“Oh yes, I forgot to ask why you’re here, Mr. Shane.” Natalie finally remembered this question, and she stared at him.
After adjusting his cuffs, Shane replied, “I came over for an interview with a finance segment.”
“Oh, I see.” Natalie nodded in understanding. Then, she shifted her gaze to the door. “The security has probably left, yes?”
Instead of replying, Shane walked over to her. Under her baffled gaze, he abruptly bent down and grabbed the bottom of her dress before forcefully ripping it.
In the next moment, the sound of fabric ripping rang out. Natalie was entirely stunned even as she felt a chill assailing her. A long time passed before she finally snapped back to her senses. Opening her mouth, she demanded, “What are you doing, Mr. Shane?”
She gaped at the man in utter astonishment.
Why did he tear my dress out of the blue?
However, Shane didn’t answer her. After throwing away the piece of white chiffon strip he’d ripped off, he straightened. Then, he started unbuttoning his suit jacket.
Upon seeing this, Natalie’s petite face flamed at once, and she couldn’t help backing toward the door.
As her face turned increasingly flushed, she asserted in a shaky voice while retreating, “We’re at the television station, and this is someone else’s office, so please restrain yourself, Mr. Shane!”
“Restrain myself?” Shane quirked an eyebrow. When he then spotted the twin spots of red on her cheeks, he knew that she had misunderstood. Nonetheless, he stalked toward her after having slipped off his jacket. “What will you do if I refuse to do so?”
“I… I will…”
Before she’d finished speaking, Shane whipped his jacket over her head and draped it over her shoulders.
Startled, Natalie’s gaze shifted between the jacket and him, seemingly at a loss as to what he was trying to do.
Ruffling her hair, Shane explained, “While they didn’t see your countenance when you made your escape earlier, they certainly saw your dress. If you don’t make any changes to it, you’ll definitely be made.”
Upon hearing this, understanding instantly dawned upon Natalie.
So, he didn’t do all that because he wanted to force himself on me. Rather, it was to help me disguise my dressing!
Her face turned as red as an overly ripe tomato at once. However, it wasn’t because of shyness but mortification from her misguided thoughts.
But this isn’t entirely my fault! He’s also partly at fault for not explaining things from the beginning!
