Chapter 567

Chapter 567Natalie massaged the space between her brows. “Sure, Ms. Graham. I believe you.”
“Liar,” Joyce mouthed at Natalie.
Natalie winked at her.
She had to admit that she was indeed lying. As if I would believe Jacqueline!
After all, Joyce managed to catch Jacqueline's true meaning behind her words. As such, there was no
way Natalie would miss it.
However, Jacqueline thought Natalie really fell for it and smiled happily. “I'm glad you believe me.”
“Don't betray her trust, got that?” Joyce cut in once again.
Jacqueline stiffened before frowning. Her tone was bright despite her actual mood. “What do you mean
by that?”
“What I mean is for you to not hurt yourself again just to snatch Mr. Shane away from Nat.
Understood?”
Joyce narrowed her eyes as she continued, “Mr. Shane and Nat are married now, so please know your
place. Don't do what you did last night again. If you do, I'll just have to assume that you're trying to
snatch Mr. Shane away from Nat.”
Jacqueline was rendered speechless and unable to refute her words.
After all, any answer she give would sound too defensive.
Natalie gave Joyce a big thumbs up.The latter tilted her chin at Natalie proudly.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookShe shook her head in response before saying, “Don't worry, Ms. Graham. Joyce always says things
like that, so don't take it to heart, okay?”
“I know. I won't.” Jacqueline tried to squeeze out a smile.
Natalie massaged her sore shoulders. “Ms. Graham, will that be all? If so, I'll be hanging up now. I have
work to do.”
“That's all,” Jacqueline answered as she looked down with an unreadable glint in her eyes.
Natalie hummed in response and instantly hung up without saying goodbye.
Joyce stood up and stretched. “Okay, I've got to get busy too. I got my visa from the Embassy, and I
need to go pick it up.”
“When are you planning on visiting Stanley?” Natalie asked.
Joyce's expression darkened slightly. “Probably tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, then I won't be sending you to the airport.” Natalie stood up as well and patted her friend on the
shoulder.
Joyce nodded. “I know. You have the trial for your mother and that deadbeat dad of yours tomorrow, so
don't worry about me.”
She pointed at the door, indicating that she was about to leave.
Natalie nodded and retracted her hand.
With that, Joyce turned to leave.The office door closed once again. Natalie took a gulp of water before sitting down and going back to
work.
She worked until about four o'clock in the afternoon and turned off her computer, planning to go pick up
her kids. Suddenly, she heard a loud clamor outside the office.

What's going on?
She stood up and walked toward the door curiously. Just as she was about to open the door, someone
knocked on it loudly.
Natalie jumped slightly in fright before calming herself down and opening the door.
The moment she opened the door, she was taken aback. Staring blankly at the man outside her door,
she asked, “What are you doing here?”
The man standing right outside her door was none other than Shane.
This was the first time he had come to her company.
“I'm here to pick you up,” Shane said gently as he looked at Natalie.
“Pick me up?” Natalie raised her eyebrow as she chuckled inwardly.
As if he doesn't know what would happen if he came here!Natalie looked at the other workers and designers behind him with shock on their faces and instantly
felt a headache coming on.
She had kept it a secret this whole time and never answered when people asked who she was married
to because she wanted to keep things low-key. She hadn't imagined that Shane would personally come
and cause a scene.
“What's wrong?” He frowned at the sight of Natalie's bitter smile and reached out worriedly to feel her
forehead.
The people behind him all covered their mouths in glee at the sudden scene of affection.
“I'm fine,” Natalie said with a light chuckle as she took Shane's hand off her forehead.
