Chapter 78
Catherine pushed away Ethan’s arm. She said flatly, “I see.” Ethan was so confused by her attitude. “What are you doing? I’m fucking confession my love to you! Can’t you be more excited?”
‘I believe there’s love in this world, but I don’t believe it would happen to me.” Catherine walked into the bedroom and put on her coat. When she raised her hand, her warmth was stretched. Her expression changed in pain.
“I won’t love anyone in my life. I can’t make it real with you either.”
However, Ethan didn’t lose faith after hearing it. He had become more interested and followed Catherine. “What a coincidence. I don’t believe in love either. We are a perfect match.”
Two people who didn’t believe in love would fall in love.
Catherine looked at Ethan as if she was looking at an alien.
In the end, she still didn’t agree.
“Don’t you need me to deal with the wound on your shoulder?”
“No, thank you. It’s not a big deal.” It would be a good thing since it hurt, which could make her remember what Anderson had done.
It would make her no longer have any fluke in her heart. Catherine tossed the cheongsam into the garbage can. Then she left Sky Club.
After she was gone, Ethan was in a daze while standing in his bedroom for a while. When the cleaner came in to clean the room and was about to toss the cheongsam again, Ethan suddenly recalled Catherine’s enchanting figure.
“Keep it. Clean dry the cheongsam and send it to me.”
Since that day, Catherine’s life gradually became regular … she jogged after getting up in the morning, made time to visit Sophia and Lincoln once a week, and cooked for herself every day. Occasionally, she would eat in Owen’s apartment.
“What happened to you recently?” Owen didn’t know what had happened in Sky Club.
“Nothing. Why?” Catherine took a sip of the rib soup, closing her eyes in satisfaction. Owen frowned. “Did Anderson Clark bully you again?”
“Nope. I’ve just thought it through. In the previous weeks, my status was not right. From now on, I wouldn’t hide from him. I have my life left only. If he’s capable enough, he should kill me. If not, I’ll be against him to the end.”
She still had her dignity and pride. “By the way, I invested in an idol in Ethan’s company. He’s going to a contest recently. I’ll need to pay more attention.”
Owen was quite confused. He looked at Catherine several times. Seeing that she was pretty well and she had become interested in other things, he guessed that things were becoming better and better. Owen finally relieved a bit.
It’s almost New Year. All the big companies were quite busy. Anderson’s schedule was full. He flew everywhere constantly.
He also deliberately made himself busy. As long as his hands were full, he wouldn’t have time to think what Catherine meant by asking him to let go.
Arthur also sensed that something was wrong with Anderson.
The whole CEO’s office became stressed. “Arthur, what’s wrong with Mr. Clark? I went to his office three times this morning, but I was scolded four times in a row.”
“How would I know?” Arthur answered. Inwardly, he retorted, ‘I was scolded more than you are.”
The young secretary curled her lips and handed a pile of invitation cards to Arthur. “Those were invitations for Mr. Clark, including banquets, seminars, and international conferences. Please send them to him.”
Arthur heaved a deep sigh. Rubbing his face and force a smile, he knocked at Anderson’s office door.
When he walked in, Anderson was standing in front of the French window, lost in thought while looking out of it.
“Excuse me, Mr. Clark. Which ones would you like to attend?” Anderson cast a glance. “None.”
Looking at his darkened face, Arthur believed that if Mr. Clark still couldn’t return to normal, employees in the CEO’s office wouldn’t endure any longer.
While guessing what was in his boss’s mind, Arthur said gingerly, “Miss Scott has joined the crew of Misty 2. Mr. Clark, would you like to visit her?”
“Ask her to play well. Don’t ruin the good character,” said Anderson coldly. Arthur was disappointed, realizing that even Miss Scott wouldn’t delight Mr. Clark.
He also heard that Mr. Clark was unhappy because of Miss Johnson. He recalled that day in the basement, Mr. Clark carried Catherine away.
Miss Isabella Johnson had passed away for so many years. Arthur wondered if the person that Mr. Clark truly cared about would be Catherine.
He pretended to be casual and added, “I heard that Elijah also invited Miss Johnson to visit their filming set. He’s Miss Johnson’s fan and wants her to give him some suggestions.
“I thought that you could also give Elijah some suggestions if you would go, Mr. Clark. After all, this is a project invested by our Clark Group.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Catherine will go there and give him suggestions?”
Arthur nodded. “Yep.”
“How could she give suggestions on the movie I sponsored?” Anderson said crossly. “Make some arrangement. Tell me when she’s going there. I want to see what kind of suggestions she could make.”
“Miss Johnson was the original author, and Elijah is her fan. It’s not out of boundary if he invites her over. But, Mr. Clark, your suggestions are the most important of course. I’ll arrange it now.” Arthur also secretly flattered Anderson.
Anderson nodded, quite satisfied with Arthur’s reaction.
Catherine indeed agreed to have a look at the filing set of Misty 2. However, she wasn’t here for giving suggestions. Instead, she was curious about the set. If it were in the past, she would avoid Isabella. After all, the hypocritical woman sickened her.
Now, she had thought it through … as long as Anderson wouldn’t let go of her, she couldn’t avoid anyone relevant to him. She’d rather do whatever she liked aboveboard.
Elijah was a fan of Catherine’s comics. Now he had known that she was Mr. Clark’s ex-wife and Mr. James’ current girlfriend. He valued her a lot.
She followed Elijah to the filming scene, watching everyone’s performance behind the monitor. When acting with experienced or skilled actors and actresses, Johanna obviously was worse than others.
“Johanna, what are you doing? This is an inferential drama, not a romance. Why are you looking at the actor so obsessively?” The director was a short-tempered man. When he was yelling, he didn’t show any mercy.
Johanna’s agent immediately walked up to the director. “Director, I’m sorry. Johanna is not herself right now. How about let her take a rest first? Johanna will buy everyone milk tea.”
The director’s face was darkened. Seeing that the agent was quite friendly and knowing Johanna joined the crew with the sponsorship, he hadn’t gone too far while speaking. “Let her adjust her mood as soon as possible.”
Johanna looked annoyed after being scolded. She turned around and was about to take a rest. She saw a tall and strong man in front of the monitor. Her eyes lit up.
Mr. Clark came to visit her. She trotted over to the monitor directly. People were coming back and forth beside the monitor. Looking at it, Catherine was chatting with Elijah.
“Look at this clock tower and the hospital. They were all made according to the comics. Aren’t they the same as they are in the comic book? This whole scene was customized according to Misty. They’ll be taken down after the shooting is over. It’s a waste indeed. But to make it the same as the original script, it’s worthy.”
Catherine studied everything carefully all the way, so she knew how attentive the team was. She said casually, “If the second season is also good, we can make it a theme park. There will be the basic data flow of the program and comic fans. If the promotion and publicity would be done well enough, some passers-by would be attracted as well.”
“Anderson, why are you here?” She heard Johanna’s enchanting voice.
Upon hearing the name, Catherine subconsciously turned around.
