CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“What just happened?” Joyce's mouth fell open as she gaped at the couple.

Why did he abruptly carry her?

Shane had caught Natalie off-guard when he lifted her. She had no time to react and had instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to keep her balance. But when she came back to her senses, she immediately released her arms and yelled with her face flushed, “Mr. Shane, what are you doing? Let me down!”

Shane remained unmoved, carrying her expressionlessly as he walked. Anxious, Natalie began to struggle, but he merely gritted his teeth and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

He lowered his head slightly, staring darkly at the woman who was on tenterhooks in his embrace. “Keep moving and I'll throw you down!” he warned.

“You—” Natalie froze, twisting her head to gauge the height to the ground. Though it wasn't too high, there were stones and debris everywhere. She decided it wasn't worth it.

Natalie compromised and stopped moving, biting her lip as she stared at the man. “What are you trying to do?”

Shane didn't answer. He placed her in the backseat before retrieving a plastic bag from the glove compartment.
