Chapter 148Chapter 148Suddenly, a waiter accidentally spilled a bowl of soup on Natalie’s arm.
Shane stood up, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her to his chest.
Natalie just leaned quietly against his chest, not knowing what just happened.
All the guests were dumbfounded.
They realized what actually happened only when the waiter repeatedly apologized for almost spilling
the soup on Natalie.
“It’s fine. You can go out now.” Shane did not blame the waiter as he could tell he did not do it on
purpose. Nonetheless, he was still a little annoyed by the incident.
The waiter immediately thanked him and left the private room.
Shane released Natalie from his embrace and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.” Natalie nodded.
Shane’s expression softened upon hearing that.
“It looks like you really love your fiancée,” one of the critics remarked.
Natalie instantly felt awkward and wanted to clarify, but before she could speak, Shane interrupted and
said, “Thank you.”Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookNatalie was stunned for moment. “Mr. Shane...”
Once again, Shane interrupted her. “No point wasting your time and energy explaining this kind of
thing. The more you explain, the more confused and suspicious they would become.”
Natalie nodded gently. “You’re right.”
“Drink this.” Shane then placed a glass of fruit juice in front of her.
Natalie looked at the drink. “Orange juice?”
“You had some wine yesterday, so no wine for you today. I don’t want you to vomit and dirty my car.”
Shane said casually while taking a sip of red wine from his glass.
Natalie blushed, and she lowered her head and cleared her throat. “Please excuse me. I need to go to
the washroom.”
She then walked out of the private room.
When she was about the return after using the washroom, she saw a familiar figure walking along the
other end of the corridor.
“Jasmine?”
A line formed between Natalie’s brows. What is she doing here?
And why is she sneaking around here? She better not be doing something shady.
Natalie bit lips. She hesitated for a moment but decided to go and check it out.
Yet, by the time she reached the end of the corridor, Jasmine had disappeared.“Where’s she?’ Natalie mumbled.
There were no private rooms or booths here, just an elevator and an emergency exit. I don’t see her.
Probably she has left.
Natalie sighed in disappointment and was ready to return to the private room.
But at this moment, Jasmine’s voice emerged from the emergency exit, “Where’s the stuff?”
Natalie immediately turned around and approached the exit.
She heard a man responding to her question. “Right here.”
“Give it to me. Quick!” Jasmine looked at the bottle dangling in the man’s hand and could not wait to
get her hands on it.
Just when she was about to grab the bottle, the man suddenly pulled it away from her.
Jasmine’s expression changed right away. “Excuse me?”
The man smirked. “Calm down, sweetie. I’ll give it to you, don’t worry, but...”
He sized her up with a lecherous look.
Jasmine knew what he wanted. She lowered her eyes and tried to hide her disgust. “Don’t you dare
think about it. I’m Shane Thompson’s fiancée, mind you.”
“So? We had sex before, remember?” the man said matter-of-factly.
Natalie was absolutely dumbfounded. She had to cover her mouth to avoid making any sound.
Oh my God!Jasmine has cheated on Shane!
“It was an accident. I was drunk,” Jasmine clenched her fist and roared.
The man sneered. “Yeah, right. You just needed an excuse to sleep with a man because you were too
lonely.”
Jasmine was about to explode with rage.
The man waved his hand in the air. “Shush, enough of this drama. Spend a night with me, or else...”
