consider it even. Alright, we are here. Let’s head to the infirmary.”

“Alright.” Joyce nodded as she put her mirror away and helped Natalie out.

It was past noon after they have both tended to their respective injuries.

Joyce dropped Natalie back at the hospital before returning to the studio on her own.
