“Forget it.” Natalie already knew what he was going to say.
Disappointed by her rejection, Sean stared at her for a moment before saying, “Alright then. I was looking for an excuse to get you to go out with me but you wouldn’t even give me the time of day.”
Natalie chuckled half-heartedly without saying a word.
“Well… In my opinion, Shane is also in the wrong. As a CEO, he couldn’t even keep his subordinates in check. This kind of incident would definitely not happen on my watch.” There was a glint in his eyes when Sean said that.
His words seemed to pricked Natalie in the heart as she furrowed her brows. “Mr. Sean, this is where you are mistaken. The Thompson Group is one of the largest firm in the industry with a vast amount of employees. There is only so much a human is capable of handling. We cannot expect the CEO to know every employee like the back of his palm, can we?”
“You sure are taking his side in this matter. Could it be that you have fallen for him?” Sean asked with an intent look.
Natalie shook her head as she quickly denied Sean’s claims. “Mr. Sean, are you kidding? That’s impossible!”
“Oh really? Because it seems to me that you are very protective of him,” Sean continued while staring daggers at her.
“I’m only defending him because he is a great superior to me.” Natalie tilted her head to one side anxiously.
“Is that so…” Sean shot her a questioning look, seeming to doubt her answer.
“Anyway, you’d be looking for trouble if you fall for him. There is another woman who is more troublesome than Jasmine by his side,” Sean said with a smile after a brief pause.
More troublesome than Jasmine?
“Who do you mean?” Natalie blurted out.
Without responding to her question, Sean merely shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face.
It was only then did she realize that she had subconsciously expressed her interest in Shane. She lowered her head in embarrassment as she hurriedly changed the topic. “I have other matters to attend to, Mr. Sean. If there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave.”
“Don’t leave in such a hurry. Stay and chat with me for a little longer,” Sean said while holding her back.
