"Yes, Miss Wilson, it's him” Celine confirmed.
Katherine then instantly declined Charles’ appointment request.
"I don't want to attend that meeting’’ she told her secretary.
Celine was not surprised by this answer.She nodded and reported something else.
"The CEO of L.J.Inc.also wants to have a meeting with you, Miss Wilson”
"Is it about the negotiation with the Girls' Shop?" Katherine asked.
"Yes, Miss Wilson; Celine confirmed and explained, "Mr.Logan wants to know why we canceled the
deal."
Katherine replied, "Just tell him that Natalie Cooper has offended my friend” Celine understood what
Katherine's response meant.
"Alright, Miss Wilson.I'll inform him.”Katherine nodded back.
She then asked, "Anyway, do you want to have lunch with me?"
Celine smiled.
"I'd love that”
Katherine and Celine drove their cars to an Italian restaurant nearby.
The restaurant was typically crowded at noon.
Katherine looked for the restaurant online.She learned that it only opened last month and had already
built a good reputation.
When they entered, Katherine asked Celine on a whim.
"Any update on how the app is going?"
"The number of downloads is not bad.I'm planning to promote it again to sell other products” Celine
replied.
Katherine nodded.
She then ordered orzo and zucchini salad and a bowl of Pappa al Pomodoro.
It was best to eat casserole on such a cold day, but the restaurant had to serve a crowd.
Celine had a pile of work to do recently, so it was not a good idea if Katherine ordered dishes that
demanded a longer time to be served.
Celine and Katherine had known each other for several years.
Even if they were friends, Katherine was Celine's boss.
It was rare for them to eat together.
Now that they did, they talked about business and private matters.
With a lot to talk about, time passed by quickly.
After lunch, Katherine and Celine went on separate ways.
As soon as Katherine stepped out of the elevator, she saw Chloe and her friends coming down from
the escalator.
After what happened last time, Chloe did not dare to mock Katherine this time.
Otherwise, she would have already pulled her friends over to make a scene with Katherine.
But Chloe only hoped that Katherine would not notice her this time.
Chloe did not realize back then that Katherine could be so heartless.
Now, the former knew too well that the latter should not be underestimated again.
Katherine watched Chloe walk away with her friends.
The Colburn’s daughter surprisingly did not dare to start a fight this time.
She could only raise an eyebrow and go straight to the exit of the mall.
Meanwhile, Natalie had been extremely proud since she won two awards during the Shining Awards
Nights.
Now, she was getting more recognition as an actress.
She had been on cloud nine ever since.
Of course, it happened thanks to Maxton.
The Jacobs family was a powerful figure, so Natalie was even more persistent to keep on pleasing
Maxton for him to continue supporting her career.
Last night, she bumped into Alice at the party.
Natalie fixed her stance and stood straight.
Why the hell would she care about her and that woman's friend, Katherine?! Katherine was just a CEO
who only started her company not long ago.
Sure, she was successful.
But her wealth was nothing compared to the Jacobs family.
Natalie was convinced that soon, she would finally defeat Alice! Natalie was daydreaming until she saw
her manager.
The former could tell from the latter's face that something was wrong.
Natalie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Miss Harriet, what's going on? Are you feeling unwell?"
Harriet frowned.
"It doesn’t matter, Natalie.You should be thinking about your career right now.I heard that Logan's
negotiation with the Girls’ Shop was canceled.He couldn't accept it, so he asked the e-commerce
shopping app's owner why.Do you know what she said?"
Natalie curled the corners of her mouth.
"What?"
"She said that you have offended her friend!"
Harriet exclaimed in frustration.
Natalie rolled her eyes and shouted, "What?! That's bullshit!"
In the middle of their conversation, her phone then suddenly rang.
