Chapter 640


    “Don''t worry. I know what to do,” Natalie assured Shane.


    After breakfast, she headed out.


    Golden Era Club was located in the city''s north. If she dallied any longer, she wouldn''t reach there by


    10 a.m.


    There was no telling what the man would do if she were to arrivete.


    At that thought, Natalie sped up and finally arrived at Golden Era Club at 9.50 a.m.


    The moment she stepped in, a server came to her. “Are you Ms. Smith?”


    Natalie was stunned, but she quickly regained herposure and nodded. “Yes.”


    “Mr. Sean is waiting for you in room 202. Pleasee with me.” The server signaled for Natalie to


    follow her.


    Natalie followed behind her.


    At the door, the server suddenly stopped her. “Ms. Smith, I''m afraid your bodyguards can''t follow you


    in.”

    Natalie knew her bodyguards were too ostentatious for Sean to let them in. Calmly, she nodded in


    response.


    “Wait for me at the door,” she turned and told the bodyguards.


    “Yes, Madam!” they replied in unison.


    Natalie nced at the server. “Done.”


    “Alright. Onest thing,” the server said with a polite smile.


    Natalie frowned. “What is it?”


    “I need to search your body to prevent you from bringing any electronic devices that could leak our


    client''s privacy.” The server whipped out a metal detector and scanned Natalie''s body.


    After confirming Natalie had none of those, she opened the door and said with a grin, “Ms. Smith, this


    way, please!”


    Natalie nced at her briefly before walking into the room.


    The room was dark, and ssical music was ying. Sean, seated on a couch, was swirling a


    winess in his handzily with his eyes closed.


    “Mr. Sean,” Natalie came to a stop behind his couch and greeted him.


    The man stopped swirling his winess and opened his eyes slowly.


    He wasn''t wearing sses, so his gaze was sharper than ever. It was like having a deadly viper


    targeting you.


    Natalie immediately looked away.


    Sean chuckled and nced at his watch. “It''s 9.58 a.m. Not bad. You aren''tte.”


    Natalie said nothing.


    Patting the empty space next to him, Sean invited her to take a seat. “Why are you standing there?


    Come, have a seat.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Sean.” Natalie thanked him before walking toward the couch.


    Instead of sitting where he indicated, she went to a single couch across from him so she could keep a


    distance from him.


    Sean noticed her action but took no notice of it. He finished his wine and ced the winess on the


    table. “What''s with your bodyguards? Clearly, they are from Thompson Group''s security department.


    Without Shane''s approval, they can''t leave thepany. Does Shane know about our meeting?”


    He stared straight at her.


    Calmly, Natalie met his gaze. “I don''t know. I told him I''m going to meet a difficult client, so he sent two


    bodyguards to protect me. They are outside and can''t see you. Don''t worry.”


    She was evidently calling him difficult indirectly. Instead of flying into a fit of rage, Sean''s lips curved


    into a smirk. He seemed extremely pleased. “I trust you, Nat. I know you dare not lie to me for the


    consequences are too much for you to bear.”


    Natalie''s gaze shifted downward quietly.


    Sean poured two sses of wine and handed one to Natalie.


    Natalie didn''t want to ept it, but she still took it out of courtesy. After they clinked sses, she


    pressed her lips to the ss and pretended to take a sip when she didn''t. “Mr. Sean, if you have


    questions, go ahead and ask them.”
