Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1341 

The bet is on! What will the winner be rewarded? Someone asked in the group chat.

The discussion soon got a lot more attention.

That was what everyone wanted to know.

After all, no one would be interested in participating in a bet they could not afford.

One of the higher-ups smirked subtly before typing: A bottle of Louis XiIIl! Louis XIII! Not bad.

Someone's gambling big.

Alright, I am in! Count me in.

One by one, the rest of the room put down their bets.

Following suit, everyone lowered their cell phones and turned their attention to Shane.

Under the anticipation of the board, Shane picked up the phone.

His lips parted and asked, "How's my wife?"

With those three words, the entire conference room was split into two sets of emotions.

Half of them cheered silently in their victory while the other half sighed miserably upon their defeat.

The losing half now had to buy a bottle of Louis XIII each and gifted them to those who won the bet.

Fortunately, everyone in the room was high-ranking officials and had a considerably fat paycheck.

A bottle of Louis XII might be pricey, but it was not something they could not afford.

It would not take long for the losing party to recover from the loss.

Shane was still talking to Natalie in his seat at the head of the table.

His affectionate expression made everyone on the table squirm uncomfortably.

In the past, they had also gossiped about how Shane would act once he fell into the trap of true love.

Everyone wondered if he would remain as icy as he was, or if he would shed his stern look and become warm and gentle.

At that moment, it was evident that the latter had happened. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

After Shane got married, his entire demeanor changed.

He became gentle in both his actions and his speech.

But of course, that side of him was reserved for Natalie only.

When it came to his subordinates, Shane was still as cold as he was prior to his marriage.

Even so, that was enough to shock everyone.

If someone would have told them in the past that Shane would become a gentle person after he started dating and got married, they would never believe the person.

In fact, they would think the person was either crazy or messing with them.

However, reality served to prove that some people truly did a one-eighty after dating and getting married.

It was as though they had a complete switch in their personality.

Shane was the perfect example of how marriage can change a person.

In his seat, Shane seemed to notice the unusual attention he was getting from the board.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke into the phone, "Got it.Take care of yourself over there.Be careful and stay safe.Call me if anything happens.Also, let me know when you get back.I'll pick you up from the airport."

"Okay."

Natalie nodded with a smile.

With that, Shane hung up the call and placed his cell phone on the table.He then swept the room with narrowed eyes and a cold gaze.

"Were you guys gossiping about me a moment ago?"

Everyone immediately shook their heads.

"No! Of course not!"

"Really?"

Shane pursed his lips together in disbelief.

Someone hurriedly stepped up and explained, "Please believe us, Mr.Thompson.We really weren't gossiping about you."

Despite what was being said, the guilt on their faces could not be hidden.

Shane snorted in response.

"Alright, that's enough.Let's resume the meeting."

It was never his intention to keep them on the hook.

He knew that gossiping came naturally to any human being, and as the CEO of a company, he was inevitably the target of most gossip and rumors.

Furthermore, he had not gone out of the conference room to pick up the call.It was no surprise that they would be more curious than usual.

Gossiping was merely the outcome of their curiosity.

Besides, even if he did go out to pick up the call, the outcome would be just the same.

As the meeting continued, the members of the board let out a breath of relief knowing that Shane would not press on the issue any further.

They were worried that Shane would continue to pick on what they said and would find out about the bet they made on him.

If that happened, they would be in deep waters.

Meanwhile, in Baycoast, Natalie put down her cell phone after her phone call with Shane.She then got out of bed and went into the bathroom for a relaxing bath.

After flipping through the channels for a while, she lay in bed and dozed off.

The next morning, Natalie was awakened by the doorbell.

With a yawn, she sat up on the bed and stretched her drowsiness away before throwing off the covers, putting on her slippers, and walking over to open the door.
