214: Chapter 214

Chapter 214

"So, I'd appreciate it if you could persuade Henry to give me a good job in one of his companies since his family has a lot of businesses, right?"2

"Oh? I can do that," Kate nodded. "Do you have any qualifications in literature?"

"Unfortunately, no, Ma'am," Mindy replied. "I worked as an accountant for my previous job, and if possible, I'd want to be in the same position after I get hired."

"Hm, alright then. But that means you won't be able to work with me," Kate said. 

"Thank you for your offer, Ma'am. But I have zero interest in literature. I prefer to work as an accountant," Mindy said.

Kate was satisfied with her answer and added, "Well, if that's your final decision, then I will tell Henry to give you a proper position. Take this as a gratitude from me because you've helped me to sort out my feelings."

Kate got up from her chair and walked towards Mindy.

Mindy also did the same, and she replied with a sincere smile, "It's my pleasure to help, Kate. I'm actually happy that Henry finally found the woman he truly loved, so he wouldn't be trapped in so many loveless relationships."

Henry was waiting outside, leaning on the wall while staring at the door of Apartment 12.5, hoping that Mindy would do her job well so Kate could finally let go of her suspicion.

He disliked having to prove his innocence like this because he expected Kate to believe him no matter what, just like how he wanted to believe her no matter what.

'But I guess this insecurity and suspicion is mutual,' Henry thought. 'I also can't trust her when she said she wants to meet with Graham without my presence. I keep thinking that they'd do something behind my back.'

This was the first time Henry ever cared so much for someone else's opinion. Usually, he wouldn't even bat an eye when one of his ex-girlfriends threatened to kill themselves if Henry broke up with them.

But with Kate…

Even a frown from her was enough to make him restless.

Click.

The door was finally opened from the inside, and he saw Kate and Mindy, who seemed to be in perfect condition.

Henry was glad that they could solve this problem civilly. He walked towards Kate and stood before her, staring at her silently while the latter did the same to Henry.

They were in this position for a while, trying to pry on each other's feelings as they had their suspicions before.

"Uh, I'll leave now. Goodbye, Kate, Boss."

"Hm," Henry nodded. He glanced at Mindy for a split second before gazing at Kate. "Did you tell my fiance you'll work in one of my companies?"

"Yes, Sir. I asked her to persuade you, so I can also get a better position," Mindy confirmed.

Henry smiled as his gaze softened toward his beloved, "Well, there is nothing you need to do now. You can leave, Mindy. Don't worry about your job."

"Thank you, Boss."

Henry waited until Mindy entered the elevator, so only two of them were on this floor. 

Kate's cheeks reddened when Henry stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Do you believe me now, Kitty?"

Kate sighed, hugged him, and buried her face in his strong chest, "I'm sorry, Henry. I accused you without listening to your explanation at all. I should've understood that you're different from Matt. I know that you'll never hurt me, right?"

Henry's lips thinned as Kate threw such a difficult question.

He didn't know what would happen in the future. 

Maybe things wouldn't be as smooth-sailing, and problems might arise later.

He couldn't promise that everything would be smooth and problem-free, not when his family was still watching his every move, and he had to gain Marlon's approval without involving Kate.

But he still wanted to protect her with all his heart, so he promised, "I will protect you, no matter what, Katherine. Mark my words."

"Mm," Kate nodded lightly. She clutched Henry's shirt and asked, "Can we stop this fight? I am too tired. I want to have a good and comfortable life with you."

"I also want to stop fighting with you. My mind is about to explode whenever we argue," Henry agreed. "Since you want to meet with Graham, so be it. You can go. I won't disturb you."

Henry said that to Kate to appease her because he didn't want to fight with her again.

But that didn't mean he'd let her go completely. He'd try to intimidate Graham first, and if it didn't work, he'd dispatch Michael to watch over them.

And if Kate refused to be accompanied by Michael, he'd contact La Fayette cafe and ask them for CCTV footage to ensure they weren't doing anything intimate. 

Henry knew that he was being possessive and unreasonable again.

He believes that Kate wouldn't try to do anything with Graham, but what about that bastard? Henry didn't trust him. 

As a man, Henry knew what kind of dirty mind Graham had for his beloved. Kate's charm enamored Graham, and it was obvious he was thinking about slowly crawling inside Kate's heart, knowing Kate must've preferred a stable man around her age. 

"Actually, I've been thinking about meeting with Graham after our fight before," Kate said. "He texted and asked me about the meeting, and I told him we will reschedule lunch instead of brunch, so you can join us."

"If you still can't join us for the meeting, then I will reschedule it again to seven, so we can have dinner first before we meet him, right?"

Henry was stunned by Kate's initiative. He didn't expect her to take him seriously after their fight.

"So, what do you think, Henry? Can you go during lunch with me?" Kate asked in a low voice. "I won't go if you can't."

"Kitty…" Henry hugged her tighter and kissed her hair, "Thank you for listening to me. I am more than willing. Let's go and meet him together."
