“Of course it is.” Natalie held Joyce’s hand. “Don’t forget you were his fiancée once. We both know Stanley well. If he didn’t have any feelings for you, he wouldn’t have gotten engaged with you in the first place, even with both your parents’ blessings. So now, what you need to do is clear the misunderstandings between you two.”
“Clear the misunderstandings?” Joyce’s eyes lit up.
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded. ”Misunderstandings are the reason why the two of you broken apart. Maybe if they are resolved, you’ll be able to get back with him.”
“Do you really think so?” The possibility of getting back with Stanley made Joyce doubt herself so much that she gripped her pants tightly, which did not go unnoticed by Natalie.
The latter cupped her face with both her hands and stared at her intently. “You gotta have faith in yourself.”
After receiving Natalie’s encouragement, Joyce’s self-doubt disappeared. “Okay. I’ll try.”
“You can do it. Don’t leave any regrets.” Natalie pulled her hands back.
“Yeah. Thanks, Nat.”
“All right.” Natalie ruffled her friend’s hair. “We should get back to work.”
“Okay. I’ll head to the textile mill first. Tomorrow, I’ll fly abroad to find out what truly happened back then.” Joyce stood up and balled her fingers into fists.
Since that incident happened overseas, I might as well start investigating there.
“I’ll stand by you,” said Natalie while patting Joyce’s shoulder.
With that, Joyce flashed her friend one last smile before exiting the office, leaving Natalie with her work.
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and Shane had arrived on time.
Turning off her computer, Natalie grabbed her bag and headed straight to the Bentley that was parked on the side, passing by an employee on her way.
“Ms. Smith, is that your husband here to pick you up?” asked the employee with a smile.
After getting into the passenger seat, Natalie rolled down the window, threw a shy glance at Shane before replying, “Yes, it is.”
“You look really happy.”
“Thanks,” exclaimed Natalie as she ran her fingers through her hair. “Well, we’ll get going first.”
“Okay. Have a safe drive.” The employee waved her hand.
