“From the bosses? Who is coming?” Someone asked.

Penny replied arrogantly, “Who else apart from the big boss?”

The person she was talking about was none other than Jasmine’s fiancé.

“Oh...” Everyone gasped at her reply.

“Why would the CEO suddenly inspect our department?”

“Who knows? In any case, quickly tidy up your office. Otherwise, you’re going to be penalized!” Penny

turned and walked away after leaving them a stern warning.

Everyone got busy immediately.

Natalie looked at her desk. There wasn’t much to pack since she only had a laptop and some

documents on her table. Hence, she continued to work on her draft.

“Nat, do you know why the CEO is coming today?” Ashley, who sat beside her, asked.

Natalie threw a glance at her. It was a rather weird question. “How would I know if you guys don’t?”

“Well, I thought the CEO and you have a pretty good relationship. Maybe you would have some insider

information?” Ashley grinned.

“Me? A good relationship with Mr. Shane? Who did you hear this from?” Natalie frowned.

“I saw it with my own eyes! You got into Mr. Shane’s car yesterday, didn’t you?” Ashley leaned forward

and whispered into her ear.

Ah. So that’s why.

Natalie relaxed a little and explained, “That’s because my leg hasn’t recovered and it’s inconvenient to

get a cab. Hence, Mr. Shane offered to drive me home. Once I recover, he won’t be sending me home

anymore. So Ashley, don’t ever spout such nonsense again. If Mr. Shane or Ms. Jasmine hears about

this...”

“Alright, I get it! I won’t speak about this anymore,” Ashley quickly interjected. She seemed a little afraid

after hearing Natalie’s words.

The latter observed Ashley closely for a few seconds. She felt that something was amiss but could not

pinpoint what was wrong exactly. Thus, she kept quiet and stapled her completed draft.

Just then, footsteps could be heard nearing the design department. Then, a tall and handsome man

walked in with a few others trailing behind him. One of them was Jasmine.

“Mr. Shane!” Everyone in the design department stood up as soon as he arrived and bowed

respectfully.

“Continue with your work. I’m just here with a few business partners. We won’t interrupt you,” Shane

looked at the crowd of staff in front of him and spoke to them coldly.

His gaze paused on Natalie for a brief moment before he looked away.

Natalie sat down along with the rest and began working once more.

To her surprise, Shane led the few business partners in her direction.

Just as she was about to stand, Shane held onto her arm and stopped her. “It’s alright. You can sit

since you are still injured.”

“Alright, Mr. Shane.” Natalie showed a grateful smile and remained seated.

Jasmine was obviously dissatisfied. “Mr. Shane, I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to remain seated

while we’re all standing. Seems disrespectful in my opinion!”

“It’s alright. This is a special circumstance. I trust that Mr. Jacques and the rest will understand.” Shane

turned slightly and glanced at his business partners.

They all nodded and smiled. “Of course we do. An injured employee should always be taken care of.”

Shane then looked at Jasmine with his dark eyes. His sharp gaze was sufficient to pierce through

anyone’s soul. “Well, Jasmine, do you still have any issues?”

“No, of course not.” Deep down, she was boiling. But she still managed a wide smile and responded

politely.

It was seldom to see Jasmine being put in her place. Biting down on her lips, Natalie bowed her head

to control her laughter. Her mood somehow turned for the better.

“Well, since there are no problems, I suggest you don’t speak at all from now on. Otherwise, it will be

disrespectful to me, understood?” Shane remarked with pursed lips.

His voice was clear, assertive, and loud. Every word was a stab in Jasmine’s heart.

The color drained from her face as she heard this.

How could I have forgotten?

When working, this man is as stubborn as a bull. He could never tolerate those who doubted his

decisions. It was taboo in the office.

I was just trying to make Natalie’s life difficult earlier. But in the end, I’ve offended Shane... What a

misstep on my part!

Shane did not bother with Jasmine any longer and went ahead to introduce the remaining people to

Natalie. “Natalie, meet our business partners. They are also the investors for Project Rebirth. They will

be the ones deciding whether you can be the chief designer for the project.”
