Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 159

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 159
“Don’t worry, I’ll go down and arrange for it immediately.”

…

Catherine waited downstairs for half an hour before someone took her to the manager—Mr. Frank’s office.

Frank poured her a cup of tea. When they sat down, his phone suddenly rang.

He apologized and said, “Ms. Jones, something urgent came up in the Engineering Department. Please wait a little longer.”

Catherine could do nothing but nod.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, it was almost 5:30 p.m.. She secretly became worried. It seemed she would be going back late again today.

Lest Shaun doubted her again, she took the initiative to call him. “I might be back late today. I’m still waiting for a client.”

Shaun was quite satisfied that she would take the initiative to report her schedule, but he became inexplicably displeased that his woman had to wait for someone else. “Where are you?”

“At Hudson Corporation.”

Shaun looked outside. It seemed he was not far from Hudson. “Oh.”

Catherine realized that he did not intend to ask anything further and ended the call after a few words.

Before long, a man in a black suit came in. “Hello, are you Ms. Jones? Mr. Frank isn’t available now, so let me take you to the field to have a look at the houses. This is my name card.”

Catherine looked at the business card. His name was Hector Whitaker.

“Can we go into the houses already?” Catherine found it strange.

“One of them has already been roofed and just lacks an external wall, so we can go in and have a look.” Hector laughed. “The company attaches great importance to these houses. The designing companies that come usually do their measurements on-site.”

Catherine’s heart was slightly moved. “Are there other designing companies coming?”

“Yes, there’s another company our manager knows of.”

The two chatted while walking out. Catherine tried getting more information about the rival company from Hector and had unknowingly walked to the back of the site.
