Silas gazed at Natalie and stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Mr. Shane, Ms. Smith seems to be avoiding you don’t you think? Could it be because you rejected her question yesterday?”

Shane didn’t say anything, but he pinched his lips tightly.

A while later, he stuck his hands into his pocket and made for the building entrance too.

Silas hurried after him immediately.

When they arrived at the meeting room, Shane stood at the front and swept a glance around the room with his deep eyes. He was determined to find Natalie among the dozens of people in suits.

Natalie was seated in a corner among the last row of seats. She had a notebook in front of her and a fountain pen wedged between her fingers as she scribbled down the plans for next season’s textiles.

Suddenly, a young man came up to her and sat down next to her. With a charming smile on his face, he tried to strike up a conversation with her. “Hey, Miss! Do you want to go out for coffee with me after this meeting?”

“No, thanks!” Natalie frowned, a look of annoyance appearing on her face.

The man didn’t seem to have heard her. Placing his arm on the back of her chair, he continued, “Don’t be so quick to turn me down! I know a café that has the most romantic setting. They even hold performances there sometimes! What do you think?”

Natalie pursed her lips. His chatter was starting to annoy her. She reached into her bag and took out her earphones, which she promptly plugged into her ears. Ignoring him, she went back to writing in her notebook.
