Natalie looked at it quizzically.
Indeed, the business card showed that Justin was the CEO of Sutter Group.
There was even a contact number printed on it.
"Sutter Group?" Natalie pursed her lips.
"I've never heard of it before."
"It's just a small company that had just gone public recently.Since the headquarters is in Avenport, I guess it's only normal that you haven't heard of it, Mrs.Thompson."Justin smiled and added, "If you're still doubting me, perhaps you should call Mr.Shane to verify it."
Upon hearing that, Natalie stood up and said, "Since you've said so, then I-I shall give him a call.You don't mind, right? After all, I have to be sure for Joyce's sake."
"Oh, no.Please go ahead."
Justin gestured for her to make the call.
Natalie whipped out her phone to ring Shane.
At that moment, Shane was arranging his files in his office.
When he heard his phone ringing, he put his pen aside and glanced at his phone.He then softened his gaze when he saw Natalie calling him.
Upon picking up the phone, he uttered, "Hello!"
"Darling, I'd like to ask you something." Shane raised his brows.
"Go ahead."
"Do you know Justin Sutter?" Natalie asked while looking at the man before her.
Shane immediately frowned when he heard that.
"Justin Sutter?"
"Yes." Natalie nodded.
Shane pursed his lips, and he seemed unhappy.
With a hint of jealousy in his voice, he asked, "Why are you asking about him? How would you know him?"
Although he knew Natalie wasn't one to mess around with other men, he was still rather uncomfortable with her asking him about another man.Natalie couldn't help but roll her eyes because she noticed the jealousy in his tone.
"Hey, don't get jealous over nothing, okay? I don't know him.It's just that he's now in Joyce's house.He said he was Joyce's childhood sweetheart, and he adores her.He also said he'd come to Baycoast to look for Joyce.I'm just worried if he's a bad guy, and he has ulterior motives.That's why I've called you to verify his identity.Is he the CEO of Sutter Group, which had just gone public in Avenport?"
"Oh, I see."
Shane nodded before replying, "He's indeed the CEO of Sutter Group in Avenport.Sutter Group is involved in light industries, and it has only gone public a few months ago.The company is currently
dealing with one of the subsidiaries of Thompson Group.Recently, they've supplied the subsidiary company with machinery-"
"Okay.Got it." Natalie nodded.
"Anything else?" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Natalie glanced at Justin before saying, "That's all.But I'd like to know if you find it weird that Justin has come to look for Joyce all of a sudden.Do you think he has any ulterior motives?"
Shane toyed with his pen and pondered for a while before replying, "I'm not sure.However, I don't think he needs to do so.Justin is an influential man himself, and his family is even more prominent than Joyce's.By right, he has nothing to gain by approaching Joyce.Of course, there's an exception to everything, right? I know you're worried about Joyce, so you want to make sure of everything.However, you can't always stay by her side and protect her, can you? Hence, regardless of whether he has ulterior motives, I don't think there's a way for you to find out.All you can do is remind Joyce to be vigilant."
Natalie nodded in agreement.
Shane added, "In any case, you're just Joyce's friend.You're not her mother.Instead of wanting to do everything for her, it's good enough of you to remind her of it.If it turns out Justin doesn't have ill intentions toward her, you'd end up souring their relationship.You'll surely be blamed by then.Hence, apart from reminding her to be careful, you ought to leave everything else to her.She's an adult, so I think she's more than capable of watching out for herself.What do you think?"
