That's it... Natalie squinted her eyes and looked intently into Justin's eyes. “Mr. Sutter, you don't seem really surprised to see me here. Not to mention, you're not astounded that I am Joyce's close friend. Would you mind explaining that? After all, we've never met each other, have we?”

Needless to say, Justin was well aware that Natalie tended to have a sense of vigilance toward him. He smiled resignedly and replied, “Sure, no issue on that.
