Chapter 176 “It must’ve happened by accident. Hurry and wipe it off! It’ll be troublesome if someone sees
it later! If you don’t believe me, I can give you a mirror so you’ll see it,” said Catelyn as she hurriedly took
out a pocket mirror from her bag. Cedrick stopped her hand while she was rummaging through her bag.
He lowered his voice and glanced at her with a wicked smile. “Since you got it on me, you should be the
one erasing
it.”
They were in the corridor. Although Charles Peterson and this Mister Lewis had not arrived yet, Catelyn
looked around subconsciously and muttered, “You’re too tall, it’s inconvenient!” Suddenly, Cedrick
lowered his tall frame slightly. His handsome face was suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and his
sexy Adam’s apple could be seen bobbing. “There you go,” said Cedrick. Catelyn was startled. “You…”

pretended to be indifferent. “Never mind, forget it…” As he spoke, he stood back up straight as if he did
not care. The flustered Catelyn, however, hurriedly grabbed his neck and pulled him back down.
“No, wait, I’ll wipe it!”
Due to her excessive force, the distance between the two was instantly closed. They were so close that
Catelyn could almost see the flawless pores on his face.
Cedrick tried to conceal his chuckle. “Wipe it clean,” he told her.
Catelyn swallowed her pride and quickly reached out to wipe the stain on his neckline. The lipstick mark
on the white shirt could not be easily rid of, but she managed to make the red stain lighter, making it
seem less like an actual lipstick mark. At this moment, Mister Lewis, a man in his late fifties, had just
come out of the conference room.
At a glance, he saw Cedrick and Catelyn being very close to each other. Their gestures were intimate, so
much so that he was stunned.
Ah, the taste of youth! Alas, he was an old man, unable to keep up anymore.
Mister Lewis had met Maia before, but it was many years ago. Seeing Cedrick and Catelyn being this
close, in addition to Catelyn looking so similar to Maia, it was natural that he almost mistook her for Maia.
Catelyn caught a glimpse of Mister Lewis coming out from the corner of her eyes. She hurriedly released
Cedrick and said, “I’m done. You can go for your dinner now.”
“Together,” said Cedrick. He then pulled Catelyn into the elevator with him, while Mister Lewis followed
closely.
Catelyn bit the bullet and greeted him.

“Hello, Miss Clark” Mister Lewis smiled back at her. This lady was none other than the missy of the Clark
family, Cedrick’s fiancee!
Catelyn grinned, but she was burning with anger within. She had told Cedrick she did not want to come,
yet he insisted that she came!
It did not seem to be a good time to talk about her request for an advanced salary, and she even had to
keep an eye on Mister Lewis. Catelyn glanced at Cedrick hatefully. The more she thought about it, the
more depressed she became.
Cedrick took a step sideways and looked back at Catelyn’s gaze. Catelyn hurriedly looked away, her
heart beating like a drum.
Cedrick’s eyes seemed to smile ever so faintly.
Cedrick was already very good-looking, but with that smile, his stern aura was immediately softened,
despite his tough, masculine demeanor at the same time. Mister Lewis felt like he was witnessing a
subtle interaction between lovers.
