Bright Future With Him Chapter 31
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

Usually, Tally would have lunch with Kathryn at the cafeteria. Yet, neither of them was spotted there that day. The other departments didn't mind. However, the front desk and assistants department was a little nervous, especially the assistants department. They had been fighting for the position of executive assistant. And now, Kathryn had spent the entire lunch hour in Chris' office.What was going on? Was she trying to seduce him? If so, then she was playing with fire. Everyone in the Albert Group—in Harborlean—knew that Chris Albert couldn't be easily seduced. So right now, everyone in the department was waiting for Kathryn's inevitable end. Meanwhile, Kathryn was nodding off in the break room after lunch. Chris shot her a look and said, "Do the dishes!" "Oh, okay!" She was awake in an instant. It was only fair if she did the dishes. This was something she knew how to do, so there wouldn't be any mistakes. Chris had a habit of napping. By the time Kathryn had cleaned

"Ow…" Kathryn moaned in pain. Her hair was saved, but the freed lock of hair was clearly a little shorter now. Chris had probably snapped it while wrenching it free.Before she could react, she heard Chris say coldly, "Out!". She didn't dare look at him or even breathe as she ran out. Only when she was out of the office did she realize that her forehead and back were drenched in sweat. Meanwhile, Janet, Elise and Pippa had returned from their lunch break. They were looking at her with strange expressions. Elise and Pippa even looked at her disdainfully. Judging from her pale face, they concluded that Kathryn had failed to seduce Chris. She was about to get fired from Albert Group. Even Kathryn thought that she would get fired for sure. "Are you okay?" Janet walked up to her and handed her a glass of water. She'd heard that call between Kathryn and Chris in the meeting room. So, she had a view on their true relationship. However, Kathryn was still so scared she couldn't thi

As long as Kathryn and Chris weren't living under the same roof, they would surely have fewer problems.Kathryn nodded. Tally was right!Chris had looked at her the same way he'd looked at women who tried to seduce him—threateningly and murderously! "Won't Albert Group fire me?" Kathryn looked at Tally worriedly.Tally shook her head. "Nah, he still needs you to be his wife. He's not going to fire you."Why did they get married in the first place? He needed to deal with his family, of course.That was why firing her now would be a bad move!He'd probably still keep her around, but he just won't let her get too close. This disaster was a blessing in disguise for Kathryn.After all that, Kathryn felt much better and less worried."But you need to be more careful from now on. Mr. Albert may be staying away from you now, but you've left a terrible impression on him," Tally said. Kathryn nodded furiously. "Alright. I will."Even though she was nodding so sincerely, Tally was

When Chris heard that, he looked at her.Kathryn wrung her hands together nervously.Chris nodded. "Not bad. It suits you."She was tall, about 5'6" at first glance. Her slender figure was pleasing to look at.He stood up and walked to the sofa. He said in a commanding tone, "Come here."Kathryn obediently walked over, and Chris sat her down on the sofa.She felt so nervous when his warm palms touched her shoulders. Her heart felt like it'd jumped to her throat.She had no idea what Chris was doing but didn't dare say a word. Next thing she knew, Chris's slender fingers combed through her hair. Out of nervousness, Kathryn said, "I'll get a haircut on my next day off!" She was a little pained when she said that. Heaven knew how much she loved her long hair. Even her grandmother said that a girl's hair must be cherished because it was grown with their very lives."Why?" Chris asked."I—"The embarrassing incident from this afternoon flashed across her mind. Kathryn blushed in

Outside the office, Elise and Pippa were purposefully walking past the door. They thought Kathryn would get yelled at after going in, and then she'd be fired. However, they had walked past the door several times by now. Nothing seemed to be happening. They exchanged looks. Just as they wondered whether she was fired, the office door suddenly opened. Chris came out with a spotless outfit … and Kathryn's hand in his?Elise and Pippa had been waiting to celebrate Kathryn getting fired, so they froze. They completely forgot to react when they saw the two holding hands.Kathryn was very anxious now! The hand Chris was holding felt like it was in an oven, and she flinched a bit under their heated gazes!"What's wrong?" Chris looked at her.Kathryn said nothing.Pippa and Elise gasped, especially when they saw Kathryn's limited edition, branded outfit.Could it be? Had she successfully seduced him? No way!It was easy to believe if they were talking about someone else, but this w

But leaving with her hand in his …Chris looked at her with zero warmth in his gaze. "Didn't Markus explain it to you?""What?""It's our agreement that needs to be kept secret!""Yes, that's what Mr. Hunt said. What's the difference between that and keeping our marriage secret?""Did he mention that no matter who asks what happened that night at Northvale, you have to say it was you?""Mmhmm." Kathryn nodded. He did say that.But it was fine if Chris didn't mention that night. Now that he did, she was getting nervous again."So you think our marriage needs to be a secret?"Kathryn still hadn't figured out what was going on, so she looked at him dumbly.Seeing her clueless look, he smacked her on the head!Now Kathryn understood. "Sorry, Mr. Albert. I thought we had to keep it a secret the whole time.""Ha! You think I need to hide my marriage?" Chris laughed coldly.It wasn't like they were doing something shameful. Why the secrets?Kathryn thought they were supposed to

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.
