Bright Future With Him Chapter 25
Kathryn froze when she heard his strange tone. She didn't know what she'd done to upset him. Chris didn't say anything else, and after passing the traffic lights, he parked the car on the side of the road. Kathryn rushed out of the car without bothering to say anything.Chris watched her escape as quickly as a rabbit, his face darkening uncontrollably. Was he so scary that she had to flee like that? When Kathryn arrived at the company, she rushed to Markus' office, telling him that Chris had asked her to see him to sign the agreement. Markus told her seriously, "I'm afraid this agreement cannot be written.""Huh? What do you mean by that?" Kathryn didn't understand. This agreement couldn't be written? Weren't agreements only valid if they were written down? Without a written agreement, once a dispute arose, there would be no way to resolve it!Markus pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, saying earnestly, "The agreement between you and Mr. Albert is a very big deal. If it

Kathryn grimaced. She'd been working here for such a long time, but she hadn't even known that there was a small kitchen. However, for that 100 million dollars, she had to try her best to serve him. She took a deep breath, looking at Chris nervously. Noticing how hesitant she was, Chris asked, "Is there anything else?""There is! Um, Mr. Hunt didn't write an agreement just now.""Did he tell you why?""Yes, he did. I just want to ask. Are you really going to pay me 100 million dollars?" The more Kathryn spoke, the softer her voice became. She knew that it was brash to talk about money in front of wealthy people like Chris, but she was a brash person to begin with. Although Markus had made himself clear, he was just an executive assistant in the Albert Group. The person who called the shots was still Chris. After all, with so much money involved, Kathryn had to get this thing straight.Chris raised his eyebrows. "Is it too little for you?""N—No! I just want to know the validity of

Even though Tally had given Kathryn tons of advice last night, she didn't sleep a wink. Due to Chris' insistence, both he and Kathryn needed to live together throughout their fake marriage. Kathryn was too honest of a person. Tally feared that she would spill the secret by accident."I'm not sure, but he didn't ask about what happened that night, so it should be fine," Kathryn answered."What if he does?" Tally asked urgently. Kathryn looked at Tally in a panic. Tally sighed. "Did you forget what I told you?""What?""If he asks, you have to end the topic as soon as possible. You can't let him dwell on it for even a second!" If he did, things would be riskier for them.Kathryn nodded resolutely. "Yeah, I got it.""You can't let him think about it for even a second, got it?""Got it!" Kathryn nodded again.Both of them knew how astute Chris was. If Kathryn tried to avoid the topic, he would definitely notice something! Tally was silent out of fear. Before, Kathryn simply had to

Kathryn looked at the time on her computer while saying apologetically, "You may have to take them there yourself." Everyone here usually had their own responsibilities, so everyone handled whatever they needed to do on their own. Furthermore, her and Pippa's job scopes were completely different.Pippa protested unhappily, "I have to go for a meeting with Mr. Albert later. We can't afford to delay taking these documents to Enfield Corporation." Janet Smith, who was displeased with Pippa's attitude, stood up and said, "I'll deliver them for you, Ms. Harlow."Kathryn had been the one who accompanied Chris to his meetings. Pippa had never been involved. Kathryn glanced at Chris' office. The blinds were drawn, and she couldn't see a thing. Pippa raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong? You don't believe me, and you want to ask Mr. Albert yourself?"Kathryn looked away and stood up with the documents. "Okay, I'll do it." Usually, there weren't many conflicts in the company, but there had

However, things were different now. Markus retorted with a hint of mockery in his tone, "I should be the one asking you that question."Chris was speechless at his response. Markus continued, "She's your wife, you know!" He wouldn't dare micromanage his boss' wife. They had just gotten married this morning, and yet Kathryn was nowhere to be found.Chris lit a cigarette, took a breath, and said coldly, "She left to take some documents to Enfield Corporation."Hearing his words, Markus' heart stopped. "What documents?"Mr. Weinstein from Enfield Corporation would always approach them, and he was notoriously known as a pervert. Pippa knew that, so she would avoid him every time. Besides, Kathryn didn't know anything about that place. Things would be bad if she bumped into him. Chris had a dark expression on his face. "You should know the answer to that question. Who's in charge of handling things with Enfield Corporation?"Markus froze. Pippa had been really careless. Markus hurriedl

Markus glared at Pippa, expressing his disapproval. "You're too impulsive!" She wasn't just impulsive. She simply forgot what she wasn't allowed to do. Pippa's mind went blank from being lectured. She kept apologizing, but Markus refused to hear her explanations.At this moment, Elise, the other contender for Markus' position, returned from running her errands. When she saw Pippa being disciplined, a smug smile appeared on her face. After the lecture, Markus said, "From now on, Kathryn is only responsible for handling Mr. Albert's affairs. The rest of you will divide the other jobs among yourselves!" If Kathryn had to leave work early, all of them had to work overtime to help finish her work. That was what Markus meant. "Elise, come with me!" Markus stormed away. It was a good thing that he'd found out about this sooner. If anything had happened to Kathryn at Enfield Corporation, Chris would have fired the entire assistant department. Markus had always wondered why Chris was so prot

This was Chris she was talking to. They were in the middle of a meeting for a multi-million dollar project. Yet here Kathryn was, asking about cooking ingredients.Janet and the finance manager exchanged looks. They were both shocked. They expected Chris to get angry and scold Kathryn immediately for her idiocy! But then, they heard Chris's tone soften. "Get both. Can you carry all that?"Janet and the finance manager were speechless. Their chests tightened, and their minds went blank. Was that really Ms. Michaels? A lowly assistant?Kathryn said she could carry the items. Then, she asked whether there really was nothing in the kitchen. Chris confirmed that it was so. Nonetheless, he asked her not to buy too much, worried that she wouldn't be able to carry everything.By now, the entire meeting room knew who he was on the phone with. Even those sitting too far away to hear could tell. They couldn't believe they were seeing such a soft side to Chris. Yes, the tone he used with

Chris frowned. "What kind of pasta is this?""Veggie pasta," Kathryn replied with a straight face. Chris could tell it was veggie pasta. Both the pasta and the vegetables were displayed prominently. But there was nothing else besides that, not even olive oil. If he had to guess, this was probably just boiled pasta. When he sat down and stirred the pasta around with a fork, he confirmed his suspicions. It was boiled pasta and vegetables, plain and simple. Kathryn didn't even add minced meat. When Chris tasted it, he almost spit it out. Noticing his expression, Kathryn panicked again. "I-is it bad?" "You added nothing but salt!" he said, trying his best to remain calm. He'd wanted to try the pasta when Kathryn said she could make many different kinds of pasta this morning. However, he figured he should probably be less curious about her from now on.In the meantime, Kathryn frowned in confusion. "That's how we always made it!"She only got to cook in the past when she was

After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1338
Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
