Chapter 669
However, now that Stella was still in the hospital, she could not spare much of her attention on the collaboration
with Deluxe International either.
Therefore, she was not in a rush to get to the company.
She first sent a message to Cedrick and got to know that Stella was not awake yet, but she had some signs of
waking up already, she immediately prepared some porridge with Sandy's assistance and sent it to the hospital.
Catelyn was touched to see that Cedrick was always staying in front of Stella's bed.
"Go back and have some rest. I will take over the watch. Look at you. Your eyes are bloodshot now..." Catelyn
touched Cedrick's eye area carefully.
Cedrick stretched his body, and he did not feel very tired.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was common for him to stay up late when working overtime at the office.
Plus, there was another bed to spare in the room, except that it was not as comfortable as home.
"Have you had your meal?" He looked at Catelyn.
Catelyn shook her head. "Not yet. I wanted to check on you first and then have dinner with you."
However, she felt bad to see him in bad shape after being on the watch for one night and asked him to go home for
a rest.
Cedrick took the thermos flask from her and then laid it down on the table. He pulled Catelyn into his arms.
Perhaps it was because of his lack of sleep. His voice was extra hoarse and sounded seductive. "I will leave after
eating."
Catelyn was arranging the cutlery and felt an intense gaze falling upon her body.
She looked up, and Cedrick was looking down at the same time. Their lips touched.
Just as Cedrick was about to take another move, Catelyn pressed on her own hands and looked at him, implying for
him to behave himself.
Stella was still unconscious in bed, but he... he was out of the line!
Cedrick realized it was not the right place and the right time either. Therefore, merely bit on her lips and then
exited. "Don't use mint toothpaste next time. I can't stand this taste."
Catelyn wanted to say something but paused, she stood up from his lap and moved to the furthest corner of the
table from him.
Cedrick's lips curved into a smile that was very light but full of affection.
"Weren't you going to execute the agreements with Deluxe International this afternoon?"
Catelyn said, "No, the project was snatched away by the Associate Director."
Cedrick frowned. "Isn't this project related to your promise to Mister Wilson?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knew that she wanted to transform VSA Group's image and reopen the market in Sapphire City. However, Mister
Wilson was very conservative, and the two of them placed their bets on this project.
Now that the project was snatched away by Maribel, once executed, who would deserve the credits?
Catelyn was flustered. "Perhaps it was because I was sleeping this morning and did not pick up the calls. He was
worried that I would not make it to execute the agreement and decided to give the project away to the Associate
Director."
"Do you need me to help you to get it back?" Cedrick asked.
Catelyn shook her head. "No! After all, my purpose was not the project either. I just wanted to fulfill my promise to
William."
Cedrick did not say anything more, seeing how persistent she was. He had plenty on his plate himself too. He
rubbed her hair, said something light, then left the ward.
Soon, Stella woke up after Cedrick left.
