All Too Late novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 I Cannot Sit With You

Tyson did not know why he was so nervous.

Perhaps he was feeling that way because the press release that day was too important.

In the past, no matter how major the event was, all he had to do was make the arrangements.

There was nothing to worry about as long as Samuel was around.

“Ms. Johnson, I don’t want to feel this way, either,” explained Tyson. “I just realized Mr. Macari’s existence is extremely crucial to me and the entire Macari Group. It’s as if with him here, nothing will go wrong.”

Kathleen replied quietly, “He does give others that feeling.”

Although she feared Samuel, his powers were evident.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let the company collapse,” promised Kathleen.

Tyson nodded. “Everything will be fine as long as today’s press conference carries out according to the usual plan. As for the higher-ups, they’ll just have to show up. That’s all.”

He expected nothing more.

Kathleen glanced at him solemnly but said nothing.

“Kate?” Christopher walked over.

Kathleen looked at him impassively. “Chris?”

“Why are you here?” Christopher furrowed his brows. “Where’s Samuel?”

“He’s still on the way. He might not make it for the press conference,” Kathleen breathed.

Hearing that, Christopher stared into Kathleen’s eyes.

In his recollection, Kathleen would never lie.

However, Kathleen was an excellent actress.

As expected, Christopher did not notice any problems with her words. Softly, he said, “Tell Samuel to hurry. How could he be late for an event like today’s?”

“He doesn’t want to be late, either,” Kathleen answered sheepishly.

It was the truth.

Samuel never expected to be poisoned and pass out from it.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you sit here with me later?” Christopher whispered.

Kathleen shook her head. “I’m sorry, Chris. I can’t sit with you later.”

Christopher paused for a moment before saying, “Oh, I forgot. You and Caleb—”

“No,” Kathleen cut him off.

Her sudden interruption caught Christopher by surprise.

Kathleen said gently, “I’m not going to look for Caleb.”

Christopher tilted his head in confusion.

“I need to host the press conference on Samuel’s behalf.” Kathleen’s red lips curled into a smile.

Christopher stared at her in surprise.

“See you later at the press conference.” Kathleen flashed him a warm smile before leaving with Tyson.

A shocked Christopher was left to his own thoughts.

Kathleen’s hosting the press conference on Samuel’s behalf? Is she joking? Then again, she doesn’t look like she’s joking.

Christopher frowned and followed them.

The press conference was starting in five minutes.

Tyson went to the front to steal a glance.

To his surprise, there were many people seated below the stage. Even some of the higher-ups had shown up.

On top of that, all of them had solemn expressions.

When he was done studying the people in the hall, he backed down and went off to look for Kathleen.

She was busy studying the script when he appeared before her. With a calm expression, she asked, “What’s wrong, Tyson?”

“Nothing. It’s just that I saw some of the higher-ups there, and they look very serious,” Tyson said, feeling uneasy. “They’re literally expressionless. Are they unhappy because Mr. Macari isn’t here?”

“People who held high positions usually have no expression on their faces. They don’t like people to see through them,” Kathleen said nonchalantly. “If we want to figure out what’s on their minds, we’ll have to wait until the press conference is over.”
