Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 175

Chapter 175 “What’s the matter?” Cedrick asked when he saw Catelyn wavering.

Catelyn took a deep breath and said, “Can I have my salary in advance?” She was not the kind of person who wanted to trouble others, especially Cedrick. However, she had no choice in this matter.

Feeling afraid that he would disagree, she earnestly added, “Don’t worry! Even if I get my salary in advance, I’ll still work hard to make sure my work is done in a satisfying manner.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Give me a reason for this,” said Cedrick.

“Personal…reasons,” muttered Catelyn embarrassingly. “Can we not talk about it?”

Cedrick raised his eyebrows lightly. “If you don’t tell me, how can I be sure if I should give you your salary in advance?”

“I…” Catelyn felt flustered at this.

If Cedrick does not agree to this, how would she fight her lawsuit against Jamie? Even if she wanted to talk about it, where should she start?

There was a brief silence between the two, and suddenly, the door was pushed open as Charles walked in.

“Master Cedrick, Mister Lewis had signed the contract, and he’d like to invite you to dinner. He’s still waiting in the conference room,” reported Charles, not realizing the situation between Cedrick and Catelyn.

After speaking, he stared at Cedrick’s white shirt, and his face was overtaken by immediate surprise.

Cedrick still had the same masculine, handsome face that remained unchanged for many years to come. However, there was a very light red mark on the neckline of his shirt, just like a woman’s lipstick!

Taking a closer look at Catelyn, her cheeks were slightly red, and her hair was a little out of place than before. The most noticeable thing was that her shirt was in a mess, as if it had been crumpled severely.

Charles’ eyes widened as if he just had an epiphany. Did he just intrude while they were up to something?

Thinking of this, Charles pretended to be cheerfully oblivious and waved his hand to the two of them. “I’ll take care of Mister Lewis, Master Cedrick. Please, carry on, you two.”

Charles was about to leave, but Cedrick suddenly called out to him, “No. Mister Lewis has just signed the contract, and I have to be respectful about it. I’ll go and see him in person.”

Catelyn felt deflated when she heard that Cedrick was going to accompany Lewis to dinner.

Suddenly, Cedrick said to her, “You’ll come along, too.”

What?

“N-No, I have to pick up Miles from school later…” stammered Catelyn.

“Didn’t you just say you wanted to talk to me about your salary?” said Cedrick meaningfully, sternly. Charles also quickly persuaded her, “That’s right, Miss Clark I’m sure Mister Lewis won’t mind you coming along.” Despite the assurance, Catelyn still felt uneasy. At this moment, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the lipstick mark on Cedrick’s collar.

Since when did that happen? If Cedrick walked out like this, it would cause a big misunderstanding! Catelyn followed behind him. As they reached the corner of the corridor, she quietly approached Cedrick and tugged the hem of his clothes. “There’s something dirty on your left collar.” Cedrick saw Catelyn’s cautious look and reached out to touch his neckline, but he did not feel anything. “It’s a lipstick mark You

can’t feel it…” Catelyn muttered as she pointed to his left collar. Cedrick pursed his lips lightly, deliberately teasing her, “A lipstick mark?”
