CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“That's great!” Shane could imagine Connor's joy, and he smiled at the thought of his happy mannerism.

“Darling, I have to hang up. I've arrived at the airport and will be heading in to meet Jared. I'll chat with you again later.” Natalie had to end the call with Shane as she was about to enter the airport.

“Okay,” Shane acknowledged.

After ending the call, Natalie searched for an empty spot and parked her car. Then she grabbed her bag and hurried into the airport.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Natalie saw Jared coming out with a canvas board on his back. His companions, people from all over the world, all had a canvas board on their back as well.

“Jared!” Natalie waved and called out to him in Chanaean.

Jared looked around upon hearing her voice, and his face lit up with a smile when he saw her. “Nat!” He waved back in excitement.

His companion saw Natalie and was quick to ask, “Is that your sister, Smith?”

“Yes.” Jared nodded.

“She's so pretty! Smith, you know I never knew how to appreciate the beauty of your country's ladies, but for your sister, I could instantly tell she's a rare beauty! I want to be your brother-in-law, Smith!” his companion commented with a straight face.

Jared did not welcome that kind of attention for his sister, but he maintained a smile and quipped, “You can forget it, James. My sister is married.”

James clutched his chest and gave an exaggerated hurt look, whining, “Oh God! How could you do this to me? My love did not even get a chance to blossom.”

Jared could not be bothered with James' acting and instantly ran toward Natalie after bidding his teacher goodbye.
