CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Stanley's gaze flickered. “Something like that.”

“Forget it. That's not important. What I'm more interested to know is why Jacqueline came to you for help in the first place? As far as I can remember, you were only her attending physician at one point, and you two weren't particularly close with each other outside of that context.” Natalie narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

Stanley laughed quietly in response. “Well, I don't know the reason either. Maybe she came to me because she had no one else to turn to.”

“Is that so?” Natalie pursed her lips tight. It was hard to tell how much she believed in that statement.

After a brief silence, she added, “You also mentioned that Jacqueline and Sean were allies. What do you mean by that?”

“I found that out by chance as well. They got into contact which each other once before you and Mr. Shane stopped talking to each other. Jacqueline gave Stanley a video, which he forwarded to Mr. Shane. It was after that that you and Mr. Shane started giving each other the silent treatment,” came Stanley's reply.

Natalie's pupils constricted. “A video? Could it be the one that—”

“Indeed, that's the one.” Stanley nodded, acknowledging that he meant the video that was on Natalie's mind.
