Catherine shook her head, smiling.
She received another wave of compliments again upon arriving at the office.
Harvey York, her assistant, came over with a smile." Chairwoman Jones, you're looking really good lately with all the good things happening. Everyone in Canberra knows Eldest Young Master Hill spoils you like a little baby. Oh right, this is the invitation to Holt Corporation's business dinner. This is the invitation from the young lady of Heaven Corporation to their company's fashion party..."
She was speechless looking at the thick stack of invitations.
"Shaunarah Corporation is about to launch their microchip, hence every business is trying to build good connections with Eldest Young Master Hill. Being his wife makes you another important person to maintain good ties with."
"You're right. It was so difficult to get even one such invitation in the past." She smiled sarcastically." Indeed, connections mean everything in Canberra."
"It's mainly because Eldest Young Master Hill is capable. Chairwoman Jones, you have great taste in
men."
She was at a loss for words. “Hand these invitations out to the other members of the board. They can participate on my behalf."
"Sure thing."
She received a call from an unknown number after Harvey left.
"Catherine, it's been a while. I've arrived in Canberra. D o you have time for a coffee?"
Patrick's voice sounded through the speaker. She laughed unconsciously to cover up her surprise. It was true that one should not gossip about those whom they had lost touch with or they would creep into your life soon again.
In the cafe in the office lobby.
Catherine met Patrick once again.
Evidently, the man had not been doing well lately. He looked much thinner than the last time they met. The charm on his face was replaced by rough edges, while his eyes revealed a hint of devastation and exhaustion.
