They only dared to laugh once Natalie and Shane disappeared out of sight.
Natalie was holding her own laughter in too, and she finally sighed in relief after entering the elevator. She reached
out and unhooked her bag from Shane's shoulder. “Okay, you can give it back now. I don't want you to get laughed
at.”
Despite not saying anything, she had seen her employees' reactions.
Shane had also seen everything, and he pursed his lips. “Whatever. I don't mind what they think of me.”
“But I do.” Natalie clutched onto Shane's arm. “I know you want to help your wife as any good husband would, and
I'm more than happy for you to do that privately. However, I don't want you doing that in front of other people. That
bag really can't live up to your looks. They'll laugh at you and I don't want people laughing at my husband.”
She saw it as her duty to protect her husband's dignity as his wife.
Shane immediately softened.
Natalie slung her bag over her shoulder and asked, “So, where are we going for dinner?”
Shane took out two vouchers from his pocket and passed them to her.
She took a glance at them. “The Walden Hotel's exclusive couple meal?”
She chuckled. “Why did you suddenly think of booking this?”

he gave me this as an apology.”
“I see,” Natalie said with a nod. She flipped the vouchers around and her eyes widened. “It comes with a room?”
“Yup.” Shane nodded.
The corners of Natalie's mouth twitched. “I thought we were just going to eat. Then-”
“Let's stay here tonight,” Shane said as he looked at Natalie. “Jackson said the night view is great from this room.”
“Okay,” Natalie agreed. She put the vouchers in her bag and took out her phone. “I'll call Mrs. Wilson and let her
know so she can watch the kids.”
As she spoke, she started texting Mrs. Wilson.
However, Mrs. Wilson didn't reply to her. She must be busy, Natalie thought.
Just then, the elevator arrived with a ding.
Shane walked out with Natalie hand-in-hand and drove straight to the hotel.
After they reached, Natalie passed the vouchers to the receptionist who immediately arranged for the room to be
set up.
Before long, they were brought to their room.
It was the presidential suite located on the highest floor. It had been specially decorated with rose petals and
candles, transforming the originally neutral presidential suite into a couple's room.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed like Jackson had really gone all out to make up for calling Shane yesterday.
“Woah. Everything is so pretty.” Natalie looked around, her eyes sparkling as they landed on the floor-to-ceiling
windows.
She could see everything from here. The city sparkled colorfully with its nightlife, and she could even spot the
occasional airplane. It was a truly stunning sight to watch.
Shane's thin lips quirked up into a smile at the sight of Natalie's joy.
Seeing as Jackson had finally done something right for once, Shane decided to invest in the medical machinery that
the former had brought up last time.
Suddenly, the door rang.
Shane didn't want to interrupt Natalie's excitement and went to open the door himself.
The waiter was outside with their food. “Sir, this is your dinner for tonight.”
“Bring it in,” Shane said as he let go of the doorknob and turned to let the waiter enter with the food cart.
Natalie just happened to turn around at that moment.
With a polite greeting, the waiter started to set the table.
The waiter retreated with a bow after setting all the food up.
“What a feast!” Natalie exclaimed as she looked at the spread of dishes before them.
