Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 149

"Fine." Jasmine had to agree to the man's demand as if he had some dirt on her.

Soon, Natalie started hearing some subtle moans and grunts from afar.

She was so shocked that her heart pounded furiously, and she just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

Even after she returned to the private room, her face remained as pale as a ghost.

Shane noticed her expression and knitted his brows. "What's wrong?"

"I..." Natalie nearly blurted out what she saw earlier but decided to hold back. "A rat appeared in the washroom and scared the daylights out of me." "Rat? In this hotel?" Shane squinted in disbelief.

Natalie dared not look at him in the eyes. She took a sip of the orange juice and said, "Yeah, it's a huge one. It must have come from somewhere else." "Looks like I've to inform the hotel about this problem." Shane then wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

Natalie responded with a wry smile and did not say anything after that.

It was not because she did not want him to know. If she were to tell him about it now, Shane would have exploded and ended this gathering in a fit of anger.

Moreover, Natalie thought it was best for him to replace out about it himself. It would be too embarrassing for him to learn about his fiancée's infidelity from another person. She was ready to drop a hint or two to help him discover the truth.

This was why she seemed absent-minded throughout lunch. How should I alert him about this without telling him directly?

She still failed to come up with a plan by the end of the gathering.

After bidding farewell to all the critics, Natalie and Shane left the hotel.

The wind outside was chilly, and Natalie could not help but shiver. She tried to warm herself by rubbing her hands together.

Upon seeing her reaction, Shane removed his blazer and placed it over her head.

Natalie looked at him, feeling confused.

"Project Rebirth is just four days away, so you mustn't fall sick," Shane explained.

"Got it. Thank you." Natalie nodded. She could feel the warmth of his body on the coat.

"Let's wait by the road. Silas is reaching soon." Shane put his hands into his pocket and led the way.

Natalie adjusted the coat and followed right behind with a smile.

A roguish man was hiding behind the flower bed outside the hotel. He took out a photo from his pocket to check if Natalie was his target. He then threw away his cigarette butt and approached Natalie from the back.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her shoulder. By the time she looked back, her handbag was gone.

She was stunned for a bit before alerting the man in front of him. "Mr. Shane, someone snatched my handbag!"

"What?" Shane's eyes narrowed. "Did you carry any important documents in the bag?"

“There's a flash drive containing all the designs I've chosen and amended. We would be using these designs for our fall collection, and we're supposed to hand it over to the dress-making department tomorrow." Natalie panicked.

Ever since Jasmine instructed Ashley to steal her designs, she had always kept the flash drive by her side to avoid history repeating itself.

Yet, this time, she fell victim to a snatch thief.

Natalie clenched her teeth and said, "I must go and get it back. It would be a disaster had he thrown everything else away after stealing my wallet and my phone."

She took down the coat and was ready to run after the man.

Shane stopped her. "I'll go. You stay right here and call the police. Wait for Silas."

"But..."

Shane did not give her a chance to say anything. He removed his tie, threw it on her, and ran in the snatch thief's direction.

Natalie's jaw dropped upon realizing what a fast runner Shane was.

A man who stays in the office all year long can still be so athletic? What a surprise!
