Shane walked over to his desk and interrupted the two as they apologized to each other. “It was an accident. Just be more careful next time. You may head out now, Silas. Please bring me fresh copies of these documents later.”
“Yes, sir.” Silas nodded and removed the soaked documents.
Only Shane and Natalie were left in the office.
Natalie picked up the document that Shane handed to her previously and studied it. After she was done, the woman pointed to one side of the document and said, “Mr. Shane, I think this material should do. I’d suggest that we make a figurine out of it to get a more comprehensive overview. Even though it’s not as premium as the material I targeted but I think it shouldn’t make too much of a difference.”
Shane took a look and nodded his head slightly. “Sure. Let’s go with this, then. I’ll ask the gaming company to contact you. The balance of your payment will be wired to you before noon tomorrow.”
“Noted, Mr. Shane.” Natalie nodded and smiled.
Shane kept all the documents sprawled on the desk.
Natalie noticed the time on the lower right of the man’s computer with the corner of her eyes. She got up to bid goodbye. “Mr. Shane, it’s getting late. I should go to the kindergarten to fetch my children.”
“Let’s go together,” said Shane as he closed his drawer.
Natalie was stumped. “Mr. Shane, it’s still not the time for you to get off work right?”
The man would send the kids to the kindergarten in the morning these days while she was in charge of fetching them home in the evening.
Shane took his coat and said, “I’m going back to the apartment to take my passport for tomorrow’s overseas trip. It’s just along the way anyway.”
“Overseas trip?” Natalie was taken aback.
Shane put on his coat and stood up. “A jewelry company under the Thompson Group has lost a batch of jade stones. I’m going to the quarry to check it out myself.”
“Oh, I see.” Natalie nodded.
As he made his way over to his office’s entrance, Shane mentioned, “So I won’t be able to get the kids to the kindergarten in the coming two days.”
“No problem. I can send them myself. Besides, since you’ve been sending them to school recently, and the other kids should have seen you. They won’t make fun of the twins for not having a father anymore,” Natalie trailed behind him and joked.
