CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Mrs. Wilson looked at Natalie in indignation. “Madam, we didn't even say much to her, yet she ran off crying as if we bullied her. Why is Ms. Graham behaving in this way? She wasn't like this last time, was she?”

Natalie, who was eating some fruits intently, merely smiled.

Jacqueline was different from her former self because Natalie hadn't appeared on the scene. There was no need for the woman then to portray herself as the damsel in distress.

Now that Natalie was here, Jacqueline saw her as a fellow competitor for the attention she craved. If the latter didn't emphasize her feeble side, no one would rush to protect her or even notice her.

“All right, Madam. It's getting late, and I should start preparing dinner. Sir should be back home in a while,” Mrs. Wilson said, glancing at her phone. She stood up and headed towards the kitchen.

Natalie was also eager to fetch Sharon and Connor back from school. She placed her fork neatly onto the plate, then got dressed and left the house.

It was still early when Natalie had finished bundling Sharon and Connor into the car.

She fished for her phone and dialed Shane's number.

The man answered almost immediately. Over the line, his deep voice said gruffly, “Hello?”

“Darling, have you ended work?” Natalie asked as she drove home.

In the back seat of the car, Sharon and Connor craned their necks forward eagerly, hoping to hear Shane's answer as well.
