CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053“Okay,” Sally said as she followed her out of the guest room.
They had expected to hear news of Jacqueline being caught by the time they were done with the
competition in the afternoon, but Jacqueline didn't even show up at the clubhouse that day. None of the
staff members received any packages either.
Thinking Jacqueline might show up later that day, Natalie decided to wait a little longer.
However, there was still no sign of Jacqueline even at night.
Natalie had gotten so used to receiving those packages that she actually found it strange when she
went a whole day without getting any.
“Shane, do you think Jacqueline knows about our plans to catch her? Could that be the reason why
she didn't dare show up today?” she voiced her thoughts out during their video call after taking a
shower.
Shane had started his business trip that day, and the time zone in that country was similar to Astoria's,
so it was nighttime for him as well.
He, too, had just finished showering and was drying his hair while seated on his bed. Instead of his
usual aloof elite vibes, Shane was giving off a lazy yet sexy vibe at the time.
Draping the towel over the back of his neck, Shane held the phone with both hands as he stared at her
on the screen. “That's possible. Of course, she might also just be doing this on purpose to have you
lower your guard.”
“Have me lower my guard?” Natalie stared at him in confusion.Shane nodded. “Yeah. She thinks you're scared after receiving those packages for three days in a row,
so she stops for a while to make you think she won't send them anymore. Once you've finally lowered
your guard, she'll send you another one. How do you think you'd react when that happens?”
Natalie gave it some thought. “I'd freak out thinking I'm being stalked.”
“Exactly. This might also be what she's playing at.”
“That's such a dirty move!” Natalie exclaimed.
“Some people don't care how dirty they have to play as long as they get what they want,” Shane
reminded her.
“Yeah, you're right.” Natalie lifted the blanket and climbed into bed.
She had a gentle look in her eyes when she glanced at her kids, who were fast asleep in the bed next
to hers.
“All right, let's put this stressful topic aside for now. The kids were asking me when you'd be arriving.”
“My flight is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, so I should be arriving at night. Don't come pick me up,
though. If Jacqueline shows up at the airport and gets stopped by the bodyguards, she might just open
her nasty package on the spot and cause a huge panic at the airport,” Shane said sternly with a frown.
Natalie nodded in acknowledgment. “All right, we'll wait for you here at the clubhouse. We can move
back to the villa afterward.”
“Have me lower my guard?” Natalie stared at him in confusion.
Shane nodded in agreement, and the two chatted a little while longer before hanging up.
The next morning went by with no sign of Jacqueline nor her nasty packages.Maybe Shane is right about Jacqueline getting me to lower my guard so she can scare me again. She
sure has gotten weaker with her tactics! She used to be really vicious and lethal in her approaches, but
now she's stooping as low as pulling disgusting pranks!
Natalie snickered at the thought of that.
“Nat, is Mr. Shane arriving soon?” Sally asked all of a sudden.
Natalie glanced at her watch and replied, “He should be. He called me ten minutes ago saying he's left
the airport, and it's quite a short drive from there to here.”
“I know Mr. Shane didn't let us pick him up at the airport, but we should be allowed to greet him at the
clubhouse entrance, right?” Sally suggested.
The kids were quick to agree with it. “Yeah, Mommy! We'll be able to see Daddy right away if we wait
for him at the entrance!”
Natalie didn't want to disappoint them when she saw how excited they were. “All right, let's go.”
“Yay!” The kids clapped happily before running toward the door hand-in-hand.
Natalie wasn't too worried about their safety as their bodyguards were following close behind them.
Shene nodded in egreement, end the two chetted e little while longer before henging up.
The next morning went by with no sign of Jecqueline nor her nesty peckeges.
Meybe Shene is right ebout Jecqueline getting me to lower my guerd so she cen scere me egein. She
