Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 37

He had promised Connor that he would bear the responsibility until the end. And it was his obligation to take her to the hospital.

"Oh, you don't have to trouble yourself." Waving her hand, Natalie revealed, "I've already taken the shot."

"You did?" Shane frowned.

Natalie mumbled an affirmative and explained, "Stanley is a doctor. He has given the shot last night."

So it was him, again!

Recalling the man he had met last night, Shane pursed his lips as his voice turned cold. "Off you go then. Also, get Jasmine to come up."

"Sure thing!" Natalie jovially replied as she turned around and left, not caring or even noticing the change in his attitude.

Ten plus minutes later, Jasmine appeared before Shane nervously. "Shane..."

"Can you not target Natalie from now on? Your blatant immaturity irks me. Stop it," Shane said in a deep tone as he purposely glared at her.

In fact, since yesterday in the warehouse, he had noticed that she was hostile towards Natalie. He had no idea where the source of the hostility sprung from.

However, now that he knew that one of them was the illegitimate daughter while the other was the product of actual proper marriage, he wondered how the two of them could ever reconcile. Therefore, he could understand the reasons why she targeted Natalie specifically.

But he could not tolerate someone using work duties to oppress others, especially Natalie. Such unprofessional conduct!

"I'm not targeting her. As she's not our full-time employee of our company, I'm worried that letting her having access to such important information may be detrimental to us. What if she..."

"Do you really think so?" Shane interrupted Jasmine as he stared at her with his hawk eyes.

Jasmine felt a little ashamed, having been seen through by Shane. After all, he had seen her ugliest side. She avoided his stare and slinked back.

He retracted his stare and reminded, "She is the backup help I invited to the company under the recommendation of Mr. Moore. Suspecting her means you are suspecting Mr. Moore and me. So put away your schemes and shenanigans, or I'll have you sent back to your own studio. After all, I simply can't tolerate unprofessional conduct."

Upon hearing this, Jasmine became anxious.

She already had very few opportunities to meet him. If she were to be sent back to her studio, the chances of them meeting up would be even less.

How then could she cultivate a relationship with him?

Fearing that probable outcome, Jasmine could only squeeze her hands and relented. "I get what you mean. From now on, I shall not target her."

She would not do anything to Natalie in front of everyone but she made no guarantees or promises if she were to sabotage her behind everyone's back.

"Now that you know, just do it. You will give her whatever information she needs in the future. There must not be any mistakes with Project Rebirth." Shane reminded her.

Jasmine still felt reluctant. "Shane, did you really give her Project Rebirth? Although she hails from Laurent Academy of Design, she doesn't have even the slightest reputation."

Picking up his cold coffee from his table, Shane took a sip and said, "This has nothing to do with her fame, but rather her talent. I've seen her work. She has the creativity and motivation, and that is why I want to give her a chance to prove herself. As long as her first draft is approved, Project Rebirth will be left under her responsibility."

First draft, eh?

After hearing his words, there was a twinkle of light shining briefly in her eyes.

In that case, as long as Natalie messed up, Shane would definitely not keep Natalie anymore.

It was obvious to her that she had to replace a better way to prevent Natalie's first draft from being approved.

Back in the design department, as Jasmine walked into the main office, she saw Natalie was having a happy conversation with Ashley. An idea suddenly popped into her mind. "Ashley!" Jasmine called out in a loud voice.

Ashley, who was chatting with Natalie, immediately stood up and greeted, "Yes, Ms. Jasmine?"

"Come with me now."

"Yes!"

Ashley followed Jasmine out in a jiffy.

After a while, Ashley came back to her seat and looked at Natalie with a hint of guilt.

Natalie did not notice her abnormal behavior. Smiling at her, she pulled out the chair for her and asked inquisitively, "What did Ms. Jasmine tell you?"

Ashley tried to avert her gaze as she replied, "She merely follow up with me regarding my draft design from yesterday."

"Oh, I see," nodded Natalie.

Sitting down, Ashley decided to take a risk and asked Natalie casually, "Hey Nat, do you and Ms. Jasmine have a beef against one another by any chance?" Hearing her words, Natalie's smile faded as she tried to explain, "It's not vengeance. It's just some petty grudges. Why are you asking this suddenly, Ashley?" "Nothing. Mere curiosity. After all, you were targeted by Ms. Jasmine yesterday. The curious side of me just wants to know," explained Ashley.

Natalie did not suspect anything and was soon engrossed with her work of reviewing designs saved in the database.
