Chapter 642
Lola was about to curse at Quinn, but she froze the instant she heard Quinn's question. "You know her?"
"Her father is Ezekiel Clark, right?" Quinn clenched her fists in frustration.
Lola's eyebrows shot up. "What do you have to do with him?"
"So it's them! Her father stole my mother from me. I hate them both!" Quinn was around the same age as Catelyn, but her eyes were filled with resentment when she spoke of Ezekiel.
Lola's interest was instantly piqued.
Catelyn still had not received any reply from Deluxe, even after office hours that Friday.
When Maribel caught on to it, her whole body quivered from laughing too hard, catching the attention of a few managers who practically idolized her. Upon asking why she was laughing borderline hysterically, Maribel dramatically described the way Catelyn eagerly waited for Deluxe's response.
Immediately, the room broke into laughter.
They had used every method possible to try and cooperate with Deluxe, while Catelyn only met up with Philip once, she could not possibly have succeeded in convincing him!
They did not bother suppressing their laughter, and soon, their laughter drifted into Catelyn's office, too.
"Look at how they're cackling! Don't they realize how deranged they look like that?" Frustrated, Jolene glared at the Associate Director office where Maribel was in.
"They can laugh however they want." Catelyn tapped Jolene on the shoulder. "Have you finished the documents I handed to you yesterday?"
"Yeah, I’ll send it to you right away," said Jolene, winking at Catelyn. "By the way, since you and Cedrick Mason have gotten your marriage certificate, when are you going to have a wedding?"
Not expecting the conversation to be shifted in such a direction, Catelyn shook her head. "I don't know. We'll let things run their course, I guess."
"I really look forward to seeing your wedding with him on television throughout the entire city. By then, everyone who's laughing right now would be so sorry that they'll fawn over Maribel instead of you!"
"Wake up. Enough with your daydreaming."
"I'm just telling the truth!" Jolene pouted before helping Catelyn with work.
Before leaving, Jolene handed her sketchbook to Catelyn, and Catelyn pretended as though she was not interested at all.
She could not stand to imagine a relationship between her husband and Edwin.
Jolene shoved the sketchbook into Catelyn's bag with an evil smile. "Take your time to admire it when you're home. I put a lot of effort into making this into a book. Don't let Cedrick Mason see this, though. If he decides to flay me alive, I'll tell him that you're the one who drew it."
"You can say that Joanne drew it!"
T wonder what Joanne has been doing all this time in Natherlands? ' Catelyn thought to herself.
After work, Cedrick came to pick her up as usual.
