Chapter 341 Why else would Catelyn remain in the office to work overtime?
Even if she did not have enough time to compare the data, she could have taken them home to analyze. The only thing she could take away from the situation was that the data analysis had been saved and that she would not have to start over again the next day.
Cedrick looked at her intently before calling Charles. Though the power went out, Cedrick’s phone was fully charged, and he managed to reach Charles shortly after.
It was late at night, and Charles had not been expecting a phone call from Cedrick, so there was a drawl to his voice. “Hello? Master Cedrick?”
Cedrick cut to the chase and asked, “Who was the one who notified everyone about the upgrade in the office’s security system?”
“It may have been the admin department. I haven’t paid much attention to that.” Charles slowly began to snap out from his drowsy state. It was a quiet night, and even though Cedrick’s phone was not on speaker, Catelyn could hear faint shuffles which sounded like Charles was getting out of bed.
Both Charles and Cedrick remained quiet for two seconds when Charles realized that something was wrong. “Master Cedrick, what happened?” he asked hastily. “I’m stuck in the office right now. All the electronic locks have been shut down and are pending for upgrade, so I can’t get out,” he answered. “I’m with Catelyn.” Charles sobered up at this. “What? I’ll contact the security team to let you out right away!”
Silence fell in the room.
Because of the power outage, there was no heater in the empty room, and it grew colder and colder by the minute. Catelyn began to shiver due to the cold, especially with the thin shirt she was wearing All of a sudden, something weighed down on her shoulders. She glanced at the black suit jacket on her shoulder and gazed up.
Cedrick had removed his jacket and given it to her before pulling her into his arms. “You won’t be cold if I hold you.”
