Chapter 732
Catelyn set up the alarm and glanced at Cedrick, only to notice that he was blushing, shocked, she asked, "Cedrick,
are you running a fever? Why do you look so flushed?"
She kicked her shoes off and crawled onto the bed, placing her warm palm on his forehead. As she did, the faint
scent of gardenias she emitted instantly assaulted his senses.
"I think you might have a fever. Hang on, I'll grab the thermometer," she mumbled and reached into the drawer
under the nightstand.
In the end, she frantically put on her sweater and jacket before fleeing from the bedroom. She reached up to touch
her face and was relieved that she herself was not red in the face.
Completely losing the urge to go back to sleep, Cedrick went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. By the time he
went downstairs, Catelyn had just finished her sandwich and was changing her shoes by the porch with traces of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmilk on the corner of her mouth.
Cedrick picked up the car keys. "I'll give you a lift."
"It's fine," Catelyn refused casually. "You still need to send the kids off to school later. It's too troublesome for you to
make the round trip back and forth."
Cedrick narrowed his eyes. "I don't think it's troublesome. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"
"Alright, then." Seeing that he insisted, Catelyn did not object to his offer.
Just before they left, she went into the kitchen and grabbed him a sandwich for him to eat in the car. Cedrick rarely
ate in his car, however, so Catelyn ended up eating it instead.
She did not let Cedrick drop her off in front of the office building and got out of the car when they were a street
away.
After spending much time with him, Catelyn had grown accustomed to Cedrick's mood shifts, so when she noticed
the dark look on his face, she immediately realized that he was upset.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his chin. "I'll call you later at noon when I have the
time."
His rising anger was instantly appeased, and his tone eased. "I can help if you can't settle it."
"Of course! My husband is the best!" she said, giggling, before running toward the building across the street with
documents in hand.
Cedrick watched her go endearingly.
Catelyn had thought that she arrived early, but to her bewilderment, the reporters had arrived even earlier to
ambush her.
They could not find Hunter anywhere and were like sharks that caught the scent of blood when they spotted
Catelyn. The reporters rushed out of all directions and instantly blocked every corner of the road.
The camera shutters flickered and were followed by a series of questions.
"Miss Clark, the spokesperson for VSA Group has pointed out that there's a security breach in the project. Has this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmimpacted the company's reputation in any way? what do you have to say about this?"
"Part of the building seemed to have collapsed yesterday at the construction site, causing severe injury to one of
the workers there. Do you not value the lives of the construction workers there?

"Who will be responsible for the follow-up?"
"Rumor has it that you were transferred from the Franche headquarters to this branch as director, why did you
agree to be transferred when you know that there had been a security breach in VSA Group before? Is there any
under-the-table deal going on?"
"The developer..."
The questions cut through the air like blades, and Catelyn immediately messaged the security team of the building
to come, not intending to answer any questions.
The Public Relations department had already held an emergency press conference the day before, but the
reporters refused to buy any official announcement and clung to any information they could get while the topic was
still the talk of the city.
