CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Stop it!” Natalie stopped in her tracks as she interrupted him nervously.

I hate to admit it, but his words got to me. What if everything he said happened? What if an engine part is faulty and I insist on driving the car with my children in it. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything terrible happens.

Shane's expression relaxed when he realized Natalie was convinced by his words.

He walked over and placed the car key in her palm. “Don't feel pressured. This is merely a form of compensation,” he said gently.

Natalie lowered her head and glanced at the key. She hesitated for a brief moment before gripping onto them tightly. “I got it. Thank you, Mr. Shane. I'll accept the car. However, I'll pay you for the amount that has exceeded the car value. Thank you!”

Before Shane could respond, Natalie pressed the button on the key to open the car door and placed both her children in it before driving away.

Silas came to Shane's side as they watched the red car drove away. “Mr. Shane, it seems that Ms. Smith is still alienating you? She's now making things very clear with you and even money. Didn't' you confess your feelings to her last night?”

Shane pursed his lips, “No rush. Let's give her some space and time to get used to my existence. It's not too late to take action by then too. Come on, let's head to the office.”

“Yes, Mr. Shane.” Silas nodded.

Natalie dropped off Sharon at the kindergarten in her new car and drove Connor to the hospital. She placed him in Joyce's care for the day. Then, she headed to Design Association to participate in the competition.

Natalie could feel the tension in the air when she arrived at the conference room of the Design Association.

Besides Jasmine, the remaining six designers had uneasy and concerned looks written on their faces.
