Chapter 144
Catherine’s POV
After eating two pieces of bread, I stood up with my purse. “I’ll go to work now. Enjoy!”
“Let’s go together. I’ll send you to the office.” Blake suddenly stood up.
Then I remembered that my car had been sent to be repaired, so I couldn’t drive to work.
“Thanks, then!” I didn’t refuse him. Instead, I followed him out of the door,
I sat in Blake’s car and arrived at the company.
As soon as I got out of the car, I heard the sound of some reporters secretly taking photos next to me. Iturned around vigilantly, while they jumped into their car instantly and left.
I was speechless. I guessed it wasn’t easy to be a reporter nowadays. They went here to wait for usearly in the morning, and they even acted like thieves when taking photos of us.
What was their purpose?
I knew my life would never be peaceful again now that I was involved with Blake.
As soon as I stepped into the elevator, everyone was staring at me.
They were all employees from other departments, and I didn’t know them well. Only one of them workedin the same office as me. She immediately squeezed over and held my arm as if she was close to me.“Cathy, you look so elegant today!”
I smiled and replied, “Thank you.”
Everyone on the side could hear that the woman was flattering me, and all of them revealed
expressions of disdain.
Fortunately, the elevator doors opened very quickly. I hurriedly walked out, and the woman behind mefollowed in a hurry. “Cathy, we have been colleagues for many days. You probably still don’t know myname!”
“I remember you. You are Emma. I needed your help with a file before, and you threw it on me. I wasimpressed.”
Emma stopped at once.
The corners of my mouth curled up into a slightly evil smile. I loathed snobs.
After I entered the office, the first thing I did was knock on Melinda’s door.
When Melinda saw me come in, she smiled. “Cathy, you’re here! What about that thing you said to mevesterday?”
“Melinda, Blake has agreed to make you the head of the Design Department. I guess congratulations arein order!”
The reason why I was so confident that Melinda had a chance was that on the way here just now, Blakehad already promised me that the letter for her appointment would be issued today, and Guy would befired
Vanessa had a meeting with Guy in the royal pack’s prison, and she told the truth. She admitted that itwas all her doing to set me up, that Guy had nothing to do with it. She felt bitter about being played byhim, and he didn’t care about her at all.
I went out with Melinda. When we reached the elevator, we bumped into Guy, who had packed up histhings and was about to leave.
Guy’s eyes were filled with resentment as he stared at me. He then mocked Melinda, “Well, well. I guessconnections do matter when it comes to getting a promotion. Melinda, I never treated you unfairly. Yetyou are so sinister! Now that you are promoted, congratulations! I hope you won’t get stabbed in theback.”
Melinda was slightly stunned. I saw Melinda’s panicked expression and immediately said coldly, “Guy,you were dismissed not because of any mistakes in your work, but because of your personal affair.”
“If the reason why I was kicked out was that I had an affair with Vanessa, what about King Blake andyou? You two are also subordinates when you’re in the company. Shouldn’t you be kicked out as well?”Guy mocked.
I was stunned. I never thought about this.
Melinda immediately chimed in, “How dare you speak ill of King Blake? Maybe you’ve forgotten who youare and want to be expelled from the pack. And if memory serves me correctly, Guy, you already have amate. You will be punished by the Moon Goddess.”
Guy choked on Melinda’s words. He lowered his head and quickly walked forward.
Melinda patted me on the shoulder and said, “Don’t take his words seriously. This is King Blake’scompany. I’m surprised that Guy dares to be rude to you.”
At noon, I received a call, asking me to go over and pick up my obsidian necklace.
The craftsman was skilled. My necklace had been completely repaired. Though it wasn’t flawless, I stillfelt better simply by looking at it.
It was a shame that I still hadn’t gotten any useful clues about the necklace.
In the afternoon, a group of photos suddenly popped up online.
The title was eye-catching.
Blake, the CEO of the Chavez Group, personally sent his girlfriend to work. The love the couple sharedwas deep and enviable.
And a photo of me walking down from Blake’s car was attached below.
There was also a photo of me and Blake looking at each other inside the car.
When I saw the photos, I pulled a wry face.
No wonder those reporters camped out there. They wanted gossip.
What was the point?
I looked through the comments and was stunned.
“What a bumpkin. Is she really Blake’s girlfriend? I don’t believe it.”
“That’s right. Her clothes are so tacky.”
“Is she in love with Blake for real? Blake isn’t willing to spend money on her. I think their
relationship is superficial.”
“Maybe King Blake is only putting on a show with her!”
I felt a sense of powerlessness. Did they have to be so vicious?
I never felt that there was something wrong with my clothes. Plus, I didn’t have many requirements forcolors. Though I was a designer, I would not pay extra attention to my appearance.
I was seldom affected by others. However, I was still a bit unhappy after seeing those unpleasant
comments.
They had the right to comment, and they could say whatever they wanted. However, they did not knowthat the consequences of such verbal attacks might be devastating.novelbin
I noticed that many people were looking at me suspiciously. They must have seen the post online.
Meanwhile, my phone on the table rang.
I picked it up and took a look. It was Leo.
I stood up with my phone, walked out of the office, and picked a place where there were fewer people toanswer the phone.
“Catherine, what the hell? You are being accused because of your clothes. What did I say last time? Thefirst time I saw you, I felt that your clothes were too plain! No wonder people suspect that something iswrong between you and Blake,” when Leo heard my voice, he complained.
I listened quietly and then chuckled. “Am I supposed to wear something I don’t like just because they arepointing fingers at my clothes? Won’t I be a total pushover?”
“Catherine, I think you will look very young if you wear bright colors,” Leo said.
“How would you know?” I was amused by his words.
“Come on! Use your brain. Catherine, to be honest, Blake and you are not a match. You two are not fromthe same world,” Leo said jokingly.
I froze!
My eyes flapped gently, then I laughed to myself, “You’re right, I am indeed not good enough for LycanKing.”
