Chapter 345
Winnie’s tone was gentle, but Catelyn could not decide what she meant with her question.” I’m fine. The
power just went off, and we got stuck because the electronic lock wouldn’t open. I’m alright now.”
“That’s good. Mister Mason seems to trust you, so work hard,” remarked Winnie before walking off.
Catelyn sighed a long breath of relief after Winnie was gone.
Noticing how nervous she had been, George consoled her, “You’re new here, but our director has always
been like that. She might seem difficult to please, but she’s actually very nice. Don’t feel pressured, and
just focus on your own tasks.” Catelyn nodded with a smile. “I will.” ‘Seemingly hard to please? Well, I’m
just an employee here. I won’t actually have to report directly to the Director, so whatever,’mused Catelyn
to herself. Once everyone left, the office returned to silence. Perhaps the punishment Cedrick had given
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas far too severe, no one else dared to mention the event of the night before again. Catelyn,
meanwhile, was still confused. If the notices were distributed to everyone’s desk, where was hers?
Where had it gone? She was sure that apart from normal documents, she had not seen anything else on
her desk the next day. Samantha returned to the office just after the conflict had come to an end. She
pulled Catelyn to the side secretively and glanced at her timidly. “Catelyn, um… I heard what happened.
I’m sorry. The admin department did come to distribute the notices the day before yesterday. I just
thought that I’d tell you about it the next day and threw it away, then I was too occupied asking you about
George that I forgot to tell you. I’m sorry for causing you to stay the night here with Master Cedrick.”
Catelyn studied the panicked expression on Samantha’s face wordlessly.
Flustered, Samantha added, “You don’t believe me, do you? I swear, I just forgot to tell you! Don’t be
mad at me, okay? How about I just stay in the office for tonight to make it up to you?”
“Alright, I’m not mad at you.” Catelyn tapped her on the shoulder and added, “Don’t be so careless next
time. The data analysis you submitted to Jennifer also had a lot of issues. It’s a good thing that she is
gone now, or we’re going to suffer a lot more from now on.”
Samantha sighed a breath of relief and beamed at Catelyn. “As long as you’re not mad at me. It’s a
dream to be able to spend the night with Mister Cedrick, though. It’s a shame I don’t have that kind of
luck. Hey, how about I buy you dinner tonight?”.
“It’s fine.” Catelyn gave her that smile that lacked sincerity. Before Samantha could say anything else,
she pointed at her watch. “It’s getting late, so I should get back to work.”
Samantha nodded and smirked when Catelyn turned her back.
Catelyn returned to her post, and her heart sank when her previous theory was proven.
Samantha was determined to start her career in Mason Group and graduated as a postgraduate student,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmso she could not have made mistakes in such simple data analysis.
On the day when Jennifer came to collect the report, Samantha, who had never been late before, arrived
late because she knew that the report would be rejected due to the error in the analysis
Samantha timed it so that she would leave before Jennifer came back with the report, and in the end,
Jennifer was left with Catelyn to vent her frustration. Since Jennifer had not liked Catelyn to begin with,
she picked on her and demanded that she re-do the report.
Catelyn could only work overtime when the security system in the office was upgraded. Not only would
she be stuck in the office for the night, but she might not be able to complete the task Jennifer handed to
her and would take the blame for it.
As a result, Jennifer would only resent her even more.
Catelyn smiled bitterly. She had entered Mason Group at the same time as Samantha did, and she just
could not figure out what she had done for Samantha to put together a scheme like that.
