228: Chapter 228

Chapter 228

But before she left the apartment to meet Matt, she had to call her man first to ensure there would be no misunderstanding between them later.2

After all, Mister possessive wouldn't be like it if she suddenly met with her soon-to-be ex-husband without informing him first.

Kate worried a bit, since she always had to tell Henry about her activity. 

"I don't know if this is a healthy relationship or not. But it's much easier to tell Henry about everything rather than having a huge fight with him later on."

Thus, Kate got up from the sofa and decided not to dress up. She only wore a plain white shirt, a jacket to cover her slight belly bump, and a skirt to give that meek lady vibes. 

She drove her car to the nearest bank, as she didn't have ten grand cash. While in the car, she finally called Henry.

It only took about two minutes for Henry to pick up, which was a surprise, because he'd usually answer in less than thirty seconds.

"Do you need anything, love?" Henry asked. His tone was gentle, but Kate could sense that he was in a hurry for some reason.

"Where are you right now, Henry?"

"I'm in a meeting with the executives in my dad's office. I'm presenting the project that will get the publishing more capital injection," Henry replied. 

Kate had to admit that Henry had proven himself a competent CEO.

At first, she thought Henry would be that snobby rich kid who wouldn't survive a month as the CEO of a busy publishing company. But he proved her wrong.

He was efficient and smart at handling every business deal.

He also came up with a new project that would help to boost their sales and increase their capital injection from the parent company. 

"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to tell you that I'm meeting Matt right now. I have a plan that will definitely help me in the court," Kate said lightly. "I'm still on the road, talk to you later, honey. Bye."

"WAIT—WHAT?!"

Beep.

Kate chuckled as she saw that Henry began blasting her phone with calls. She wanted to ignore him, but she decided to pick it up again after the fifth call.

"Kate, what are you planning?! Where are you right now? Tell me, and I will be there soon!" Henry asked as he panicked. 

"I don't want you to go with me, Henry. I know you won't be able to hold yourself to punch him in the face, and you are honestly too eye-catching to watch over me," Kate said truthfully. 

Henry was a very handsome hunk. He was tall, with an imposing figure and intimidating, emerald eyes. He would instantly become the center of attention in the whole area, and Kate didn't want that to happen.

"What in the—" Henry was speechless. Kate suddenly planned something without consulting him first. He was in the middle of a meeting with the executives now, but he was afraid that Kate would be in danger, so he wanted to postpone the meeting.

Besides, this company would be his sooner or later. There was no need to cater so much to these executives when he'd be their boss in the future. 

But before he could say anything, Kate suddenly said, "And don't think about postponing your meeting."

"Wha—How did you know?!"

"I know what's on your mind, Mr. Grant," Kate said calmly. "Go do your job as a good CEO and get us some capital injection. I'm doing this myself."

"No, I won't allow it," Henry insisted. "What if that bastard did something to you? And why the hell did you not tell me about your plan before?! I would've postponed this meeting from the beginning!"

"Well, this idea comes up because he tries to blackmail me as well. I will use this as my weapon," Kate said lightly. "It's going smoothly right now, and I won't let your flashy ass ruin it!"

Kate was about to hang up the call, but Henry quickly stopped her, "Wait! I promise I won't come, but you must promise me a few things first!"

"What is it?" Kate asked. 

Henry was relieved that Kate would at least listen to him first. 

Since he knew he couldn't stop Kate and her pride and courage, all he could do was take preventive measures.

"First, you have to tell me everything after you're done with whatever plan you have," Henry said. "Second, I will still send a bodyguard to you. How about I send Mai and Michael to follow you? They can act as a couple sitting not far from your seat, so Matt wouldn't suspect a thing. This is the only guard I can provide since you don't want me there."

Kate considered it for a moment, then replied, "Alright, I will send the cafe address to Mai. You should tell Michael about it, so they can stay there before Matt and I."

"Yes, I'll call him now," Henry said. "… be careful, Love. I don't want you and our baby to get hurt."

Kate chuckled, "Don't be such a worrywart, honey. I'm not going to war. I'll tell you everything once I'm done."

Beep.

"So cute," Kate smiled. She had to admit that it felt good to be pampered and protected because she had never felt that when she was with Matt, not even when they were dating in high school.

He was always the same lazy and insensitive prick, and his insensitiveness rubbed on Kate, making her numb and, thus, forcing her to put up a tough upfront so she wouldn't get hurt.

Kate parked her car in front of the bank. Before she walked in, she texted Mai first.

—

To: Mai

Kate: *Lombard Cafe address sent*

Kate: I'm in the bank right now. Go to that cafe with Michael, and pose as a couple having lunch together. Book a seat at the corner of the cafe, the area with less noise. I will be there soon.
