“It's alright,” Natalie said with a shake of her head. Instead of holding a grudge, she chose to forgive him.

After all, she knew that he had not done it on purpose.

Natalie shifted her gaze to Jacqueline again. “Ms. Graham, please keep in mind that I'm Shane's girlfriend now. There is nothing wrong with you visiting him when he's here. After all, it's your own freedom to meet him,” Natalie said.

“However, I hope that you'll keep your distance from Shane and avoid touching him as it would spark unwanted rumors. I'd be unhappy if I see the two of you having close contact as well. I hope that you'll respect my wishes,” Natalie continued while narrowing her eyes.

Hearing her words, Shane's lips curved into a broad smile. He was clearly delighted with Natalie's display of possessiveness.

On the other hand, Jacqueline was upset as she glanced at Shane, who did not step forward to defend her and even seemed pleased with Natalie's warnings. Despite the pang of disappointment in her heart, Jacqueline forced herself to smile. “Alright, I will make sure to heed your advice in the future.”

“That's great,” Natalie answered with a smile.

Jacqueline lowered her head in an attempt to conceal her facial expression as she bid them farewell, “Shane, I won't disturb you and Ms. Smith anymore. I'll take my leave first.”

“Alright,” Shane replied and nodded his head in approval.

With that, Jacqueline spun on her heel and left.

In the blink of an eye, her figure vanished into thin air.

Natalie sat down on Jacqueline's seat. 'Shane, do you think my words to Ms. Graham were too harsh?” she asked worriedly.

“No.” Shane tilted his head to look at her. “In fact, you reminded us that we shouldn't be too close.”

“I see.” Natalie let out a sigh of relief.

Natalie was afraid that Shane would consider her earlier actions to be out of line as she assumed that her words had hurt Jacqueline's feelings.
