The green veins on Cathy’s forehead stood out.
She shot a glare at Aaron and let him shut up. She tried to answer Nick’s question with a calm tone, “Mr. Brown asked me to deal with something in New York, you and Aaron come back tomorrow morning first. I would sort out the materials for the business trip these days and send them to you in the evening. You can keep an eye on everything in the department and call me whenever you have any questions.”
Nick looked serious, and he immediately nodded, “no problem, Cathy, you have a good rest and I would arrange all the things well.”
Cathy smiled and nodded.
She appreciated Nick’s talent. Although he wasn’t very flexible and intelligent as Aaron, he was honest. The task that she assigned him, unless he couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t be with any problems generally.
Aaron leaned over, and grinned at her, “Cathy, what should I do?”
“You?” Cathy raised her eyebrows, and pretended to ponder silently for a while. Then she blinked the eyes, and gave him a very kind smile, “as I am not in the company, the department would be very busy. I know you are intelligent and you are always more efficient than others. Thus, the work of taking out the garbage, mopping the floor, and ordering coffee and snacks for colleagues... they are all up to you. It’s an important work. You must do it well.”
The smile on the face of Aaron suddenly disappeared, and he looked at her pitifully. He seemed to cry but without tears, “... Yes, Cathy, I would do well, but you couldn’t stay here until next year, because my year-end assessment is still up to you”
Cathy twitched her mouth. “...”
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t be here until next year.” It was a good time to tease her and he never forgot to tease her. Aaron was getting less and less adorable.
Tyrone looked at them, and he did not interrupt. His hands inserted in the pants pocket quietly and standing on the side, he looked composed with some kind of casual.
Aaron suddenly looked at him, raising his eyebrows and the corner of the lips, “Tyrone, Cathy would be here alone, you must take good care of our manager.”
Then a slap heavy fell on Tyrone’s shoulder. Cathy looked at Aaron with a fake smile, “the elder sister, I am in good health, and I don’t need other people to take care of me.”
Tyrone looked at Cathy’s pale face and raised the corner of his lips, “I would take care of her certainly, so you don’t need to worry about her. I think she needs some rest. Let’s go out and talk.” He answered Aaron.
Cathy, “...”
...
Because Tyrone was here, Aaron and Nick did not stay long. They packed up things and left.
Cathy finally could vent anger after enduring for a long time. Throwing off the quilt and getting out of bed to wear shoes, she walked into Tyrone. Not waiting for him to explain, she pulled his clothes down, and questioned Tyrone with cold face, “who let you call Mr. Brown? How could you make a decision for me? Do you know how much trouble you’ve got me into?”
Bastard!
