My Sweetheart novel Chapter 284

“Besides, isn’t Mr Bertie working on Booth Group‘s affairs? Wasn’t my grandpa training you to become his successor?” Kathy asked calmly.

Bertie Marshall raised his eyebrows, “Wow, I didn’t know that you are paying so much attention on me. Indeed, your grandfather had the intention. But then, he called you back. It seemed like I had to give way.”

“Besides, we would be married if I was in charge of Booth Group.

“You’re crazy”. Kathy said coldly.

“Everything is possible.” Bertie laughed heartily and said.

After leaving the building, Kathy was confused.

Could all of this mess be prevented if she hadn’t come to Country B?

Even if she had a second chance, she would still come to Country B as she was worried about her grandfather’s health.

Returning to the the Booth family, Kathy reported her job on that day to her grandfather.

She hesitated upon speaking when she thought about what Bertie said.

Zack Booth figured out what Kathy was thinking, “Is there anything you want to tell grandpa?” he frowned and asked.

Kathy shook her head as she refused to believe what Bertie had told her.

Besides, grandpa might be emotional again if she mentioned about Booth Group

“Rest well, grandpa.”

As she left the room, she had a phone call from Joseph.

“Are you back home?”

“Yes, I’m at the Booth family.”

Kathy looked at her watch, it was 6 o’clock.

“You don’t have to wait for me tonight, I’ll be home late.”

“Hmm, what are you busy about?” asked Kathy.

“I have a transnational meeting to attend to later.”

“Okay then, don’t forget to have your dinner. I’ll wait for you if it’s not too late.”

As Kathy hung the phone, Bertie appeared behind her.

It seemed like she hadn’t adapted to live together with Bertie.

“It’s late now, why don’t we cook together so that everyone can have their meals on time.”

Kathy frowned as the maid that went on a vacation has not returned yet.

If that continued, wouldn’t she have to cook with Bertie every day?

Kathy didn’t mind cooking for everyone; she just hated the feeling when she was with Bertie.

As if she knew what Kathy was thinking, “It’s ok if you don’t want to, I was just asking. I can cook by myself if you’re not hungry.” said Bertie.

“I’ll help”, said Kathy.

Bertie smiled.

Kathy then realized that Jennifer Booth had a dinner plan only when they had finished preparing dinner.

Kathy brought porridge to her grandpa as he could only have soft food. After that, it was only her and Bertie by the dinner table.

“How was your time in the lab today?” asked Bertie.

“Well, it was fine.” answered Kathy.

She was adapting well. Besides, the intensity of her work wasn’t high today, that’s why she wasn’t that tired.

“I’ll be working there recently, feel free to call me if you need anything.”

“Why was Edith Wesley selected for this project?” Kathy suddenly asked.

Edith was married to the famous chief, Conor Nicholson. He even started a company for her.

But the company wasn’t very well known since it was a newly established company.

“Edith’s company is also an investor in the drug HIOD. You should know that Booth Group requires her research and development skills as she has been a well-known professor in the medical field.” Bertie said.

Kathy wasn’t surprised by what Bertie said.

Thinking about how Edith had set her up in the past, Kathy felt uncomfortable about working with Edith.

“You have a problem with her?” Bertie asked as he sensed something wasn’t right.

“Yes, there are some conflicts between us.” answered Kathy.

Joseph had kicked her out of City N three months ago and forbade her from returning. Edith must be furious because of that.
