“What do you mean by this?” Shaun held the card with two fingers and sneered with his eyes. “You became the chairwoman today and have money now, so you want to clear your relationship with me?”
He spoke and fiercely nearly snapped the card in two. “Dream on. You signed the papers. No matter what position you have, you’ll have to resign to stay with me obediently.”
“Can’t you wait for me to finish…?” Cate looked at the card and stamped her feet in anger. “I want to pay back what I owe you and date you on equal footing. I don’t want to be your woman. I want to be your girlfriend in every sense of the word.”
“What does that mean?” Shaun frowned, not understanding.
Cate took a deep breath. “I’ve always felt like I was inferior because we signed the contract and you helped me with the lawsuit. I’m like your lover and servant, and I always have to be careful in front of you. I can’t offend you either.
“I hate that. If we’re together, I hope that we can be like an ordinary couple.”
“Since when did I treat you like a servant? You’ve also offended me plenty of times already.” Shaun stared at her. He could not understand the woman’s thoughts. “You want to give me money so you don’t have to cook for me anymore, don’t you?”
“…”
Cate was completely speechless. “Let me rephrase. I’m using this 500 million to tear up the previous marital contract agreement. I want to be your formal girlfriend. If I want to cook, I’ll cook, and if I don’t want to cook, I won’t. I’ll get angry if I want to get angry, and I’ll fight with you if I want to fight. I won’t hold back anymore.”
Shaun’s chest heaved with anger. He wanted to throw the card directly into the fire to let it burn.
She suddenly jumped up and kissed him on the lips. Hugging his neck, she said seriously, “Shaunny, I don’t know if you’ve ever dated a girl before, but this is what normal couples are like. You’ll be both my trash can and my honey pot. I love you, so I want to love you equally.”
The woman’s mouth was suddenly as sweet as honey.
Shaun’s anger suddenly dissipated. Looking at her beautiful little face, he hesitated before saying, “The agreement can be torn up, but don’t give me the money. You’re my woman. If I charge you for the lawsuit, how can I call myself a man?”
“But…”
“Shut up. Say one more word and I’ll teach you a lesson.” Shaun slapped her bottom.
Cate’s little face immediately turned red as she stomped her foot. “You hoodlum.”
“How am I a hoodlum? You’re the one who wants us to be like normal couples. Normal couples are like this.”
Shaun smiled wickedly.
Cate was stunned and suddenly glared at him. “You seem very knowledgeable. You must be very experienced. I’m sure you’ve dated plenty of times before.”
Shaun’s handsome face stiffened, and his eyes turned away. “Don’t think nonsense.”
“No, answer me.” Cate saw his expression and felt sour. She turned off the stove and pouted angrily. “If you don’t answer me, I won’t cook dumplings for you.”
“I’ve only dated once.” Shaun did not expect her to be so jealous and was speechless.
“Do you still have some feelings for her? Your face when you mention her is strange.”
Cate chatted on. Her happy mood dissipated immediately.
“She’s dead.” Shaun frowned.
Cate froze, suddenly not knowing what to say. “I’m sorry.”
“Stop bringing up the past. Didn’t you also date Nathan Lowe before?” Shaun reminded gloomily.
Cate could not say anything and simply turned on the stove again obediently.
Shaun stuffed the card back into her pocket and went out.
Only in hindsight did Cate remember that she had asked him to cut the ingredients but he simply left. Scoundrel! Slacker!
After dinner, Cate pestered him to take out the agreement. Shaun could not win against her and could only take it out.
“You can tear it up, but you still can’t contact anyone from the opposite sex like Wesley Sanderson or Nathan Lowe. You have to come home on time too. You’re not allowed to stay out late,” Shaun reminded calmly, “Also, you’re not allowed to leave me.”
“Yes, yes, I know already. You’re so handsome. How would I be willing to leave you? There’s a solid foundation of love between us now.”
Cate took the initiative to sit on his lap and kiss him.
Shaun’s mood was lifted, and he gave her the contract.
Cate burned the agreement, and the large stone that had been weighing on her heart seemed to have finally lifted.
The whole night, she twittered in front of him.
Shaun also felt that he was much more lively now. Seeing her like this, he suddenly felt that it really did not matter if the agreement was burnt.
…
In the next two days that Cate went to the company, none of the executives came to see her. No one reported anything about the company to her either.
Most of what she learned came from Kacey’s mouth. No one in the company seemed to take her seriously as the chairwoman.
At noon, she went to the cafeteria for lunch, but even after waiting for 20 minutes in the private room, no one served the food.
Kacey went to talk to the person in charge of the cafeteria and came back in about five minutes, huffing angrily. “They’re too much. Those dishes were clearly ordered by you, but they ended up in Jeffery Cox and General Manager Chaplin’s room next door.”
“They’re next door?” Cate narrowed her eyes.
“Yes,” Kacey said angrily, “The people in the cafeteria are all fluttering around them.”
Cate’s mood was complicated. She did not expect that Jeffery had even won over the cafeteria staff.
“Forget it, I won’t eat anymore. Go back upstairs and order take-out.”
Cate stood up and went out. She then saw Rosabella standing by the door with a mocking expression. “Chairwoman Cox, it seems that being a chairwoman isn’t that fun. You came to the company to eat but there’s not a single person here to greet you, so you have to order take-out. You poor thing.”
Cate gave Elle a look.
Without a word, Elle went up and slapped Rosabella across the face, causing her cheek to immediately swell up.
“Cate Cox, you’re insane!” Rosabella screamed and subconsciously rushed to counterattack.
Elle then gave another slap to the other side of her face, causing Rosabella to be unable to say anything from the pain.
She glared viciously at Cate but did not dare to step forward again.
Cate grinned. “I can even hit Jeffery, much less you. If you don’t watch your words next time, I’ll beat you until you learn your lesson.”
Then, she pushed Rosabella to the side and walked away while smiling.
Rosabella held her cheeks, hatred burning in her eyes.
‘Cate Cox, just wait and see. I’ll kill you personally one day.’
…
3:00 p.m.
On the 17th floor of the building, a meeting was being held.
The general manager, Larry Chaplin, sat at the head of the table, followed by the senior management of Hudson.
Deputy Manager Wolfe said, “General Manager Chaplin, Chairwoman Cox just took over the position. Is it really okay not to call her over for the first weekly meeting?”
“Who does she think she is?” Larry said contemptuously, “She’s just a silly little girl who doesn’t know sh*t. Alright, let’s start the meeting. Manager Cox, has the decoration company for the property development project been finalized?”
Rosabella put on a mask while enduring the pain on her face. “Not yet. The prices offered by those companies are too high. I’m thinking that we can ask the construction team to handle it ourselves. I recently drafted a design for everyone to see.”
Then, she handed the thick stack of designs over.
The executives were full of praise.
“These designs are very creative. They’re high-end and reserved, but not overly luxurious. They’re very tasteful.”
