Reborn to Love and Luxury. Chapter seventy three
"A call? What call are you talking about? Carissa is too much!" Ian exclaimed, rising from his chair with a flushed and enraged expression, seeming ready to engage in a confrontation at any moment."Mr. Ian, please take a moment to drink some water and compose yourself. There's no need to let Carissa's actions upset you," Kathy, adept at gauging the atmosphere and possessing excellent communication skills, swiftly handed Ian a glass of water.Ian gazed at Kathy, who exuded understanding, kindness, and competence, momentarily puzzled as to why he had ever agreed to work with Carissa."Relax, buddy. I doubt Carissa drafted any concrete plans. She was likely just trying to praise you and boost your spirits," remarked Carlisle, an older individual well-versed in the Book of Changes, offering a perspective deeper than Ian's on the situation.Kathy and Dominic shared a glance, finding themselves developing a newfound respect for Carlisle."Really?" Ian inquired skeptically after sipping the

Ian appealed to Miss Kathy for more specificity, expressing a pressing need for positive news to mend his broken heart with a painful expression.Kathy couldn't contain her laughter at Ian's comedic appearance, and even Dominic, typically stoic, joined in her amusement. Ian, glancing at the laughing Carlisle, felt a wave of despondency wash over him.He grabbed a glass of red wine and downed it in one gulp, feeling his heart quicken and his mind grow hazy."Miss Kathy, please share while my mind is still clear," Ian stated, wanting to get to the point."When Mr. Henderson and I were going through these two contracts earlier, we noticed some issues. If you spot these loopholes, you may have a basis to sue Carissa directly. However, they probably won't opt for litigation, as it would be a waste of time and money," Kathy disclosed."So, it's likely they will seek to resolve the matter privately with you. At that point, you have the option to either continue collaborating with them or sti

Kathy acknowledged to herself that she felt drawn to him, but soon after, she regained her composure. What she truly desired was not one-sided protection and promises. To put it differently, Kathy, a fledgling manager, still felt inadequate compared to Dominic, a young CEO who had achieved public recognition and even appeared on the Forbes list. Many women sought to marry him, and he was involved in various industries beyond Henderson Corp, whereas Kathy lacked comparable skills. In essence, she saw this as an opportunity for a fresh start. Despite this, she was unwilling to let go of her feelings for Dominic. She understood his affection for her and was in touch with her own emotions."Kathy, I know you have feelings for me as well. It's okay, I can wait. Whenever you're ready, just turn around, and I'll be here for you."Standing in front of Kathy's apartment door, Dominic hesitated to let her out of his sight. Grasping her gently, he spoke. Earlier, Kathy's lack of response, neith

Ian gestured with his hand as he took a drag from his cigarette. "We have faith in your integrity! The future of our two companies now rests in your hands, so we need to have mutual trust throughout our collaboration."Carlisle nodded in agreement. "Ian, my dear friend, you speak true. Going forward, we will place all our strategic planning in Henderson's hands. Let's work together to ensure the success of our partnership!"Although not a monumental deal, this agreement involved a rivalry between Xavier and Carissa. Kathy felt especially delighted to secure the deal and wore a confident smile as she raised her glass. "I will not disappoint the trust placed in me by our two leaders," she declared before downing her drink in one swift motion.Dominic's heart raced as he observed Kathy's self-assured expression. Meanwhile, in Carissa's office, Xavier vented his frustration by smashing objects in sight. "Kathy! That woman has sabotaged the deal we had within reach!"Smashing objects p

Dominic paused, his eyes clouded and uncertain, before eventually nodding in agreement. "It's my first time, and I never imagined raw meat could be so off-putting."Kathy placed the meat in her hand into the shopping cart and smiled. "But don't you love beef sauce? If I don't get these unappetizing items, how will I make it for you?" It turned out she wanted to cook for herself.A warm feeling washed over Dominic, causing his lips to twitch uncontrollably. Finally, when Kathy turned to look at the vegetables, he gazed at her back and smiled."Do you want to have stir-fried vegetables instead? I remember we had a lot of fresh veggies at home. We can make a delicious stir-fry for dinner tonight.”At that moment, she was dressed in white.As the weather had grown colder, she favored wearing a fluffy white sweater, giving her a petite and cute appearance. Holding a carrot in her hand, she resembled a small rabbit, prompting Dominic to feel the urge to playfully pinch her cheeks.Her dai

Honestly, Maricela was touched.During Kathy's rapid rise, she had undeniably accomplished a lot, turning the planning department into a key element of the company's success.If this trend continued, Kathy would quickly reach the position of deputy manager in the Strategy department. Maricela was hesitant to see Kathy, a newcomer to the company, promoted so swiftly! Why should she be promoted so fast?"What do you say?" Carissa's voice broke the silence, feeling she had convinced Maricela."Miss Carissa, may I ask why I should target the most promising talent in our company? If I partner with someone like you, I'm afraid that one day I'll be betrayed and still have to help you count the profits!"Maricela quickly realized that the person standing in front of her was Carissa – someone she found even more distasteful than Kathy. Despite feeling a sense of satisfaction over the incident where she had colluded with the media to tarnish Kathy's reputation, Maricela was not oblivious to the

Dominic was taken aback by Kathy's immediate response, not expecting her first reaction to be an offer of assistance."Why are you staring at me like that?" Kathy peered into Dominic's eyes with curiosity and asked, "Is there something wrong with my appearance?"Dominic shook his head. "No, I just feel incredibly fortunate to have you by my side."Kathy chuckled softly and tenderly ran her fingers over the documents. "I should be the lucky one. To earn your trust, be a part of your team, grow with you, and explore new horizons—it feels like starting a business all over again with Xavier."The time spent starting a business with Xavier held special meaning for them.Looking back on that time and recalling Xavier's occasional moments of tenderness in her past life, Kathy found comfort in those memories. However, as she moved on and began anew, reminiscing about that period only brought about profound sadness.It became apparent that Xavier had orchestrated everything as a scheme to le

"Hey, what's up with your attitude?" Abigail was about to argue with Maricela, but then she thought of Kathy and decided it wasn't worth arguing with someone like Maricela. Abigail turned away and left the logistics office. After the door closed, Dwight exclaimed; "What's her deal? Acting like she's in charge just because she has a little power? Acting all important just because of Kathy. If you didn't know any better, you'd think Kathy was the boss of Hcorp."Maricela's expression darkened even further upon hearing this. Kathy was the CEO's girlfriend, and she couldn't tell if Dwight was pretending to be oblivious or if he was truly that clueless. After giving Dwight a glare, Maricela looked at the documents in her hand, sneered a few times, and then left.By the end of the month, all departments had submitted their reimbursement forms except for the Distribution department.***"Kathy?""Please, come in."Ramon from the finance department pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it

"Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th

"Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel

Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg

Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w

Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary

"Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked. Esme sighed and said to Kathy, "My dear, you must not be with him just for his money! The most important thing in a relationship is to live a good life together!" "Dominic, you've seen our family's situation. We are just ordinary working-class people, but

"Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance. He quickly bumped Dominic's arm with his shoulder and they ran towards the bus station with their bags.Dominic, who had never experienced this before, didn't know what to do.Seeing Dominic still in a daze, Kathy switched all her bags to her right hand, grabbed Dominic's arm, and ran forward. "What are you thinking? Did Dalein give you a brainwashing attack!"Even if Dominic didn't know why The Thompson family was desperately running forward, he understood that all he could do now was to hurry up.After rushing, with the help of a kind driver, the Thompson family finally squeezed onto the bus.Dominic looked at the empty seats on the bus, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed hard, and regained his senses.It seemed that he had just done something he had never done before. It felt quite novel.Kathy pulled Dominic to sit in the double seat at the

The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
