Chapter 409


    Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 409


    Catherine shook her head, smiling.


    She received another wave ofpliments again upon arriving at the office.


    Harvey York, her assistant, came over with a smile. “Chairwoman Jones, you’re looking really goodtely


    with all the good things happening. Everyone in Canberra knows Eldest Young Master Hill spoils you like


    a little baby. Oh right, this is the invitation to Holt Corporation’s business dinner. This is the invitation from


    the youngdy of Heaven Corporation to theirpany’s fashion party…”


    She was speechless looking at the thick stack of invitations.


    “Shaunarah Corporation is about tounch their microchip, hence every business is trying to build good


    connections with Eldest Young Master Hill. Being his wife makes you another important person to


    maintain good ties with.”


    “You’re right. It was so difficult to get even one such invitation in the past.” She smiled sarcastically.


    “Indeed, connections mean everything in Canberra.”


    “It’s mainly because Eldest Young Master Hill is capable. Chairwoman Jones, you have great taste in


    men.”


    She was at a loss for words. “Hand these invitations out to the other members of the board. They can


    participate on my behalf.”


    “Sure thing.”


    She received a call from an unknown number after Harvey left.


    “Catherine, it’s been a while. I’ve arrived in Canberra. Do you have time for a coffee?”


    Patrick’s voice sounded through the speaker. Sheughed unconsciously to cover up her surprise. It was


    true that one should not gossip about those whom they had lost touch with or they would creep into your


    life soon again.


    ……


    In the cafe in the office lobby.


    Catherine met Patrick once again.


    Evidently, the man had not been doing welltely. He looked much thinner than thest time they met.


    The charm on his face was reced by rough edges, while his eyes revealed a hint of devastation and


    exhaustion.


    However, she did not take pity on him at all. He only had himself to me.


    “Long time… no see.” A strange expression shed across his face upon seeing Catherine’s


    appearance.


    “You can save our time if you’re here to discuss my appearance,” she said tly.


    “I understand. Your status is different now. Everyone in the country knows that the chairwoman of


    Hudson Corporation is the wife of Eldest Young Master Hill. It seems that I had always underestimated


    you in the past.” The man’s voice revealed a hint of remorse.


    She thought he was behaving strangely. “Get to the point.”


    “I want to know where Freya is. She’s changed her phone number,” he exined weakly, “I’ve not been


    able to contact her all this while.”


    “All this while?” Sheughed coldly. “Freya has indeed changed her phone number and even stopped


    checking in with her old friends after moving to Canberra. But my number is still the same. You could’ve


    called me any time but you didn’t. Not until today.”


    “I…”


    “It’s been almost three months after you broke up but you’ve only started to look for her now.”

    She gave another sarcastic sneer, saying, “Did you think she was throwing tantrums or being


    unreasonable again? Were you nning on ignoring her for a little while, thinking that she’s never really


    going to leave you? You thought she would get in touch first but she hadn’t done so in a few months. It’s


    only now that you realize she might be serious so you want to look for her, don’t you?”


    He was embarrassed by the insults. “Catherine, I’ve been with Freya for a few years already and we


    even talked about getting married this year. This is not a joke. What we have is real.”


    “Sorry, but I don’t think so.”


    She flew into a rage. “You always rush to Linda whenever she needs you. You did that on the day you


    were supposed to meet Freya’s parents for the first time and I think you’d do the same again on your


    engagement day or even the day of your wedding. Freya’s right, you should be with Linda as the two of


    you are more suitable for each other. Stop trying to mess up Freya’s life again.”


    “I really just see Linda as a younger sister…”


    “Excuse me for being frank, but no one can tolerate a man who always puts his non-blood-rted


    younger sister before his girlfriend or wife.” She rose to her feet after saying that. “You used to say that I


    was deliberately ruining your rtionship with Freya. You’re right, I won’t let you hurt her again and I sure


    won’t tell you her whereabouts.”
