337: Chapter 337

Chapter 337

Henry was busy reading through many documents he needed to start his business. He also needed to check some of the recommended workers from Vernon.  2

Since starting a business requires a few talented people as the higher-ups, Vernon decided to help by recommending all the potential executives in his company. It was such a great help because in a regular situation, there was no way for Henry to gather these professionals at such a short time.

"How about the secretary position, Sir?" Diamond asked as she put another stack of documents on the table. "Mr. Phoenix Gray told me that you might hire someone you know better as a secretary because a secretary handles a few private matters."

Henry nodded, "I actually have someone that I prefer."

"Is it Mrs. Katherine Woods?" Diamond inquired. "I'm sorry, Sir. But I don't think it's wise to let a million-dollar Senior Editor be your secretary."

"No, it's uh…" Henry paused for a moment, thinking if Diamond would get the wrong idea. "I have a friend of mine in university, her name is Mindy, and she is a professional."

'Besides, I also promised to give her a job, but I was too caught up with everything. I guess this is the best way to repay her for the help.'

"If she is currently unemployed, then please get her to work as soon as possible, Sir. I can't handle working under two companies at the same time," Diamond said firmly. After all, she was the secretary of Vernon Phoenix Gray, not Henry Grant. Just the idea of working with these two men at the same time was nightmarish already.

"Sorry, and thanks for the help. I will tell her to come as soon as possible," Henry said.

"Alright, Sir, I will have lunch first. Please text me if you need lunch as well," Diamond said before turning around and leaving.

Henry said nothing. He probably won't have lunch today either.

It had been a week, and his eating schedule had been irregular. He kept thinking about Kate, and always remembered the simple dishes Kate made at home. It might be simple, but it was so delicious that Henry had lost his appetite whenever he had to eat some restaurant lunch.

'It's okay, I will fatten myself up after reuniting with her. I think eating with her is enough to help my appetite,' Henry thought.

As he busied himself in the office, the door was suddenly slammed open, and Diamond showed up again with a tense expression.

Henry frowned, "What's wrong, Diamond?"

"Sir, it's Mr. Graham Hubbard, the renowned divorce lawyer in New York. He suddenly entered the office and demanded to meet you in person."

"Graham?" Henry's frown grew deeper.

He had blocked Graham's phone after the divorce between Kate and Matt was settled. Henry didn't want to do anything with Graham because that bastard was coveting Kate. He didn't want an unnecessary rival when his love life with Kate was already complicated.

"Yes," Diamond nodded. "Sir, do you want me to call the security or do you want to meet him?"

Henry sighed.

He didn't know what Graham wanted to do right now, but it was better to clarify whatever problem he had.

"Let him in, I will have a talk with him."

"So, this is the office of your new company," Graham commented as he entered Henry's CEO office. Henry sat and stared at Graham solemnly, "I don't know how the hell could you get my new company's address, and I don't know what you want to do. But whatever it is, make it quick, I'm busy here."

Graham's lips twitched. He had expected Henry to be unpleasant, but he didn't expect him to be so obvious about it.

'He truly shed all of his fake acts of kindness when Kate wasn't around. What a phony,' Graham sneered.

"I'm here to talk—" Graham said. He walked to the sofa and sat leisurely while facing Henry. "—About you."

"About me? What's there to talk about?" Henry asked while on full guard. He could sense the hostility coming from Graham, so he didn't want to make any slip-ups. "You know that all I'm doing is just trying to start a company, right?"

"… Henry, be honest with me. What do you want from Kate?" Graham asked. "And don't act dumb in front of me, I know what you are scheming."

Henry's eyes peered suspiciously, "What scheme? You're accusing me of random stuff now, huh? But if you really want my answer, then I want to be happy with Kate. I want to have a good life with her, safe and secure from any danger and hostile people."

"I'm starting my own company right now to start my effort to give Kate a good life," Henry said truthfully. "I love her. I'm doing everything for her and our baby."

"Bullshit," Graham called out instantly. He clenched his fist, he couldn't wait to punch Henry for acting like an angel when the reality was far from it. "I know that you want to take her baby and give it to Marlon in exchange for power, right?"

"You are so greedy that you would take Kate's baby and let it die in Marlon's hand just because of a company," Graham gritted his teeth. "You're a piece of shit who tricked an innocent woman to bear your child, only to separate her from her baby later on, right?!"

Henry's gaze deepened. He observed Graham from head to toe; it was surprising that Graham would know about his previous plan, but he had a guess of the one who leaked it.

"Did Sarah tell you about this?"

"So what if she did?" Graham sneered. "Don't try to avoid accountability, Henry Grant. She has nothing to do with your crazy plan!"

"She does," Henry said. "I already annulled my engagement with her. So she becomes very spiteful. She even tried to murder Dahlia a day after I broke off the engagement."

"You—" Graham was speechless. "You really went as far as trying to frame an innocent lady to avoid accountability?!"
