Stunned, Natalie turned to look at him.

"How did you know about that?"

"When I dropped by to look for you this afternoon, you'd left your office.Your assistant told me about that"

Shane explained casually after taking a sip of the soup.

Natalie nodded.

"Is that so? Yeah! I'd dropped by the detective agency this afternoon"

"Did anything happen?" Shane asked placidly.

Sensing that she was not wearing a look of anxiousness, he presumed it was not a life-threatening situation.

Hence, he sounded nonchalant too.

Natalie put her fork down and elucidated, "It's Joyce.When I reached the office today, I was shocked to find that she had delegated all her tasks to the other staff without my knowledge.Obviously, she's planning to resign.Thus, I called her right away, asking her why.But she kept crying and refused to tell me anything.After that, I called her mother, only to find that she seems to be acting weirdly at home lately.That's why I have a hunch something must have occurred to her."

"Oh, I see.Have you gotten any clues?" Shane asked.

Natalie shook her head.

"Not yet.I haven't received any calls from the detective agency"
