CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Okay,” Sally said as she followed her out of the guest room.

They had expected to hear news of Jacqueline being caught by the time they were done with the competition in the afternoon, but Jacqueline didn't even show up at the clubhouse that day. None of the staff members received any packages either.

Thinking Jacqueline might show up later that day, Natalie decided to wait a little longer.

However, there was still no sign of Jacqueline even at night.

Natalie had gotten so used to receiving those packages that she actually found it strange when she went a whole day without getting any.

“Shane, do you think Jacqueline knows about our plans to catch her? Could that be the reason why she didn't dare show up today?” she voiced her thoughts out during their video call after taking a shower.

Shane had started his business trip that day, and the time zone in that country was similar to Astoria's, so it was nighttime for him as well.

He, too, had just finished showering and was drying his hair while seated on his bed. Instead of his usual aloof elite vibes, Shane was giving off a lazy yet sexy vibe at the time.

Draping the towel over the back of his neck, Shane held the phone with both hands as he stared at her on the screen. “That's possible. Of course, she might also just be doing this on purpose to have you lower your guard.”

“Have me lower my guard?” Natalie stared at him in confusion.

Shane nodded. “Yeah. She thinks you're scared after receiving those packages for three days in a row, so she stops for a while to make you think she won't send them anymore. Once you've finally lowered your guard, she'll send you another one. How do you think you'd react when that happens?”

Natalie gave it some thought. “I'd freak out thinking I'm being stalked.”

“Exactly. This might also be what she's playing at.”

“That's such a dirty move!” Natalie exclaimed.
