Chapter 358
“He won’t succeed,” interjected Cedrick, cutting off Javier from continuing.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.” The worried Javier nervously continued, “Nine has always been a cunning man, and no one knows who’s working with him. Cedrick, you should remove Catelyn from the company. Let me help you—” Cedrick glared at him and rolled the car window up. “Drive!” Javier sighed deeply. ‘Has Cedrick been lured senseless by a woman? I must find a way to kick Catelyn out!
That afternoon.
Catelyn got out of the car and felt anxious for the rest of the day.
The last thing she wanted to do was to betray Cedrick. Even if it was for her sons, he was their father!
Still, what was she supposed to do, being under the pressure of such an aggressive man?
Her sons and she became the casualties of a battle between two relatives the moment she got forcefully involved.
“Catelyn.” Winnie tapped her fingers on her table when she blanked out. “Mister Cedrick had requested for me to guide you. Please stay over tonight; I have something that I’d like you to help me with.”
Catelyn snapped out of her thoughts instantly as she replied, “Understood, Miss Winnie.”
Catelyn did not even have dinner when she got off from work and headed straight to see Winnie. Winnie had her own office, with a few employees working in their respective cubicles outside of her office.
At this moment, Javier spotted Catelyn.
Titling his head up, he ordered, “Hey, Catelyn, good timing! I have a bidding document here that needs your help in verifying the numbers, and we need it for the bid.”
Catelyn had no choice but to accept the USB flash and reluctantly muttered, “No. I’ll do it right away.”
Javier looked at her again and added, “The information in there is very important. Make sure to not tell anyone about it after you’re done with it.”
“I’m aware.” What Catelyn did not understand was why Javier would give her such an important task when he seemed to dislike her.
Javier realized she was confused and thus sneered, “If it’s not for the fact that you’re Cedrick’s girlfriend, I wouldn’t even have let you do it!”
He stared at her and continued, “Do you know that Nine likes to plant his people to work under Cedrick? We call them spies.” Catelyn was about to insert the USB flash into her computer when she heard that and froze in place. If she copied the information from the USB flash and gave it to David, she would be a spy, too. The term ‘spy’ sounded so painful in her ears.
Winnie overheard their conversation and frowned. “Get back to work, Javier. Cedrick didn’t give you a job to gossip.”
