Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 847: Miss, Your Peach Blossoms Have Arrived!
Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Miss, Your Peach Blossoms Have Arrived!
Catherine Ford was having a fairly good conversation with Supervisor Clements, but suddenly, he looked at her disdainfully and then glanced at Grace Clarke before leaving the logistics department.
Catherine Ford was completely baffled. What was going on? Do men nowadays change their faces this fast?
Feeling odd, she nevertheless didn’t dwell on it, but half an hour later, the logistics department received a message from the sales department. They hoped that Grace Clarke could become their new point of contact with logistics.
This outcome not only stunned Catherine Ford, but also left Grace Clarke dazed. She looked at Catherine Ford innocently, "Catherine, I swear to God, I had no idea about this!"
Then they heard Rita Pansy’s sour retort, "Who knows?"
Grace Clarke glared at Rita Pansy angrily, then went straight to ask Director Hopkin. Director Hopkin was also quite surprised by this, but helpless, "It was specially requested by the sales department, I’m not clear about the reason either. Catherine, what do you think?"
"I’m resigning at the end of this month. I was planning to discuss with Carol about handing over my responsibilities to Grace, but as you know, although logistics is small, the competition is fierce. If I were to propose it straight away, others might not agree. Now, this works out just fine." Although Catherine Ford did not understand the intention of the sales department, her current reputation indeed did not suit her to continue showing off in various departments.
"But these are all your hard work..." Grace Clarke knew about the effort Catherine had put in from the beginning and also understood that she was initially planning to get promoted through this year’s annual meeting. Hearing Catherine’s words, she felt very apologetic.
Catherine Ford just smiled, "Either you or Rita Pansy, you don’t want Rita to replace me, do you?"
"Of course not!"
"Then you have to work hard." Catherine Ford patted Grace Clarke on the back to encourage her, but when Director Hopkin sent Grace Clarke out, the despondency in her eyes was easily exposed to Director Hopkin.
Seeing this, Director Hopkin sighed softly, "Catherine, what plans do you have next?"
"It’s hard to find a job at the end of the year, I plan to send out my resume after the New Year." Catherine Ford put away her negative emotions and answered softly, although she knew that the new video circulating in the company hadn’t affected her departure as she had predicted.
The adult world hardly speaks of fairness.
Catherine Ford had already adjusted her mood these past few days and didn’t react much. Instead, Director Hopkin seeing her like this, gently reminded, "Anna Ford came to the company this afternoon."
Because of the video of Catherine Ford’s confrontation with May Coffey this week, people’s impressions of her improved significantly, but at the same time, a lot of negative information about Anna Ford came out, plummeting her personal image. Director Hopkin, who had dealt with Anna Ford a few times, knew that this woman, spoiled and pampered, would not silently endure any disadvantage, and her reminder was for Catherine Ford to be cautious.
Upon hearing this, Catherine Ford immediately understood Carol’s hint, and thanked her before leaving her office.
As soon as she left, Grace Clarke rushed up, "Catherine..."
"It’s okay, given my current situation, it’s not suitable for me to run around departments. It’s better you handle it." This was not just consoling Grace Clarke. Catherine Ford had already verified the personnel details of various departments online. Next, she needed to start offline communication and program arrangements, as well as rehearsals. Universal isn’t a small company, industry leaders would attend the event, as well as media interviews. Logistics must communicate well with various departments in advance. However, her current predicament definitely made her unsuitable for this.
"Catherine, you are really kind." Grace Clarke came forward and rubbed Catherine’s shoulder.
Catherine Ford frowned, "Speak properly, don’t be touchy-feely." freёwebnoѵel.com
"Tsk, I want to, you honestly tell me what brand you use for your skin, why is it so smooth, so soft, and so tender? If I were your man, I’d be thrilled!" Grace Clarke said while trying to take advantage again, but Catherine Ford dodged with a laugh.
But despite the playful atmosphere, Grace Clarke was still puzzled, "Catherine, why would the sales department specifically ask for me? I’m not even familiar with them!"
Grace Clarke didn’t know what to think until she asked, and Catherine Ford suddenly remembered Supervisor Clements asking about Grace’s boyfriend, and she chuckled, "Girl, your romantic luck is arriving!"
"My romantic luck?" Grace Clarke was baffled, she wasn’t familiar with the people from the sales department, they were all snobbish, and looked down on others.
"Yes!" Catherine Ford confirmed decisively, then told Grace Clarke about Supervisor Clements asking about her boyfriend.
Grace Clarke listened, stunned. Supervisor Clements was the second in command in the sales department, asking about her?
Could it be that her romantic luck really was arriving!
All of a sudden, Grace Clarke thought of something, leaned in and kissed Catherine Ford on the face, "Darling, thank you so much, you’re really my lucky star, I’ve decided to continue showing off your lunch tomorrow, anyway, I’ll lure him in first no matter what."
Grace Clarke was not stupid; she had added the sales department deputy supervisor over a year ago, initially out of work necessity, and had not had any contact since then, even the New Year greetings were tacitly understood not to be sent in a group message. She nearly didn’t have to think before crediting all of it to the lunches of Catherine Ford.
Catherine Ford, startled, replied, "Is that even possible?"
"Anyway, I’ve decided to start practicing cooking from today and determined to keep up with Catherine!" Grace Clarke said enthusiastically.
Catherine Ford, watching her like this, felt her originally gloomy mood swept away.
But just as Catherine Ford let go of her poor mood and got involved in work, a new piece of gossip gradually began to spread within Universal. The girlfriend of Lawyer Jones was not any sensational girlfriend, but a female employee of Universal.
However, as it was only circulated in a small circle, it did not attract much attention.
In the afternoon, they had to book a venue, and Director Hopkin led the entire logistics department. Everyone was very busy until after work, utterly exhausted. Also, since Catherine Ford did not see Miss Ford, she forgot Carol’s warning, and after finishing, she left the company alone avoiding everyone. Unexpectedly, as she was passing by a corner, Anna Ford appeared with May Coffey.
Seeing the furious look of the two women, Catherine Ford took a deep breath and attempted to walk past them by ignoring them, but Miss Ford wouldn’t have it and glared at May Coffey.
May Coffey, shorter but heftier than Catherine Ford, stepped forward to block Catherine Ford, "Apologize to Miss Ford!"
Catherine Ford glanced at May Coffey, then sidelong at Anna Ford, "Move aside."
When she just came out, she sent Benjamin Jones a message, the man said he would pick her up later. She did not want to cause any scandal with Benjamin Jones now, so she really didn’t want to get entangled with May Coffey and the others.
But her attitude, in Anna Ford’s eyes, was a provocation. Remembering the slap she received from Catherine Ford that day, she felt humiliated. She had spent much effort to force that woman out of the company, only to see Director Hopkin protect her. Although she still had to leave, it wouldn’t be until the end of the month. Unexpectedly, her well-laid plans to ruin Catherine’s reputation failed because May Coffey, that fool, couldn’t handle anything properly. It didn’t just fail to humiliate the poor woman, but also led to the exposure of her own scandalous past. Now, her reputation was even worse than Catherine’s.
How could she swallow such humiliation!
What infuriated her even more was that Catherine Ford was now even more rude than before, which greatly annoyed Anna Ford. She stepped forward directly, "Catherine Ford, I know you are a divorcee with a child and really need this job. How about this? Slap yourself ten times, then kneel down and apologize to me, and I’ll have the HR department keep you on the job."
Catherine Ford looked up at Anna Ford incredulously. Although their names were only one character different and also somewhat fateful, their vibes just did not match. She sighed softly, "Get out of the way."
Catherine Ford didn’t want to pay any attention to such blatant attempts to humiliate her by Miss Ford, and couldn’t help but wonder, is this Miss so idle?
But she was very busy.
After saying that, Catherine Ford did not actually expect May Coffey to move aside and instead prepared to bypass her from the side. Just then, in panic—since May Coffey was essentially trying to redeem herself today—if Catherine escaped, Anna might vent her anger on her, and it could end badly if she too was fired. Due to the panic, May Coffey reached out and grabbed onto Catherine’s hair.
The thing Catherine Ford hated and feared the most in her life was having her hair pulled. During the past three years, whenever Foster Newman got furious, he would first grab her hair, which is why she always kept her hair short. Only recently, after moving to Rose Valley and feeling a bit relaxed, did she start to grow her hair longer. Unexpectedly, she had been grabbed by Anna Ford before, and now by May Coffey. She became somewhat emotionally uncontrollable, turned around, and pushed May Coffey away.
May Coffey hadn’t expected Catherine Ford’s reaction to be so fierce. Her short and plump body couldn’t stabilize and she directly toppled backward and fainted from the pain.
When Catherine Ford came to her senses, the person was already lying on the ground, and Miss Ford by her side had turned pale, suddenly pointing at Catherine, "You... you’ve killed someone!"
Catherine Ford blankly looked at the person on the ground, then back at Anna Ford pointing at her, only feeling a buzzing in her ears, forgetting completely how to react.
At this moment, other people nearby heard the commotion and started gathering around.
Catherine Ford heard the murmurings around her, standing rigidly in place. Over the years, she feared Foster Newman, but actually, she feared something else even more—losing control due to Foster’s harassment and killing him inadvertently. However, she never imagined that after finally escaping from Foster, she couldn’t escape fate.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, but ultimately, all she could think about was Alice. What should she do if she had really killed someone? What would happen to her Alice?
Her body uncontrollably began to tremble lightly, yet Anna Ford yelled even louder and more frantically to the crowd looking on, "You’ve killed someone, you’ve killed someone..."
Accusation after accusation, as if a demonic chant swirling around Catherine Ford’s ears, made her feel dizzy in waves, nearly falling down, when suddenly someone grabbed her waist. Catherine Ford turned back confusedly to meet a handsome, stern face and moved her mouth trying to call Lawyer Jones but couldn’t make a sound, taking a while before she could barely say the first sentence, "I killed someone..."
Benjamin Jones saw the person on the ground, then glanced at the dazed Anna Ford, quickly picked Catherine Ford up, then instructed Reed, "You handle this."
Reed responded, walked over to the fainted May Coffey, quickly checked her, and then looked up to explain to the onlookers, "She’s not dead, just fainted."
Having said that, he dialed 120.
Seeing how solemn and frightening Reed was, coupled with the powerful presence of that man just now, no one dared to linger. They all dispersed rapidly, leaving only Anna Ford standing dazed at the scene, unable to comprehend why Benjamin Jones had carried away Catherine Ford. Why? How could this be possible!
"Miss Ford, your friend just fainted. I can’t rule out that she was pushed, but if I’m not mistaken, it was caused by low blood sugar. Has your friend been dieting recently?" Reed spoke indifferently, yet his words clearly implied that Catherine’s collapse wasn’t much related to her.
Normally, Anna would have caught on by now, but the shock she received was too great, causing her to nod subconsciously after hearing Reed’s words. By the time she realized what she had done, it was too late. She could only glare at Reed fiercely, "What is that shabby woman’s relationship with Lawyer Jones! Why would Lawyer Jones carry her?"
By the end of her question, Anna’s voice had become shrill, almost driven mad by jealousy. Why, how could it be possible; is Lawyer Jones blind?
But after asking, Anna remembered the magnetic bass she heard over the phone when she was in the elevator that day from Catherine. She felt it was Benjamin’s voice, but later couldn’t believe it had anything to do with Lawyer Jones, especially since the staff at Universal mentioned Benjamin’s girlfriend was Ellis Raindream. She didn’t believe it until...
No, Lawyer Jones merely carrying Catherine doesn’t signify they are in that kind of relationship. Thinking this, Anna pinned all her hopes on Reed’s response.
Originally, Reed did not intend to answer Anna’s evidently malicious question, but seeing the jealousy and reluctance in her eyes, he suddenly relented, "It’s exactly the relationship you’re thinking of."
What Anna thinks is none of his business; as long as he’s not lying, it’s fine!
Upon hearing this, Anna felt a bone-chilling coldness. Her last hope shattered, "Impossible, impossible. How could Lawyer Jones fancy someone shabby like Catherine Ford? She must have used some tactics on Lawyer Jones, right? He must not know she has been divorced and has a child, right? Lawyer Jones must have been deceived by her!"
Listening to her, Reed thought to himself how could he not know, Ms. Ford’s divorce was even initiated by the boss’ approval. But looking at the frenzied woman in front of him, he lost the desire to speak. Seeing the ambulance arrive, he went to explain the situation.
May Coffey was loaded into the ambulance, Reed then looked at Anna, still visibly shaken, "Miss, aren’t you going to take care of your friend?"
Anna came back to her senses and saw May Coffey, pale-faced and being stretchered into the vehicle. Right, her issues with Catherine weren’t over, and May Coffey should not suffer in vain, so she stepped onto the ambulance.
Seeming to perceive Anna’s thoughts, Reed coldly warned, "Whatever you are planning to do, Miss Ford, I advise you to consider carefully."
"What do you mean?" Anna was extremely annoyed with Benjamin Jones, this driver. Even though he was just a servant, he had such a high attitude.
As if Reed didn’t see the scorn in Anna’s eyes, he replied calmly, "Because no matter what you do, Lawyer Jones will see it through to the end."
"You!"
"Cough cough cough..." Just as Anna trembled with anger, May Coffey began to cough after a rapid infusion, clearly about to regain consciousness.
Miss Ford was furious, useless trash!
