Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 149

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 149
“I’m not someone you can just fall in love with,” he said arrogantly but still let her go. He was not giving her a hard time anymore.

The conversation ended just like that, and Catherine sighed in relief. It seemed that she still had to pretend to be deeply in love in the future.

…

9:00 am.

After she arrived at the company, she went directly to the office to find Joseph.

She had been on leave since she was arrested by the police previously and had not been to the company since.

Firstly, she was afraid that her colleagues’ comments would make things hard for Joseph, and she did not want Talton Design’s reputation to be damaged again.

Although the lawsuit was over, she still felt guilty toward Joseph.

“Joseph, I’m really sorry. I haven’t been in the company for long yet I’m always causing trouble for you and the company.”

Catherine was very grateful. She knew that Joseph had been under a lot of pressure for not firing her.

“It’s okay, I’ve always believed in your character.” Joseph smiled and poured her a cup of tea. “Besides, we can consider this a blessing in disguise. I finally entered Melbourne and Summit has always been my biggest competitor, but now, Jeffery is planning to sell Summit.”

Catherine froze. Although she knew that Summit had encountered a big hurdle this time, with Jeffery’s personality, he was not someone who would give up that easily.

If he sold off Summit, the Jones family would lose their standing in Melbourne. Could they accept that?

“You don’t have to be so surprised. James Lennon’s scandal was too big and Summit has a very bad reputation now. No one will dare to cooperate with them for the next two years at least. Many of the upper management staff and designers have also been poached away. Jeffery Jones won’t be able to achieve anything without support.”
