Can't Help Falling In Love

Chapter 121 The Company's Past



The next day, Lily's face didn't look as bad as last night, but her swollen eyes were still not very beautiful.

She was still a little angry with Kate. She angrily placed the toasted fish in front of her. Kate felt cold on her back and looked up at Lily. Was this girl treating her as a toasted fish

After breakfast, Kate went to work with Brian. Lily's eyes were swollen and she was too embarrassed to go out. So she could only stay at home, being depressed.

On her way to the company, Kate suddenly saw Anna, who she hadn't seen for a long time. She was simply sitting next to the window of a cafe, and opposite her, there seemed to be a person sitting on the other side. Kate was a little stunned.

The cafe was on the side of the road. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. As the car drove, Kate gradually saw the person sitting opposite to Anna

"Vicky!

Why? Why did Vicky have coffee with Anna? What were they talking about?

Did Anna tell Vicky everything

Kate's heart raced.

However, even if Vicky knew about this, it wouldn't do her any good. Maybe it was just a gathering of her two good friends. Kate patted her chest to calm herself down.

She was not afraid of gossip about her relationship with Brian because they did get married. She was afraid that it would get worse if her mother knew it.

No, it couldn't be.. Kate muttered.

Hearing this, Brian turned around and frowned: "what's wrong?"

"Ah.. Nothing. Hahaha... " On hearing this, Kate came to her sense and laughed, but she didn't explain anything.

Hearing that, Brian frowned, but said nothing.

When she arrived at the company, Kate hoped that she had seen it wrong and that Vicky was working in the Secretary office. This way, she could be relieved. But when she returned to the Secretary office, she saw that Vicky's position was empty.

Vicky didn't come to work today.

"Where is Vicky? Didn't she come today?" Kate asked Lea with a big smile.

"I heard that Vicky's baby got sick, so she asked for half a day's leave," Lea answered

"Okay!" Kate nodded stiffly.

"What's wrong? You look a little weird." Lea looked at Kate with a suspicious look, Kate regained her composure and said with a smile, "nothing. I'm just surprised. I didn't expect that Vicky would also ask for leave. I thought only casual people like me would skip work."

Without any doubt, Lea smiled and said, "you're so great that you won't be fired by our boss. If we dare to ask for leave so often, we'll definitely be fired."

Kate was in a cold sweat. It seemed that she really had a lot of privileges.

Back to her room, she kept feeling uneasy.

"Miss Lesbian, this is the team responsible for the construction of the villa. You contact their captains. According to your requirements, the designers have draft designs and sent them to your email." Jacob put a pile of documents in front of Kate.

Kate was shocked.

"Look carefully and work hard." Jacob smiled and suddenly leaned to Kate's ear and whispered, "Oh, right. You don't need to pack lunch for boss. he is going out." Then he turned around and left.

Was Brian going out? Where is he going? Kate was inevitably gossiping in her heart, but she couldn't help knocking herself on the head. He was a CEO, and there were a lot of social engagements. How could she care about where he went.

After Jacob left, Kate began to look at that pile of documents. Although she was only a nominal supervisor, she still had a lot of things to do, mainly looking at the documents and following the project progress. There were a lot of materials. For the first time, Kate found that setting up a resort was quite troublesome and involved many parties. But now the construction was just started, and there would be more and more things to be done.

The busy work made Kate unable to think about anything else. She didn't come back to her senses until noon. This time, she went to the company's restaurant with Lea and Caro.

It had been a long time since the last time for Kate to have lunch here. She scanned the restaurant and didn't see Lora. She were not working there anymore. Thinking of Lora, Kate thought she hadn't contacted her for a long time.

The secretaries of CEO's secretarial room were in a separate box which completely blocked the crowds outside. Seeing Kate looking around, Lea smiled: "are you looking for your friend who works in the restaurant?"

"Yes, I haven't seen her for a long time." Kate replied.

"I haven't seen her for a long time. Maybe she was transferred." Said Lea.

Kate nodded and said, "Okay, let's have dinner first."

Caro adjusted her glasses, looked at Kate and asked, "Kate, how did you know the little princess? I remember that the little princess is self-willed and arrogant. She seldom makes friends with others except he two brothers."

"We are all students in Z University. I got to know her by chance. her is my junior sister," Kate smiled and asked in confusion: "how do you know the little princess so well?" Caro smiled and said, "I've worked in the CEO's secretary office before he took office. When I first met this little princess, she was only ten years old. It had been eight years.

Kate looked at Caro with great interest. Caro continued, "at that time, the company was just in the beginning of its development. The staff were so busy that sometimes they even didn't have time to sleep. At that time, the CEO had just reached adulthood. Many people didn't comply with his jurisdiction. And at that time, the Li group was not that powerful, and in Z city it could only be regarded as a middle-class company.'

Kate knew that the Li group had not developed well under the control of William. It had declined slowly. When Brian took over it, it was just the low point of the Li group. But when she heard the witness's words Kate still felt a little bit different.

"Do you know how powerful our CEO is? Within just one month, he had made nobody in the company dare to talk about his ability, and the Li group had also been brought back and was becoming stronger and stronger step by step. But he was really busy at that time. The CEO didn't have time to eat. Every time the little princess took meal here for him. Although she came a lot of times, she seldom talked to us." Caro smiled again.

It was then that Lily learned how to cook.

"But as our company is expanding, the time our CEO stays in the company is getting fewer and fewer, and the little princess comes less and less."

"Although I'm not as good as Caro, I think the little princess is very cute. Although she's willful and arrogant, she's always like this." Lea smiled.

Kate felt a little embarrassed. If she were not Lily's sister-in-law, how could she talk to an arrogant girl like Lily, and they would quarrel with each other within a few words.

"The Li group is really a good company. I like here and the CEO. He grew up little by little as if I were looking at my own child. Ha ha, I am really old. "Caro said with a bright smile.

Caro was only in her thirties, and because of her good care, she was no different from a woman in her twenties. "Don't say that, Caro." Lea smiled.

This company was established and developed on the strength of Brian. No one could deny the capability of Brian.

"But I would rather see CEO be happier. Kate, I always feel that you have a good relationship with him. He has changed a lot recently." Caro fixed her eyes on Kate, who was a little stunned, 'is it so obvious?'? "I also think that the place where our CEO passed would be cold......" Lea glanced around and didn't find anyone suspicious, so she said carefully.

Kate was speechless. Weren't they afraid of being found out by Brian? How ridiculous! The place could be cold when he passed.

"Caro, how long have you worked for the elder CEO?" Kate asked as if she was unintentional. She pondered it over. If Caro had worked with Brian for eight years, she might have met her mother, because her mother had been working as William's Secretary for a while.

"About two years," Replied Caro.

Kate was thrilled and asked, "do you know a girl called Mary?"

"Yes, I do. We were colleagues at that time. And Mary was the personal secretary of the old CEO. Within a week, the elder CEO's wife came here. Coincidentally, he was on a business trip, and Mary was left a home. The old CEO's original wife took people outside as she couldn't found anyone in the company. " Said Caro.

Kate knew that Mary didn't have a business trip with William because Kate was ill. Since she was sick and needed someone to take care of her, then Mary stayed and look after her. At that time, Mary was pulled out of the hospital by Juliet. She was having an intravenous drip. The situation was totally out of her expectation.

"I haven't seen Mary since then. From that day on, the Li group fell from a middle-class company to the low, barely in the middle. " It seemed like Caro was recalling the past, reminding everything that had happened.

In the end, Caro shrugged her shoulders and said, "the right and wrong of rich families cannot be seen clearly by others. Let's stop talking about it. It's really hard to make it clear."

"What are you thinking about, Lea?" Seeing Lea lost in thought, Caro couldn't help teasing her.

Looking at Kate, Lea scratched her hair and said, "I seem to remember your information. Mary is your mother?"

All of a sudden, the chopsticks fell from Kate's hand. In a panic, she bent down to pick them up.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Seeing that Lea was about to say something, Caro stopped her and Lea didn't say anything more but shrank her head back.

Kate lowered her head and ate without saying anything.

Caro exchanged a knowing look with Lea and shifted the topic back to another topic. Kate looked at Caro gratefully. Caro adjusted her glasses and smiled at her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
