Cedrick looked at her stubborn face and felt touched. He enjoyed the feeling of being treasured by her. "Fine, it is my fault this time, I should not joke about this, but I really wanted to see you acting shy. Every time you look shy, I feel immensely satisfied."Catelyn was even more annoyed. She twisted the towel forcefully. "Your pleasure is built upon mocking me?"Cedrick looked at her earnestly and said, "Of course not, I am not so low. Plus, I have never teased other women before."Catelyn slammed the towel in his face. "Really? Should I feel proud about it? You bathe yourself then!"Cedrick pulled the towel down from his face and saw Catelyn opening the door on her way out.The door was slammed shut. Cedrick was speechless.Perhaps he spoiled her so much that her temper got shorter now. However, he liked her. Soon, Charles knocked on the bathroom door. He dared not enter right away but waited outside the door."Cedrick, are you alright? Miss Clark asked me to chec
Cedrick rolled his eyes and said, "I heard Granny Atherton found out about your newly purchased mansion?"Edwin was furious about this. Granny Atherton had been forcefully match-making him. He wanted to hide away and therefore purchased a very expensive but private mansion.However, he only moved in for three days before Granny Atherton showed up on his doorstep."If I know which son of a b*tch revealed my secret, I will skin him alive!""Cough…" Charles could not resist and coughed. It seemed that it was Cedrick who allowed him to leak this information.Edwin saw Charles' expression and grinned. "Don't tell me it was the two of you?"Cedrick was not guilty at all. He sipped on his tea casually again. "I bought two mansions in the Dragon Port's new town area, and the keys are with Benjamin. You could go and get it from him."Edwin's eyes lit up. "Dragon Port? There are mountains and waters surrounding the area. It is a rare find! Are you really willing to?""You could pretend
William was stunned. "You? But what we want is to collaborate with Cedrick…""Even though I could not help you collaborate with the Mason Group, VSA Group is already failing to penetrate the western market. I don't think you would mind giving it a try?"William paused and deliberated, and he did not immediately decline Catelyn either. Even though she said they could not collaborate with Cedrick, she had Cedrick behind her anyways. "Let me go back and discuss with my boss.""Sure, but please give me a reply because I will be returning very soon." Catelyn did not hide that from William either.William did not find it strange at all. Her relationship with Cedrick kind of explained that he would not simply let her linger in another country to be a small employee."I will contact you before noon tomorrow."She watched as William left and then looked at the lunch on her plate again, suddenly finding herself having a better appetite. She was just worried about having to find a new
Eason had informed Cedrick early on about William's meet-up with Catelyn.He looked at her sternly and said, "There are plenty of positions in Mason Group at your disposal. Why would you need to work for someone else?""I don't want it. I don't want people to gossip behind my back again. I have my own ambition and career to pursue." Catelyn smiled, and her tiny face was glowing with hope.Cedrick choked on what she said. He ended the conversation."The private jet is ready. We will depart tomorrow morning at eleven. Have you started packing?"Catelyn said, "I am not leaving with you. You can return before me."Cedrick frowned unhappily. "I don't think there's anything important for you to stay here."Could it be because of George?No, George had already resigned. Perhaps she was starting her own business…If she chose to start a business, she would probably choose to do it in a region and field that she was familiar with. Plus, there were some subsidies in recent years off
Catelyn was confused. "What did I not tell you about?"Jolene rolled her eyes and then took out a document and slammed it onto the table."Mister William said the company had transferred you to Sapphire City to be the Design Director in the subsidiary company and assigned me to be your assistant! Are we even friends? This is such big news, but I am the last one to know about it…"Catelyn scanned through the document on the table. It was an order for Jolene to transfer. "I did not hide it from you. I just did not manage to… Wait, William let you follow me back to Sapphire City? Let me help you to reply him.""Don't!" Jolene immediately stopped Catelyn. She lifted her chin and said, "It's such a good opportunity to go back to our homeland. Of course, I would go back.""Wasn't your ambition to work hard in Franche?""Please, the discrimination is terrible here. Plus, I really miss home. Even though I was stubborn and was only eyeing the wages here." Jolene grinned at Catelyn, and
He had reserved a table and ordered the food beforehand. There were various foods on the menu, and Catelyn picked some simple food like an omelet and porridge. "Aren't you having any?"Catelyn saw that Cedrick was simply watching as she ate.Cedrick took a sip of his tea and said, "I quite miss the days in the hospital."Catelyn was bewildered and lifted her gaze from the porridge. "Why?"Cedrick's gaze shifted from her face to her rosy lips, his lips curving into an incomprehensible smile.His smile was one full of playfulness.Catelyn suddenly recalled the scenes of her feeding him with water and food affectionately and could not help but blush. "Shameless!" she said and took one big furious bite on the omelet. Cedrick lifted his eyebrows, and his expression was indifferent as usual. "Since you have already accused me of it, it seems a little wrong if I don't do something to live up to it?"Catelyn's instincts told her that danger was coming. However, before she could
Maia would be merely charged as an accomplice at the most. Catelyn was cleaning the house when she heard the news. She had not been home for long. Stella did not usually cook, and there were a few corners in the kitchen that needed a thorough cleaning. Catelyn had just taken out the trash from the kitchen when she heard the news reporting on TV about Maia and Richard.The news reported that the police escorted Maia and Richard to the police station. They had just disembarked from the long flight, and both appeared to be exhausted.It was especially apparent in Maia, with tears rolling down her eyes and almost falling over. She pretended to be emotionally strong but vulnerable, making people wonder if she really was wrongly accused. Richard looked very decadent. His chin was covered in stubbles, the light in his eyes vanished, while he was tagging along behind the police soulessly. The journalists all surrounded them when they got the information.This was some spicy go
With an apron around her waist, Catelyn held a broom with one hand as she watched the television.It was a news channel developed by Worldwide Entertainment Co., which meant Edwin was trying to destroy the two of them. Catelyn had not expected Maia to talk Richard into admitting to the crimes for her sake.'Is that Richard guy an idiot?' thought Catelyn. 'Committing such a horrible crime under the pressure of the Mason family would mean that he'll at least need to be in jail for decades!'...At night, in Mason Chateau.Grandpa Mason and the twins sat in the dining room for dinner while Uncle Ford stood by their side to serve. Cedrick was nowhere to be seen.Both Ollie and Miles were upset that they were forcefully taken back to Sapphire City against their will. They had spent a long time throwing tantrums, hoping to escape, but Mason Chateau was located on the outskirts and was divided into different wings that were guarded by countless bodyguards. Even a fly would not be able t
