Chapter 342
Charles arrived shortly within half an hour after his phone call with Cedrick, followed by the staff in the security department.
When the security department employees saw Catelyn with Cedrick and noticed that she had Cedrick’s jacket, everyone gaped at the sight.
Since the entire building was still in progress with a security upgrade, they could not open the electronic lock until the upgrade was completed.
Cedrick glanced at Catelyn before he gave them the order to destroy the lock on the door. The process of breaking the lock was quick and only took a few minutes, but the entire door would need to be reinstalled the next day.
When Catelyn heard the sound of the lock being disassembled outside, she was overcome by a bad premonition that this would trigger waves of gossip in the office tomorrow.
However, as Cedrick had already given the order, she could not stop them in any way.
Once they exited the building, Cedrick took Catelyn to a restaurant right away. He had noticed her stomach rumbling a few times when they were stuck inside the office. Since she had been working overtime in the office, she must have been starving.
The next day, Catelyn arrived at the office an hour early without having her breakfast to work on the uncompleted data analysis. She managed to complete it and placed the report on Jennifer’s desk before finally heading out for breakfast.
To her bewilderment, she returned to the office after breakfast only to hear rumors of her being stuck in the office with Cedrick going around the entire company. On top of that, the details of the rumor were far more outrageous than the previous rumors concerning her and George. No one knew where the rumor started, so everyone came to ask Catelyn if she had truly spent the night with Cedrick.
There were even people asking if Cedrick had suggested anything to her when they were alone at night.
