Chapter 236
Chapter 236
In the past, Celine thought that Zack was a good man for Katherine, but since they divorced, she felt that Zack was not worthy of her idol's love.
As if she didn't know what was Zack's hidden agenda behind his invitation to drive her home.
He would ask Katherine to have a coffee for a while in the villa, and she might let him in, which would result in an intimate night between a man and a woman who was left alone.
That was likely to happen if Katherine gave in and became softhearted.
So, Celine secretly praised herself for stopping that kind of possibility while she was happily driving.But her car suddenly stopped and made Katherine slowly open her eyes.
"What's wrong? Why did we stop?" Katherine asked.
Celine slowly glanced at her.
Her face was a little flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, but the car broke down, Miss Wilson.I'll go and take a look.Please, stay inside," she said.
Every night, this road didn't have many cars passing by.
So, how could Katherine let her pretty and trusted secretary go out of the car alone to check it? Even if she nodded in response, she unfastened her seatbelt and followed Celine out of the vehicle.
Celine saw her coming over and felt a little guilty.
"Miss Wilson, please get inside the car.It's so cold outside tonight" she said.
She was more concerned about her boss than herself.
"No, I'm fine” Katherine quickly replied.She walked to the car's front and pulled the hood up when she was done talking.
The truth was, Celine didn’t have that much knowledge about cars.She could not tell if her car was broken down or not.
Looking at it now, she indeed could not tell.
Thankfully Katherine went out and helped her.
"Take down the warning rack first,'' she instructed.
Celine hurriedly nodded.She was so nervous that she forgot about this basic procedure when fixing a car.
The car seemed really broken down.
However, Katherine didn't know how to repair one.She only knew how to determine if it was broken or not.
"Miss Wilson, should I ask Mr.Gibbs to come and pick you up?" Celine asked instead.
"Hmmm...no.It was already too late.Let's drop that option" Katherine disagreed and shook her head.
Ed was Katherine's driver, but she usually drove herself often.
So, Ed was busy driving for others and was working for the secretarial department every day.
Besides, it was so late.
Katherine did not want to disturb Ed anymore, and the man might be sleeping soundly at the moment.
Celine stopped preparing to call the driver when she heard Katherine's word.She had to give up the thought.Her boss was right.
Annoyed, she looked at her car and felt a little disappointed.
This was the only time she had asked Katherine to drive her home, but she failed.She thought from the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, why did it have to break down today? She hated it.
Meanwhile, it was lucky that Katherine was not hurrying to get home. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
So, she instructed Celine about the solution to their dilemma.
"Go, hail a taxi and ask about some tow truck company to take this over.When the tow truck arrives, I will take a taxi."
Celine wanted to let Katherine go first, but she had to follow her order.It was such a cold night.
She would not let Katherine suffer alone in the cold.She needed to stay here with her.
Looking at Katherine, Celine could only swallow her words emotionally and muttered, "Okay, Miss Wilson."
Katherine nodded at her and looked at the time on her wristwatch.
It was half-past nine o'clock.It seemed like Katherine would not sleep early today.
When Katherine looked up, a black Maybach slowly stopped when it reached them.
The car headlights shone over and lighted up the dark road.
Katherine subconsciously raised her hand to block the light.
She was about to put her hand down when she noticed Zack open the door and get out of the car.
‘What a coincidence!’ Katherine thought.
"It broke down?" he asked as soon as he went out.
His stare was on the car.
Celine hung up her phone and was about to walk over to block Zack's line of sight.
However, she remembered her disappointing car and stopped.
"Yes" Katherine coldly responded.
Zack glanced at Celine, who had just been fighting him earlier over who would drive Katherine home.
He frowned and looked back at Katherine before saying, "Get in my car first.I'll give Aidan a call’
"Thank you, but there is no need for that.Celine can handle this" she stubbornly replied.
It was unusual for Celine to be on the same side as Zack, but she agreed and voiced it out.
"Miss Wilson, please get in Mr.Colburn’s car first.It's too cold here."
Katherine meaningfully stared at Celine.
‘This little traitor’ she thought while looking at her.
Even though her boss didn't say a few words, Celine understood what her gaze meant.So, she guiltily avoided her and shifted her glance.
Even though Celine didn't want Zack to win this argument with her boss, she had to take his side.
Her car was at fault for breaking down in the middle of nowhere, where the wind was too cold and intense outside.She was okay with staying outside and freezing in the cold, but she wouldn't allow it if it were Katherine.
