After washing up, she headed downstairs to pour herself some water when she heard voices. It was Jackson and Jacqueline.
“Dr. Baker,” greeted Natalie as she walked down the stairs.
In response, Jackson smiled back at her.
She then looked at Jacqueline, “You sent Ms. Graham back?”
“Yeah,” replied Jackson as he nodded.
Although Jacqueline could not see Natalie, she could roughly make out where Natalie was, based on her voice. Thus, she turned toward Natalie and said, “It’s late, Ms. Smith. You haven’t slept?”
“Not yet. I’m drawing out some blueprints,” Natalie replied.
Jacqueline nodded. “I see.”
After that, she did not ask any more questions.
“Come, Jacqueline. I’ll take you back to your room,” said Jackson as he helped her up.
Jacqueline did not refuse, she slowly headed upstairs with his help.
Natalie watched their backs as they went upstairs. Although they matched each other well, something still felt a little weird.
Since Jackson loved Jacqueline so much, he was very cautious while helping her.
However, although Jacqueline was technically together with him, she was still somewhat alienated in her words and actions.
Anyway, no matter what, it’s none of my business.
As she continued to ponder, Natalie looked away from the pair and poured herself a glass of water. Then, she turned to head back to the room.
Just as she reached the stairs, Jackson came back down.
“Are you leaving, Dr. Baker?” she asked.
He nodded. “Yeah, it’s getting late. I should head home.”
“Get home safely,” she replied and smiled.
After thanking her, he then turned to leave.
However, after a few steps, he seemed to have remembered something, for he paused and said, “By the way, Ms. Smith.”
“Hm?” Natalie turned behind to look at him. “Is there something else?”
“Not much. I just wanted to tell you that I’m renovating my villa as fast as I can. Once the furniture Jacqueline likes arrives, I’ll take her over to my place,” he said before he left.
She raised her eyebrows, then smiled as she headed back to her room.
