Chapter 37

It was a strange yet familiar scent to Cedrick, and he had only ever caught a whiff of it on one person.

He narrowed his eyes and scanned the room before locking onto a certain spot. He thought back to the

unlocked door and smirked in realization.

The conservation ceased, and Catelyn’s heart throbbed with anxiety. She contemplated whether she

should lift the tablecloth to check on the situation outside when suddenly, a pair of shiny black leather

shoes appeared right before her eyes as the man sat down on the chair near her.

The strong presence of the man overwhelmed her. Startled, she immediately moved deeper inside to

avoid Cedrick’s long legs. However, two pairs of feet appeared behind her as Charles and Eason took

their seats as well.

Catelyn was left with no other way but to move toward another corner desperately, hoping that they

would not discover her.

“Master Cedrick, if we manage to buy Millions Pharmaceutical out, it’ll provide us with tremendous aid in

entering the pharmaceutical field. If,”

“Now that we’re here, let’s not talk about work for now,” Cedrick interrupted Charles lazily and signaled

him to change the subject. “Sit, and let’s play a few games.”

Charles and Eason gave each other a confused look, both wondering as to why Cedrick was in such a

playful mood. However, they were never ones to defy Cedrick’s orders; it was extremely torturing to work

with high efficiency 16 hours a day.

The three of them sat down, forming a triangle shape. The poker table happened to be triangle in shape

as well, so each one of them was seated in one direction. Catelyn could only carefully try to find a spot in

between the three when suddenly, Cedrick crossed his legs, and the tip of his shoes moved past the

tablecloth and toward Catelyn.

Startled by his sudden movement, Catelyn desperately moved to the side and curled up in fear of being

discovered. If they saw her hiding under the table, no words or

explanation would be able to excuse her.

She hastily silenced her phone and thought to herself, ‘What now? I can’t go out now that I’ve overheard

secrets that I wasn’t supposed to! If I don’t go out and I miss the time to meet with John, he’ll send

people to harass Stella, and our peaceful lives will be ruined!’

At that moment, Catelyn was so nervous that she began sweating.

Inside the enormous room, there was nothing but silence, except for the sound of the three playing cards

and the occasional conversation that mentioned nothing of importance.

The space underneath the table was not at all spacious, which forced Catelyn to crouch. As time went

by, it was not even half an hour before she started feeling numb as though the blood flow to her legs had

been cut off.

What troubled her most was that Cedrick’s legs were far too long, and when he crossed his legs or

moved them around, she would have to adjust her position accordingly. The stress had left Catelyn

feeling as though she was about to go crazy.

Finally, after some time, the sky began to turn dark. Just when Catelyn felt that she was about to turn into

a statue, the intercom of the room started ringing.

It was far away from her and she could not tell what had been said, but after the call, Eason turned with

an oddly serious expression to look at Cedrick while keeping a hand on the speaker
