Chapter 66
Catherine’s POV
Leo’s eyes swiveled. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Does the kids’ father look like me?”
I was stunned. Then, I almost wanted to laugh out loud, but I had to resist.
Yeah, their father was your brother. Of course, he looked like you.
But I didn’t want Leo to know who the kids’ father was right now. I just wanted to send Leo away quickly.
“Why do you ask?” I calmed down a little. Actually, I had come to realize that Leo would not be able to do anything to my kids. They were under Blake’s protection, and there was nothing Leo could do.
“You know who I am. I am the younger brother of the Lycan King, and I am also a star. Do you have any idea what impact this photo will have on me?” Speaking of this, Leo pulled a long face.
I was stunned for a second, and then I said apologetically, “I am sorry about that. But I did not know that they would take pictures of my kids. It was not my intention.”
Leo sneered, “I thought you were trying to attract my attention and make the two kids famous by using me.”
“I’ve never done that, and I don’t want my kids to be famous,” I explained in a hurry, afraid that I would be horribly mistaken.
Leo smiled. “Fine. I’ll let you pass. But I want to give you a chance today. A perfect chance to make your kids famous. Let them sign a contract with my company, and I will turn them into child stars.”
“What?” I asked in disbelief.
Leo continued to smile. “I know you’ll be surprised to hear me say this. Are you excited? Are you being caught off guard by happiness? Don’t worry. I promise that the two kids will have a very bright future. And you don’t need to work hard anymore. You just need to sit at home and wait for the money to come to you. Because you are very lucky. You gave birth to two beautiful kids. And I am the talent scout here. I found them and was willing to give them a chance…”
“Stop. Say no more. I will not let my children be stars at such a young age. This line of work doesn’t work for them, and I won’t agree either. Thanks for the generous offer,” I interrupted him and refused him firmly.
This time, it was Leo who was dumbfounded. He could not believe that I rejected him just like that.
“Are you sure? It’s a rare opportunity. I won’t just choose any random kids,” Leo said, as if it was indeed a fabulous opportunity.
I thought, ‘If Blake heard what you said, he’d probably punch you in the face.’ © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
But I wouldn’t mention Blake’s name, because I didn’t want to raise discussion in the company.
“I’m sure!” I answered calmly.
“I… You are the stupidest woman I have ever met.” Leo was angry.
I was stunned for a second, and then my tone became sarcastic, “You swore just because I didn’t say yes to your proposal? Indeed, anyone can be a big star nowadays!”
I had a very good impression of Leo at first. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned him down, he called me stupid.
“Do you know the consequences of offending me?” Leo’s face instantly became sullen, and there was a dangerous look in his eyes
“No. But I’m not scared!” I crossed my arins in front of my chest, not compromising at all.
Leo stared at me with his eyes wide open.
“Do you believe that I will make you jobless?” Leo narrowed his eyes and threatened.
I was stunned. Then, I couldn’t help but lower my head and laugh.
I laughed because I thought his words were funny, but maybe Leo thought I was laughing at his incompetence.
“What are you laughing at?” asked Leo with a frown.
I quickly regained my serious look and said lightly, “I was just amused by your words. You said that you would make me jobless? Sure. Why don’t you go ahead and try?”
I glanced at him and lowered my head to laugh again.
Seeing that I was still laughing, Leo was so furious that his handsome face turned red. He immediately turned and opened the door. “Guy, get your ass in here!”
Guy was the person in charge of the entire Design Department of the Chavez Group. When he heard Leo’s roar, he hurriedly ran over.
“Mr. Chavez, what can I do for you?” Guy knew who Leo was.
Leo turned around and stared at me. He said angrily, “Fire her. Now.”
“What?” Guy didn’t see this coming at all.
Guy stared at me and questioned me angrily, “Catherine, what did you do? How dare you offend Mr. Chavez?”
Guy didn’t know my relationship with Blake. He supposed that I had snubbed Leo and roared at me at once.
I said casually, “I didn’t offend him. I just turned down his proposal. If he wants to fire me just because of this, well, I find that unfair to me.”
“Unfair to you? Do you know who he is? He is the Prince of the royal family, the younger brother of Lycan King.” Guy wasn’t satisfied with my attitude.
Melinda rushed over. “Mr. Tenny, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Guy said angrily, “Melinda, you are her boss. Now, she has offended the royal family. How do you propose to settle this?”
Melinda looked up and saw Leo. She was shocked. Then, she heard what Guy said. She quickly walked over and grabbed my hand. “Catherine, how did you offend Leo?”
I was indeed amused by Leo. All I did was turn him down and refuse to let my kids become stars. And so far as he was concerned, I offended him. Was he unreasonable or what?
“Melinda, I didn’t offend him. I just didn’t agree to his request.” I suddenly felt a bit guilty.
Because if I came clean, Melinda would know that I had kids. Also, I was afraid that Leo would mention the kids again. In a panic, I immediately said, “Mr. Tenny, I’ll make it easier for you. I’ll resign now.”
Anyway, I would just be gone for half a day. I would be back tomorrow.
There were certain things that couldn’t be said here, in front of so many people. I had to get Blake to take care of this.
Melinda did not eenert that I would resion voluntarily she hurriedly said “Catherine there’s no need for that must
