Chapter 112
"Can’t you just ignore her?" Kate suggested. "I mean, pretend that you two are just coworkers, look at her as if she’s just one of the employees that you don’t need to be bothered with."
Kate liked Mai a lot. She was sweet, diligent, and also a dedicated employee.
But her major flaw was that she was also temperamental and sometimes she would say things that she would regret later, "I’m not sure if Mai can keep this a secret from Erin. You know that Erin is infuriating, and Mai has a personal vendetta against a woman like Erin."
"I’m afraid that Mai will scream about the whole plan in Erin’s face, and everything will be ruined," Kate said.
"Don’t worry, Ma’am. I will make sure to keep Mai in check in case she gets too angry at Erin," Michael assured. "I’m unsure if I can continue working on this plan to take down your sister if I’m stuck in a hostile work environment, Ma’am. Mai’s disgust over me has affected me tremendously."
"Hostile work environment?" Kate paused for a while, and then she grinned mischievously. "Mr. Eckermann, don’t tell me that you’re interested in Mai—AH!"
Michael suddenly stepped on the breaks the moment Kate asked if he was interested in Mai. He turned around to talk face to face with Kate, who was still shocked at his reaction in the back of the car, "Ma’am, please refrain from careless assumptions. I am not interested in Mai. I just don’t like how she keeps giving me disgusted looks."
Kate was shocked when Michael suddenly stopped the car. They were lucky it was midnight, so there were not many cars on the road and there were no cars behind them.
It annoyed her that Michael almost gave her a heart attack, but it also amused her because she was convinced that Michael was interested in Mai.
