CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Do tell me, Aunt Catherine,” Jacqueline pleaded.

Catherine suddenly looked sorrowful, taking out a handkerchief and dabbing at the corners of her eyes dramatically. “Shane's been trying to capture Sean lately, so Sean can't even come home. I came here to convince Natalie to call Shane off, but she refused. Jacqueline, please help to persuade Shane,” Catherine begged.

“Oh,” Jacqueline stated, a crafty gleam appearing in her eyes. She beamed at Catherine, saying, “Got it, Aunt Catherine. Don't worry. I'll do my best to let Shane know.”

Natalie frowned but said nothing.

Upon hearing that, Catherine held Jacqueline's hands tightly and exclaimed with gratitude, “That's fantastic! Thank you, Jacqueline.”

“Please, there's no need to thank me. I'm just doing what I can. After all, Sean took care of me last time. I'm just repaying the debt,” Jacqueline replied modestly.

“You've got a conscience, Jacqueline, unlike some people,” Catherine said, deliberately emphasizing the last two words. She cast a baleful glance towards Natalie as she spoke, her eyes like two daggers pointing at her.

The latter shook her head in contempt. She decided not to dignify them with a response, however and remained silent.

“All right, Jacqueline. It's getting late, so I'll be going home. I'll leave Sean in your hands, then. I'll be sure to invite you over some time,” Catherine concluded, getting to her feet.
