CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Shane placed his hands into his pocket coolly, then announced, “Because the corneas that Jacqueline is interested in belong to someone who is already dying.”

“Someone who's already dying?” Natalie stared at him, incomprehension written all over her face.

Shane nodded in affirmation. “Jacqueline said herself that the person she's thinking of only has about two or three months to live.”

This revelation allowed Natalie to breathe a little easier, gradually recovering her composure. The suspicion she had been harboring in her mind began to slowly evaporate.

Awkwardly, Natalie bobbed her head in apology. “I'm sorry, Mr. Shane. We've completely misunderstood Ms. Graham,” she admitted.

“It's fine. I'll confess that even I found Jacqueline's reaction just now to be rather dubious,” Shane replied kindly, dismissing Natalie's apology.

Natalie looked at him. “Since it was a pure misunderstanding, let's not discuss this matter anymore. We'll be off now.”
