Chapter 9: New collaboration

“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. This time, the person they needed was Catherine.

If it was to talk about inviting Catherine to cooperate, she thought there would be no difficulty. Because that day at the restaurant she used to work for, Catherine and Louis knew each other, moreover their relationship seemed extremely close.

Deep in thought, Mathew Thompson walked over to her desk and tapped the table to wake her up...

“Katherine, what are you so lost about?”

"It's nothing…" Katherine being confused ran a hand through her hair, then smiled shyly at him.

Mathew checked his watch, then slowly gave her the task, “At nine o'clock, Miss Catherine will be here. I have to go out to finish other things boss told me to do. So please welcome Miss Catherine on behalf of me."

“Okay, I know…”

Following Mathew's instructions, Katherine was in the company lobby to pick up Catherine. As soon as the clock turned 9 o'clock, she saw a black Bentley car parked in front of the company's door. Immediately, a graceful woman stepped down. In front of her was a very beautiful woman, wearing a black shirt dress with a belt and sunglasses to avoid being recognized. The outfit was very simple but exuded the aura of a star.

Katherine quickly walked over to the woman, smiled, and introduced herself, "Hello, Miss Catherine, I am Sir Louis' secretary. I'm here to welcome you to meet him."

Catherine was still wearing her sunglasses, just wanted to go fast so as not to be noticed by too many people. She nodded once, then followed Katherine into the elevator.

While going through the secretarial department to enter Louis's office, everyone around was extremely excited to see this very famous singer with their own eyes.

“Oh, I never thought I could meet Catherine so easily… She's really pretty in real life.”

Anna Marie reached out and pulled Katherine's hand, whispering in her ear, "Katherine, remember to ask for her signature later. I've been her fan for a long time!"

Katherine just smiled and walked away.

Standing in front of Louis's door, she knocked twice.

"Come in!"

After confirming the consent of the owner, Katherine dared to open the door, leaned slightly, and politely invited Catherine inside.

Right now, Louis was concentrating on work. His hair was neatly combed up, his eyes were glued to each page of the document he was reading, and the glasses he was wearing accentuated the sharp lines of his face.

As soon as he saw Catherine enter, he immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up, and walked towards her. When Catherine entered Louis's office, it was like a heavy burden was lifted. She took off her sunglasses, went over to give Louis a hug, and then touched each other's cheeks in a French greeting.

And the whole scene was witnessed by Katherine.

“Early morning made you come here to sign the contract. It's hard for you…” Louis told Catherine to sit down on the sofa, and he sat on the opposite side.

Katherine very quickly poured each person a glass of warm water. Then she asked slowly, "Miss Catherine, what would you like to drink?"

“Just give me a cup of coffee. Thank you.” Catherine smiled briefly and nodded politely.

After saying that, she turned to Louis to answer, "It's okay. I just got home yesterday, I'll be off for a week soon. There is plenty of time to rest…”

The two chatted for a while, Katherine also brought coffee in, along with a contract signed by Louis.

After preparing enough coffee for the two of them, Katherine handed the contract to Catherine Watson, then said:

“Miss Catherine, this is a contract to cooperate in the upcoming promotional campaign that our corporation has prepared. I sent you to read through the terms, if you have any problems, you can directly talk to our CEO.”

Catherine looked up and reached for the contract. At this time, she suddenly realized something, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked a little confusedly, "Wait a minute, I see that you are very familiar. Have we met before?"

Katherine was about to answer, when Louis interrupted, "Catherine, take a look. If you need any more terms, feel free to discuss, you know I won't be narrow-minded about this."

“Fine, I'll sign it right away, ok? I know for sure you won't do anything detrimental to me. In the future, contact my assistant to discuss more about the schedule."

“Oh yes, Louis, I want to invite your mother out for dinner tonight. Do you want to come along? It's been a while since we had dinner together…” Catherine said while signing.

"Forget it, I have to meet my partner tonight."

Louis took a sip of his coffee, his eyes drifting to Katherine, who was still standing to get the contract.

As soon as he finished speaking, Katherine immediately looked at him with a surprised expression. Who are you meeting tonight? She was of course the one who knew his schedule very well. As far as she remembered, this week he turned down all social parties, forcing her to call each partner to apologize and reschedule. Remembering that, she was still extremely angry with this man.

Catherine invited him to dinner and he refused?

"It's ok. I come home first. Have fun at work! If you have time, come home to visit your family more."

Katherine carefully put the contract away and sent Catherine down the hall. Five minutes later, as soon as she returned to her desk, she received a call from the CEO's office.

“Come and meet me now.”

Soon, Katherine reappeared in this room. Looking at it, it was clear that she had cleaned up for him very cleanly after leaving, was there anything he wanted to assign her?

“This campaign will be in charge of you. Mathew will hand over the entire list of partners that you need to contact and welcome. Remember to work well.”

Louis returned to work seriously. His voice was steady and cold, Katherine answered and was about to leave.

But who would have thought, Louis still hadn't let her go, "Tonight work overtime."

Overtime?

"Why so sudden?" Katherine turned around and asked him a bit confusedly.

Louis put the pen down on the table, the handsome face looked up at her: "I'll work overtime tonight. You are my secretary, of course, you have to stay with me. Is this reason reasonable enough?

Fucking reason! You are exploiting other people's labor excessively!

“There is no such rule in this corporation.” Today, Katherine suddenly became more sensitive than usual. She felt discomfort in her heart, expressed in words to Louis.

“In this corporation, I am the rule. If you don't comply, I have the right to fire you."

Angry! So angry that she wanted to cry!
