Chapter 174
Catherine's POV
After breakfast, I left hand went to work.
I was so caught up at work. It was unbelievable how many things one had to do to be in charge of a product launch.
Although Melinda helpedplan and gavea lot of guidance regarding skills, I still felt tied up.
My phone on the desk suddenly rang.
I didn't have tto check who it was. I put the phone to my ear and asked in a businesslike manner, "Who is it?"
"It's me." I heard a low male voice. Then he said, "It's time. I'm taking you to lunch."
I glanced at the time. Before I knew it, it was noon already. Yet I felt that I had just started.
"You don't have to pickup. Tellthe address, and I'll go there myself." I didn't want to trouble him.
"I'm already downstairs." He didn't givea chance to refuse.
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped at the restaurant. Blake held my hand and walked upstairs.
I was gradually getting used to the feeling of walking with my hand in his, so I didn't repulsed. I just felt that his palm was burning so hot.
Blake and I cto the second floor of the restaurant, and as soon as I entered the box, I saw a man about thirty or forty years old.
The man looked very excited and honored to see Blake. He quickly stood up to greet Blake.
"King Blake!" he said with great passion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake nodded and said calmly, "Have a seat."
When I saw that it was a man, I was stunned.
I grabbed Blake's hand and whispered, "Can we go out? I want to talk to you."
I pulled him to the corridor and stood in the corridor. I whispered, "A man?"
"What is it? Can't a pack doctor be a man?" asked Blake in confusion.
"What do you think?" I blushed. "You know what my nightmare is. I can't tell a man about it!"
Blake then understood something.
"Alright then, I'll find you a female doctor." Blake reached out and brushed my slightly messy hair. "It's my fault. I was inconsiderate."
"Then let's just eat. Don't mention anything about my illness. OK?" I pleaded.
"Wait forhere for a while." After saying this, Blake pushed the door open and entered.
Soon, he pushed the door open again and said to me, "Let's go to another restaurant!"
I quickly said, "Wouldn't it be rude for us to leave him alone like this?"
"It's fine. I'll let Henry eat with him," replied Blake.
I pondered. I figured that since he was the Lycan King, it was his right to act so casually like this. Therefore, I left with him.
Blake tookto another restaurant . It was a couple-themed one.
I sat nervously in my seat and looked around.
Blake was sitting opposite me. He looked atand couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong?"
"It's my first date." I had swater.
Blake chuckled. as well. But I'm not nervous at all."
Hearing him say this, I immediately becless nervous.
"That's because you are cheeky!" I twitched my mouth and replied.
Blake suddenly asked seriously, "Cathy, can you tellwhy you decided to give birth to the kids?"
I could answer this question very calmly now. I said, "Because the doctor said the children were doing very well and encouragedto do so."
"I'm so grateful that you gavea chance to have them!" Blake looked atwith sincerity, and his words were full of gratitude.
I said self-mockingly, "I struggled when I made the decision."
"But you were strong enough to raise them, weren't you? I understand how difficult it must be to be a single rogue raising two children. I feel so bad about all the misunderstandings I had about you." There was a hint of admiration and apology in Blake's voice.
I stared at his face and gnashed my teeth. "To be honest, what you said tobefore really makes me want to hate you forever. I have never met a more hateful, unreasonable man in my life."
Blake was a little embarrassed. "That's why I feel sorry for you and the children."
"You will blush? That's new to me!" Seeing that Blake's face was a little red, I deliberately mocked him.
After lunch, Blake sentback to the company, and I waved at him, watching his car leave.
Back in the office, I started to work busy again.
I received a call from the front desk in the afternoon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ms. Wyatt, Gina is at the front desk. She wants to see you," the receptionist said to me.
Our company was organizing the early winter launch, and a lot of stars were invited. I believe Gina's company had also learned the news.
But Gina wasn't invited this time.
Her absence would affect her popularity greatly.
So, Gina must be up to something.
"She doesn't have an appointment. Just ignore her," I said coldly.
Just as I was about to hang up, I heard Gina's voice coming from the other end of the line.
Gina said to me,
"I'm here, because I have something very important to tell you."
"What is it? You can tellnow. We don't have to see each other face-to-face," I said coldly.
"Catherine, you won't even seenow? Do you really think I will cto you for no reason? I have sinformation about your necklace. Letgo upstairs and talk, if you're still interested."
Gina refused to tellmore.
"Give the phone to the receptionist."
I spoke in a softer tone, "Let her cup, please."
After a while, under the guidance of my assistant, Gina cto my office. As soon as she cin, she clicked her tongue and said, "You've got an office of your own. Sure enough, you're a woman being doted on thoroughly."
I sat at my desk and ignored her sarcasm. I said coldly, "Is what you said true? What kind of information do you have that can prove the source of my necklace?"
After Gina finished sizing up my office, she stared atviciously.
I saw blunt jealousy in Gina's eyes. I calmly put down my pen and leaned back in my chair. "If you're here to provoke me, just go away. I know you still have feelings for Blake."
It looked like someone threw cold water in Gina's face. She becmuch more clear-headed at once.
