Can't Help Falling In Love novel Chapter 20

"Mom, I think you are strange. Today I don't want to talk about values of life with you. I just want to ask you, why are you so strange to him? " Asked Kate, as she took a seat on her office.

Ever since her childhood, Kate and Mary have been very close, not like mother and daughter, but like friends. In many people's eyes, this kind of relationship was very good. In fact, Kate knew that it was just because they were too lonely. They both wanted to have a thoughtful friend.

Anyway, Mary was her mother. Though they were close to each other, Kate would listen to a lot of Mary's words. Since Kate went to college, they were not as close to each other as before. There were many ideas that had been separated between them. For example, from the second year of University, Mary had arranged many blind dates for Kate. At that time, Kate was disgusted with blind date. But after that, she gradually got used to it and didn't pay attention to those blind dates.

If it weren't for Mary's oppression, how could Kate have got the marriage certificate with a random man. Mary hoped that Kate could find her Mr. Right as soon as possible, so that she could feel at ease. However, she had never thought about all these questions from the perspective of Kate.

"Is this the way you talk to mom?" Mary's voice became serious. A serious mother, who had been late for ten years, came back at this moment.

"Kate, be a good girl. Listen to me, break your connection with Brian. He's not good for you. He's really not good for you. " Mary softened her tone and said with somewhat tiredness.

Kate kept silent. She neither agreed nor opposed. She looked up and saw Brian walking into the CEO's office. She really didn't understand why a person's personality was evaluated just for one meeting.

Her mother didn't accept Brian. Was it really because she didn't think that a cold and uncaring man like Brian was suitable to be a husband? Or something else?

After hanging up the phone, Kate was in a trance.

A CEO was already annoying her enough, and now she had a mother. For no reason, when she heard that Mary wanted her to end the relationship with Brian, Kate was suddenly overwhelmed with fear, as if Mary's words could cut off her relationship with Brian.

This feeling was so strange to Kate.

Seeing piles of work piled up, Kate put aside her personal emotions and immersed herself in work slowly.

A document needed to be sent to the CEO's office to Brian. Standing at the door of the CEO's office, Kate knocked on the door gently. As CEO's secretary, it was inevitable for them to meet each other, but it was very difficult for Kate to calm down.

Brian was still buried in work. During the days she spent with him, Kate knew that he was a responsible and good boss, who didn't live up to his reputation. In fact, behind every success, there are tears of bitterness.

With this thought in mind, Kate suddenly found that Brian was not a god, he is a human just like her.

The shorter distance was a lot further due to the word "cut off" from Mary. She twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly and put the documents on the desk of Brian before leaving. She didn't want to disturb his work.

"Wait for me to get off work tonight." After walking a few steps, she heard what Brian said behind.

Kate stopped her step, and Jacob, who was next to Brian, was also stunned.

A few seconds later, Kate nodded and replied politely, "yes, boss."

Her tone became polite and alienated.

"This girl is interesting." Seeing the back of Kate disappear at the door, Jacob said with a smile.

"What a pity that she has already been married." It seemed unintentional but also a warning.

Jacob was so smart that he understood what Brian meant. With a wry smile on his face, he said, "you think too much. It's a common case that a friend's wife cannot be bullied. I understand it."

Looking at the expressionless Brian, Jacob was surprised. As his classmate, of course they got along very well. Although he was now the private assistant of Brian, their way of getting along was similar to that of friends, even Jacob was afraid to offend him.

When she went back to the office like a ghost, she saw a man peeping around at the door of the secretarial room. When she saw that man's head, Kate felt it was funny. Wasn't this man Lora?

"Kate!" Lora greeted Kate excitedly, waving her hand at her as soon as she saw her.

Lora didn't make much noise, but it was enough for everyone in the Secretary Department to hear. Kate sighed and walked out of the office.

It is obvious why Lora were here. There was no secret wall in the company. The news that Kate was promoted to the CEO's secretary because of sleeping had spread throughout the branch company, and the nosy gossiper like Lora had grasped the first-hand news.

"It's work hour. What are you doing here?" Kate rolled her eyes at her.

"It's lunch break. Let's go to have lunch." Lora held Kate's arm.

Kate knew why Lora came to her and she also knew that she had a big mouth and couldn't hide any secret. Though reluctant, Kate had to follow Lora to the company's canteen.

Since she met Brian, Kate had never been to the company's canteen. Looking at the normal canteen, she inexplicably felt that she hadn't been there for a long time.

But her time with Brian should not be measured by the day, but by the years. Kate felt that her experience in these days was even more soul stirring than hers in the last few years..
