Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 24

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 24
Of course, Chase dared not voice out his opinion. “I know the person in charge of the center quite well. Should I just pull some strings to give her company the project? As far as I know, many other big companies, Summit included, are participating in the bidding too. It’s a fierce competition.”

“There’s no need for that. The chance is already presented to her. If she fails to acquire the project, it simply means that she’s not capable. Just ensure it’s a fair competition.”

Chase was impressed. This man really showed no mercy even to his own wife. “Right, I’ll do as you say.”

Five minutes later, Catherine returned with a bag of streaky pork. “It’s sorted,” he said casually.

She appeared startled. Was that all it took? This uncle of Ethan must be a powerful man.

“Thank you,” she said sincerely.

The corners of his lips curled into a smile. “Now, let’s head home for roast pork.”

A look of mock surprise washed over her face. “I wasn’t going to make that. I’m thinking of making pork and potatoes stew.”

“…”

He was speechless.

His face changed as a whole range of emotions flashed across it. “Pfft.” She chuckled. “I’m messing with you. I’m planning to make roast pork.”

“Catherine Jones,” he enunciated each word carefully. How dare this woman tease him?! Was she taking advantage of him after he displayed a hint of kindness?

Upon realizing he was getting upset, she quickly stuck out her tongue and said in a playful manner, “Is it that difficult to admit you like roast pork? There’s no shame in admitting one’s guilty pleasure.”

He gave a snort of disdain.

She questioned with a grin, “Do you know what I like to eat?”

“Cat food,” he said.

“…”

She did not know what to say.
