Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 363

Kathleen reached the door to Samuel's office and announced her arrival with a knock on the door.

The door was flung open soon enough.

Samuel was the one who opened the door for her. “The next time you're here, don't forget you're not obliged to knock.”

Hearing that, Kathleen was stumped momentarily before responding, “No, that'd be too impolite.”

Samuel gestured for her to step

inside.

As she entered the office, her curiosity got the better of her. “Was I that ill-mannered in the past?”

“No, of course not.” Samuel's voice was as deep as a bottomless pit.

“That's good, then. I really don't wish to be despised because of my attitude.” A sigh of relief came from Kathleen's mouth.

It was heart-rending for Samuel to hear those words, though. “No matter what others say about you, you're one fine lady.”

Gentle, soft, unyielding, and brave.

Samuel's praise left Kathleen dumbstruck for a second. “Thanks for the compliment.”

Staring blankly at her, Samuel said, “Give me a minute. I'll settle something and then we can go meet that person.”

“Had I known you're still busy, I wouldn’t have come up here,” grumbled Kathleen.

“Huh? Why?” Samuel's handsome face froze as he heard that.

Would she lose a limb for waiting a little

while for me?

“You know, just now, I saw Xienna downstairs.” Kathleen seemed to be insinuating something. “She was very worried about you, and she thinks I'm harming you.”

Upon hearing that, Samuel knitted his brows. “Should I be held responsible for her actions?” An unfathomable grimace inundated his good looks.

Noticing him flying off the handle, Kathleen kept her lips buttoned and scanned her surroundings.

In an instant, her brows were all bunched up tightly. “During my last visit, I asked the doctor about my condition. She claimed that my kind of amnesia could be improved pretty easily if I were to frequently have contact with the people and places I'm accustomed to, but why am I not sensing any familiarities when I step in here?”

Samuel's hoarse voice came in response. “That's because you were seldom here.”

Nodding, Kathleen agreed to his statement, “Well, I can't debate that. This is your workplace, after all.”

A feeling of bitterness crept into Samuel's heart.

I should've allowed her to visit my office as often as she could back then. Ugh! It's all thanks to that Nicolette.

Even so, Kathleen didn't think too much, which only made Samuel feel all the more anguished.

Her current demeanor only meant one thing—there wasn't even one bit of affection left for him.

Had she still harbored feelings for him, she would've long figured out the truth behind this. Never would she appear all calm and collected right before him.

Right then, Samuel's phone chimed.

He picked up the call, only to hear Xienna sounding ever so aggrieved.

“Mr. Macari, I'm here to tell you something very important, but the security guards won't let me through.”

That caused Samuel to raise a question. “What matter could you possibly have? You can say it over the phone right now.”

“Kathleen must've said something to you, didn't she?” A wave of anger erupted like a volcano within Xienna's heart. “Don't listen to her, Mr. Macari! She's full of nothing but lies!”

Then came Samuel's frosty voice,

“Really? But she hasn't even mentioned anything. All I'm getting is that you're so eager to begin pointing fingers.”

Xienna nearly choked on her own breath, listening to that.

“From today onward, you're no longer the Macaris' family doctor.” After dropping the forbidding sentence, Samuel ended the phone abruptly.

Surprised, Kathleen stood rooted to the spot, her mouth agape.

Samuel simply hung his head low as he continued burying his head in the pile of work.

As his towering figure was bathed in the golden sunshine, it was as though he was gleaming with warmth and radiant energy. Even so, never was that sufficient to dispel his chilling vibe.

He had always been portraying an icy and aloof bearing, after all.

“You've been staring at me for three minutes now,” announced Samuel as he checked the time. “Come closer if you're that interested. I don't bite.”

Feeling speechless, Kathleen quietly took a step back before slumping into

the couch.

With his deep voice, Samuel inquired, “Now that you're back, what plans do you have in mind?”

Casting a sidelong glance at him, Kathleen blurted out, “I'm thinking about starting a business.”
