Shane placed the phone to his ear and conversed with Jacqueline Graham.
After he hung up, he headed to a private room.
When he walked past the resting area in the lobby, he caught a glimpse of Natalie and Stanley sitting beside each other on the couch.
She was holding a bag filled with ice and holding it on Stanley’s face. The latter seemed to be enjoying himself.
That sight revolted Shane.
On the plane, she was helping me to ice my face. Now she’s doing another man that favor? Wow. She sure is busy.
Shane made no attempt to hide his glare. Natalie felt as though someone was scrutinizing her and turned around.
Her gaze was met with Shane’s menacing glare, and that sent chills down her spine.
Apart from the hostility, there was this indescribable look in his eyes that she could not seem to fathom.
“Mr. Shane!” Natalie called as she waved to him.
Her greeting prompted Stanley to open one eye to glance at Shane.
However, Shane responded with a deadpan expression and walked away without a word.
Natalie’s hand was left hanging in the air before she awkwardly kept it. “I think Mr. Shane is peeved by me.”
“Really? I don’t think so. Isn’t he always like this?” retorted Stanley as he sneered.
She shook her head dejectedly. For a moment, she looked as though she wanted to say something. But she just heaved a huge sigh and carried on with applying the cold compress to Stanley’s face.
When she was almost done, they headed for dinner.
The next day, the Hill family sent someone over to pick them up.
The wedding of the Hill family’s successor was set to be on a cruise ship. Even though the ceremony was in the afternoon the next day, there was a ball that night, so all the guests boarded the ship a day earlier.
Upon arriving at the pier, the first sight that Natalie caught was the gargantuan cruise ship that was docked at the harbor. It was an impressive sight.
“It’s huge!” Natalie exclaimed as she marveled in awe.
