Kathleen felt awkward.
She nodded in response sheepishly. “Got it.”
Samuel's dark eyes finally regained rationality.
In a low voice, he said, “If I want to enter into a relationship, I will tell you. Hence, you should do the same too.”
Kathleen nodded faintly.
“Call a taxi, as I will not send you home. However, do send me a message when you arrive at your house. If not, I will feel worried.” Samuel gradually released his big, slender hand.
Kathleen rubbed her chin and replied, “Mm.”
Samuel stared at Kathleen's delicate features as he said furiously, “Please don't ever bring up the topic about me searching for a partner. If you piss me off, I might do anything.”
“Okay.” Kathleen was dumbfounded.
I'm merely trying to advise him nicely. Is it necessary for him to react so terrifyingly?
Kathleen took her coat and bag. “I'll go get the bill.”
Coldly, Samuel said, “I've never let a woman pay the bill before.”
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
Samuel glanced at her.
“I only wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude because you've spent the whole morning accompanying me,” explained Kathleen.
The charming man stared at her calmly. “Ms. Johnson, I've lost tens of millions because of you this morning. Do you think you can compensate me with just one meal?”
“That much?” Kathleen exclaimed in surprise.
“Do you expect the Macari Group to be similar to the Morris Group?” questioned
Samuel sarcastically.
Kathleen was speechless. “No matter what, the Morris family is still your Aunt Emily's in-laws.”
“If my aunt and Aaron filed a divorce, I'll take care of her until the day she dies.” Samuel sounded frivolous.
At his words, Kathleen didn't know how to react.
Soon, Kathleen hailed a taxi and returned to the Johnson residence.
Just when she entered her room, Charles called.
“Are you home?” Charles asked casually.
“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded. “Charles, what's the matter?”
“Oh, I called to tell you I've already released a notice to announce the calling off of the engagement between you and Christopher. You ought to know we can't possibly inform the public it was a fake engagement. After all, I must consider both your reputations,” explained Charles.
“Yes, I understand.” Kathleen continued in an icy tone, “Didn't we agree to announce the cancellation of the engagement and not say a word about the engagement being fake?”
“Anyway, the announcement will not jeopardize both your reputations this way.” Charles hesitated for a while. “Christopher told me that he had never touched Astrid before.”
“Charles, there is no need to explain to me whether he has or has not touched Astrid.” Kathleen continued coldly, “If he did, he should talk to Astrid about the matter. If he did not, Astrid should give him an explanation. As the situation has nothing to do with us, I suggest you don't interfere with it.”
“Right, I got you.” Charles understood that Kathleen really wanted to draw a line with Christopher.
As Felix's attitude was terrible toward Kathleen, it was apparent that Charles could not bear to see his sister married into a family like that and live the rest of her life miserably.
“Get some rest. You need to go for a photo shoot for a promotional poster tomorrow,” said Charles.
“All right.” Kathleen nodded. “I'll hang up now.
With that said, she ended the call.
Meanwhile, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Kathleen did not ignore me. I will never play matchmaker for Christopher and her ever again. If not, I might lose my dear sister.
Kathleen took off her high heels and lay on the bed.
Although she wasn't tired, she wanted to have a good rest.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a number she didn't recognize.
