Silas noticed that Natalie was struggling with all the belongings in her hands, especially with her leg injury. It looked as though she was about to fall anytime. While he remained quiet about her demeanor, he didn’t really want to see her fall. Hence, he extended his hand and offered to help. “Let me help you with the laptop.”

“Thank you, Mr. Campbell.” Natalie didn’t find anything wrong with his behavior and handed over her laptop to him gratefully.

There were important documents relating to her drafts on that laptop. She wouldn’t have to worry about dropping and damaging the laptop if someone helped her with it.

They arrived at the meeting room shortly after.

Following Silas’ instructions, she sat down at a seat near the door.

Despite entering in a low-profile and quiet manner, she still managed to attract everyone’s attention.

“Mr. Shane.” Natalie looked at the man who was seated at the head of the table.

“Are you ready?” He asked as his gaze moved toward her.

She nodded in response.

 

“Let’s begin then.” Shane interlocked his fingers and placed them on the table, ready to listen to the presentation.
