Before Natalie could reply, Hannah threw her a look full of contempt.
Natalie was not at all intimidated by the woman, and deliberately replied, “I’m not alone. My boyfriend is here to pick me up.”
Trix’s jaw dropped from the surprise. “You have a boyfriend now?”
“Yeah,” she replied, before turning around to the front, “And he’s here.”
Hannah and Trix traced her gaze.
In the midst of rain, the two of them noticed a slender man making his way over clutching a big black umbrella with a coat draped over his arms.
The man stopped in his tracks after reaching the stairs the three of them were standing at. Then, he slowly lifted the umbrella to reveal his dashing face.
“Shane,” Natalie called out to the man.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting,” the man replied, slightly parting his thin lips.
“Not at all.” Natalie shook her head.
Trix had only found the man’s face to be really familiar, but after Natalie addressed the man as Shane, Trix was hit by sudden realization. “Mr. Shane?”
The CEO of the Thompson Group, Shane Thompson, is actually Natalie’s boyfriend?
Hannah did not recognize Shane, but after noticing that her own boyfriend addressed him with respect, she knew that the man was not someone to be taken lightly. At the very least, he had to be someone on par with Trix’s father. He is so handsome though.
For a moment, Hannah felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy consuming her.
Back in their university days, she had already lost to Natalie. Just when she thought she had beaten her now; Natalie went ahead and one-upped on her in the boyfriend department.
Am I never going to surpass this woman my whole life?
With the thought in mind, Hannah glowered at Natalie.
Noticing Hannah’s demeanor, Natalie pursed her lips disapprovingly. Something is not quite right with this woman.
All of a sudden, Trix fished out a name card from and dashed down the stairs in the rain to catch up to Shane. With both hands, the man handed out his name card respectfully to the latter and said, “Hello, Mr. Shane.”
