Chapter 1040
Catelyn gave a small nod at this.
She felt touched by Cedrick's gesture, knowing he wanted to free up two months' time because of their wedding. They
would then spend their honeymoon traveling around the world as they waited for the baby's result.
Even when they fought and quarreled many times because of the baby, they never once thought of canceling the
wedding. This was his compensation to her and also the promise she made to him.
Suddenly, Mason Group's administrative secretary came over with a few stacks of documents and, having mustered the
courage to, passed them to Catelyn. Missus Mason, I have some documents here to pass to Master Cedrick. Do you think
you can bring them in for me?"
Catelyn nodded, not at all bothered by the request. "Sure. Give them to me.'

"Mine too, please!" Another secretary took the chance and quickly requested Catelyn's help.
Subsequently, many secretaries followed suit and requested Catelyn to help them. In the blink of an eye, Catelyn's
hands were filled with many documents.
'Do they need to act so exaggerating^?' she thought.
Coincidentally, Mister Peterson-who looked oddly miserable-arrived and walked out of the elevator, also carrying a
tall stack of documents.
That expression of his, however, vanished when he saw Catelyn. His eyes brightened up as he pulled his face and
warned the other secretaries, "You should be responsible for your work! Why should the company hire all of you if
you need to trouble Missus Mason to help you with bringing the document in?”
The other secretaries dispersed themselves swiftly. Even the air felt fresher.
Just as Catelyn was going to ask Mister Peterson to take some load off her, Mister Peterson quickly begged, "Missus
Mason, please bring these documents to Master Mason, too. Thank you!"
Catelyn was at a complete loss for words.
Knock, knock, knock!
After Catelyn knocked on Cedrick's office door, an alluring yet enigmatic male voice rang out, "Come in."
She took a deep breath. 'So commanding...' she thought.
As she pushed the door open to go in, she was welcomed with a fierce aura.
Cedrick was sitting in front of his table as he was holding the phone in one hand. She had no idea who he was
talking to on the phone; all she knew was that he sounded harsh and mean when he spoke.
"If we don't receive the balance by the end of the year, go ahead with the legal procedure as written in the
contract. Let's see how long he can last."

paying his debt. Let him choose."
The low voice sounded haughty and domineering. He sounded authoritative and derisive.
Cately's heart skipped a beat. 'That's very intimidating. No wonder Charles didn't dare to come in!'
"Why are you standing there? Put down the documents and leave!" After he hung up the phone, he continued to work
without even lifting his head. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Catelyn walked over soundlessly and placed the documents on Cedrick's table. There were already mountains of
documents on his table, so much so that the ones Catelyn placed down did not make any big difference to the number of
documents.
After he finished reading a document, he signed on the last page and realized the woman who delivered the document
was still in his office.
He furrowed his brow. "I told you to get out. Are you deaf-?"
He did not finish his last sentence when he saw Catelyn's pure face.
"W... What are you doing here?"
