Chapter 551
Upon hearing that, Joyce pursed her lips. “And when will that be? What if you guys forget about it?”
“That won’t happen.” Natalie smiled before her eyesnded on the file in her friend’s hand. “What’s that?”
“Oh. It’s the textile mill’s inventory count. Since it’s almost the end of the year, I thought I’ll let you check
whether there are any omissions or any unauthorized tampering by the employees.” As Joyce spoke,
she handed the file to Natalie.

After taking the file over, Natalie scanned through it before cing it down. “Got it. I’ll get to itter. For
now, please help me buy everyone the wedding favors.”
“On it,” replied Joyce as she turned to leave.
However, she had only taken a few steps when Natalie suddenly called out, “Joyce.”
She turned her head in confusion. “Yes?”
Natalie hesitated for a minute before shaking her head. “It’s nothing. You can carry on.”
“That was weird,” Joyce mumbled under her breath before exiting the office.
When she was out of view, a sigh escaped from Natalie’s mouth.
She actually wanted to ask Joyce what she would do if she learned that Stanley could have something to
do with, and was protecting the person who had burned down the warehouse and kidnapped her.
Would she believe me? Or would she choose to stand on Stanley’s side?
However, she decided against voicing out her question because she knew that it would put Joyce in a
tough spot.
I’ll just let it be.
With that thought in mind, Natalie took the file from earlier and began reading them more thoroughly.
At noon, the news of Thompson Group’s chairman getting married was quickly spread all over the
inte, shocking the world.
The reason being Shane had not posted anything in ages, yet the moment he did, it was of two marriage
certificates. This made people realize that he was not ying around.
In a short period, the news had be a trending topic.
Initially, Natalie had no clue about this, but Joyce had informed her.
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Shane would publicize this matter,” uttered Joyce as she looked through the
comments.
“Yeah, that makes the two of us.” Natalie nodded.
Hearing that, Joyce shifted her attention to Natalie. “You didn’t foresee he’d do this even though you’re
his wife?” she questioned, to which the other woman only shrugged as a response.
I thought he only took that picture to keep it as a memory. He never posts anything, anyway, so how
could I have known that he’d post this?
“But why didn’t he reveal your identity? Now everyone’s wondering who his wife is.” Joyce showed
Natalie her phone.
Thetter threw it a nce before replying, “I asked him not to.”
“Why?” questioned Joyce, feeling somewhat puzzled.
“Why else?” Natalie rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to deal with reporters every day.”
Joyce was tongue-tied after hearing that and she nodded before eximing, “I guess that’s reasonable.
Reporters are annoying as hell. They definitely won’t let you go if they find out that you’re his wife,
especially since there were rumors about you and him before.”
“Exactly,” Natalie agreed. “That’s why I wanna hide it for now. Maybe I’ll make it known after the wedding
ceremony.”
When Joyce was about to reply to her, Natalie’s phone rang out of the blue, interrupting her.
Apologizing, Natalie took out her phone. Her expression was indecipherable when she saw the name on
the screen, which did not go unnoticed by Joyce.
“Who is it?” Curious, Joyce leaned over to peek at Natalie’s phone.
Seeing that it was Stanley, her expression turned gloomy. “Why aren’t you answering?” she asked,
forcing a smile.
Natalie bit on her lip. “What about-”
As if knowing what her friend was trying to say, Joyce waved her hand with a smile. “What about what?
Just answer the call, Nat. He probably wants to talk about the news of you getting married.”
