As if Shane could read Natalie's thoughts, he said in a low voice, “I'm sending you a picture now. Take a look.”

“Sure.” Natalie nodded.

A picture?

What picture? Soon after, Natalie received the picture from Shane.

Not knowing what to expect, she clicked on the message and opened the picture attachment.

It was a photo of her and Sean eating together in the hotel lobby. Natalie was shocked that Shane was in possession of such a picture.

When she regained her composure, she started to wonder who the photo was taken by.

“Have you seen the photo?” Shane asked.

Natalie rubbed her cheeks and answered, “I'm sorry, Shane. I didn't lie to you on purpose.”

“Oh?” Shane narrowed his eyes before asking, “Then why did you lie, then?”

Natalie sighed and replied, “Fine. Since you've already seen the picture, I guess I can't keep it from you anymore. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to worry. Earlier today, I bumped into some thugs when I was walking out of the magazine company after visiting the artists and I was almost...”
