    Chapter 343


    “Jennifer, I took Catelyn out for dinner the day before yesterday, and I can stand witness to prove that


    she didn’t see any notice. I’ve been working with her for some time now, so I believe that she’s not the


    social-climbing woman you painted her to be.”


    Catelyn and Jennifer looked over and saw George walking toward them.


    After readjusting himself yesterday, he appeared slightly more energized than before, but the


    complicated look in his eyes remained when he looked at Catelyn. Catelyn had not expected George to


    be in their office. Though they belonged to the same department, not everyone shared the same office.


    George’s office was two doors next to Catelyn’s office, which meant that there was a distance in


    between.


    He quickly made his way when he overheard someone saying that Jennifer was arguing with Catelyn,


    and true enough, he immediately heard Jennifer using Catelyn of scheming as soon as he arrived.


    Jennifer had been secretly in love with George and beamed when she saw him, but when she realized


    that George was here to defend Catelyn, her eyes were filled with anger.


    She stared daggers at Catelyn before confronting George. “Just because you invited her out for dinner


    doesn’t mean that she didn’t see the notice! Samantha is close with her, so she would’ve told Catelyn


    about it yesterday, even if that’s the case. George, this is a workce and everything requires concrete


    proof, not your personal im.” Still frustrated, she added,” Or maybe, the rumors going around are true,


    and you two are an item. Are you trying to defend your girlfriend now?”


    “Bullsh*t!” Not wanting to cause any trouble for Catelyn, George immediately snapped,” Catelyn and I are


    just friends. Stop trying to bring our private lives into this!” “You are the one bringing your private life into


    work! If she’s just a friend, would you take her out for meals three times throughout the week? Would you


    care so much for her?”


    Jennifer had long forgotten about the notice and was obsessed with the rtionship between George


    and Catelyn. She was confident that she was far more brilliant and good at her job than Catelyn ever


    would be, and she had tried to flirt with George multiple times, so how would George ignore her?


    Annoyed by the question, George retorted, “That’s my business, and I don’t have to tell you anything-


    certainly not here in the office. Miss Monroe, I’d like to remind you to hold your tongue.” With that, he


    took Catelyn’s hand and strode out. “I’ll submit an application to the Design Director to make you my


    assistant so that you won’t have to stay here to deal with this harassment.”


    To George, someone as superior as Cedrick would not be associated with Catelyn. He remembered


    when Catelyn had to stay in Cedrick’s mansion because of the rain at the time, and she still rejected


    Cedrick.

    George refused to believe that Catelyn would seduce Cedrick and thus med everything on Jennifer’s


    false usation.


    Catelyn had yet to recover from the argument between George and Jennifer and was even more


    confused when she heard George saying that he would apply for her to be his assistant. “Uhm, listen to


    me, George. Actually, I-” “Master Cedrick?” To their surprise, they ran into Cedrick on their way past the


    design department.


    Catelyn stilled.


    Cedrick stood in the distance with one hand inside his pocket, while Charles and the design director


    stood closely behind him.


    Through the ss door, she noticed that his expression twisted for a moment. He nced at the joined


    hands of George and Catelyn and his lips curled into a faint, icy smile. When everyone finally stopped


    talking, he asked rhetorically, “Are you done?”
