Chapter 173 The previous receptionist had the thought of pleasing certain celebrities and brought them
to the CEO’s office, and that receptionist ended up getting fired for it. Just as Catelyn was thinking about
giving Cedrick a call, she saw Charles walking in through the door. Seeing Catelyn being stared at by the
security guard, Charles quickly stepped forward and asked the receptionist, “What’s going on?”
The receptionist suddenly became very respectful with Charles around.
“Mister Peterson, Miss Clark wanted to see Master Cedrick, but she didn’t have an appointment set up
with him.” “I know this lady. I’ll take her up,” said Charles. He was pleasantly surprised to see Catelyn.
Was she not the reason Cedrick was in a bad mood recently?
Since she was here, how could he not bring her up to him? Charles smiled and greeted Catelyn, “Long

under the table while he played cards with Cedrick. Catelyn had a look of embarrassment when she
recalled this and gave Charles a small nod of greeting awkwardly. The receptionist hesitated a little. “But
Master Cedrick…” “I’ll bear all the responsibilities for her,” said Charles as he waved his hand
indifferently and led Catelyn to the top floor. Charles bet that Cedrick would not blame him when he saw
him with Catelyn; he would be very happy instead.
The receptionist did not dare to argue with Charles. After all, he was Cedrick’s confidant.
Catelyn followed Charles to the CEO’s office, and during the little trip, she had made up her mind that
she had to be nice to Cedrick.
If she could get him to agree to prepay her salary in advance, that would be the best scenario. However,
Cedrick was not in the office. He was having a meeting with a business partner in the conference room.
Catelyn was not in a hurry and waited patiently for him. In the meantime, she took out a pencil and
studied the design of the villa garden, cracking her head to see if it could be improved any further.
As Cedrick finished his meeting and returned to the office, he saw Catelyn lying by the side of the coffee
table in the corner. A design draft was spread out on the coffee table, and she was studying it intently.
She wore light blue business attire. The cuffs were pulled up to her elbows, revealing her small forearm
like a tender root.
Catelyn’s long hair loosely cascaded around her form as she quietly stared at the draft, her frowning
brows stretched out as she seemed immensely focused. The warm afternoon light shimmered on her
face, making her look particularly intellectual and charming Catelyn was anxious at first, knowing that

As Catelyn finished writing her last comment on the draft, she felt someone staring at her. She turned her
head and saw Cedrick. “Master Cedrick?” She quickly stood up. Cedrick returned to his usual aloof
expression. He strode into the office, his feet clad with his shiny leather shoes, and walked toward the
sofa. He sat down gracefully, taking off his suit jacket. The dark belt buckle he wore was very eye-
catching. “I’ve heard from Charles that your garden design drawings have been revised?” asked Cedrick.
“Yes, please take a look,” said Catelyn as she handed him the drawings while explaining the revisions.
“It’s all changed according to your requirements, mainly in these two places…” Cedrick agreed with her
revised points and pointed to certain parts of the drawing. “Add a pool area here. Connect it with the
water conservancy system so it can water the nearby flowers and plants as well.”
