    The way Cedrick spoke to her was sweet and mild.


    "You''re so superior andmanding, Mister CEO. Why can''t Ie?" Catelyn teased as she raised her eyebrows.


    Cedrick nced at the huge stacks of documents Catelyn had ced on the table and roughly knew what happened. He recalled that no one


    informed him about Catelyn''s arrival, so he called the internal line and asked, "Who''s the administrative secretary on duty today?"


    "Please hold while I check,” came the trembling voice of a female.


    Several secondster, the general secretary answered, "It''s Yoyo. Is there anything else I can help you with?"


    "Ask her to receive half a year''s wages from the finance department and not toe in anymore from tomorrow."


    Decisive with absolute power that denied anyone''s rebuttal.


    The secretary was stunned. ''Missus Mason is here, so why is the CEO still being fussy? He''s even


    sacking people now! Goodness, this is definitely the worst way to enter a new year!''


    "Wait." Without waiting for the secretary to answer, Catelyn snatched the phone from Cedrick with her


    long, slender fingers and said, "He''s just kidding with you. You don''t have to tell Yoyo that. Let her


    continue showing up for work tomorrow."


    "What?" The secretary was bewildered. ''So is Yoyo being sacked or not? Who should I listen to?''


    She did not dare to follow Catelyn''s instructions. Thus, the woman on the other end of the line gathered


    her courage to reconfirm with Cedrick.


    Cedrick lifted his head to look at the woman who snatched the phone from him. He tapped his feet and


    slowly moved his chair near the windows. The ray from the sunset shone on his figure, making him


    seemingly glistening in gold.


    Instead of answering, he merely pointed at hisp for Catelyn to sit on.


    Catelyn shook the phone.


    Reverting to his steely disposition, he spoke to the phone, his voice dark sounding, "Didn''t you hear


    what she said? Continue your work. Forget what I said about Yoyo."


    Catelyn smiled smugly upon hearing this. Just as she hung up the phone, however, Cedrick pulled her


    by the waist, and it took only two steps forward for her to stumble and fall onto Cedrick''sp, sitting on


    him.


    Coincidentally, it was exactly the spot Cedrick was pointing at. A sigh came from above her head. She


    could also feel vibrating in his chest when he talked, "Why didn''t you tell me you wereing?"


    ''I can''t do spot checks if I inform you!" drawled Catelyn.


    "Check on me?" Cedrick squinted his eyes meaningfully. "What do you want to check?”


    "People always say that a marriage is at its most dangerous state when the wife is pregnant. What do you think I want to check? I''m here to


    check if you''re having an affair behind my back, of course."


    While she was talking, she nced at the table full of documents.

    He had been taking care of hertely, living in Atherton Manor after his work to be with her. Due to her pregnancy, she would have abrupt


    mood swings. Moreover, she had been worried sick that he would force her to have an abortion. Thus, her fetus was unstable. She woke up


    more often than a normal pregnant woman would.


    In spite of that, he was always the first one beside her whenever she woke up. It was very seldom that he could really have a good night''s


    sleep.


    Nevertheless, she did not expect his workload to be so huge. If this situation continued, even the man of steel would copse!


    He pinched his chin with his thumb and index finger. Staring into her eyes yfully while using another hand to caress the slight bump on her


    belly, he fondly remarked, "There''s a bed in the office. Do you want to search deeper?"
