Cate held her forehead. “How on earth did you find my account?”
She remembered that she did not register her WhatsApp number in the game.
“ I noticed it when you were playing that game on the day we watched a movie,” Shaun said in a low voice. “This is my first time playing games. I used t o think playing games is a waste of life, but now I understand that being in a game with the person I love is pretty romantic too.”
Although they were on a call, Cate got goosebumps from his flirting. She did not know how to continue the conversation.
“Good girl. What time are you getting off work this evening? I’ll pick you up.” Shaun continued flirting with her in a gentle voice.
“I drove myself today.”
“ I know. I’ll ask Hadley to send me there. I’ll wait for you by your car.”
In the end, Cate told him the time.
In the evening.
Cate took her bag and walked into the private elevator.
The elevator stopped on the 25th floor, where Melanie looked at her smugly and was about to enter the elevator.
However, Cate pressed the close doors button straight away, sandwiching Melanie between the doors.
“Cate, are you trying to murder me?” Melanie yelled. She was in a mess from being sandwiched between the doors.
“You think too much. ” Cate pressed the open doors button again and pushed Melanie out. “ Didn’t you see what’s written outside? It says ‘
Director’s Private Elevator’. What right do you have to use this?”
Melanie sneered. “Aren’t you just counting on the identity of a successor that Joel gave you? But now, I’m an important person who’s in charge of Yule Corporation’s future development. You may not know this, but Grandpa has already approved the finance department to assign 12 billion dollars to me in order to develop the joint venture with Campos Corporation. You didn’t expect this, did you? You deliberately chased my father and me out before, so you must not have expected that we’ll be back so soon.”
“I can see that you’ve been trying hard to please Grandpa and Granny at home recently. But Melanie, you should remember that your last name is Yule. Don’t foolishly be a pawn for others. You have to understand this. Once you’re worth nothing to the Campos family, will that playboy, Charlie, still want you? Just like before. Didn’t you complain in the hospital that Charlie hit you when you were dismissed from your job?”
Cate tucked her hair behind her ear while she sneered. “Furthermore, Charlie even tried to flirt with me, his sister-in-law, at the conference room this morning. If you don’t believe me, you can check the security footage yourself.”
After she said that, she released her finger on the open doors button, and the elevator doors closed.
Melanie’s pretty face twisted in anger. She had initially wanted to get off work, but now, she went straight to the security room instead to get this morning’s footage of the conference room. That was when she saw Charlie extending his hand to touch Cate’s face. His movements were flirty.
A trace of anger swept across her eyes. ‘Charlie, you’re such a heartless bastard,’ she thought.
Meanwhile, Cate arrived at the parking lot. Before she made it to her car, she could see Shaun leaning on the front of her sports car. He wore a pair of long white pants and a shirt with blue and white stripes. There was a pair of sunglasses hung a t the front of his shirt. He exuded a dashing and handsome presence. His long legs, especially, were comparable to a top global male model’s legs.
Cate stood there and studied him for a while. She felt like Shaun was getting younger as he aged. People might even believe that he was 25 years old.
“Cathy…”
When Shaun saw her coming, he opened the passenger door immediately.
Cate handed him the car keys and got in the car.
“I can do this myself.”
As half of his body shadowed hers, she was overwhelmed by the cool, musky scent of a man that had a hint of intimacy to it. Cate raised her head awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, the roof of the sports car was very low.
Shaun was directly above her head. So when she raised her head, he was lowering his body, and her juicy lips just so happened to brush his thin lips.
The air went still.
Shaun’s throat tightened. He felt as if sparks were thrown into a bunch of firewood and ignited a flame.
He stared at her. Looking closely, he realized that Cate had very good skin. She did not have a pore nor a pimple. Yet under his gaze, a pink layer o f hue gradually tainted her milky-white skin, making her look even more stunning.
“Go away.” Cate pushed him away.
“I’ll go away after another kiss.” Shaun held his body still. Although it was just a light kiss, he could not forget the taste of it. It felt like he was finally liberated after tens of years of being a celibate.
“What do you mean by ‘another’? That was just an accidental touch. ” Cate retorted awkwardly.
“I don’t think so.” There was a smile in Shaun’s eyes. “I won’t go if we don’t kiss.”
“Shaun.” Cate gritted her teeth. She never thought he would be so shameless.
“Oh, who is that over there?” Shaun suddenly pointed out of the window in surprise.
Cate immediately looked over, only to find that there was nothing at all. It was at that moment she realized she was tricked. However, at that moment, Shaun’s thin lips swooped down and landed on her lips. His lips stayed there for two to three seconds before he withdrew quickly. He was
all smiles and smug, like a cat who had stolen a fish.
She was speechless.
He had only broken up with Sarah not long ago, yet he made it seem as if he had not kissed a woman in a long time.
As soon as Shaun got in the driver’s seat, he started the car and drove off. “Babe, what do you think of Yule Corporation today?”
“Nothing much.” Cate’s eyebrows moved. “ Yule Corporation and Campos Corporation have already decided to start a joint venture, and a lot of money has been invested. They are very ambitious.
I think the Campos family intends to start the largest finance company in Australia. I’m afraid the Lyons Corporation’s finance subsidiaries might be pushed aside.”
“Blame it all on my disappointing Second Uncle. The Lyons family has not been making any progress i n the finance sector these years.”
Shaun put on his sunglasses. “But… The Yule family isn’t well versed in finance at all. Aren’t you afraid that Yule Corporation will become the Campos family’s pawn if you enter the finance sector so rashly?”
“I had the same thoughts too. But the shareholders have already had a taste of sweet success during their previous collaboration with Campos Corporation on e-commerce. Now, they are fooled and filled with ambition. Melanie even convinced m y grandpa to come out of retirement.”
Cate sighed. She had wasted so much energy going against Sarah for the past few weeks that it made Melanie and her father resurface again.
“Although Old Master Yule has retired for many years, he still has some prestige in the Yule family, ” Shaun said. “Your cousin isn’t that simple.
If Old Master Yule returns, it’ll be very troublesome. According to my grandpa, Old Master Yule is… slightly stubborn, foolish, and haughty. Strictly speaking, he’s someone who thinks he’s great but not that capable in reality. However, no one can say that about him.”
Cate was ashamed. As expected, the older generation’s comments were straightforward and precise. “What kind of person do you think Charlie is?”
“He’s ambitious, and he can do whatever it takes to reach his goal. According to my understanding of the Campos family’s usual tactics, they’re not sincere in supporting Yule Corporation. They approached Yule Corporation these years because they think they can reap profits from them. Maybe the joint venture this time will suck Yule Corporation dry.”
Shaun rapped the steering wheel lightly and said, “ Only when he sucks Yule Corporation dry can he compete with the Lyons family without holding back.”
Cate was so shocked that she remained silent for a while.
Upon noticing her silence, Shaun thought she was worried. Hence, he chuckled and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Although you’re Yule Corporation’s successor, it only counts when Yule Corporation is in your hands. Your last name is Cox after all. In the eyes of the two stubborn elderly of the Yule family, you’re still different compared to Melanie and Damien, whom they’ve brought up. ”
“I know. That’s why I’m not too bothered about it. Since my grandpa is insistent on collaborating with the Campos family, then I won’t meddle in their affairs, lest I lose out on both sides.” Cate shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “To be honest, I don’ t have any attachments to the Yule family and Yule Corporation.”
“Mm, you don’t have to care much about Yule Corporation. Since you’ll be my wife in the future, and the whole of Lyons Corporation will be yours. ” Shaun suddenly grabbed her hand. “You have Australia’s wealthiest man in your hands.”
