The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 634

Lincoln's tone and gaze changed the atmosphere. Celeste walked over and grabbed Shawn's arm. "What's gotten into you today?" she hissed.

Then, looking at Lincoln, she said, "Lincoln, don't be mad! He had a few too many drinks earlier. Maybe he's not thinking straight."

"Wait." Marcus suddenly spoke up. He smiled slightly and draped his arm over Natalie's shoulder. "Sweetheart, why don't we walk Mr. Haines to the door?"

"Hm?" Natalie was baffled. Wasn't she supposed to sing? What was going on now?

"Lincoln, are you mad?" She asked, staring at Lincoln. She felt that Shawn's actions were rather abrupt. After all, they had only met once and weren't even acquaintances, let alone friends.

"No." Lincoln's icy expression melted instantly. He smiled and replied, "Shawn is just in a hurry. He has to join the production team immediately."

Shawn's face turned pale. He had always considered himself good-looking and physically attractive. However, against Marcus, who was an absolute stunner, he didn't stand a chance.

Besides, Natalie didn't even know who he was. This one-sided crush of his was nothing but a solitary fantasy. He didn't even have the chance to voice it aloud.

"Marcus, why don't you and Nat see Shawn out?" Lincoln suggested, pouring himself a glass of water and taking a leisurely sip.

Though he had been managing Walker Group, he was still an artist. So, he still had to take care of his voice.

"Alright, Lincoln." Marcus held Natalie's hand and flashed a polite smile at Shawn. "Mr. Haines, after you."

Celeste sighed inwardly. Shawn had promised her he would attend this gathering to get closure and not cause any trouble. But he just couldn't hold back, could he?

If he offended Marcus, it would've been the same as throwing away his career in the entertainment industry.

Natalie wasn't foolish. After thinking about it for a moment, she finally understood the situation. She nodded slightly. "Okay."

Nothing was going on between her and Shawn. His actions might not have raised suspicion under normal circumstances, but to someone observant, it could easily be misleading.

Especially with a man like Marcus, who was prone to jealousy, Shawn's little stunt could've easily planted hundreds of imaginary scenarios between Natalie and Shawn in his mind.

Therefore, some things had to be made clear.

Shawn sobered up after hearing Lincoln's frosty words. He rubbed his temples and realized he had drunk too much and lost his composure.

How could he let others misunderstand and disrupt Natalie's life?

"I'm sorry. I drank too much and overstepped," Shawn said bitterly. "There's no need to see me off. I'll leave right now."

"Mr. Haines, allow us to do that," Natalie said. "You've been drinking. It's not safe for you to leave alone."

She then turned to Marcus. "Honey, let's walk Mr. Haines out as a favor for Lincoln, alright?"

When he heard her call him "honey" in front of so many people, Marcus almost floated away with joy. But he put on a poker face and nodded calmly. "Alright. Mr. Haines, this way, please."

Seeing that, Shawn knew that there was no point in refusing. He picked up his belongings and bid farewell to the others. Then, he turned and walked toward the exit.

After exiting the club, Natalie spoke first. "Mr. Haines, do we know each other?"

Shawn shook his head. "No, we don't."
