Joyce put her hands on her friend’s shoulder and said, “You can definitely do it. I don’t know about others but you definitely stand a good chance in convincing that man because he likes you!”

Natalie was initially stumped, then smiled to dismiss her friend. “Joyce, how can you joke about this…”

“I’m not joking. He really likes you. Nat, believe me. I can feel it. Judging by the way he looks at you, he definitely has a crush on you!” Joyce interrupted her and said.

“Nat, I know all these must sound implausible to you but it’s true. Mr. Shane likes you, and only you can convince him to give up on the notion to seek revenge. Please, you have to at least try to convince him. As long as he’s willing to let him go, I promise that Stanley will never come back to this country,” Joyce swore a vow.
