That afternoon, Catherine was having lunch in the canteen when Shaun called. The man's tone reeked of arrogance. "Beg me. I'll sort out the matter with the construction companies for you if you agree to divorce __ _ H me.
"Don't worry. I'll sort it out myself."
She flatly rejected him.
A cold smile spread across his face. "You'll sort it out b y calling the presidents of those companies and using dishonorable means?"
The woman laughed. "You’re really going all out just to divorce me. You must've been busy changing their minds."
"You brought this upon yourself." His tone was unfriendly. "I wouldn't have gone this far if you hadn’t been so rude to Sarah and kept entertaining those fond dreams of yours. I suggest you sign the papers soon for peace of mind or I won't mind taking my time to keep playing this game with you."
"It seems like your pretentious girlfriend has been busy complaining," she replied nonchalantly. "You can keep playing all you want."
Her nonchalant tone made him so furious that he almost threw his phone across the room.
Sure, she could be stubborn and smug all she wanted now. He could not wait to see the remorse on her face i n three days.
4:30 p.m.
Catherine noticed Manager Howard from the Marketing Department currying favors with Sarah when she stepped out of the elevator.
Sarah quickly said when she approached, "Catherine, don't misunderstand. Manager Howard and I are only discussing work."
Manager Howard raised her eyebrows. "Miss Neeson, you don't have to explain yourself. Besides, today might be Chairwoman Jones' last day at this corporation.” 1
Catherine threw an indifferent glance at the manager.
Her confidence and domineering presence filled the room. The manager felt anxious for a quick second before appearing nonchalant. Anyone could fake it until they made it.
"Catherine, they're just chatting with me. You shouldn't make things difficult for them just because you hold a grudge against me." Sarah positioned herself in front of the manager. She was implying that Catherine would be correcting private wrongs at work if she fired Manager Howard.
"What are you still doing here?" Catherine replied flatly, "You can't live a day without coming to put on a show in front of me, huh?"
