Chapter 1712 Stanley Called
Natalie replied with a hum, “Yes.”
“That's great! I'll inform Mr. Thompson in a bit. He's currently in a meeting with the
equipment supplier, so his cell phone is with me. I was on another call just now, so I
couldn't answer your call in time. I apologize, Madam, for making you wait—”
“It's fine.” Before Silas could finish his sentence, Natalie interrupted him while shaking her
head. She didn't mind at all.
All she needed to know was that Shane didn't answer her call because he was busy, not
because he was deliberately ignoring her. Knowing this made her very happy already.
As for the rest, she could understand them all.
Upon hearing Natalie's reassurance, Silas breathed a sigh of relief.
He was concerned that his prolonged delay in answering the phone might upset Natalie.
Fortunately, Natalie was very understanding.
“All right, Mr. Campbell, since you're busy, I won't disturb you any further. Just let Shane
know that I'll wait for him to return. I want to have a good talk with him,” said Natalie.
Silas quickly took in her words and nodded. “Very well, Madam. I will make sure to inform
Mr. Thompson.”
“All right, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
After the call ended, Natalie put her phone down and let out a barely noticeable sigh of
relief.
Lina looked at her with a gleeful smile. “Now you can relax, right? Mr. Thompson isn't
ignoring your calls, he's just too busy.”
Natalie huffed and said, “All right, let's eat. Even food can't keep your mouth shut.”
Although she was saying this, she made no attempt to conceal the smile in her eyes.
Obviously, at this moment, she truly felt at ease, and her mood naturally improved.
Natalie replied with a hum, “Yes.”
“That's great! I'll inform Mr. Thompson in a bit. He's currently in a meeting with the
equipment supplier, so his cell phone is with me. I was on another call just now, so I
couldn't answer your call in time. I apologize, Madam, for making you wait—”
“All right, all right, I'll eat, I won't tease you anymore.” Lina knew that Natalie was feeling
embarrassed, so she chuckled and stopped talking while eating breakfast.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Lina sat down beside Natalie with a tablet in hand.
“Natalie, it's been two days since the finals. Do you know when the results will be
announced? I've been checking the official website from time to time, but the scores
haven't been updated yet. It's driving me crazy!”
Natalie was watching TV while glancing at her sideways with a chuckle. “What's the rush?
When the results are ready, they will be announced. Wasn't it the same with the semi-
finals a while ago?”
“I know, but I really want to know the outcome. I want to know if we are the champions.
During the semi-finals, I was already afraid of being eliminated. Fortunately, we made it to
the top two and had the final match with another pair of contestants. Now, they must be
as nervous as we are, because this will determine which of our teams will be the
champion,” Lina said with a sigh.
Natalie lowered her eyes and said, “To be honest, it's impossible for me not to be anxious,
but a watched pot never boils. When the time comes, the result will naturally be
announced. There's no use in being anxious now. It's better to face the outcome with a
calm heart. No matter what the final outcome is, we'll face it with acceptance, since we've
already tried our best.”
“Yeah, you're right, but I just can't calm down. Forget it, don't worry about me. If I don't
check, I'll be even more restless,” Lina said with a wave of her hand.
Natalie shrugged, “Fine, I won't bother you anymore. You can just refresh the website as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou like.”
“Mm-hmm.” Lina nodded and proceeded to hold the tablet, continuously refreshing the
competition website to check for the results.
However, every time she refreshed, new results never appeared. It only showed results
from the previous round.
This made Lina increasingly agitated, and the more agitated she became, the more she
felt the need to refresh the website.
Seeing her like this, Natalie couldn't help but shake her head, feeling amused and
nonplussed.
What's the point of this?
Creating trouble for oneself was just like the cold war between her and Shane.
Natalie paid no attention to Lina who was struggling with the results beside her. At this
moment, she was completely engrossed in watching the television.
The television was broadcasting the most hilarious variety show of the moment, but
Natalie watched it without any trace of amusement. She couldn't laugh at all.
Because although she was physically here, her heart was with Shane on the other side.
She doesn't know when he would be back.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She gathered her thoughts and picked up her phone to check. Seeing that the caller ID
showed Stanley, she hesitated for a moment, “Why would Stanley be calling me?”
