CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Shane knew she would grow upset and didn't force her to do so. He chuckled lightly and told her, “I'm going to attend a meeting soon, so I'll contact you later.”

“Got it. Go home after you're done with work. Don't exhaust yourself,” Natalie reminded him gently.

A hint of affection flashed across Shane's eyes when he heard her reminder. “Okay.”

He then ended the call.

Natalie put her phone down.

Right then, Lina came down the stairs and shot her a teasing smile. “Darling, muah!”

She puckered her lips and blew a kiss in Natalie's direction.

Realizing what she meant, Natalie blushed again. Her cheeks were crimson as she stammered, “Lina, d-did you hear everything?”

Lina covered her lips and giggled. “Of course. You and Mr. Shane talked so loudly. I can't even pretend I didn't hear you both.”

Her body trembled as she teased, “I had no idea you were this mushy. You've been married for a long time, after all. I had goosebumps when I heard you kissing each other on the phone.”

She rubbed her arms.

Natalie placed her palms on her cheeks to cool herself down. “Why? Are you envious?”

“A bit.” Lina came to join her on the couch. “We saw how you and Mr. Shane got together. To be honest, I've never seen any couple as loving as you both. I've also never seen any man as loyal as Mr. Shane, so I can't help but be envious. I wish I can find a man as loyal as Mr. Shane.”
