Chapter 797


    Just then, Ss’s voice rang out, “Madam.”


    The women shifted their gazes to see Shane and Ss walking toward them.


    Sally let go of Natalie’s shoulder and smiled impishly. “Nat, Mr. Shane is here.”


    Natalie rolled her eyes. “I see that, thanks.”


    Stifling a smile, Sally and Joyce retreated a few steps, allowing the couple some privacy.


    Jessie and Hannah, on the other hand, did not intend to move their feet. Both their gazes fell on Shane.


    Hannah’s eyes shone with unfiltered greed when she looked at the man, whereas Jessie’s eyes were


    filled with admiration.


    Underneath the admiration was a less perceptible longing that had quickly disappeared from her eyes.


    “There’s was a bit of traffic on the way. Sorry to have kept you waiting,” uttered Shane.


    Natalie shook her head. “That’s alright. You’re here now.”


    The man pulled her into his arms and said, “I’ll watch thepetition. Take good care while you’re over


    there and give me a call if anything happens.”


    “Stop worrying. I’m no longer a child,” Natalie said with a smile.


    Shane kissed her forehead. “I’ll video call you every night. Be sure to miss me.”


    “Okay.” Her grin broadened at that.


    “Don’t you want me to miss you too?” The man looked intently at her.


    Cracking up at his response, she replied, “Sure. You’ve got to miss me, too.”


    Shane nodded in satisfaction at her answer. “I will.”


    In the meantime, Joyce and Sally were busy chattering away on the side.


    “I envy them. They’re so in love.”


    Joyce rolled her eyes. “That’s because you didn’t witness what happened before this when they were


    almost broken up.”


    “What happened?” Sally gasped.


    Joyce merely shook her head, not bothering to answer.


    On the other side, both Jessie and Hannah were disgruntled.

    As though trying to suppress an emotion, Jessie’s hands slowly balled up into fists as she watched the


    affectionate exchanges between the couple.


    Hannah’s expression was more unambiguous — her eyes were filled with pure jealousy. She resented


    the fact that Natalie had someone as remarkable as Shane by her side.


    I can tell this manes from an extraordinary background. In which case, all I need to do is to snatch


    him from Natalie. That ought to teach her a lesson. Men are all the same. Sooner orter, they all fall


    prey to my seduction.


    With a new wave of confidence, Hannah smoothed her hair and strode confidently toward Shane with a


    broad grin on her face.


    Sally raised her brows. “What’s she doing?”


    The corner of Joyce’s lips curled up into a smirk. “Isn’t it obvious? Wait and see. You’re gonna enjoy


    the show.”


    “Mr. Thompson.” Hannah shot Natalie a look before turning to Shane. “Hi, my name is Hannah. I was


    Nat’s ssmate and roommate back in J University. Do you remember me?” the woman asked shyly.


    Shane furrowed his brows and kept silent.


    By this point, Natalie, too, had realized what was going on. She decided to watch Hannah put on a


    show.


    The only exception to the group of spectators was Jessie, whose body was trembling with rage.


    That idiot is trying to seduce Shane?


    Hannah took Shane’s silence to mean that he had forgotten about her. Feeling disappointed, she


    pouted her lips and gave him the puppy-dog eyes.


    Unfortunately, her facial expression shed loudly with the thick make-up she wore, resulting in her


    looking more like a clown at that moment.


    Hannah, however, was convinced that her look would elicit the desired effect as she continued to


    pester, “Mr. Thompson, you really have forgotten. We have met before when—”


    “Get out of my way!” Annoyed, Shane cut her off mid-sentence.


    Hannah’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mr. Thompson, you—”


    “Didn’t you hear what I’ve just said?” Shane uttered the words so coldly it was enough to send chills


    down one’s spine.
