Then, Natalie brushed past her and walked away.
However, Annie clenched her fists and called after her, “Wait a moment!”
Stopping in her tracks, Natalie asked, “What’s the matter, Ms. Hill?”
Annie turned around and stared at her with a determined gaze. “Although I’ve been rejected by Dr. Quinn again, my resolve remains the same. I will not give up on him.”
When Natalie heard that, she lowered her head and broke into a chuckle. “Okay! Try your best, then.”
“Of course I will. I know that you don’t even love Dr. Quinn. The one you love is Mr. Shane. Back in the ward, you gazed at Mr. Shane in the exact same manner as I did when I look at Dr. Quinn. I don’t know why you’re together with him, but it doesn’t matter!”
Staring intently at Natalie, Annie declared confidently, “I’ll snatch Dr. Quinn away from you because you don’t deserve him!”
Smiling, Natalie patted her shoulder. “I’ll be waiting, then.”
With that, she walked past Annie and left.
Her smile only faded after she took a few more steps. An anxious expression appeared on her face instead.
Are my feelings for Shane so obvious now? Even Ms. Hill noticed it.
In that case, did anyone else discover it?
Annie gazed at Natalie’s back. She felt discouraged, feeling like she did not manage to affect her at all.
In the end, she stomped on the ground angrily and entered the lift.
The lift lobby resumed its initial silence again. At that moment, someone appeared from a corner, his face filled with excitement. “Oh my God! What did I just hear? Turns out that Ms. Smith loves Mr. Shane. This is great. He’ll be overjoyed to hear this, right?”
As he thought about that, he hurriedly strode toward the presidential suite on the cruise.
Shane was sitting at the desk and reviewing the emails sent by the company. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he frowned. “Come in.”
Silas pushed the door open and entered.
