Mathew parked his car in front of a very luxurious building. He quickly got off to open the car door for Louis, politely inviting him out. Katherine sitting beside also quickly opened the car door and got out.
She looked up at the 80-story building filled with bright electric lights. This place was known as the most luxurious party place in S city. Not everyone who had a lot of money could organize events there. All of the participants in tonight's cocktail party were prominent figures in the business and political world. So this was the reason Katherine insisted on going. The rare opportunity to gather such information would not be too much, while Louis only gave her 2 months to try the job.
Louis talked to Mathew a few sentences, then turned to look at Katherine, who was still brooding. He frowned, and coldly asked, "Still not going inside?"
Katherine wore a black slit dress that hugged her body tightly, highlighting every prominent curve on her body. The curly platinum hair looks extremely noble. She hurried to Louis's side, hesitant to take his hand.
Louis understood her anxiety. He took the initiative to reach out to her. Katherine immediately understood and took his hand. The two of them walked inside.
The security guard, after checking Louis's invitation card, invited him inside. A polite waitress came to greet them and took them to their place.
Today's cocktail party was originally a buffet, not a sit-down one. However, there were two rows of seats closest to the stage for VIP guests. As the CEO of one of the most powerful corporations in the country, Louis would naturally have a seat here.
“Louis, long time no see. Has your corporation implemented any new projects recently?” A middle-aged man walked up to him, offering him a glass of dark red wine.
Louis thanked and accepted it, his handsome face did not show a smile, only faintly replied, "Currently still focusing on the new headquarters in country M, if there is a new project that needs Sir Robert’s help, I hope you will give me a hand.”
Robert Gray laughed, "It’ll be my turn to help you, Louis? If that's the case, then it's my honor…” Before he finished, he turned his attention to Katherine beside him, and asked with some surprise:
“This lady is…?”
Until now, Robert Gray had never seen any of the girls accompanying Louis to the party.
Katherine smiled, bowed slightly to him, and replied, "Hello, Sir Robert Gray, my name is Katherine Jeremy."
However, what Robert was interested in was not her name. He continued to look at Louis as if wanting more answers from him.
Louis took a small sip of his wine, shoving one hand in his pocket. His back was straight, and his face was full of confidence, glancing down at Katherine from above, then said to Robert, "You think who she is?”
“Beautiful couple, of course, the person who accompanied Louis to the party today is not ordinary. Very matching.”
"Really like a couple?" Louis suddenly put his arm around Katherine's shoulder, pulled her close to him… His tone was nonchalant, mocking her, "Yeh I also think so."
After Robert Gray left, Katherine pushed Louis away, her clear eyes looking at him without anger, "My great boss, Louis William has great authority and dignity, I can't be worthy of you. I'll go out for a bit."
Louis watched her back leave, curious in his heart. Elise Grande wasn't interested in parties like this before, so what did Katherine Jeremy want to come here for?
He was very curious about her intentions.
Katherine took a cocktail from the waiter and took a stroll around the hall. This place converged successful businessmen from all over the city of S - the main economic power of the country. She was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with them. Anyway, for the past 7 years, she hasn't been in S city, so she missed a lot of news…
While Katherine was looking around, she accidentally bumped into a man's back. Katherine came to her senses, she put her wine glass on the table next to her and hurriedly took out a towel from her pocket to give to the opposite person.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to… Just now I…”
As soon as she raised her head, her whole body froze for a few seconds. A tall man turned and smiled gently at her:
"Lady, it's OK…"
Both of them looked at each other in surprise for a moment. Finally, the man spoke first, his voice impossibly cheerful, “Eli… Katherine, why are you here?”
Katherine happily hugged him, this man gently hugged her back. She did not answer his question, but instead asked, "Vincent, when did you come back to the country? It's been a long time since I haven't seen you contact me..."
Vincent Blythe straightened her slightly tangled bangs and replied softly:
“I just got back two days ago. Originally, I was going to arrange some good affairs before contacting you… Why are you here?”
Vincent remembered the important matter and asked her immediately.
Katherine turned to look for Louis William but found him surrounded by many other businessmen. She just smiled and replied:
"I came here with Louis."
"Have you met him?" Vincent was surprised.
“Yes, I am his secretary now. Soon, Hologram will cooperate with Flying Star Corporation. I think I will meet that person soon…”
Vincent patted her shoulder, his voice somewhat comforting, "It's okay Katherine, I'm with you. Let's just do as we discussed."
Vincent Blythe was currently a member of the House of Commons under the National Assembly. He was considered one of the youngest people when he was elected to be a member of the House of Commons representing the state M. In childhood, Blythe and Grande's families were close, so Vincent and Katherine had known each other since when they were babies. However, later, the Blythe family moved to M City, and the frequency of meetings between the two gradually decreased, until a few years ago.
While they were chatting happily, the voice of a man not far away made Katherine jump:
“Oh Senator Gilbert Grande, long time no see. How are you doing?"
Gilbert Grande…
She hid behind Vincent Blythe and was sheltered by him, peeking at the approaching middle-aged man in a black suit. Despite his age, he was still in great shape.
This whole scene was captured by Louis William in his sight. The wine glass in his hand was squeezed so tightly that it seemed like it was about to burst.
Katherine, are you cuddling with another man at the party accompanying me?
"I don't want to see him right now."Katherine hid behind Vincent's large back. She spoke softly to him.Gilbert Grande and she both shared the same surname Grande. When they met face to face, wouldn’t he recognize her easily? He was no fool, even if the whole world saw her as Katherine Jeremy, he would always recognize his niece. Because after everything he'd done, he'd been looking for her all these years.Currently, she only knew some basic information about the current Hologram Corporation. She couldn't appear in front of him right now. Surely his powerful influence could crush her hope as easily as a hand, no matter how talented Vincent Blythe was still somewhat afraid of him.Vincent Blythe turned around and patted her shoulder, gently saying, "Okay, you go first. I'll keep an eye on him for you, don't let him face-to-face."Recently, Gilbert Grande, Louis William, and the host of today's cocktail party - the chairman of Sonat Group just finished greeting each other. Of course,
Celina Stewart is the daughter of the Sonat Group's chairman who organized the cocktail party today. At the beginning of the party, she went with her father to get to know each one of them, with a lovely calm that attracted many guests here. However, as soon as she was out of sight of her father, she did something like this.Splashing wine on Louis William? If this story got out, it would definitely cause chaos in the media.The William family and the Stewart family had known each other for a long time. Furthermore, Louis had met Celina so many times that she assumed she could be comfortable in front of him."Apologize to her?" Celina looked at Katherine standing beside him, angry in her heart.If it wasn't for John Stewart - Celina's father came to advise, she certainly would never have apologized to Katherine. Celina looked at it then immediately knew Louis and that hated woman's relationship was not decent. If she hadn't played tricks on Louis, surely Louis would never have brought
“Yah yah you guys know what, Catherine Watson is coming to our company today to discuss the upcoming advertising contract!"Anne Marie - an employee of the secretarial department just got out of the elevator and ran to her work area, informing her colleagues. Katherine also stopped her work and curiously raised her head to listen for information.Immediately, everyone went "Oh" in astonishment.Catherine Watson was a popular pop singer recently. In particular, after the world tour in the past 8 countries, Catherine received more and more support from many music lovers. Flying Star Group was about to inaugurate a shopping center, so they want to invite the influencer in showbiz to be the face of it.

When it was time to leave work, everyone in the secretarial department left one by one, but only Katherine was still working hard.Anne Marie walked through Katherine's desk, patted gently her shoulder, and comforted her, "Dear Katherine, happy overtime."Katherine looked at Anne with pitiful eyes, "Anne, you've been working here for three years. Boss is often cruel to everyone like this?”Anne leaned into Katherine's ear and whispered, "Our boss is a workaholic. You also saw him sleeping in the office without coming home. Only you in our department were asked to work overtime, proofing that our boss favors you the most."Is that called 'favor'? Katherine really did not dare to accept this favor!After 7 pm, the whole working floor was left with only Katherine, who was diligently in front of the computer arranging schedules for Louis and the respected boss in his private room. If he had exploited her labor, she also made him work so hard that he wanted to die.Creak!The door to Louis
Katherine's whole body was pushed against the side of the carriage. Her back was in contact with the cold car window glass. After trying for a few minutes, she was able to push Louis away.“Louis, what are you doing?” Katherine asked loudly.The cherry lips that had just been kissed were so devoured that they were swollen and red.Louis was pushed back, his hand brushing lightly over his lips. He gradually regained his composure, returning to his upright posture, confident and poised at Katherine's question. A low voice with a hint of teasing:"Not bad. Didn't you say you want to be my girlfriend? Today is your birthday, I help you fulfill part of your wish."Katherine thought about the sounds that might have been heard by Vincent just now, and she couldn't help but blush. Hearing his provocation, she was so embarrassed that she suddenly became angry:“If I said I wanted to sleep with you, would you agree too?”"OK..." Louis replied immediately, he carried her on his shoulder, causing
"Have a seat." Louis put off his apron, holding each plate of food he had just cooked, and placed it on the table.Louis's voice was really gentle, making Katherine who was watching TV startle. She looked at his actions, feeling warm inside. Her beautiful face smiled softly. He didn't seem to be hostile toward her anymore, she could talk to him more easily, right?Katherine obediently sat down at the dining table. Louis put his hand on her forehead to check the temperature, it was still as hot as before, he winced.“Why is it still so hot? Have you taken your medicine yet?”Katherine shook her head. She hadn't taken medicine after buying from the pharmacy store, just because she didn't think it was necessary. Just let it cool down on its own, she doesn't like taking medicine anyway."What a fantastic meal. Thank you." Katherine smiled at him.Right after that, he patted her head and went to the sofa. Louis casually read a newspaper on the table, looked as serious as when working at th
“I already found her. She is hiding under the bridge. Come here quickly!”It started to pour torrential rain. A man holding a flashlight shone directly at her under the bridge. Elise's face was white, she shivered backward but found that someone else stopped her. While he was not paying attention, she bravely rushed forward, snatched the sharp knife from his side, and pushed him into the lake.Elise rushed out. The rain erased the whole sky, causing her face to hurt, and her whole body was shaking because of the cold. The people in black suits had gathered around her by now. Flashlight shining into her eyes made her disoriented, she held the knife to her neck and shouted:“Don't come near me. Otherwise, I will kill myself.”The others immediately stopped, looking at each other in bewilderment. Their master only said to take this girl back alive, not kill her. Of course, they don't dare to kill people freely.Like a leader, one of them softened his voice to negotiate, “Lady, we just to
“Okay, I just came to see if you were okay. My little girl has grown up, so I no longer have to worry about you."Finally, Vincent stood up. He gently stroked Katherine's head, his voice as soft as honey.Vincent Blythe, without a doubt, embodied the essence of a perfect man in the hearts of women. Unlike Louis, who exuded a cold and distant demeanor, Vincent was a radiant source of warmth, akin to the sun itself. Wherever he went, he effortlessly endeared himself to countless people, for his demeanor was one of utmost friendliness and approachability. At 28 years old, Vincent held a prominent position in the lower house, a testament to his exceptional capabilities.

At Flying Star Corporation. "What?! I'm responsible for this ad shoot?" Katherine stood before Louis's desk, hands clutching a thick sheaf of papers, her platinum blonde hair neatly tied back, epitomizing elegance. Louis his usual air of authority, put down the glossy pen he had been using moments earlier. He leaned forward, the dim light catching the hint of a smirk playing on his lips, "Yes, you are." Katherine felt a whirlwind of emotions. As Louis's secretary, she was accustomed to orchestrating his daily schedule and attending to his every demand. This naturally put her in touch with the company's major clients, particularly giving her insights into Hologram Corporation's recent undertakings. However, entrusting her with overseeing a crucial project was an unexpected testament to Louis's trust in her. "You're not just overseeing the shoot, but also our grand opening of the new shopping complex," Louis continued, leaning in just a tad closer, his eyes never leaving hers. Louis
