Chapter 144
"I don’t want my heart to be broken again," Kate said. "So help me here, watch over him and make sure that he won’t do anything while I’m away."
Mai was stunned by her boss’ possessiveness.
All this time, she always thought Mr. Grant was the more possessive one. After all, Mai often noticed that Mr. Grant would watch Mrs. Woods’ small gestures as if his world would crumble if she was out of his sight for a while.
But their clinginess and possessiveness seemed equally on the same ground.
Mai didn’t expect the usually cool and composed Katherine Woods to have this side of her.
"I understand, Ma’am," Mai nodded as she took the task seriously. "I will make sure that Mr. Grant won’t do anything while you’re away."
"Thank you, Mai. I will make sure that your position in this company is well protected," Kate said. "This is the least I could do for you."
’You did more than that, Ma’am,’ Mai replied in her heart. ’You just don’t realize it.’
"Well, I have to go now. See you in uh... probably more than a week, Mai," Kate said. "Don’t worry about your work. Mr. Eckermann will be here to help you. You should spend more time with him, by the way. I believe you two are very professional at work, right?"
"We are, Ma’am," Mai assured.
’... I feel like, the more I speak about Michael, the harder it will be for him to approach Mai. It’s best to shut up now,’ Kate thought.
