Chapter 18 Offending the Bigwig
As soon as Catalina entered the office, she noticed her colleagues seemed very strange.
All the girls in the office, except her, wore heavy makeup and were dressed in beautiful clothes.
Even Emery, who has always been confident about her natural beauty, was putting makeup on herself in her cubicle.
Catalina couldn't help asking, "Emery, why are you all wearing makeup? Is there going to be a ball later?"
Emery put the blush on her face, then stuck her head out of the cubicle, and said, "Didn't you read the notifications in the chat group?"
"No. What's going on?"
She was so upset at Bennett that she didn't have time to read the group message!
"Our president has returned from abroad, and he will take office today! How could you not pay attention to such important news?"
"Well..."
Catalina was confused and shook her head.
"The point is, he's so handsome, and he's the most eligible bachelor. That's what the editor-in-chief said."
Immediately, other colleagues echoed, "Yes, it is said that he is really charming. Besides, he has a good family background."
"Lina, don't waste your time. Let me put on makeup for you! Anyway, you are also single now, and we all have a chance. That's fair competition!"
Emery was about to put makeup on Catalina.
Catalina smiled, stopped Emery who was very enthusiastic with her hand and said, "That's fine, I won't participate in your competition. I'll just watch."
First of all, she was no longer a single woman.
Secondly, no matter how handsome or outstanding the man was, he would not be attractive to her. After all, the man she married was better than the other men in the world.
"Okay, remember what you said. If you regret it, I'll fix you later."
Catalina smiled, ignored them, and got down to work.
In less than half an hour, the editor-in-chief knocked on the door and said, "Hurry up! Ladies and gentlemen, go to the lobby on the first floor and wait in line. The president said on the phone that we must greet him. Everyone must be present, especially the staff of the reporter department."
Catalina thought that the president was pompous. Everyone should stand in line and greet him as if he were the king!
However, after all, she didn't dare to disobey the leader.
Emery tugged her and ran out, saying, "We have to be one step ahead and take a good position. Even if the president is not interested in us, the handsome guy is also pleasing to the eyes."
"I never see you being so active at work."
After Emery's hard work, she did get a good position in the front row.
Just as everyone was divided into two rows, there was a burst of yelling from outside, "The president's cars have arrived!"
Immediately, a line of at least ten vehicles drove toward Sayton Newspaper.
"Wow! These are all luxury cars!"
Emery grabbed Catalina's wrist excitedly and said, "Lina, this president is as rich and powerful as your keeper back then!"
Catalina was curious and couldn't help looking over there.
This style really resembled that of the Shaffer family.
The cars finally stopped at the main entrance.
The senior executives of Sayton Newspaper rushed out to greet the new president, and respectfully opened the door of the first luxury car.
A man dressed in dark gray trousers got out of the car. His legs were long, and he wore a pair of shiny handmade leather boots.
As soon as he got out of the car, the colleagues behind Catalina exclaimed unanimously.
Catalina couldn't see his face at all, because their sight in the first row happened to be blocked by the company's promotional banner on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, the man had a perfect figure.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his manner was elegant. He was standing straight, so even though she couldn't see the man's face, it was not difficult to see that he was indeed an outstanding man with an extraordinary bearing, just as the editor-in-chief described.
Because Emery couldn't see, she was so anxious that she kept leaning forward and backward and said, "Is he handsome? Hey, what does he look like? Come inside!"
As she spoke, the president who had just returned home led his exclusive team and walked in.
After seeing the man's handsome and arrogant face, Catalina...
Damn!
Immediately, this word popped up in her head when she couldn't think straight.
Then she thought that she was so screwed!
Catalina never expected that the most eligible bachelor that was hyped by the editor-in-chief, and the biggest boss turned out to be...
