Chapter 1094

“Mr. Shane,” Silas said, looking toward Shane with a mixture of nervousness and hope.

Although she told me to get someone else to do it, Mr. Shane is still my boss. I need to get his
permission first.

Shane took in the warning look Natalie shot at him and Silas’ hopeful gaze. Massaging his temples, he
replied, “Do as she says.” Practically jumping with excitement, Silas thanked them profusely.

Natalie grinned. “All right. Hurry on your way then.”

“Right away!” Silas picked up the bag and left.

Natalie hugged Shane’s arm and chided gently, “I know you regard Mr. Campbell highly, but you have
to consider his situation at times. He’s already thirty years old and has finally found a girlfriend. Even if
you don’t give him more time off to nurture their budding relationship, you shouldn’t overwork him.”

“When have I ever done that?” Shane demanded, looking at her indignantly.

Silas is my subordinate. Isn’t it his duty to follow my orders?

Natalie knew Shane like the back of her hand, and she could tell what was running through his mind
with just one glance. Smiling, she shook her head. “Look at you. I won’t talk about all the work you ask
him to do during working hours. However, you also call him after working hours and ask him to do this
and that! What’s worse, you get him to do work for you late at night! In this case, aren’t you
overworking him?”

Shane could not find the words to respond.

It’s true. Whenever I need anything, I’ll call Silas regardless of the time and day. I’ve done it for so
many years that I’ve gotten used to it. Moreover, Silas has never uttered a single complaint. That’s why



I never thought that I was doing anything wrong.

“So, you should try and let others do some things now and again. Don’t pile everything onto Mr.
Campbell. Besides, you said that you’d transfer him after a while. What’s going to happen if he
becomes the subsidiary company’s CEO? Are you going to call and ask him to come back when you
need something?” Natalie continued, giving him a smart tap on his forehead.

Shane grabbed her hand and pressed it to his lips. “All right. You’re saying all this just because you
hope that I’ll give Sally and Silas more time to spend with each other, right?”

“You got me,” Natalie admitted frankly with a laugh.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto his lap. “You made it so obvious, so how could I
have missed it? Did Sally ask you to say all that?”

“Or course not! It was my own idea. They’ve had very little time to spend with each other since they
started dating, so I thought I’d try and help them out,” Natalie replied, leaning against his chest.

Shane pondered for a few seconds. “All right. I’ll contact the HR department later and ask them to train
some other assistants.”

By doing so, there will be someone to take Silas’ place once he gets transferred.

“You’re the best, Darling!” Natalie put an arm around his neck and gave him a quick kiss.

Shane’s eyes darkened. When Natalie started to move away, he raised his hand and placed it on the
back of her head. Leaning even closer, he pried her lips open and deepened the kiss.

At the same time, Connor and Sharon woke up.



Seeing the scene before them, Sharon was about to call out when Connor quickly covered her mouth
and whispered, “Hush, don’t make a sound. Let’s pretend to be asleep. If Mommy and Daddy realize
that we’re awake, Mommy will get embarrassed and push Daddy away, and Daddy will blame us for it.”

Sharon nodded immediately.

Connor lifted his hand off her mouth. Then they quietly lay back down on the couch and closed their
eyes, pretending to be asleep.

They thought their movements were quiet and did not attract Shane’s and Natalie’s attention.

In truth, Shane and Natalie had noticed it at once.
