Natalie bowed slightly. “Thanks for your help, Mr. Shane.”
Shane flung the used tissue onto the table. “No problem. If you meet this sort of person again, just make them go away.”
“I know. Unfortunately, this is a meeting room. If I did that, the other party might have caused a scene. If it turned into a full-fledged argument, I would’ve left an awful impression of my company. That was why I held in my temper. If this happened elsewhere, however, I would have unleashed my anger on him straight away,” Natalie replied, smiling slightly.
Shane expressed his agreement. Sticking his hands into his pockets again, he sat down next to her.
Natalie noticed that he had sat down on the man’s seat, which was right next to hers. She pursed her lips again. Picking up her notebook, she got up and went to sit elsewhere.
Seeing this, Shane’s face clouded over. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “Where are you going?”
Natalie stopped in her tracks. Without turning around, she looked down and replied, “I’m going to sit somewhere else.”
Shane clenched his hands into fists in his pockets. “What’s wrong with this seat here?”
Natalie bit her lip and said, “I’m afraid I might disturb you if I sit there, Mr. Shane. I think it’d be better if I moved somewhere else.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked her pace and zoomed to another seat a few rows ahead of him.
Shane looked at her back, his face as cold as ice. The threatening aura he was radiating made the people around him shiver with fright and move a few seats away, too.
Silas came into the room with a file of documents in hand. Seeing the frosty expression on Shane’s face, he felt a little stunned. “Mr. Shane, who got on your nerves this time?”
Shane didn’t say anything. He took the file from Silas’s hands and started flipping through its contents.
Silas never found an answer to his question. He shrugged and sat down next to Shane. “Mr. Shane, the meeting has started.”
Shane clapped the file shut and leaned back into his chair as he looked towards the front of the room.
