Chapter 18 Offending the Bigwig
As soon as Catalina entered the office, she noticed her colleagues seemed very strange.
All the girls in the office, except her, wore heavy makeup and were dressed in beautiful clothes.
Even Emery, who has always been confident about her natural beauty, was putting makeup on herself
in her cubicle.
Catalina couldn't help asking, "Emery, why are you all wearing makeup? Is there going to be a ball
later?"
Emery put the blush on her face, then stuck her head out of the cubicle, and said, "Didn't you read the
notifications in the chat group?"
"No. What's going on?"
She was so upset at Bennett that she didn't have time to read the group message!
"Our president has returned from abroad, and he will take office today! How could you not pay attention
to such important news?"
"Well..."
Catalina was confused and shook her head.
"The point is, he's so handsome, and he's the most eligible bachelor. That's what the editor-in-chief
said."
Immediately, other colleagues echoed, "Yes, it is said that he is really charming. Besides, he has a
good family background."
"Lina, don't waste your time. Let me put on makeup for you! Anyway, you are also single now, and we
all have a chance. That's fair competition!"
Emery was about to put makeup on Catalina.
Catalina smiled, stopped Emery who was very enthusiastic with her hand and said, "That's fine, I won't
participate in your competition. I'll just watch."
First of all, she was no longer a single woman.
Secondly, no matter how handsome or outstanding the man was, he would not be attractive to her.
After all, the man she married was better than the other men in the world.
"Okay, remember what you said. If you regret it, I'll fix you later."
Catalina smiled, ignored them, and got down to work.
In less than half an hour, the editor-in-chief knocked on the door and said, "Hurry up! Ladies and
gentlemen, go to the lobby on the first floor and wait in line. The president said on the phone that we
must greet him. Everyone must be present, especially the staff of the reporter department."
Catalina thought that the president was pompous. Everyone should stand in line and greet him as if he
were the king!
However, after all, she didn't dare to disobey the leader.
Emery tugged her and ran out, saying, "We have to be one step ahead and take a good position. Even
if the president is not interested in us, the handsome guy is also pleasing to the eyes."
"I never see you being so active at work."
After Emery's hard work, she did get a good position in the front row.
Just as everyone was divided into two rows, there was a burst of yelling from outside, "The president's
cars have arrived!"
Immediately, a line of at least ten vehicles drove toward Sayton Newspaper.
"Wow! These are all luxury cars!"
Emery grabbed Catalina's wrist excitedly and said, "Lina, this president is as rich and powerful as your
keeper back then!"
Catalina was curious and couldn't help looking over there.
This style really resembled that of the Shaffer family.
The cars finally stopped at the main entrance.
The senior executives of Sayton Newspaper rushed out to greet the new president, and respectfully
opened the door of the first luxury car.
A man dressed in dark gray trousers got out of the car. His legs were long, and he wore a pair of shiny
handmade leather boots.
As soon as he got out of the car, the colleagues behind Catalina exclaimed unanimously.
Catalina couldn't see his face at all, because their sight in the first row happened to be blocked by the
company's promotional banner on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, the man had a perfect figure.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his manner was elegant. He was standing straight, so
even though she couldn't see the man's face, it was not difficult to see that he was indeed an
outstanding man with an extraordinary bearing, just as the editor-in-chief described.
Because Emery couldn't see, she was so anxious that she kept leaning forward and backward and
said, "Is he handsome? Hey, what does he look like? Come inside!"
As she spoke, the president who had just returned home led his exclusive team and walked in.
After seeing the man's handsome and arrogant face, Catalina...
Damn!
Immediately, this word popped up in her head when she couldn't think straight.
Then she thought that she was so screwed!
Catalina never expected that the most eligible bachelor that was hyped by the editor-in-chief, and the
biggest boss turned out to be...
Darnell?
As the saying, enemies are destined to meet!
"He is so handsome! Oh my god! I'm going to pass out!"
Emery was totally a boy crazy!
From the first second Darnell appeared, she started praising him.
She was so excited that she held Catalina's hand and said to her while jumping up and down, "Lina,
how can there be such a good-looking man in this world? I'm falling for him."
She was being too dramatic.
Catalina couldn't imagine what would happen if she saw Bennett. She probably would throw herself at
him.
Catalina admitted that Darnell was handsome, but now she had no time to pay attention to these things
at all. There was only one thought in her mind, and it was...that she must run away.
Her life was at stake!
It took Catalina a lot of effort to take her wrist out of Emery's hand. She lowered her head and quietly
stepped out of the first row, trying to leave here quietly.
She prayed that Darnell would not notice her.
However, things often went wrong.
"Catalina!"
Unexpectedly, Darnell, who was surrounded by the crowd, called out her name in front of everyone.
Therefore, everyone including the senior executives of the company stared at Catalina with a shocked
unbelievable look.
Catalina only felt that she was in trouble.
She knew that Darnell did it on purpose!
Darnell stood in the crowd with one hand in his pocket, his chin raised slightly, and he condescendingly
looked down at Catalina who lowered her head and was about to run away.
"Where are you going? Did I say that you could leave now?"
"..."
Catalina had no choice but to go back silently.
She told herself that she had to bear with it.
That was because she had offended her boss.
"Lina! The president knows you. Come on, he wants to see you! Go over here and say hello."
Emery pushed Catalina to the front of the team as she spoke.
Catalina would rather be dead now.
What a silly teammate!
Darnell gave her a smile, which made Catalina's hair stand on end.
"Mr...Mr. Wyatt..."
Catalina had to brave it out and greet him.
Darnell approached her step by step, deliberately blew into her ear, and said, "Well! When does Ms.
Grant have a stuttering problem?"
"..."
Catalina really wanted to bite him.
She glared at him and said in a voice that only two of them could hear, "This is the company, so please
watch your behavior, Mr. Wyatt."
Catalina could feel the jealous glances behind her. Those female colleagues who liked Darnell wished
to kill her now.
Obviously, Darnell did it on purpose.
"Catalina, if you don't want to have a miserable ending, come to my office after the meeting! I will see
you there."
"..."
Darnell straightened up, glanced at the employees, and said, "The meeting is over!"
Then he left with his team.
Catalina sighed.
Sure enough, all the men in the Shaffer family were difficult to deal with!
So was Bennett, and Darnell was even worse.
Fine...
Catalina wondered if she had committed too many sins in her previous life that she met men in the novelbin
Shaffer family for no reason in this life.
