Inside the elevator, Joyce looked at Natalie. “Nat, has something happened? Why do I get the feeling that you are treating Mr. Shane rather aloofly?”

Natalie’s eyes flickered as she evoked a subdued smile. “I used to work under him, but not anymore. We’re just acquaintances now, so nothing could possibly have happened.”

“But I keep thinking that there’s some kind of awkwardness between you both. It’s almost like you are keeping your distance from him.” Joyce said as she primped her hair.

Natalie nodded. “That’s right. He’s a man who is engaged to be married. Should I not keep my distance from him?”

“Well...” Joyce was rendered speechless.

She then poked at Joyce’s face. “Enough of the gossip. You better take care of that or it might leave behind scars.”
