2022-03-27 18:06:47Kathleen returned to the company promptly. When she arrived on the top floor, she saw Aaron was asking Tiara, Ryan's secretary if she saw her.
"Did you see Kathleen anywhere?" Aaron asked.
"I don't, Mr Castell. I think she's probably going out to have lunch. It's lunch hour right now," Tiara replied.
Aaron was silent. That couldn't be true because he just had a lunch meeting together with Kathleen before when he met Donna Taylors. He walked back to his office only to realize that Kathleen was returning to her desk again.
"Where did you go?" Aaron asked her immediately even before she had the chance to sit down.
"Uh... I went out to buy something," Kathleen gave a fake excuse and smiled faintly at him to hide the suspicion.
He stared at her sharply and leaned his face closer to her.
"What thing?" His interrogation mood was on all of a sudden. He didn't know why he felt uneasy not knowing where she went. 'Did she meet another man behind

Not even one word was able to come out of her mouth. Nora turned speechless as if there was a lump inside her throat that hindered her from talking. Seeing the ferocious gaze of her father, she didn't even dare to defend herself. She knew she had no talent in the business world, but she refused to admit it.Her aunties and uncles had convinced her to take away the Managing Director's position from Kathleen. They even forced her father to dismiss Kathleen from the company. The reason was that the company was built and established by her father and her late mother, so some outsider like Kathleen was not supposed to be part of the company even though she was her father's biological daughter. Kathleen was just a daughter to a former secretary whom her father married, so Nora didn't think someone like Kathleen deserved to have such an important role inside the company.Nora loathed Kathleen so much because she knew their father favoured Kathleen more than her. Her father ev

Certainly, as a father, Kenneth was supposed to protect her from such poor treatment. But he too had his hands tied on his back regarding those matters because most of the Campbell's family members were shareholders of the company and they would only show their support to him as the Chairman of the company if he listens to their requests. Thus, when they told him to dismiss Kathleen and let Nora take over her place, Kenneth had no choice but to do it.It didn't mean that his decision didn't break his heart. It did. After all, he had invested so much in Kathleen to learn business and she was a smart student to begin with. If only he had a choice, he would make her his successor, but the other shareholders would not be happy with such a decision. Thus, despite knowing that Liam and Nora were not as competent as Kathleen was, he still had no choice but to choose the two as his successors. In fact, both Liam and Nora each had five percents shares of the company. Meanwhile, Kathle

"That's none of your concern," Kathleen shot him an icy glare while walking towards her car again. Liam followed her. "Of course, it's my concern," he said while holding her shoulder from behind, stopping her from entering the car. Kathleen turned her head around to look at him. "You're only concerned because Aeroxx might surpass Campbell, isn't it?" She smirked at him and as expected, that man fell silent. "Stop, Liam. Stop controlling me like the rest of the Campbell family members. I'm done being the puppet. I'm not going to come back to Campbell and then be forced again to get to know a new guy so that I can get married. You guys probably wondering why I broke off the engagement before with Rodney. It's not because I'm trying to become a rebel against the Campbell. It's because..." Kathleen's lips trembled. She was not sure if she should tell that matter to Liam. "Because of what?" Liam got curious. "It's because... Nora slept with him. I saw it with my own eyes, they spent a

"Why are you here?" Ryan asked more. "You know why... I heard the other day, Aaron had a blind date with Sara Anderson... Why? Why? Why?" The woman made an exaggerated reaction as if she was depressed. "Why what? Shouldn't you be happy? Your role model had a date with your crush. You should support her," Ryan mocked her, knowing well enough how much his sister idolized Sara Anderson. "I don't like Sara anymore. How dare she try to steal my man," Ariella responded shamelessly, claiming Aaron as hers. "Aaron is not your man... yet," Ryan quipped at her and he saw that woman twitching her lips in annoyance. "Ryan... help me... go ask Aaron to join us for lunch," Ariella suddenly pleaded with him. "I'm not going to lunch with you," Ryan rejected her request and her plan to have lunch together simultaneously. "Oh, come on... Just this once. Introduce me to Aaron," Ariella begged more. "He already knew you. If he's inte

She sat there leisurely without having any thoughts in her mind. Her eyes just stared out of the window looking at the passersby outside with a smile on her face. Seeing her sitting there, Aaron quickly changed his mind and went to sit beside her.'There's no way I'm going to let Ryan sit beside you or there's no way I'm going to sit beside Ariella,' Aaron mumbled in his head while taking his seat. Kathleen was stunned to see him suddenly sitting next to her. She clearly saw him choose the seat in front of her just now.Her head slowly turned to Ariella who was now looked so sour while staring at Aaron. That woman slowly landed her bottom on the chair, feeling a bit embarrassed that Aaron suddenly changed his seat inconsiderately as if he made it so clear that he wanted to sit beside Kathleen.Ryan was the last to arrive at the table. When he saw the arrangement there, he was momentarily confused. He stared at Aaron for a long time, having his brows knitted.

"What should I do? I don't want Aaron to be with that woman," Ariella repeated her question, and this time she sounded even more desperate. She stared down at the ground with a dejected face. Aaron didn't even show interest in her during their lunch before. He only focused on feeding Kathleen even though she was just right in front of him. Ryan thought for a while. Honestly, he too hoped the same thing as his sister. He didn't want Aaron to be with Kathleen either. His fingers rubbed his chin while his mind pondered about what kind of thing he could do to make Aaron notice his sister's affection. "How about you come again tomorrow? But come a bit early this time. Maybe about half an hour before lunch," Ryan made a suggestion. "Why? Are you going to ask him to have lunch together with us again? Only the three of us this time?" Her eyes glimmered with expectations. "No," Ryan replied shortly and Ariella frowned instantly. He chuckled at her reac

She noticed that Ryan sighed in relief and a faint smile formed on his face. He nodded lightly as if feeling satisfied with her answer. "I'm sorry if this sounds sudden. Tomorrow, I have a dinner meeting with one of our clients, Mr Chang. Can you accompany me to the meeting?" Ryan suddenly asked. "Can't Tiara go with you, Mr Thompson?" Kathleen was confused by his sudden request. She was not his secretary, so she didn't understand why he asked her to go to the dinner meeting with him. "I don't want to bother her at night. I'm going to be outstation tomorrow morning. Probably until lunch hour and Tiara would be going with me. It might strain her if she needs to come with me to the dinner meeting again that night," Ryan explained. "Ohhh..." Kathleen responded slowly, turning silent because she was thinking about it. "Sorry. It's probably too much to ask. Besides, it's not even part of your job. It's okay if you can't," Ryan said considerately, d

"Her stomach would probably grumble right now..." he murmured more, remembering how loud Kathleen's stomach would grumble when she was hungry. In fact, in the past, he had heard it a few times already. He chuckled as his mind recalled the memories. "Why are you laughing? Where's your cat? I don't see any inside this room. Is it in a cage?" Ariella was completely clueless. Aaron looked at her and chuckled again, feeling funny to see her confused gaze. He didn't answer any of her questions. Instead, he stood up and went to the door. He opened it a little just enough for his head to peek out. Kathleen shifted her gaze to the Chairman's office immediately when she heard the door was opened. Aaron's head came out, staring at her intently. "Yes, Mr Castell?" She stared back at him, expecting to get an order from that man. "The food hasn't arrived yet?" He asked slowly, almost whispering. "No. Not yet, boss," she replied quickly. "Call me Aaron... or baby... or honey... or my dear..."

"You must be the less popular Castell, you didn't seem to be able to find anyone to mingle with at this party," Liam approached Adrian Castell from behind. The man turned around instantly at his words and scoffed when he realized it was Liam."So did you. The only Campbell who got invited," Adrian jested back."I talked with Aaron a bit just now," Liam went to stand beside him and offered to clink their drink glasses together, as a sign of affinity. Adrian just went along with it and then they sipped on their drinks while staring at the exact same spot, Sandra and her friends."She probably going to be my sister-in-law in the future. So I ought to come to her birthday party and make peace with her," Adrian remarked."Are you sure? Has Aaron introduced her to your family?""Not yet. Actually, he didn't really seem to give much thought to dating this woman... I mean, he had his entire focus on the company development, I don't think he had the time to date around.""So, why do you think

When Aaron left Sandra alone heartlessly, Seth Martin approached her. He took out a small velvet box from his suit and gave it to her. It looked like a ring box because it was small. Sandra thought it was a ring so she didn't dare to accept it."Just open it first," Seth said solemnly. He didn't put her birthday present on the gift table along with the other presents she got from her friends before. That was because he wanted to give it to her by himself.She took it carefully and glanced at Aaron that now stood so far away. The guy didn't seem to care about what she was doing. Sandra sighed heavily and opened the small box from Seth. There was a pair of pink crystal earrings inside."I thought it might match your personality. You always wore pink ballerina dress when you're teaching your students at the academy," Seth remarked."Thank you..." She replied slowly, showing almost no reaction after seeing the earrings. Her heart was still a bit disappointed that Aaron hadn't thought abou

Instantly, the word 'marriage' came up in Liam's mind. 'Did he mean having a truce through marriage?' He wondered. Aaron turned around and was about to leave him alone."Regardless, you won't be able to get back with Kathy. She didn't use our family name. So, she would be out of the picture for the truce arrangement," Liam said to die our Aaron's expectation of having a chance to be with Kathleen again."Really? Then, there's still Nora. Let's see what Kathy would think seeing her ex-husband marrying her half-sister. Let's just be one big happy family," Aaron emphasized his last sentence purposely, to piss off Liam."So, you're going to just agree to marry someone who steal from you before and ruined your company despite having a girlfriend right now? Look at Sandra right there. She's all happy thinking you love her wholeheartedly. But here you are plotting revenge on my family through a marriage arrangement. You're really a heartless guy, Aaron. Kathy would be so disappointed with yo
MY ANNOYING BOSS: AARON CASTELL Chapter 117: Birthday Party
In the same week, Liam suddenly got an invitation to go to a birthday party at a local clubhouse owned by Castell Corporation, The Heritage. He felt odd about it because he didn't know who the person celebrating the birthday was. It was actually Sandra Wilson.A few months after Kathleen left, Aaron got back together with Sandra. He did it out of frustration, trying to find a way out of his feelings for Kathleen. The relationship went well but he never go intimate with Sandra. He still kept his boundary with her despite people starting to notice their relationship. In fact, he never made any special announcement or declaration saying that Sandra was his new partner. They were just together casually.On a Tuesday night, he held a surprise birthday party for Sandra. It was her thirtieth birthday party and Aaron invited all her friends and his friends too. Even Liam was included in the invitation. Certainly, Aaron deliberately did that to show Liam how well he moved on from his past marr

Rodney just shook his head as a response and all the policemen left his private room, giving him some privacy to rest. He was about to lie down on the bed again but his phone rang. He took it out from his suit that was placed on the bedside table, thinking that it might be a call from his family. But when he checked the caller ID, it was Nora Campbell."Fuck you! I'm not going to fucking answer that," he cursed alone while just throwing the phone back on his suit. He didn't dare to answer the call because it might be a test from Liam. Who knows what kind of trouble he might get into again if he answers the call from Nora? He had promised Liam last night that he won't bother Nora nor Kathleen again so from this moment forward, he had obstinately decided to never be in contact with any of the women at least for a few months.***"Are you sure about this?" Liam was on the phone with Kathleen. It had been two months since she left the country."Yeah... I think it would be better this way.

He saw Liam staring at him with some kind of menacing expression. Rodney got an instant reaction of trying to escape the room. He stood up and went after the door, but Liam was faster to block the exit."Not so fast..." Liam said with a sinister laugh."You just arrived..." he added and pushed Rodney's chest, making the man sit down again."I... I... I think I can't be too long here. I'm sure my parents won't let me stay out too late," Rodney stuttered in his words, trying to find some excuse to escape."Oh... come on Rodney. We're of the same age. I'm sure you could find some better excuse than that," Liam replied snickeringly."Why do you want to meet up with me anyway? We aren't that close. If this is about Kathy, I swear I never bother her anymore after she broke the engagement. I really never bother or pester her anymore. I swear," Rodney begged to be spare as Liam leaned his body closer to him and his collar was grabbed."You should have walked away silently after Kathy found y

"What did you say? What's his name again?" The man seemed in a state of disbelief. He wished that he just heard it wrongly."Aaron Castell," but Luffy repeated the same name.Liam was speechless. He glanced at his stepmother and the woman could see from his expression that something was wrong."Why?" She asked in anxiousness."Aaron came," Liam murmured to her in an almost inaudible voice."Sir?" Luffy was still in the line, waiting for the next order from Liam."Don't let him in. I'm coming there," Liam said and put down the phone.Victoria wanted to follow him out of the house but he told her to just stay inside. She was not in a stable condition right now and he feared she might lash out at Aaron for hurting Kathleen before. He didn't want the situation to get worse as their family were already enemies with the Castell.Aaron stood beside his car that stopped right in front of the main gate of Campbell's manor. He was waiting for the gate to be opened but the guard said he was not

"It's Aaron."The answer Liam gave made her sigh heavily. She felt like she wanted to berate Kathleen for making such a major decision without discussing it with her. Aaron Castell was the only legitimate heir of Castell Corporation. Even though that young man was not yet in charge of the company right now, everyone knew he would be the one who would replace Edward Castell to take control of Castell Corporation later. In short, Aaron was not someone that anyone would want to mess with. Now her daughter had been associated closely with that man, even to the extent of having married together. If Kenneth knew about this, Victoria was sure her husband would surely accuse Kathleen of trying to betray Campbell Corporation."This is bad. Don't tell your dad about this. I don't want the other Campbell to pick on Kathleen again. Are you sure they had really divorced? Why did they divorce? Wait... during the microchip launching event... we did introduce Kathy to Aaron. Did he not know that she

Later that evening when it was time to clock out from work, Aaron received a call from Detective Leon. He didn't hope to get much news about Kathleen that soon because he just hired the investigator this morning."Mr Castell, I'd check and saw your wife's car driving around the city about three days ago in the morning. And then later that day she parked in front of a hotel, I'm guessing she stayed there for a day. The next day, her car was seen driving into the Campbell's manor. And it never gets out from there until today. I think she's probably there inside that residential," Detective Leon explained through the phone.Aaron was silent to hear that information. But a smirk slowly appeared on his face. 'So, you're not that innocent after all. In the end, you returned to your vile family again,' he muttered internally, slightly having his mind assuming the bad about Kathleen again. He felt a bit disappointed that she left him before, thinking that maybe he was wrong. But after the det
