As Natalie stared at Jacqueline's back, her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

I'm not quite sure whether I was reading into things too much, but I just can't shake off the feeling that she seems to be panicked and afraid of something. Hmm... Could it be that she did something behind my back earlier?

Mulling it over, her gaze darkened as suspicion gnawed at her. Finally, she decided to take a look at the security footage later and see what exactly Jacqueline did.

“Let's go.” Shane then walked over to her and took her hand.

In reflex, Natalie looked up at him. “Where to?”

At that, Shane quirked an eyebrow. “Didn't you say you want to have some water?”

“Oh, that's right. I almost forgot about it. Are you getting some water as well?” Natalie followed him as he led her down the stairs.

Shane nodded slightly. “The coffee Jacqueline made just now was with sugar. It was too sweet, so I'm feeling rather parched.”

“How lucky are you to have someone make coffee for you! You've got quite the affinity with ladies,” Natalie drawled with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Hearing the jealousy in her voice, Shane chuckled softly. “I didn't like the coffee she made.”

“Well, Ms. Graham will certainly be saddened if she hears that.” Despite Natalie's words, a bright smile bloomed on her face.
