Chapter 348
Catelyn hesitated from entering the office, but Cedrick had spotted her and thus called out to her, “What
are you doing out there?”
Catelyn stepped inside with resignation and handed the documents to Cedrick for his signature Cedrick
tossed them aside and asked, “You haven’t had your lunch?”
“Well…” Catelyn nodded, before shaking her head again. “I did, but I didn’t eat much, so I finished rather
quickly.
“L..want to ask if you were the one who gave the order to send George to Europae.” Cedrick poured
himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. “Why haven’t you eaten much?” Catelyn scowled. “I’m talking
about George right now.”
“So am I.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedrick set his cup down and stared at her intently. Her reflection filled his eyes as he stood, and the
office instantly appeared less spacious with his towering figure. “You used to have George around, and
with him now gone, you’ve lost your appetite for food and simply couldn’t wait to come and plead for
him?”
He studied her expression without letting the slightest change escape his eyes.
Catelyn bit her lower lip as she finally understood his logic behind the matter.
“I’m just concerned because his family and friends are here in Sapphire City. Have you even asked about
his opinion on sending him away? He would’ve been of more use to you here…” “You know about his
family and friends?” He questioned sharply.
This was not the point, Catelyn wanted to tell him.
Feeling slightly defeated, she continued, “Did you transfer him because of me? That day at the
restaurant, he did say something, but we’re just friends-“.
“This is a workplace, and I’m not interested in the details of your romantic dramas.” Cedrick’s expression
hardened into an unforgiving mask, and the tenderness of when he first spotted Catelyn faded.
The sunlight shone into the room, and his face seemed to have twisted in a more ruthless manner.
Refusing to give up, Catelyn said, “There has never been any kind of romantic drama between me and
him. You fired Jennifer for bringing personal emotions into work; isn’t that the same thing?”
The last drop of kindness disappeared into the depths of his eyes, leaving nothing but rage behind. “Are
you confronting me for his sake?”
“Both George and Jennifer had brought their personal emotions into the workplace and argued in front of
everyone. Consider it a mercy that I didn’t fire him. If you say anything else,
I can’t promise that I won’t kick him out of this company!” With eyes filled with frustration, his tone turned
as cold as ice.
‘Who does George think he is? How dare he hold Catelyn’s hand in front of everyone? I’ve only sent him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaway instead of firing him, and now, she’s lost her appetite and came all the way here to plead for the
guy? I asked her to come up and make me coffee before, yet she kept saying that she doesn’t want
others to see her. What happened to not wanting others to see her now?’
Catelyn swallowed the words she was about to say to defend George, knowing that anything she said
would only add fuel to the flame.
She wanted to return the cross to him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he barked coldly, “Get
out!”
“I just want to -”
“Do I need to get the security to throw you out?” Cedrick interrupted her. She thus left the top floor.
The cross she held slowly turned warm from her own temperature. Her head throbbed in pain at the
thought of failing to give it back to him.
