Chapter 331 “They… They can’t accept it yet. Trust me, give me some time. I can convince them.” George panicked and grabbed Catelyn’s hands. His heart was racing just at the thought of it. George then promised earnestly, “To me, you are the best. I have fallen for you since the first time we met. However, you were still with BrightGene Group back then. I knew that it was not time yet, but now… Everything has fallen into place. Can you give me a chance and allow me to take care of you and Miles, okay?”
Their eyes interlocked. Catelyn could see her own reflection in his eyes.
She believed he was being serious.
However, she also believed that she was a problem magnet for now. She had a lot of problems to solve, and whoever hooked up with her would be unfortunate too. She did not want to involve any other people. Furthermore… She might leave Mason Group very soon.
“I am sorry, George, we can be friends.” Catelyn slowly pulled her hands out of his, placed two red bills on the table, turned, and walked away. If she could not answer him, then she should not keep his hopes up. The breeze kissed her face when she stepped out of the Italean restaurant. Her flowy hair waved by the wind by her ears. She felt refreshed when her phone rang.
She saw Cedrick’s name on the caller, and her pupils constricted slightly. Other than nervousness, she felt a little bit of anticipation. They did not contact each other after that unpleasant day in the car. He went outstation for work, and she joined the company. They did not cross paths, but now… Was he back in the country? Catelyn bit her lower lip, and once she was certain that her voice sounded normal again, she picked up the phone. Before she could say hello, she heard his cold voice. “I am about 50 meters in the street to your right. Come over.”
Her chest full of enthusiasm was immediately dampened.
Catelyn’s expression was stiff too.
