Chapter 99
Ray changed back into suit. In a black suit and with long black hair, it was hard for people who didn’t know him to tell his gender. It was a rare thing for Joseph to dine in the canteen of the company.
Catherine thought Ray Riley might come here for her. She didn’t wear any expression, just nodded head coldly in a polite manner as greeting.
Then she continued to eat.
Ignored on his first time present in public as who he was, Ray was encouraged to have greater interest in Catherine, wearing a naughty smile around the corner of his mouth.
He took out the phone, “Give me your contact details.”
Catherine glanced at him indifferently, “There’s no need.”
She had bad impression on him. From what Julia said, she thought he was the type she didn’t like at all.
Ray didn’t seem upset at being refused, “I can get it anyway, even if you don’t want to give it to me. It’s quite simple.” “Am I right, Julia? You know how to contact Miss Johnson, don’t you?”
Julia bit her lips and said nothing.
Catherine turned her head back and had a look at Julia, seeing her eyes were blurred with tears, and then she shifted her sight to Ray’s dashing face.
Unaccountably, she thought there must be deeper relations between the two people.
After Anderson Clark’s matter, she now quite hated those who tried to embarrass women, “Find it out yourself if you want, why particularly embarrass a woman?”
Ray took his phone in front of Catherine.
She looked at the QR code on the phone and had a glance at Julia, finally calming herself down.
“Miss Johnson, I won’t give your information away, don’t you worry.”
Catherine’s eyes lingered between the two people, and then she took out her phone and scanned the QR code.
Ray took his phone back with satisfaction.
Joseph got up, “You’ve got what you want, let’s leave.”
Ray got up and smiled evilly at Catherine, “Gotta go this time. I’ll see you later.” After Ray left, Catherine added him to the blacklist in front of Julia.
If she was right, the relationship between Julia and Ray Riley was not that simple.
But she was new here, not quite familiar with Julia, so it was not suitable for her to have deep conversations with Julia as old acquaintances would do.
The Clark group.
Anderson Clark was standing in front of the French window, with his eyes stared deeply at the falling flakes of snow. He kept thinking of her saying that she didn’t want to keep the children.
Every time when thinking of her emotionless eyes, he would feel rather upset. “What is she doing these days?”
Arthur, who went blank with eyes staring at snowflakes, immediately replied, “Miss Scott is on the set, but she cares about you very much and yesterday she had a pair of cufflinks sent here.”
Anderson frowned. It was not the news he’d like to hear.
Noticing the changes on Anderson’s face, Arthur instantly got to know that Anderson was not talking about Johanna Scott. “Miss Johnson has been invited to join the Carter group as a member of its game department.”
Now she turned her eyes on Joseph Carter? Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ethan James gave her a job and Joseph Carter was busy providing her with part-time work, and even his friends spoke well of her.
She always knew how to win people over.
Arthur felt that Anderson was unhappy to hear this, so he stepped back slightly and suggested, “Miss Johnson is a proud person. If you want to keep her beside you, try to avoid tough measures, or you’ll push her further and further away.”
A pair of profound eyes with slightest feelings swept over Arthur.
Arthur was frightened to retreat half step further and not sure whether to say it or not. “What is it?” Anderson asked coldly.
“Things concerned with the Meow Comics Annual Meeting not long ago are still under investigation by the police. You see, should we give the police the information that Hudson got?”
“To prove Miss Johnson’s innocence.”
Anderson frowned again. That man refused to give away the plotter behind this issue no matter how Hudson questioned him. After a moment’s silence Anderson replied, “Yes, why not.”
Arthur was relieved, “I’ll have it sent to the police soon. Miss Johnson must be grateful to you, master.”
Anderson shifted his eyes back to the falling snow outside the window, “Who wants her gratitude.”
It was at the end of this year, during which the company was particularly busy.
The team which Catherine was in planned to finish their project before the annual leave.
“Let me tell you, it’s wishful thinking to finish it before vacation.” Lily said, with dozens of manuscripts in her hands.
“I will definitely suffer from sudden death, if I continue to stay up late.” Amya, a woman with short hair, cried weakly on the desk. “Before you die, you have to finish the story first.”
Amya threw a cushion at Terry, and cried, “Terry, do you have a heart?”
Terry caught the cushion, sank into his chair and had a sip of tea, “Look at Catherine, you should learn from her.”
Amya took a look at Catherine who was drawing manuscript with earphones on, and then she hurriedly shook her head, “No, she’s so crazy!”
Catherine took off the earphones and smiled, “I can hear you.”
“Catherine, don’t you feel tired?” Terry asked with a smile.
Catherine handed the newest manuscripts to Lily and stretched herself, “Of course, I do feel tired.”
Terry was a fat man, and the smile on his face really made him look like Maitreya Buddha, “Well, then have some rest. It’s not worth dying for it.”
“You’re exaggerating.” Catherine searched something in the data bags, “It’s rather good for me to get worn out by work, or I would imagine things.”
Amya was suddenly cheered up, and she stared at Catherine with her bright eyes, “Is it true that Ray Riley is courting you?” As Amya stopped speaking, Julia walked over with a bunch of roses and put it in front of Catherine.
Catherine immediately threw it into the trash can beside her desk, even without shedding her sight on it.
She looked up at Julia and said, “Just tell Ray Riley, I have no interest in him at all.”
‘If he keeps harassing me, tell him that he first should ask whether Ethan James will allow it or not.”
Ethan James was her boyfriend in name only. Why not make a good use of it? She thought.
Julia shook her head helplessly, “He won’t change his mind easily unless he tries everything. Gotta go.”
Other people in the office had got used to it that Ray Riley sent flowers here every day, but except Amya, who always would be excited to talk about it every time!
“To my knowledge, it’s the first time that Mr Riley courts a woman with such persistence. Catherine, could it be that he really falls in love with you?”
Lily beside her sneered but said nothing.
“Fall in love? No, it’s just that he hasn’t lost interest before I’m hooked.” With a gorgeous face and wealthy family, Ray Riley had been used to being flattered by women.
Now he met a woman who just played the opposite, which stirred up his interest. She had seen a lot of this in the world of rich people.
“She is at the center of the matter but apparently she has a clear head, which you’re exactly lack of. If a man wants to cheat you, I’m sure he can easily get you.” Lily lectured Amya with a sharp tongue.
The two continued to argue in the office, and Catherine started to devote herself to studying the materials.
Her strength and ability were recognized by everyone and her team didn’t see her as a useless eye candy, so she liked her life in the Carter group.
There was somebody to talk to when getting tired in work, which was far better than being alone. As Catherine was wondering, the phone beside her suddenly rang.
