Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 36

Natalie could feel that Jasmine certainly had a hand in the matter.

She was able to log in yesterday, but not today.

Hence, she must have something to do with this.

Sure enough, Jasmine admitted almost immediately, “I’m the one who deleted your ID from the system.”

Pursing her lips, yet knowing that her instinct was spot on, Natalie could only ask, “Why?”

“You dare to ask me why?” Jasmine leaned back in her chair and folded her arms in front of her. Straightening her posture to express dominance, she haughtily remarked, “Because you’re not a formal employee of our Thompson Group. You’re just someone we outsource, therefore I can’t let you access the database. What if you’re here to steal the confidential data?”

“Oh, please! Of course, I won’t!” Natalie’s face was serious, bordering anger.

Jasmine snorted, “Have you ever encountered a thief who admits to stealing something?”

That left Natalie speechless.

It was obvious that Jasmine was making things difficult on purpose for her. But she would not surrender without a fight.

Staring at Jasmine with a deep gaze, Natalie decided to leave instead.

Just as Natalie was about to turn around, Jasmine squinted her eyes, feeling that the scene seemed familiar. In a sharp voice, the latter sternly called out, “Stop! You’re going off to find Shane again, right?”

“I need to check the database for information for Project Rebirth. Since you don’t support me, I can only bring this up with Mr. Shane. I believe Mr. Shane will be more than happy to support me,” Natalie spoke without even looking back.

“You’re not allowed to go!” Jasmine stood up and took a few large strides to block Natalie’s path.

The problem arising from Natalie’s two children had been temporarily resolved.

However, she still should not let her guards down so as not to take things for granted.

As long as Natalie was around, the truth of the yesteryear might be divulged at any time. Therefore, she must minimize the frequency of them meeting as much as possible. After that, she would find an excuse to drive Natalie and her two illegitimate offspring away.

“Let me give you a piece of advice. You’d better not get in my way,” Natalie warned as she stared at the hand that was grabbing her arm. With an impassive expression, she goaded, “I’m a poor, injured person. If anything were to happen to me here in this office, or if my injury worsened, I’m sure you’ll be facing a hard time explaining yourself, Ms. Jasmine. After all, there are security cameras everywhere here.”

As she uttered these words, she pointed her finger to the cameras on the wall. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasmine’s expression changed immediately as she retorted, “Are you threatening me?”

“As long as you stop me, I believe I won’t be resorting to such an unrefined manner, will I?” Natalie smiled dryly as she slapped away Jasmine’s hand.

Getting onto an elevator and reaching the top floor, Natalie stepped out of the elevator. At that moment, she saw Silas coming out of the secretary’s office and heading towards the CEO’s office.

“Mr. Campbell!” she hurriedly called out.

Silas stopped in his tracks and looked at her. A fleeting look of disgust flashed across his eyes as he smiled and nodded. “Ah, it’s Ms. Smith.”

“Mr. Campbell, I need to see Mr. Shane on something related to work. Can you help me inform him of that to arrange the meeting now?” Natalie politely asked.

“Sure thing!” Silas replied as he pushed his glasses up.

Since it was a matter related to work, he had no reason to refuse.

Soon, Silas came out of the CEO’s office and let Natalie in.

Bowing a little gratefully, she proceeded to push the doors to the CEO’s office.

“Mr. Shane.”

Raising his head from behind the computer, Shane watched Natalie walking in with a complicated look. “Silas told me that you have something to discuss with me. May I know what’s the matter?”

“This is what happened…” Natalie related the whole reason for her coming up.

As he finished listening to her account, he clicked the desktop on his screen with his fingertip and concluded. “So, you just want me to issue a directive to ask someone in charge to re-enter your ID into the system, right?”

“Yes!” Natalie nodded.

Before she came up, she had learned that she needed a directive from her immediate superior to be able to re-register. Her immediate superior was Jasmine.

Seeing that her ID was deleted from the system by Jasmine herself, it was impossible to get her to issue the directive. Having no choice, she had decided to come up to Shane.

“I understand. I’ll inform Silas to bring you to the personnel department.” Shane gave his approval.

Natalie was so elated that she almost forgot her manners. She said, “Thank you Mr. Shane. I’ll take my leave then,” as she turned and went out of the office.

“Wait a minute!” Shane stopped her suddenly.

Natalie paused dead in her tracks. “Is there anything else, Mr. Shane? Perhaps you have some instructions for me?”

“How are you recovering?” Shane stood up and peered at her wounded foot.

Natalie jiggled her ankle around and replied with a smile, “Much better than yesterday. As long as I don’t touch or put undue stress on it, it won’t hurt.”

“That’s good to know. I’ll take you to the hospital for a tetanus shot after work.” Upon saying that, Shane sat back down on his chair.
