Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler
Chapter 331

Chapter 331 "They... They can't accept it yet. Trust me, give me some time. I can convince them." George panicked and grabbed Catelyn's hands. His heart was racing just at the thought of it. George then promised earnestly, "To me, you are the best. I have fallen for you since the first time we met. However, you were still with BrightGene Group back then. I knew that it was not time yet, but now... Everything has fallen into place. Can you give me a chance and allow me to take care of you and Miles, okay?"

Their eyes interlocked. Catelyn could see her own reflection in his eyes.

She believed he was being serious.

However, she also believed that she was a problem magnet for now. She had a lot of problems to solve, and whoever hooked up with her would be unfortunate too. She did not want to involve any other people. Furthermore... She might leave Mason Group very soon.

"I am sorry, George, we can be friends." Catelyn slowly pulled her hands out of his, placed two red bills on the table, turned, and walked away. If she could not answer him, then she should not keep his hopes up. The breeze kissed her face when she stepped out of the Italean restaurant. Her flowy hair waved by the wind by her ears. She felt refreshed when her phone rang.

She saw Cedrick's name on the caller, and her pupils constricted slightly. Other than nervousness, she felt a little bit of anticipation. They did not contact each other after that unpleasant day in the car. He went outstation for work, and she joined the company. They did not cross paths, but now... Was he back in the country? Catelyn bit her lower lip, and once she was certain that her voice sounded normal again, she picked up the phone. Before she could say hello, she heard his cold voice. "I am about 50 meters in the street to your right. Come over."

Her chest full of enthusiasm was immediately dampened.

Catelyn's expression was stiff too.

She looked to her left and saw a black Spiker under an old oak tree.

She had seen this car in the garage at Mason Estate before.

She compartmentalized her emotions, gave herself a little cheer, and then sprinted toward Cedrick's Spiker.

However, she could smell the smoke as soon as she got near. "Ollie said you would be outstation for a week. I thought you would only be back after a few days."

Cedrick could tell that she was not being sincere but instead was merely trying to please him. He was not exactly happy about that.

"Of course, you would not wish for me to be back earlier."

"That is not the case. Plus, you did not inform me when you left." Cedrick responded with a cold smile, "Are you blaming me for not telling you?" "Why would I?" Catelyn was patient at first, but she got a little annoyed by Cedrick's attitude. "If you are still mad at me, just let me leave! Out of sight, out of mind."

Catelyn stared right into his eyes after saying that. She sounded like she really would leave without any hesitation if he asked her to.
