“Alright.” Natalie nodded and went to inform the kids.

Slightly more than an hour later, they arrived at the factory.

Joyce was talking on the phone by the entrance. Natalie got down from the car and waved her hands. “Joyce!”

Hearing her voice, Joyce kept her phone and jogged towards her friend. “You’re here, Nat!”

“Yeah, Mr. Shane sent me here.” Natalie pointed at the man beside her.

“Nice to meet you.” Shane nodded slightly and greeted Joyce.

“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Shane.” Joyce darted her gaze between the two in bewilderment. She then dragged her friend aside and lowered her voice. “Nat, why did Mr. Shane come with you?”
