Chapter 347
In the end, Catelyn rejected George’s invitation. (I wish you all the best in the future.)
The screen on her phone did not light up again for a long time after that, and she had thought that
George had finally gained clarity on the situation, but the phone buzzed again after a while.
[I mean everything I said to you before. If you still haven’t found anyone by the time I come back,
consider me, will you?]
She could almost picture the sincere and shy expression on George when he typed the message. She
knew that he did not volunteer to go to Europae, at least not in the present
During lunchtime, everyone headed to Mason Group’s canteen for employees. Catelyn did not have
much of an appetite and thus placed down her spoon and fork after just a few bites.
Concerned, Samantha asked, “Catelyn, why are you eating so little?” “My stomach feels a bit

that collected used cutleries. She dragged her feet toward the elevator and glanced at the floor indication
on the right. Her finger stopped right before she was about to press on the floor of her office as she
gazed up at the top floor button.
With an arm-full of documents, she headed to the CEO’s office. By the time she arrived, she noticed that
the door was left slightly open, and she could distinctly hear the sounds of the people talking inside the
room. It was Winnie, giving updates to Cedrick on work.
“Cousin Cedrick, I’ve proofread the data, and there won’t be any issue concerning the contract with
Mister Hyatt. We’ll seal the deal by next week.”
Catelyn decided against going in and stood on the side to wait. “Good work. Go have your lunch,”
Cedrick’s voice came through the door.
“There’s also something else that I’d like to discuss with you.” Winnie did not leave right away and
continued after Cedrick nodded his permission. “I’ve observed Catelyn Clark for a while, and not only is
she under-educated, she hasn’t even graduated from college. The human resource department only
brought her in because of her connection with Ollie, but
she’s too careless and incapable, and I’d like to fire her.”
Catelyn’s heart sank into her stomach at Winnie’s comment regarding her, and she could not help but
fear Cedrick would agree.
“You’re wrong about something,” Cedrick’s low, rumbling voice filled the room.
Confused, Winnie questioned, “About what?”
“It’s true that they gave Catelyn Clark a job, but not because of her connection with Ollie. It’s because of
her connection with me,” Cedrick drawled. “She is my girlfriend now.”
Winnie was instantly at loss for words and gaped at Cedrick, seemingly thrown off by the information.
“As for her being careless, I know which report you’re referring to, and she was only responsible for

“So she’s the woman who got you to cancel your engagement to Maia Clark.”
Catelyn’s heart raced at their conversation. She had only wanted to hand him the documents and talk
about George, but… After an internal struggle, she decided to retreat and mention it again in the future.
However, she only managed to walk two steps away before remembering that she still had his cross, and
she promised to return it to him. Just then, the office door opened, and Winnie strode out. When she saw
Catelyn standing by the door, her features stiffened awkwardly. “Catelyn? Are you here to see my
cousin?”
Overwhelmed by a feeling that she had been caught doing something bad, Catelyn pointed sheepishly at
the documents and said, “I’m here to deliver some documents to Master Cedrick. Have I interrupted
something?” “No. I didn’t know who you were before, but let’s get along from now on. I’ll be sure to look
after you,” said Winnie before leaving.
