Chapter 1368
It won''t be long now... In about a month, I''ll be in charge of the branch. I''ll also be a CEO by then. Once
I hire an assistant, I can show off Sal and me being all lovey-dovey in front of the assistant.
Half an hourter, the car rolled to a stop at Thompson vi.
Ss opened the door for Natalie.
After she got out of the car, she saw Mrs. Wilson racing out of the house excitedly.
“Oh, madam, you''re back!” Mrs. Wilson hurried down the steps and reached Natalie.
Natalie nodded. “Yes, I''m back, Mrs. Wilson.”
“That''s perfect. The kids have been missing you for the past two days. They would ask for you during
their meals. Even Mr. Shane was the same. He kept staring dazedly at your usual seat,” Mrs. Wilson
said.
Natalie arched her brow in curiosity. “Staring dazedly at my usual seat?”
I''m not surprised to hear the kids thinking and asking for me, but for Shane to stare dazedly at my
usual seat is surprising.
She looked over her shoulder and gave Shane an amused smile. “Darling, I didn''t know you missed me
so much that you would even stare at my usual seat.”
Shane didn''t expect Mrs. Wilson to catch him spacing out for the past two days and snitched to Natalie
about it. Giving a re in Mrs. Wilson''s direction, he coughed into his fist and turned his head to the
side. “No, I didn''t. Do I look like someone who will space out?”
“You weren''t before, but you are now.” Before Natalie could say anything, Mrs. Wilson beat her to it and
exposed him.
Carrying Natalie''s luggage from the trunk, Ss heard Mrs. Wilson''s tease and nodded fervently.
”That''s right, madam. I can attest to her words. Mr. Shane had been spacing out as he stared at your
photo in his office for the past two days.”
Shane didn''t expect Ss to betray him too. With a frown, he red at Ss.
With Natalie there, Ss wasn''t scared of him. Since Ss'' girlfriend was Natalie''s friend, he was bold
enough to snitch on Shane. He looked up at the sky, ignoring Shane''s warning re.
The corner of Shane''s lips twitched in frustration.
Fine! I''ll deal with himter for betraying me.
“Darling, it looks like Mrs. Wilson wasn''t the only witness. Mr. Campbell saw it too. Will you admit to
their im now? You can always say you miss me. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I missed
you too for the past two days.” Natalie shed him a smile before wrapping her arms around his waist.
Her arms snaked up to circle the back of his neck as she asked, “So, do you miss me or not?”
Shane chuckled at the anticipation in her eyes. Circling his arms around her waist, he answered, “I do.”
“Was it a lie then? About you spacing out while thinking about me.”
“It''s the truth.” Shane nodded.
Whatever. Since Ss and Mrs. Wilson had already exposed me, I might as well admit it.
Natalie''s smile grew wider. “You did well. You should have admitted to it in the first ce. I''m touched.
After all, you spacing out with me in your thoughts shows just how important I am to you.”
“You''re absolutely right, madam.” Mrs. Wilson nodded. “Mr. Shane has been feeling down when you
weren''t around. Sometimes, he would even get all nervous and worried. I imagined those were the
traumatic experience left by Sean taking you away previously. He would be like that when you
weren''t around for long periods.”
Natalie''s smile stiffened at Mrs. Wilson''s exnation. She cast a guilty nce at Shane. “I''m sorry,
Darling, for making you worry.”
“It''s fine. It''ll stop once Sean is caught.”

After all, there''s arge organization behind Sean. Even if Natalie has bodyguards protecting her, it''s
not a fool-proof n. Sean might find a loophole and hurt her. That was why I was so worried. Luckily,
two days passed, and she returned safe and sound.
“All right. Let''s stop here and go in first. It''s cold outside.” Shane pulled thepels of Natalie''s coat
tighter around her.
Natalie nodded. “Right, let''s go in.”
