Natalie was holding her own laughter in too, and she finally sighed in relief after entering the elevator. She reached out and unhooked her bag from Shane’s shoulder. “Okay, you can give it back now. I don’t want you to get laughed at.”

Despite not saying anything, she had seen her employees’ reactions.

Shane had also seen everything, and he pursed his lips. “Whatever. I don’t mind what they think of me.”

“But I do.” Natalie clutched onto Shane’s arm. “I know you want to help your wife as any good husband would, and I’m more than happy for you to do that privately.
