Chapter 1405 Overslept

“No.” There was no way Shane would agree to her request, for he hadn’t touched her for the past few days. In the end, Natalie had no choice but to allow him to bring her to their bed.

An intense lovemaking session that lasted until dawn ensued. After it came to an end, Natalie panted and rested her cheek on the man’s chest. Her eyes were shut, and she seemed drowsy.

Shane was hugging her gently with his eyes wide open. He was staring at the ceiling, seemingly deep in thought. A while later, Natalie’s breath turned steady and long.

Shane lowered his head to realize that she had fallen asleep. Pressing a kiss to her forehead, he shoved the covers away and climbed out of bed. He then picked her up and strode to the bathroom.

The next day, Shane wasn’t around when Natalie woke up.

His side of the bed was cool to her touch. That could only mean that he woke up ages ago.

I wonder what time he left.

Yawning, she stretched lazily and sat up from bed. Taking her phone, she belatedly realized it was already ten o’clock in the morning.

I can’t believe I woke up this late! There are a few missed calls, but I didn’t even hear them. This is strange.

Natalie proceeded to check why she didn’t hear her phone ringing.

Comprehension dawned when she discovered someone had set her phone on silent mode.

Shane and she were the only ones in the room. Since she wasn’t the one who did that, it could only be Shane.

Natalie was amused, for she could guess why he did so. He must have seen that I was still asleep after tiring me out the whole night. He wanted me to rest more and ended up putting my phone on silent mode.

Shaking her head in resignation, she scrolled through her missed calls. Two of them were from Joyce, who also texted her to ask why she didn’t show up at work that day.

The other two calls were from Lina and the police station.

Natalie sent a voice message to Joyce. “Sorry, Joyce. I overslept this morning, so I’ll be at the office this afternoon. If there are any documents that you want me to sign or any blueprints that need editing, leave them on my desk.”

After that, she called the police station.

She couldn’t help but grow curious as to why the police station gave her a call.

When someone answered the call, Natalie told them her name. The police officer immediately knew why she called. “Oh, Ms. Smith. We called you to talk about the incident involving Lucy Rivers’ slanderous act against you on the plane that happened a while ago. She was held in detention for five days, and her sentence ended today. Ms. Rivers was released today, so we just wanted to let you know about her release.”

Natalie narrowed her gaze. Oh, it’s her. I can’t believe five days ended that quickly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

A flash of disgust appeared in her gaze when she recalled Lucy’s face. “Okay, I got it. Thanks for updating me.”

“You’re welcome.”

The call ended.

Natalie placed her phone aside and massaged her brows before she called Lina.

Perhaps Lina had been waiting for her to call, for the call connected moments after Natalie dialed her number. “Nat!” Lina greeted her warmly.

“Sorry, Lina. I overslept and didn’t hear my phone ringing,” Natalie apologized shyly as she massaged her temple.

Lina chuckled. “Oh, it’s fine. I don’t blame you. Did you have too much fun with Mr. Shane last night and ended up oversleeping this morning?”

“Huh?” Natalie froze before her cheeks turned crimson. “W-What are you talking about?”

Lina chuckled. “Oh, you’re panicking. Looks like I was right. You must have had a wild night with Mr. Shane last night. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have slept till this late. Mr. Shane must be amazing, huh?”

Feeling both ashamed and furious, Natalie shook her head and urged, “Lina, that’s enough. Let’s talk business.”
