"Fine, I'll go, alright?" Stephanie couldn't stand it anymore: "After I go, I'll have your future son-in-law call and say hello, okay? Will that make you feel better? Will it let you breathe?"
She could see that her mom really cared about this. The discomfort wasn't fake, and these things really made her uncomfortable.
Stephanie was scared into a cold sweat.
Marilyn said with a bitter face, "I won't recover that quickly... let me rest for a while."
After Marilyn took a break and her face looked better, Stephanie let out a sigh of relief.
Then Marilyn urged, "Steph, your mother is fine now. You should get going. I'm afraid Seb might find someone else and won't like you anymore. If I'm gone, you will be all alone in this world. I can't be at ease when I think about these things."
Stephanie felt heartbroken and annoyed by these words, "I got it, I'll go right away. Don't talk about these things again. You'll live a long and healthy life."
Marilyn finally smiled a little, "I hope so. I want to see my little grandkids when you and Seb have children."
Stephanie blinked, not wanting to continue the topic.
She immediately stood up and said, "You rest well, mom. I'll call you as soon as I get there, don't worry."
At the entrance of Skyline Corporation building, Katherine parked her car on the roadside, holding a lunch box and walked into the building, heading straight for the reception desk.
"Could you please inform that I am here to deliver lunch to President Ingram?"
Lunch delivery?
The last time, the young lady who delivered lunch was courteously escorted to the president's office. But this time, it was a different woman!
Upon hearing this, the receptionist smiled, "Please wait a moment, ma'am. I'll inform them."
Frowning, he said, "Who are you, miss? What are you doing here?"
Katherine suddenly returned to reality from the beautiful dreamland.
The receptionist looked puzzled, "Martin... I just informed you."
Martin's face turned serious, "In the future, unless it's Ms. Bishop from last time, no one else should be let through!"
The receptionist, not knowing where she went wrong, quickly agreed, "Yes, Martin. What about this young lady?"
Should she bring her to see the president?
Before the receptionist could finish, she heard her own smiling voice saying, "Hi Martin! I'm Stephanie's sister, Katherine. Steph had something come up, so she asked me to deliver lunch to President Ingram... I really appreciate your help."
