Natalie immediately glanced at the time on the bottom right of her computer screen and realized it was already half past five. She patted her forehead in exasperation. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t looking at the time, so I didn’t know it’s this late.”

She took her phone and clicked on the screen several times, but the screen remained black. After plugging the charger in, the screen finally lit up.

“Oh, no wonder your calls didn’t get through. My phone ran out of battery,” Natalie giggled.

Shane kept his gaze fixed on her. “Joyce told me you were out of sorts the whole afternoon. What happened?”

Upon hearing his question, Natalie massaged her temples. “It’s nothing. I happened to run into Mr. Sean at the design department today.”

Shane’s face clouded over instantly. “Did he mention the will again?”

Natalie gave a solemn nod before pouring everything out.

Shane balled up his fists at her narration.

Seeing his reaction, Natalie rose to her feet and went to take his hand. “Shane, what should we do? We know nothing about it. The deadline is half a month away. If he can’t find the will or at least a clue about the will, I’m afraid he’ll resort to despicable means.”

“It’s fine.” Shane patted the back of her hand. “If he wants a clue, we shall give one to him.”
