Alle Kapitel von Bright Future With Him: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

This was Chris she was talking to. They were in the middle of a meeting for a multi-million dollar project. Yet here Kathryn was, asking about cooking ingredients.Janet and the finance manager exchanged looks. They were both shocked. They expected Chris to get angry and scold Kathryn immediately for her idiocy! But then, they heard Chris's tone soften. "Get both. Can you carry all that?"Janet and the finance manager were speechless. Their chests tightened, and their minds went blank. Was that really Ms. Michaels? A lowly assistant?Kathryn said she could carry the items. Then, she asked whether there really was nothing in the kitchen. Chris confirmed that it was so. Nonetheless, he asked her not to buy too much, worried that she wouldn't be able to carry everything.By now, the entire meeting room knew who he was on the phone with. Even those sitting too far away to hear could tell. They couldn't believe they were seeing such a soft side to Chris. Yes, the tone he used with

Usually, Tally would have lunch with Kathryn at the cafeteria. Yet, neither of them was spotted there that day. The other departments didn't mind. However, the front desk and assistants department was a little nervous, especially the assistants department. They had been fighting for the position of executive assistant. And now, Kathryn had spent the entire lunch hour in Chris' office.What was going on? Was she trying to seduce him? If so, then she was playing with fire. Everyone in the Albert Group—in Harborlean—knew that Chris Albert couldn't be easily seduced. So right now, everyone in the department was waiting for Kathryn's inevitable end. Meanwhile, Kathryn was nodding off in the break room after lunch. Chris shot her a look and said, "Do the dishes!" "Oh, okay!" She was awake in an instant. It was only fair if she did the dishes. This was something she knew how to do, so there wouldn't be any mistakes. Chris had a habit of napping. By the time Kathryn had cleaned

As long as Kathryn and Chris weren't living under the same roof, they would surely have fewer problems.Kathryn nodded. Tally was right!Chris had looked at her the same way he'd looked at women who tried to seduce him—threateningly and murderously! "Won't Albert Group fire me?" Kathryn looked at Tally worriedly.Tally shook her head. "Nah, he still needs you to be his wife. He's not going to fire you."Why did they get married in the first place? He needed to deal with his family, of course.That was why firing her now would be a bad move!He'd probably still keep her around, but he just won't let her get too close. This disaster was a blessing in disguise for Kathryn.After all that, Kathryn felt much better and less worried."But you need to be more careful from now on. Mr. Albert may be staying away from you now, but you've left a terrible impression on him," Tally said. Kathryn nodded furiously. "Alright. I will."Even though she was nodding so sincerely, Tally was

Outside the office, Elise and Pippa were purposefully walking past the door. They thought Kathryn would get yelled at after going in, and then she'd be fired. However, they had walked past the door several times by now. Nothing seemed to be happening. They exchanged looks. Just as they wondered whether she was fired, the office door suddenly opened. Chris came out with a spotless outfit … and Kathryn's hand in his?Elise and Pippa had been waiting to celebrate Kathryn getting fired, so they froze. They completely forgot to react when they saw the two holding hands.Kathryn was very anxious now! The hand Chris was holding felt like it was in an oven, and she flinched a bit under their heated gazes!"What's wrong?" Chris looked at her.Kathryn said nothing.Pippa and Elise gasped, especially when they saw Kathryn's limited edition, branded outfit.Could it be? Had she successfully seduced him? No way!It was easy to believe if they were talking about someone else, but this w

Chris pushed Kathryn towards Emily and said, "Show your sister-in-law around. Give her a tour!""Have you come to your senses? Are you coming back?" Emily raised an eyebrow.Chris didn't reply. His eyes were full of anger!When Emily noticed that Chris didn't say anything, she took Kathryn's hand with a smile. "Leave her to me. Go."Chris nodded. He looked at Kathryn and said, "Wait half an hour for me, okay?""Okay!"Kathryn was very nervous. She had no idea what was going on. No one was arguing, but she felt like she couldn't breathe since she stepped into the house.Chris walked away. He'd barely taken a few steps when Emily yelled, "Chris!" Her voice was full of worry.Chris stopped, but he didn't look back. He simply asked coldly, "What?"Emily said in a low voice, "Don't anger Father. Please don't fall into traps too easily!"Listening to the reminder made Kathryn scared. Was this a home or a danger zone?She already thought that Jessica's life was torture after she ma
