Natalie hummed in response.

Shane didn't even ask about her chat with Susan as he was uninterested. He merely placed his hand around her waist and guided her to his car.

“Mr. Shane, Nat, I'm going to give you both some space and head back on my own.”

Shane gave her a “good job” look.

Natalie caught sight of that and chuckled. Then, she fished out her car key from her purse and threw it to Joyce. “Here, take my car.”

“Thank you.” Joyce caught the key and nodded.

After that, Natalie and Shane got into their car and left.

During their journey back home, Natalie turned and asked, “Was there something important that you wanted to talk about? Was that why you came to my office?”

“Yes, we're supposed to pay our respect to our ancestors back in Thompson residence today. I came to pick you up so we can participate in the ceremony,” Shane explained.

Natalie smacked her forehead in realization. “Oh my, you're right! Mrs. Wilson told me about it yesterday, but I forgot. I'm so sorry, Shane. I—”

“It's okay. Don't sweat about it. It's just a small ceremony, not a big one. So, it doesn't matter even if we don't attend. Furthermore, I'm here now to pick you up, right?” Shane replied gently.
