CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Joyce gasped again. “I can't believe so many things have happened. If you say that you've lost contact with Mr. Shane, does that mean you don't know whether he's dead or alive?”

Natalie fell silent for a moment. “That's right, but I think that he's still alive. That's why I'm planning to head home tonight to look for him.”

Regardless of whether Shane was dead or alive, she had to find him and bring him home.

Joyce nodded. “I know you well. It's not surprising that you'd want to go back home to look for him after what happened. So, the reason for you to quit the competition is the premature labor and this, right?”

Indeed, the one who knew her best—other than Shane and the two kids—was her best friend, Joyce.

Natalie pursed her lips. “Yes. The organizers have agreed to it, and Mr. Campbell has done the necessary arrangements for me to go back. My mentor came to visit me last night too. After finding out what happened, she agreed to let me quit as well.”

“Then, Lina and Sally...”

“They've agreed with it too, and they've given me their support. Nevertheless, I owe them a favor. Once I find Shane, I'll make it up to them,” Natalie mumbled guiltily.

Joyce sighed. “There's nothing we can do but this. I'm sure that you'd say yes to giving up on the competition if the same were to happen to them.”

Natalie smiled, a silent agreement.
