He had promised Connor that he would bear the responsibility until the end. And it was his obligation to take her to the hospital.
“Oh, you don’t have to trouble yourself.” Waving her hand, Natalie revealed, “I’ve already taken the shot.”
“You did?” Shane frowned.
Natalie mumbled an affirmative and explained, “Stanley is a doctor. He has given the shot last night.”
So it was him, again!
Recalling the man he had met last night, Shane pursed his lips as his voice turned cold. “Off you go then. Also, get Jasmine to come up.”
“Sure thing!” Natalie jovially replied as she turned around and left, not caring or even noticing the change in his attitude.
Ten plus minutes later, Jasmine appeared before Shane nervously. “Shane…”
“Can you not target Natalie from now on? Your blatant immaturity irks me. Stop it,” Shane said in a deep tone as he purposely glared at her.
In fact, since yesterday in the warehouse, he had noticed that she was hostile towards Natalie. He had no idea where the source of the hostility sprung from.
However, now that he knew that one of them was the illegitimate daughter while the other was the product of actual proper marriage, he wondered how the two of them could ever reconcile. Therefore, he could understand the reasons why she targeted Natalie specifically.
But he could not tolerate someone using work duties to oppress others, especially Natalie. Such unprofessional conduct!
“I’m not targeting her. As she’s not our full-time employee of our company, I’m worried that letting her having access to such important information may be detrimental to us. What if she…”
“Do you really think so?” Shane interrupted Jasmine as he stared at her with his hawk eyes.
Jasmine felt a little ashamed, having been seen through by Shane. After all, he had seen her ugliest side. She avoided his stare and slinked back.
He retracted his stare and reminded, “She is the backup help I invited to the company under the recommendation of Mr. Moore. Suspecting her means you are suspecting Mr. Moore and me. So put away your schemes and shenanigans, or I’ll have you sent back to your own studio. After all, I simply can’t tolerate unprofessional conduct.”
Upon hearing this, Jasmine became anxious.
She already had very few opportunities to meet him. If she were to be sent back to her studio, the chances of them meeting up would be even less.
How then could she cultivate a relationship with him?
Fearing that probable outcome, Jasmine could only squeeze her hands and relented. “I get what you mean. From now on, I shall not target her.”
She would not do anything to Natalie in front of everyone but she made no guarantees or promises if she were to sabotage her behind everyone’s back.
