    Chapter 348


    Catelyn hesitated from entering the office, but Cedrick had spotted her and thus called out to her, “What


    are you doing out there?”


    Catelyn stepped inside with resignation and handed the documents to Cedrick for his signature Cedrick


    tossed them aside and asked, “You haven’t had your lunch?”


    “Well…” Catelyn nodded, before shaking her head again. “I did, but I didn’t eat much, so I finished rather


    quickly.


    “L..want to ask if you were the one who gave the order to send George to Europae.” Cedrick poured


    himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. “Why haven’t you eaten much?” Catelyn scowled. “I’m talking


    about George right now.”


    “So am I.”


    Cedrick set his cup down and stared at her intently. Her reflection filled his eyes as he stood, and the


    office instantly appeared less spacious with his towering figure. “You used to have George around, and


    with him now gone, you’ve lost your appetite for food and simply couldn’t wait toe and plead for


    him?”


    He studied her expression without letting the slightest change escape his eyes.


    Catelyn bit her lower lip as she finally understood his logic behind the matter.


    “I’m just concerned because his family and friends are here in Sapphire City. Have you even asked about


    his opinion on sending him away? He would’ve been of more use to you here…” “You know about his


    family and friends?” He questioned sharply.


    This was not the point, Catelyn wanted to tell him.


    Feeling slightly defeated, she continued, “Did you transfer him because of me? That day at the


    restaurant, he did say something, but we’re just friends-“.


    “This is a workce, and I’m not interested in the details of your romantic dramas.” Cedrick’s expression


    hardened into an unforgiving mask, and the tenderness of when he first spotted Catelyn faded.


    The sunlight shone into the room, and his face seemed to have twisted in a more ruthless manner.


    Refusing to give up, Catelyn said, “There has never been any kind of romantic drama between me and


    him. You fired Jennifer for bringing personal emotions into work; isn’t that the same thing?”


    Thest drop of kindness disappeared into the depths of his eyes, leaving nothing but rage behind. “Are


    you confronting me for his sake?”


    “Both George and Jennifer had brought their personal emotions into the workce and argued in front of


    everyone. Consider it a mercy that I didn’t fire him. If you say anything else,


    I can’t promise that I won’t kick him out of thispany!” With eyes filled with frustration, his tone turned


    as cold as ice.


    ‘Who does George think he is? How dare he hold Catelyn’s hand in front of everyone? I’ve only sent him


    away instead of firing him, and now, she’s lost her appetite and came all the way here to plead for the


    guy? I asked her toe up and make me coffee before, yet she kept saying that she doesn’t want


    others to see her. What happened to not wanting others to see her now?’


    Catelyn swallowed the words she was about to say to defend George, knowing that anything she said


    would only add fuel to the me.


    She wanted to return the cross to him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he barked coldly, “Get


    out!”


    “I just want to -”

    “Do I need to get the security to throw you out?” Cedrick interrupted her. She thus left the top floor.


    The cross she held slowly turned warm from her own temperature. Her head throbbed in pain at the


    thought of failing to give it back to him.
