He pressed his lips together at her hot and cold attitude towards him, depending on the situation. His expression darkened as he entered the waiting room.
Shane took a seat opposite Natalie. “Congratulation on today’s competition.”
Natalie was pulled back to reality from her deep thoughts when she heard him. Her eyes widened in response. “Mr. Shane, you watched the live stream?”
“There is another designer from the Thompson Group who entered the competition, naturally I would have to watch since I’m the boss.” Shane poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of her.
Natalie thanked him and took a sip of water. “But I remembered that designer from the Thompson Group was eliminated in the third round.”
She was insinuating there weren’t any of his employees in the competition that day, so why was he watching it?
Shane was taken aback by her sharp reply, then quickly faked a cough to mask his reaction. “It seemed you remembered my employees very clearly.”
“I remember every participant.” Natalie lowered her head to avoid his gaze. She was afraid that he might notice the guilt in her eyes.
She couldn’t have said that she paid special attention to that designer because of him.
“Fair enough. Will you be selling your designs?” Shane stopped his teasing and asked her seriously.
Natalie shook her head regretfully. “I’ve already sold them off.”
“Is that so?” Shane frowned with regret.
At that moment, the interrogator entered the waiting room.
Natalie put down her glass of water and stood up swiftly. “Officer, has the interrogation ended?”
“Yes, it has.” He passed the results to her. “This was Ms. Brown’s confession. She was jealous of you because she likes Mr. Shane, so she used the remaining money left by the Brown family to hire an assassin to kill you.”
Natalie was skimming through Alice’s confession while listening to him. Her brows were knitted into a frown when she finished reading.
Noticing her frown, Shane got up as well. “What’s wrong?”
Natalie glanced at him then passed the document to him. “It stated that Alice tried to kill me because she wanted to marry you. I was confused by this statement. If she wants to marry you, what was the point in killing me? She should have targeted Jasmine instead. Wasn’t Jasmine your fiancée at that time? Don’t you think killing Jasmine would help her accomplished that goal?”
