Picking up the call, she heard Stanley’s anxious voice on the other side of the phone. “Nat, where are you now?”

“I’m at home.” Natalie poured a glass of water for herself.

He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. When Mr. Shane took you away, I thought he was going to do something to you.”

After drinking some water, she laughed. “That’s impossible. Mr. Shane isn’t that kind of a person.”

“Nothing much. I think he misunderstood that you were going to do something to me when he saw us drinking together.” She chuckled.

“Do you believe what he said?” Gradually, he clutched his phone tightly.
