Chapter 676

Their hands were soon covered in dirt. Once they were done, Catelyn said to the twins, "The

florist didn't give us enough fertilizer, so I’ll get some more tomorrow. I’ll buy a video recorder,

too, for your short videos."

Catelyn and the twins were all excited, and even though Cedrick did not participate, he was

proud of them.

Just then, Maribel called again.

Catelyn came in from the balcony and was about to wash her hands, she silently decided that

she might need to change her number if it was yet another prank call.

Cedrick glanced at the screen and purposefully waited a while, before telling Catelyn that it was

from Maribel.

Catelyn wiped some of the dirt off her hands and walked over to answer the call, but Cedrick

simply signaled her to stay quiet, before answering the call on speaker.

"Director Clark, good for you! Why didn't you tell me that you know Miss Kingsley? She is

canceling the cooperation with US because of your absence! Hurry up and figure something

out!" Furious, Maribel roared, but there was no response.

It was until after a while when Cedrick finally said," who is this?"

'A man's voice?!' Maribel thought. She choked on her voice and carefully asked, "I am Catelyn’s colleague, Maribel.

Are you... her husband?"

"Catelyn's mother is sick now so she has no time for work at the moment."

Naturally, Maribel did not accept his explanation; even if Catelyn's mother was indeed ill, that was no reason to

abandon work.

"Hand the phone to Catelyn. This has nothing to do with you."

Snap!

Cedrick simply ended the call without hesitation and instantly blacklisted Maribel's contact, his composure

unwavering.

Reminded of the times Cedrick had hung up on her, Catelyn realized that perhaps he was trying to give her the cold

shoulder. She went over to pinch his cheek without going back to washing her hands. "Cedrick Mason, it's rude to

hang up on people like that! What will happen if Ollie and Miles imitate you?"

Cedrick caught onto the faint scent of dirt; his expression darkened as he immediately pulled her

hands off. "Hey! Have you washed your hands?"

"No!" admitted Catelyn as she puffed her chest, her hands still wandering around on his face. "You're a naughty

boy, I tell you. I'm gonna punish you..."

Cedrick narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to rub his cheek against hers until the dirt on his face was

transferred onto hers.

She hastily tried to push him away, her hands wrinkling his shirt. He scowled and wrapped his arms around her

waist before rubbing his newly grown beard against her. "How dare you fool around with me? Try again...”

"Stop! It's tickly... Hahaha! Okay, okay, I won’t do it again! IF

Both Miles and Ollie had gotten used to the sight before them. They gave one another a look before sighing

gloomily while running off to wash their hands. Their parents had foregone all shame and would flirt in front of their

eyes every single day.

By the time Maribel tried to call again, the call would not go through. Realizing that they had blocked her number,

she paced back and forth in the office furiously.

One of the managers who was crushing on her came over and said, "Calm down, Maribel..."

"She doesn't even answer her phone now. She just told her husband to answer it before

blacklisting my number! What is she trying to do?" Unable to regain her composure, Maribel

gulped down two glasses of cold water.

"Catelyn probably knows that we need her and is trying to play hard-to-get," the manager said.

"Duh!" Maribel calmed down slightly and sneered. "She said her mom is sick, but I think she just

wants to see me begging for her help..."

"I guess you have to be the bigger person here. Why don't you try going to her apartment to

find her?"

There was no better option at the moment. Hunter had given her the ultimatum that she would

have to leave if she failed to resume the cooperation with Deluxe International. Maribel had

grown used to acting all high and mighty in the VSA Group, but if she was fired, she had no

guarantee that she could find a better job elsewhere.

She went to check the company’s internal system to find Catelyn's address, which indicated that

Catelyn lived in Ocean Path Residence.

She marked down the block and unit number and went over to Ocean Path Residence the next

morning. She knocked on the door, and to her surprise, Quinn came to open the door.

Though Quinn was about to move away, she still had a few belongings in the apartment and had

fallen asleep the night before while packing.
