Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1568 Catherine was startled. âYou seem to know something, Mr. Costner.â
Titus kept quiet.
Catherine laughed and said, âLook how silly I am. Considering that you could come to this floor and play chess, your identity must be far different from mine. You should be at least as powerful as the prime minister.â
âYou donât have to probe me.â Titus turned his head around and glanced at the woman in a dress. Her astuteness and intelligence reminded him of the scene when he first met Sheryl back then. â Come and take a seat. Have a look at this game with me.â
Catherine walked up to him nonchalantly. She was quite familiar with chess.
However, Titus seemed to have come to a dead position in the game.
âI was playing chess with someone just now. Please think of a way out for me. Iâm going to lose.â
Titusâs azure eyes expressed a sense of helplessness. â Iâm not good at this type of chess. â
â If I help you, I should be rewarded in some way, â Catherine replied with a grin.
Titus threw her a look. âYou really do know how to push your luck, huh?â
âGiven your unusual identity, Iâm asking for a reward so that I can take advantage of you. I definitely wonât want to miss this opportunity.â Catherine said with a smile, âBesides, I believe the person who is playing this game with you has an outstanding identity too. Heâs Prime Minister Snow, right?â
Titus chuckled. Many people wanted to take advantage of him.
Even Sherylâs daughter, Rebecca, wanted to take advantage of him. Nevertheless, none of them was as frank as Catherine, and frank and clever people would never annoy him.
â If I help you to defeat the prime minister in this game without being rewarded, I donât think thatâs fair.â
Catherine raised her brows.
âFine. If you manage to win this game for me, Iâll help you save one person when you encounter a problem next time. But itâs only limited to one person,â Titus said after some thought. âAlright.â
Catherine nodded before she spontaneously bent over and moved one of the pawns in front of him.
After fixing his eyes on it for a while, Titus burst out laughing. âAmazing. This is amazing. Why didnât I think of it?â
âItâs not because you didnât think of it. Youâre just not familiar with this type of chess,â Catherine answered with a smile.
âFine. Everyone has their own strengths, and chess is my weakness. Iâm not shy to admit it.â
Titus waved his hand in a light-hearted manner.
A trace of admiration shone in Catherineâs eyes. âMr. Costner, I think my boyfriend is done, so I have to go now, lest he comes over and disturbs you.â
Titus asked playfully, âHow sure are you that heâll disturb me when he comes over?â
âI donât know. But considering your status, I donât think youâll want to meet any random person. Of course, if Shaun performs well, heâll be able to get acquainted with a powerhouse like you. But if the contrary happens, youâll see us as having scheming minds. â Catherine expressed her worries candidly.
âYouâre right.â Titus nodded, his eyes flashing with praise. âBut donât you need any proof of the promise I made just now?â
âGiven your status, I donât think itâs warranted, Mr. Costner. Whatâs more, if you really plan to go back on your word, thereâs nothing I can do about it. Even writing a note as proof will be useless.â Catherine glanced at the time. âGoodbye, Mr. Costner.â
Soon after she left, someone walked out from a dark corner.
Wesley lowered his head and gazed at the photos in his hand. From these photos, Catherine and Titus were seen standing at one side of the chessboard, with one of them standing and the other sitting.
Titusâs lips were smiling with satisfaction.
Resentment filled Wesleyâs heart.
He did not expect Catherine to run into Titus, who was supposed to hate her. However, he actually had a pleasant chat with her.
