Chapter 2089: Chapter 2089

“Mm. Stop disturbing me. I’m thinking over an issue.”

Catherine’s attitude was so perfunctory that she did not even lift her head.

Shaun was deeply hurt.

“Ahem. Am I interrupting you guys?” Freya glanced into the door and teased them with a laugh.

Catherine immediately looked up and said with delight, “Freya, you’re here. Does your chest still hurt?”

“I feel much better.” Freya nodded.

Shaun raised his attractive brows. “Since you’re feeling much better, hurry up and return to work.

Otherwise, Cathy will be occupied with work in the office all day and neglect her husband.”

Freya did not know whether she should be laughing or crying at his grievance. Under his stare, she had no choice but to say reluctantly, “ I had a chat with the employees outside just now. Catherine has clearly handled the company much better than I have, in terms of marketing and management, ever since she took over Freyacatheli. I think I’ll hand my position over to Cathy, and I can be the vice president-cum-manager of the research and development department. Cathy, let’s work together. I’m sure we’ll be able to acquire Osher Corporation soon and become the largest cosmetic company in Australia.”

“What?” Shaun’s face instantly darkened. “No way. She’s not free. Given that she needs to manage both Hudson and Freycatheli, when will she have time for me? We’ve even decided to go on a vacation in the Maldives together next month.”

“Go ahead. After Cathy leaves, I’ll do my best to look after the company. Perhaps we can have a video call remotely to talk about work.”

Freya advised him earnestly, “Young Master Hill, Cathy is in the flower of her youth. She’s only in her twenties, the golden age for pursuing her career. You can’t expect her to dedicate her life to relationships. You must allow her to gain a sense of happiness in her relationship and a sense of achievement in her career. I think you should go back to work in Hill Corporation as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you’ll seem like a kept man when Cathy surpasses you in her career.”

Shaun did not look at Freya. Instead, his eyes rested on Catherine. “Cathy, what do you think?”

Freya’s mouth twitched. “Cathy, you know my ability. I can research products, but when it comes to management— ”

Catherine raised her hand and interrupted her. Then, she turned around and said to Shaun, “ Shaunny, we’ve enjoyed ourselves for a few months. We were quite happy at first, but it can be boring… if it happens every day. Now that Freycatheli has gained momentum, and this is my first time investing, I feel like expanding the business. Actually, I hope you can come back and work. In all honesty, considering that you’re always by my side, I’m afraid you’ll be bored of me before I get old.”

“How would I be bored of you? I think you’ll be the one feeling bored of me instead.” Shaun pointed to Freya with a jealous expression. “Even she’s more important than me.”

Freya chuckled and raised her brow. “Young Master Hill, think about how I was by Cathy’s side when you hurt her. Without me, Cathy and her two kids might not have stayed the course. Men will abandon her, but I won’t.”

“Enough. You just had to stab me in the sore spot.” At the mention of his dark past, Shaun became edgy. “Fine, fine. I’ll give in. You guys carry on with your work. I’ll take my leave.”

“Hubby, let me see you off.”

Catherine hooked her arm around his and walked him down.

In the elevator, she leaned her face on Shaun’s shoulder. “Don’t be upset. I’ve been keeping you company after work every day, haven’t I? Plus, Freya has just given birth to her child and gotten a divorce. She needs to make money and look after her child since she doesn’t have a man to rely on. I understand that feeling, so I want to help her through this difficult period.”

“Cathy, drop it. I remember what happened in the past. In fact, I’m quite thankful that Freya was with you throughout that period.”

Shaun held her hand, and his eyes darkened.“ I’ve just been feeling insecure since my memories have recovered. I’ve hurt you too much, and I’m worried that you’ll leave me. That’s why I want to spend more time with you and treat you better.”
