A couple?
Shane pursed his thin lips tightly. That particular phrase sounded extremely harsh in his ears.
Despite Natalie’s rising anger, she steadied herself and rushed to explain, “Ms. Jasmine, you’re mistaken. I am not familiar at all with Mr. Sean!”
As she spoke, she did not know what came over her, but she snuck a peek at Shane, somehow not wanting him to misconstrue whatever was going on between Sean and herself.
However, Shane’s face had gone cold and void of expressions. She could not tell whether he truly believed in Jasmine’s lie or not. For a moment, she felt a hint of disappointment.
“Nat, I know you’re still mad at me.” Sean’s eyes suddenly dimmed, a wry smile hanging on his face.
This got Natalie stunned and confused. “What are you talking about? Mad about what?”
“I left you without a word back then. I’ve abandoned you, so…”
“Enough!” Shane bolted upright from where he was seated at the head of the table, his eyes brimming with anger.
Back then… So, Sean was the one who had eloped with Natalie back then. No wonder Connor resembles me so much. That’s because I’m Sean’s cousin. Of course, his son would look similar to me.
“Shane, what’s the matter with you?” Jasmine asked, concerned while pretending not to know why he was overreacting.
Shane ignored her as his sharp, icy glare swept across Natalie and Sean. Void of emotion, he proclaimed, “This is the Thompson Group. Not a public platform for you to flirt around!”
He’s definitely got the wrong idea!
Natalie bit her lower lip. “Mr. Shane, I’m not…”
“You’re right. Nat and I should take it outside.” Not waiting for Natalie to finish her sentence, Sean dragged her towards the door.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” Natalie shouted unwillingly as she attempted to free herself.
But Sean’s grip on her wrist was so tight, so she could not shake it off.
And so, she was taken out of the conference room just like that.
