CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1767 Special Gift

“I see,” Lina nodded. “That makes sense. After all, how can Mr. Thompson possibly miss his beloved wife's awards ceremony?”

“Weren't you just asking if he would attend or not? Now you're saying how can he possibly miss it? Lina, I've noticed you're quite good at beating around the bush,” Natalie said with a smile as she looked at her.

Lina chuckled, “Well, that's how people should be. As long as you master this trick, you can get by and even thrive in any circle.”

“Indeed,” Natalie neither agreed nor disagreed.

Lina's eyes flickered as if she had thought of something. She leaned in closer to her and said, “Right, Nat, you only got up at noon today. It seems you used the gift I sent you last night. How was it? Was the effect good? Did your relationship with Mr. Thompson take off all of a sudden?”

You need to enhance your relationship, so I thought about it for a long time before deciding to give you this. This is the most direct way to express genuine feelings. I'm doing this for your own good.

Natalie glared at her. “Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was last night when I saw it? In any case, you're not allowed to bring this up again. If you do, you'll have me to
