sudden, and you didn’t text me back.”

Gerald was a little embarrassed. He did stand Catherine up. He coughed and said, “I’ll take dinner

tonight. How does that sound?”

you to

“No need for that. Let me,” Catherine smiled and said. “After all, you did me a great favor earlier.”

Gerald did not turn her down. He asked, “When should we leave for the Maddox’s place?”

“Now,” Catherine said as she picked up the files.

Gerald nodded, and they walked downstairs. Catherine took out her car keys and pressed a button in

a certain direction.

“Good for you. You got a car?” Gerald asked in surprise.

Catherine shook her head and said, “It’s not mine. Mr. Thomas asked me to be in charge of the early

communication with the Maddox family, and he said that I represented the company’s image. So,

he allowed me to use it for now.”

Gerald nodded. “I see. Give me the car keys and send me the address. I’ll drive.”

Catherine nodded.

He drove slowly toward the destination.

The specific project of cooperation between the two sides was the framework of an online platform. The

Maddox family had done very well in e–commerce, and the specific matters were mainly handled by

Ingrid. Catherine and Gerald walked into a luxurious studio.

Several beefy men were standing at the door of the studio, who had become quite familiar with Catherine

already. After seeing Catherine, they nodded. Then they looked at Gerald and asked, “Who is he?”

“He is the person in charge of this project in our company,” Catherine quickly said. “I was just helping him

do some early communication work.”

The people at the door nodded and then let them pass.

Chapter 191 Meet Ingrid Assis

Gerald and Catherine walked into the studio, which was filled with employees facing their laptops. At the

same time, Gerald looked through the glass and saw Ingrid sitting in an office talking on the phone,

smiling.

“You?”

Suddenly, Gerald heard a voice. He looked over and found Eddie sitting while frowning at him.

Obviously, the Maddox family sent Eddie here to protect Ingrid.

Gerald nodded at Eddie as a greeting.

Eddie got up and walked to Gerald. He said lightly, “I see you didn’t take my warning seriously. You still

go all out to approach Ingrid.”

Gerald stroked his nose, looked at Eddie, and said, “You’re thinking too much. I’m just here to do

business with you on behalf of my company.”

“Do business?” Eddie sneered. Then he said, “Why you?”

Then he waved his hand and said, “You can go now. I don’t want Ingrid to have anything to do with

people like you. The project is off the table now.”

“Do you have the right to call the shots?” Gerald’s expression changed slightly.

“As a matter of fact, I do,” Eddie said indifferently.

“Gerald.”

At the same time, Ingrid saw Gerald through the glass. She ran to the door of her office and shouted

excitedly.

Then she hung up the phone, came over, and said, “I was just on the phone with Daphne, and your

name came up. And now you’re here!”

After that, she looked at Catherine with suspicion on her face.

“Gerald is our company’s representative,” Catherine hurriedly said. “Gerald, you seem to know Ms.

Maddox. I think there’s no need for me to introduce you.”

“Come here. Let’s talk in my office,” Ingrid hurriedly said.

Gerald touched his nose and then looked at Eddie next to him, smiling.

Seeing Gerald’s slightly provocative smile, Eddie pulled a long face. Yet he couldn’t say anything, since

Ingrid was present. He walked to the sofa not far away and sat down.

After Gerald and Ingrid walked a few steps, Ingrid thought of something and said to the side, “Ms.

Martha, come here. You may discuss the specific details of the cooperation with her.”

Hearing that, Bridget Martha, a beautiful woman, stood up and made a gesture of invitation to

Catherine.

Catherine looked at Ingrid and then at Gerald. Then she left with Bridget.

After entering the office, Gerald said in surprise, “Good for you. You’re a boss now, though you’re still a

college student.”

Ingrid smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll transfer to a university in Washington next semester. It’s almost

summer vacation now, and I don’t have much to do. Plus, I major in design, and I like fashion design. I

was wondering if I could create a fashion brand. My family agreed, thinking that at least I could have

something to do in this way instead of being idle all day. So, I set up this studio.”

Gerald was speechless.

He thought, your family set up a brand for you, just because you like it? And I saw so many people outside. I think they are all designers who work for you. Damn! That’s just unbelievable!

After Ingrid finished speaking, her eyes lit up slightly. Looking at Gerald, she asked tentatively, “Why are

you here? Tell me the truth. Did Night Watch send you here to protect me?”

Gerald nodded. He didn’t lie to her.

Ingrid’s eyes lit up even more brightly.

“My family told me Night Watch would send someone to protect me, who was from one of the companies

that we’ve worked with recently. But Night Watch didn’t tell us the person’s name, so even my family

didn’t know who the person would be. And it turned out to be you!” Ingrid was

extremely excited.

Gerald was speechless again. He could tell that Ingrid admired Night Watch a lot.

Eddie was outside the door. As he watched how thrilled Ingrid was when she was beside Gerald, he

frowned deeper.
