“I see.” Natalie nodded in comprehension. She felt rather excited at the possibilities of this fabric should it come to fruition. “What kind of fabric is it?” She asked curiously.
“Rumor has it that it has photo reflective qualities,” Silas explained as he recalled his first interaction with the prototype. “If its production is successful, it could be used to achieve some degree of invisibility.”
“Invisibility?” Natalie exhaled in excitement. However, a frown soon creased her brows. “If that’s the case, its applications are potentially endless. It wouldn’t be confined to the fashion industry anymore. It would be useful for swimming pools, and even the military…”
Natalie pointed upwards as everybody nodded wordlessly, suddenly aware of the ominous possibility of being under surveillance.
Silas’s expression was serious. “That’s right. That is why the meeting today is of utmost importance. There will be a high-ranking governmental official in attendance as well.”
With the immense possibilities of this newly discovered fabric, the government would never allow the private sector to manufacture it if it were not properly disclosed through the proper channels.
“Alright, Natalie. Why don’t you have a seat in my office while I attend the meeting,” said Shane as he turned off his computer and got to his feet.
“I was hoping to go down to the design department and meet some old colleagues.” Natalie shrugged. “I’ll head straight to work after that.”
“That sounds fine too.” Shane nodded without attempting to force her. He then turned to leave with Silas.
“Wait,” Natalie called out suddenly.
“What is it?” Shane stopped in his tracks and turned around.
“Your tie is crooked,” Natalie pointed out as she walked up to Shane to adjust it for him.
“That looks good.” Natalie stepped back after she was done, out of Shane and Silas’s way.
Seized by an impulse, Shane grabbed her suddenly by the waist and hugged her.
“What are you doing?” Natalie cried as she stiffened up.
Shane did not answer. He gazed at her red lips and kissed them passionately.
Natalie was stunned as she was not prepared for him to kiss her like that.
Silas was as stunned as Natalie. He stared at the couple with his jaw hanging wide open.
I haven’t even managed to excuse myself and these two are already going at it! I don’t think they even care that I’m still in the room!
Silas rolled his eyes at that thought.
