Chapter 444 I Can Handle Him
“Keeping disloyal people by one’s side is akin to having a time bomb. Besides, the other company offered them a high price. They naturally won’t stay,” Kathleen uttered impassively.
Tyson said sympathetically, “But Mr. Macari has put his heart and soul into the work.”
“I won’t let Samuel’s hard work go down the drain. Are they going to meet Trevor now?”
Nodding, Tyson answered, “Yes. They have taken all the proposals with them. This new energy electric car will be put into production immediately once they join the team.”
Kathleen instructed, “Okay. I got it. Send someone to keep an eye on the situation. I’ll go to the office this afternoon.”
“All right.” Tyson hung up the phone.
Sighing, Kathleen massaged her temples.
Soon after, she arrived at the Macari residence.
Both Eilam and Desiree missed her dearly.
Even though they communicated with her through video calls, they could not see their mother in person. Thus, they were concerned about her.
Looking at her two children, Kathleen immediately embraced them.
Wynnie stood in front of them with a sorrowful expression.
Samuel had been missing for three months. Yet, there was still no news of his whereabouts. Wynnie was very worried deep down. However, she decided to put on a brave face so that her emotions would not affect Diana.
Tugging at Kathleen’s sleeve, Desiree asked, ”Mommy, where’s Daddy? Why hasn’t he come home?”
Kathleen caressed the girl’s face and reassured, “Daddy is too busy at the moment. He’ll return when he’s no longer busy with his work.”
“Why is he so busy? He’s already wealthy,” Desiree asked, feeling confused.
“Everyone has a goal they want to achieve in their lives. It has nothing to do with money. Be good. I promise we’ll go to the amusement park together when Daddy isn’t busy, okay?” Kathleen suggested hoarsely.
Desiree nodded. “All right.”
However, Eilam looked at Kathleen in silence.
Glancing at Wynnie, Kathleen called out, “Mrs. Macari.”
Wynnie nodded and signaled the housekeeper to take the two children inside.
The two women stood by the door.
Kathleen choked up and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Macari. I wasn’t able to bring Samuel back. However, I don’t think he’s dead.”
“If he’s still alive, then what happened to him? Why didn’t he try to contact us?” Wynnie’s eyes were red-rimmed.
“Perhaps, it’s inconvenient for him to do so,” Kathleen postulated.
Wynnie sniffled. “Kate, what if Samuel never comes back?”
“That won’t happen.” Stepping forward, Kathleen hugged Wynnie before adding, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Macari. I promise to find Samuel and bring him home.”
“Okay. I have faith in you.” Wynnie wiped her tears. “You’ve lost weight.”
When Kathleen left, she was probably forty-five kilograms. Yet, she was likely only forty kilograms right now.
She was too skinny at that moment.
In the afternoon, Kathleen went to Macari Group.
As soon as she entered the office, she immediately sensed a cold aura.
Without paying too much attention to it, she took the elevator upstairs and went to the chairman’s office.
Calvin knew Kathleen was coming.
“You’re back.” He heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, Calvin was no longer in the prime of his life. It was exhausting for him to carry such a heavy responsibility of managing a big company on his shoulders these days, especially when he had already taken the back seat and handed everything over to Samuel.
Samuel led the company toward reformation and innovation. There were things Calvin was not familiar with in these fields. Hence, he seemed helpless at times.
Fortunately, the company was relatively stable even though some of its employees had quit recently.
“Mr. Macari, how are you doing?” Kathleen greeted.
Nodding, Calvin answered, “I’m still holding on.”
“Trevor was the one behind this whole mess. I’m so sorry.” Taking a deep breath, she continued, “Leave it to me. I have a way to deal with him. I won’t let him get away with it that easily.”
