“Alright…” Jackson lowered his head.

With that, Shane hung up the call. Before Natalie could ask, he turned and told her about their conversation.

She pursed her lips as the disdain she felt for Jacqueline intensified once Shane was done. However, she did not make any comments.

“Nat, this Jacqueline woman is so thick-skinned! I’m guessing she must be from a wealthy family since she’s friends with Mr. Shane. Yet, her mind is full of men. To add on, she brought upon this disaster on herself all for the sake of a man. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a shame,” Sally blurted.

Although I have not met Jacqueline, I could already tell she must be swooning over love judging by Mr. Shane’s description, Sally thought to herself.

Natalie noticed Shane’s darkened expression and let out a chuckle. “Sal, the man you mentioned is actually your boss and my Darling.”

“What?” Sally looked at Shane in disbelief.

Noticing his cold expression, she gulped and cleared her throat. “Oh… Well, Mr. Shane, you didn’t clarify who that man was, so I thought it was someone else,” Sally explained as cold sweat beaded her forehead. “Oh? So it’s my fault that I didn’t clarify?” Shane narrowed his eyes.

“No, of course not! I didn’t mean it that way. I just… Nat.” Sally glanced at Natalie for help.

“Come on, Shane. She didn’t know it was you. Cut her some slack, alright? But she did get one thing right. Ms. Graham is rather thick-skinned.” Natalie wiped the tears of laughter off her eyes.
