Inside the office, the security guard came in to chase Kylie out of the place.
Samuel stared at the lunch on the coffee table and suddenly lost his appetite.
Kylie was infuriated after she was chased out of the place.
She went to Kathleen and get to the bottom of it all.
At the time, Kathleen and the others had just finished working and were getting ready to go home.
They ran into each other in the lobby.
“Kathleen Johnson, you are too evil. You got me in trouble!” growled Kylie angrily.
Kathleen calmly replied, “Me? Getting you in trouble?”
“Yes! You told me to get some lunch for Samuel, but he ended up chasing me out of there. The two of you must’ve planned this together to embarrass me,” accused Kylie, who was still angry.
“Hey, you’re the one who wanted to go,” said Kathleen to point out the obvious.
“That is not true at all!” replied Kylie through gritted teeth. “I asked you if that was okay, and you said that it’d be fine. You knew that Samuel would chase me out of the place, but you let me go, anyway. That is definitely a con!”
Kathleen chuckled upon hearing those stupid thoughts. “What kind of logic is that? I also told you to drop dead, but you’re still here, aren’t you? Besides, I’m not the boss of Macari Group and can’t do anything about what happens there, so stop making a fool of yourself.”
“How are you not the boss?” refuted Kylie angrily as jealousy overwhelmed her. “Samuel told me the truth earlier. When the two of you got divorced, he gave you everything he had, so you are now the largest shareholder of Macari Group! Your net worth is over a hundred billion now.”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Steve and the others stared at Kathleen in surprise as well.
She is loaded.
“That is not true,” replied Kathleen.
“You can ask around if you don’t believe me,” uttered Kylie who was on the verge of crying. “You’re the bully who embarrassed me.”
“Kylie, quit being so shameless already,” warned Kathleen as she glared frostily at the angry lady. “Do you really think I can’t kick you out of here? All I did was look the other way and didn’t let your company put you on hold for a few years. I didn’t ask the production team to chase you away either, but that doesn’t mean I am incapable of punishing you.”
Kylie was stunned.
“Stop being ridiculous because if you mess with me again, I will push back!” continued Kathleen mercilessly.
Kylie started trembling and sobbing.
With that, Kathleen turned to the others and said, “Let’s go.”
Everyone else nodded.
Kylie hesitated for a moment before she left with the crowd.
That afternoon, the filming was paused momentarily.
The production team had to go to a meeting and talk about whether they wanted to keep Kylie hired.
Kathleen packed her things and left soon after.
She drove all the way to Florinia Manor, but she didn’t get out of the car. She simply sat there quietly.
It didn’t take long before Sebastian showed up from the front door.
“Ms. Johnson, please come in and sit inside,” said Sebastian politely.
Kathleen stared nonchalantly at the guy and replied, “I am waiting for Samuel.”
“He is on his way home,” informed Sebastian. “He learned that you are here, so he’s coming home early. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be here until nine or ten o’clock at night.”
Kathleen replied stoically, “That has nothing to do with me.”
Sebastian didn’t respond to that statement. “Uhm, maybe you should wait inside, anyway. Mr. Macari would insist that you enter the house after he’s home.”
Kathleen hesitated for a moment before she got out of the car and entered the house with Sebastian.
The place remained unchanged and looked exactly the same as it did when she left about a year ago.
After she reached the mansion’s front door, she paused and asked, “Is Nicolette living here?”
Sebastian was taken aback. “What are you talking about, Ms. Johnson? This is the home that Mr. Macari has specially built for you and only you, so why would anyone else be here? Mr. Macari has been living on his own in this place over the past year.”
“Ah, so Nicolette isn’t living here,” murmured Kathleen. She didn’t catch the message Sebastian was implicitly sending.
Kathleen had sent someone to investigate the matter, but she still couldn’t figure out where Samuel had hidden Nicolette at.
At first, she thought that he would hide Nicolette at the least expected place.
Huh, I guess that is not the case.
Kathleen entered the place with Sebastian, then sat down in the living room.
