Chapter 144


    Catherine’s POV


    After eating two pieces of bread, I stood up with my purse. “I’ll go to work now. Enjoy!”


    “Let’s go together. I’ll send you to the office.” ke suddenly stood up.


    Then I remembered that my car had been sent to be repaired, so I couldn’t drive to work.


    “Thanks, then!” I didn’t refuse him. Instead, I followed him out of the door,


    I sat in ke’s car and arrived at thepany.


    As soon as I got out of the car, I heard the sound of some reporters secretly taking photos next to me. I


    turned around vigntly, while they jumped into their car instantly and left.


    I was speechless. I guessed it wasn’t easy to be a reporter nowadays. They went here to wait for us


    early in the morning, and they even acted like thieves when taking photos of us.


    What was their purpose?


    I knew my life would never be peaceful again now that I was involved with ke.


    As soon as I stepped into the elevator, everyone was staring at me.


    They were all employees from other departments, and I didn’t know them well. Only one of them worked


    in the same office as me. She immediately squeezed over and held my arm as if she was close to me.


    “Cathy, you look so elegant today!”


    I smiled and replied, “Thank you.”


    Everyone on the side could hear that the woman was ttering me, and all of them revealed


    expressions of disdain.

    Fortunately, the elevator doors opened very quickly. I hurriedly walked out, and the woman behind me


    followed in a hurry. “Cathy, we have been colleagues for many days. You probably still don’t know my


    name!”


    “I remember you. You are Emma. I needed your help with a file before, and you threw it on me. I was


    impressed.”


    Emma stopped at once.


    The corners of my mouth curled up into a slightly evil smile. I loathed snobs.


    After I entered the office, the first thing I did was knock on Melinda’s door.


    When Melinda saw mee in, she smiled. “Cathy, you’re here! What about that thing you said to me


    vesterday?”


    “Melinda, ke has agreed to make you the head of the Design Department. I guess congrattions are


    in order!”


    The reason why I was so confident that Melinda had a chance was that on the way here just now, ke


    had already promised me that the letter for her appointment would be issued today, and Guy would be


    fired


    Vanessa had a meeting with Guy in the royal pack’s prison, and she told the truth. She admitted that it


    was all her doing to set me up, that Guy had nothing to do with it. She felt bitter about being yed by


    him, and he didn’t care about her at all.


    I went out with Melinda. When we reached the elevator, we bumped into Guy, who had packed up his


    things and was about to leave.


    Guy’s eyes were filled with resentment as he stared at me. He then mocked Melinda, “Well, well. I guess


    connections do matter when ites to getting a promotion. Melinda, I never treated you unfairly. Yet


    you are so sinister! Now that you are promoted, congrattions! I hope you won’t get stabbed in the


    back.”


    Melinda was slightly stunned. I saw Melinda’s panicked expression and immediately said coldly, “Guy,


    you were dismissed not because of any mistakes in your work, but because of your personal affair.”


    “If the reason why I was kicked out was that I had an affair with Vanessa, what about King ke and


    you? You two are also subordinates when you’re in thepany. Shouldn’t you be kicked out as well?”


    Guy mocked.


    I was stunned. I never thought about this.


    Melinda immediately chimed in, “How dare you speak ill of King ke? Maybe you’ve forgotten who you


    are and want to be expelled from the pack. And if memory serves me correctly, Guy, you already have a


    mate. You will be punished by the Moon Goddess.”


    Guy choked on Melinda’s words. He lowered his head and quickly walked forward.


    Melinda patted me on the shoulder and said, “Don’t take his words seriously. This is King ke’s


    company. I’m surprised that Guy dares to be rude to you.”


    At noon, I received a call, asking me to go over and pick up my obsidian ne.


    The craftsman was skilled. My ne had beenpletely repaired. Though it wasn’t wless, I still


    felt better simply by looking at it.


    It was a shame that I still hadn’t gotten any useful clues about the ne.


    In the afternoon, a group of photos suddenly popped up online.


    The title was eye-catching.


    ke, the CEO of the Chavez Group, personally sent his girlfriend to work. The love the couple shared


    was deep and enviable.


    And a photo of me walking down from ke’s car was attached below.


    There was also a photo of me and ke looking at each other inside the car.


    When I saw the photos, I pulled a wry face.


    No wonder those reporters camped out there. They wanted gossip.


    What was the point?


    I looked through thements and was stunned.


    “What a bumpkin. Is she really ke’s girlfriend? I don’t believe it.”


    “That’s right. Her clothes are so tacky.”


    “Is she in love with ke for real? ke isn’t willing to spend money on her. I think their


    rtionship is superficial.”


    “Maybe King ke is only putting on a show with her!”


    I felt a sense of powerlessness. Did they have to be so vicious?


    I never felt that there was something wrong with my clothes. Plus, I didn’t have many requirements for


    colors. Though I was a designer, I would not pay extra attention to my appearance.


    I was seldom affected by others. However, I was still a bit unhappy after seeing those unpleasant


    They had the right toment, and they could say whatever they wanted. However, they did not know


    that the consequences of such verbal attacks might be devastating.


    I noticed that many people were looking at me suspiciously. They must have seen the post online.


    Meanwhile, my phone on the table rang.


    I picked it up and took a look. It was Leo.


    I stood up with my phone, walked out of the office, and picked a ce where there were fewer people to


    answer the phone.


    “Catherine, what the hell? You are being used because of your clothes. What did I sayst time? The


    first time I saw you, I felt that your clothes were too in! No wonder people suspect that something is


    wrong between you and ke,” when Leo heard my voice, heined.


    I listened quietly and then chuckled. “Am I supposed to wear something I don’t like just because they are


    pointing fingers at my clothes? Won’t I be a total pushover?”


    “Catherine, I think you will look very young if you wear bright colors,” Leo said.


    “How would you know?” I was amused by his words.


    “Come on! Use your brain. Catherine, to be honest, ke and you are not a match. You two are not from


    the same world,” Leo said jokingly.


    I froze!


    My eyes pped gently, then Iughed to myself, “You’re right, I am indeed not good enough for Lycan


    King.”
