Chapter 144

2"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.

She grabbed her bag and then walked out of the office. 

She drove her car to her apartment and stuffed her luggage with her clothes. She then dragged her luggage and walked out of her apartment, only to find Henry waiting for her at the door.

"Why are you here?" Kate asked as she closed the door and ensured it locked properly with a new password, so Erin couldn't break in. 

"You're carrying luggage, do you think I will let you carry heavy stuff while you're pregnant?" Henry snatched the luggage from Kate's hand and then began to walk to the elevator.

Kate pouted and followed him from behind, "I'm pregnant, not dying. I can carry my luggage all by myself."

"And I'm the father of the baby, it's my responsibility to keep you safe," Henry said. "Especially from a bitch like Erin."

Henry and Kate entered his car, and they drove to the airport. 

"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Henry asked. "I mean, our last trip to San Francisco is a blast, right?"

"You can't. You need to work, remember?" Kate reminded him. "I know, but Erin, ugh! I can't imagine what kind of thing she would do to me after what happened today."

"You can find a reason to get out," Kate said. "Say that you have a meeting outside, or tell Mai to accompany you. She can repel Erin from doing something."

Henry stopped his car at the departure gate. He took out the luggage from the trunk and stood in front of Kate before she entered the departure gate, "See you next week in Toronto."

Kate saw that Henry looked sad just because she would be in San Francisco for a week. So she tiptoed and kissed his lips, "Don't be so sad, handsome. It's just a week."

Henry was stunned by the kiss because this was the first time Kate actually kissed him in public. 

But before Henry could react, Kate already left him alone as he tried to recover from the kiss.

Henry gently traced his lips with his thumb and murmured, "Damn, she has gotten more courageous. She got me excited in the middle of the day."

Thus, Henry entered his car and called Michael as he drove out of the airport.

It didn't take long for Michael to pick up the call.

"Yes, Boss?" 

"Where are you now, Michael," Henry asked.

"I'm in Nuuk, Greenland," he replied. "And yes, it's so fucking cold in here. I prefer California's weather."

Henry laughed. He never went to Greenland before and had no intention of doing so. But since Kate wanted to throw Erin into a frozen tundra, Greenland is the best place for it.

Besides, he also wanted to enjoy his first time watching Aurora with Kate.

"We're going to Canada first so it won't rouse her suspicion, and then we will go straight to Greenland after that," Henry said. "Make sure that everything has been prepared in a week."

"Yeah, yeah," Michael said. "Don't forget about your promise."

"I know. I will make you a permanent co-manager in the office in exchange for handling this, right?" Henry said. "Don't worry, you will have all the time in your life to talk with Mai. The only problem is, can you even talk to her properly? Hahahah!"

Michael was already too exhausted with so many things he had to do in Nuuk. So he said, "Yeah, tease me like that and I will cancel your aurora trip with Kate. I know that you've been looking forward to it, Henry."

Henry stopped laughing immediately, knowing that his trip with Kate was in danger, "Alright, alright, just do your job properly. We have to make this plan perfect, so we will get what we want, Michael."

Beep.

Michael hung up the call. He put his phone inside his pocket and then turned around to talk with the middle-aged man in front of him.

Michael spoke in Danish with the middle-aged man, "I want to prepare for a cabin in the middle of nowhere, possibly a few kilometers away from the nearest village. I want it to be isolated as much as possible."

"Oh?" The rugged middle-aged man raised his brow. "This is the weirdest request I ever had. Young man, you will be in a lot of danger if you're isolated in the middle of nowhere, especially in the frozen land during winter. It will be so dark and bone-chilling cold that you might die if you get sick during a snowstorm, nobody will be able to help you if that happens."

"That's what I want," Michael replied. "I want her to suffer."
