CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 176

Hector came up and said, "Hi, Mr. Bennett invited me, and you can check with him by phone."

The name that he just mentioned drew the attention of the receptionist.

She then soon dialed Mr. Bennett, and put down the phone after a brief conversation with him.

Instead of allowing Hector to go upstairs, she just simply asked him to wait for a while.

Standing by the side of Hector, Katherine was a little confused by the situation.

'Wait, is that Hector has never been showing himself here before?' Katherine thought to herself.

She then stepped forwards and looked at the receptionist, "Excuse me, but how long have you been working here?"

The receptionist turned to Katherine with a seemingly flustered look, and answered hastily, "Well, about five years."

Katherine nodded. Working in the place for nearly five years, she had never heard of the name of Hector, which indicated that Hector was quite an unpopular member of the family.

It was not long before they saw a man come out of the elevator.

He was a man seemingly much older than Hector.

The man caught sight of Hector, and plainly said, "Here you are."

At the next second, he was stunned to see Katherine standing aside.

Katherine noiselessly gave a sigh, thinking that she would still need some time to get used to her spread reputation.

Hector turned to Katherine and introduced, "This is David, my oldest brother." The tone in which he ushered out the relationship between him and David was kind of reluctant.

Katherine slightly nodded her head to David, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Grant." David greeted Katherine in a mannerly way.

Katherine laughed softly and said, "It's OK to just simply call me Katherine. I'm kind of embarrassed hearing others call me Mrs. Grant over and over again."

David offered an awkward smile and then remained silent afterwards.

He led the two into the elevator and went upstairs.

Most of the office spaces were quite alike in terms of patterns.

They headed to the personnel department and processed the employment of Hector.

David standing aside, repeatedly reminding the staff of temporarily giving Hector a position of deputy general manager, sending him to assistant manager Tomas's department and learning under his guidance.

The staff was for the moment dumbfounded to hear his words, while soon nodded, "OK, I understood."

Hector naturally lifted the corner of his lips, as Katherine was looking over with her hands put on her back and finding nothing unusual.

Then, he symbolically signed a paper form, and then was led into the next-door meeting room together with Katherine.

The meeting room was neither too large nor too small. As the two sat down, a man suddenly went inside the room as well.

The man was seemingly the same age as Hector. He looked at Hector and asked aggressively, "Why you're back?"

Silently, Hector even disdained to turn to him.

The man was obviously a little agitated, came up and smacked his hand down on the desk in front of Hector, "Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Hector leaned on the chair and kept the same expression on her face.

Katherine was somehow annoyed by the inappropriate manner of the man. She said, "Hey, what you're doing? You really shocked me!"

The man turned to Katherine with a quite impatient expression on his face, "Who the hell are…"

He stopped continuing in the middle of his speech as he had his eyes fixed on Katherine's face in concentration.

Katherine frowned, and continued with her face a little twisted out of anger, "Come on, just say it!"

The man frowned slowly and asked, "Are you Marshall's wife?"

"So what? You know my husband?" Katherine sneered and said.

Hearing the words of Katherine, with the expression on his face becoming a little complicated, he turned to Hector and nodded, "Well, I see. I was just wondering why they suddenly changed your position, and now everything seems clear to me: It seems that you have found yourself a strong ally, the Family Grant, haven't you?"

Katherine laughed and turned to Hector, "Now, I see that anyone is acceptable for this company, including this pathetic fellow, isn't it?"

The man glared at Katherine, without any response.

At the next moment, a lady pushed the door and stepped into the room.

Standing by the door, she looked at the arrogant man and said, "What are you doing right here, Patrick? Stop your meaningless talking with these people, come out and help us. We're almost choked by the mountainous business!"

Patrick stunned, turned around and looked at the woman, "Sis, Hector is back! With a position of deputy general manager!"

The woman seemed disdainful to even look at Hector. She simply said, "Just come out right now."

Patrick, glaring at Hector with resentment, turned around and left the room.

As the door was closed, Katherine looked at Hector and asked, "I'm wondering whether the three people we have seen today are…"

"Yes, you are right. they're the members of my family." Hector smiled.

They were the so-called Hector’s siblings.
