To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 7: Unexpected

‘Pick me up at the gate of the company.’

Katherine felt complicated when she said this out. She bit her red lips tightly, tears filling in her eyes.

Yesterday, when Spencer asked her to divorce Charlie, she realized that at some point, this man had

already occupied some place in her heart.

She couldn't get divorced with him.

For three years, no matter how useless this man was, he had been with her all the time.

No matter how much humiliation and ridicule he received, he just ignored them and worked hard

without complaining. All he gave her was the bright smile.

Of course, sometime Katherine would be dissatisfied with Charlie due to those ridicule. But more often,

she felt very comfortable to be with Charlie. She didn’t have to think whether she would be framed by

others or be laughed at by other relatives in the family.

For a long time, without hearing a reply, Katherine frowned and said, "If you don't want to, then forget

it!"

Charlie came back to his senses. He sat up and looked happy, "Yes, I want to. I’m willing...!"

At this moment, Katherine couldn't help but burst into tears, ‘It turns out that what he wants is not too

much.’

...

The next day, in the meeting room in the Hunt Group.

"Huh? Are you sure?"

Ewan laughed, hung up the phone, and said with a weird look, "I just received news that Katherine

actually let Charlie ride a battery car to take her to Chengyu Group. How funny it is!"

"What?!"

"What a big company Chengyu Group is! It's said that their big boss comes from S City. Everyone who

goes to talk about cooperation all gets dressed well. Katherine knows that she can't complete the task.

So she just gave up!"

A group of young people laughed.

Ewan tapped his fingers on the table and said coldly, "If she can't complete the task, she has to get out

of the company. In the future, Katherine's family will have no relationship with the company. At that

time, her family can’t get any property from the company!"

"Ewan, what if Katherine denies it?" a young man asked.

"Yeah, she is Grandma’s granddaughter after all. Although Grandma doesn't like her, she is indeed

Grandma’s granddaughter. If she goes to beg Grandma, Grandma might let her go!"

Ewan sneered, "Do you think Grandma is willing to help her or help me? By then, you will all be on my

side and put pressure on Grandma together. It’s absolutely no problem!"

"Don't worry. We will always be on your side, Ewan."

A group of young people showed their loyalty to Ewan. Ewan was extremely proud. He had already

thought how to humiliate and ridicule Katherine when she came back.

At the entrance of Chengyu Group.

Charlie stopped the battery car. Seeing Katherine was so nervous and unable to move, he laughed.

"Don't be nervous. You just go in and tell them your name. Then someone will receive you."

Katherine would be a little suspicious, "Really? Charlie, I am still a little bit worried. Even if the project

leader is your classmate, this project is so important. Is your classmate relationship reliable?"

"I saved his life!"

"What?"

Charlie began to make up stories again, his expression extremely serious, "When we were in college,

one day, we crossed the road. If it weren't for me to take the risk to save him, he would be killed by a

car. He always thinks I’m his savior. He wants to repay me. This is the first time I ask him for help. So

just rest assured!"

"Look, the receptionist has come out. Go!"

A beautiful lady in a small gray lady's suit walked out of the door of Chengyu Group. Katherine

gathered courage and walked over. Before she could even speak, she heard the beautiful lady ask,

"Are you Katherine, Miss Hunt?"

"Uh, yes."

The secretary smiled politely, "Miss Hunt, please come with me. Our manager has been waiting for a

long time."

"What? You manager has been waiting for a long time?"

Those first-class families and companies in J City hadn't even seen the person in charge. Now the

general manager of Chengyu Group had already waited for her. Such a treat...

Katherine looked back and found that Charlie nodded to her.

At this moment, she finally felt relieved. At the same time, she had an unspeakable excitement. If the

contract was done, not only could she make Ewan shut up, but her family's status in the company

would also rise sharply.

When she came to the manager's office, a middle-aged man in his early thirties walked quickly to her.

"Miss Hunt, I'm Sidney Watson, the general manager of Chengyu Group, and also the person in charge

of the plot in Binhu District. Come on, please have a seat."

"Go to pour a cup of tea for Miss Hunt!"

"Okay, Sir."

Such enthusiasm made Katherine feel a little nervous.

After the secretary served the tea, Katherine said, "Mr. Watson, I..."

"Miss Hunt needn't say much. I understand."

The secretary handed the two contracts to Sidney. Sidney handed one to Katherine and said, "The

contract is ready. Check it. If you think it's okay, we can sign it now."

"The contract is ready? This..."

Katherine was completely dumbfounded. This was too hasty!

But when she thought that Charlie was Sidney's savior, she figured it out. Obviously, Sidney was that

kind of person who was considerate in return, which was very rare. Katherine thought that she could

get along well with him in future cooperation.

Opening the contract, Katherine felt shocked. The conditions provided by Chengyu Group were very

good... Katherine didn't expect that Chengyu Group would give her so many benefits.

"Mr. Watson, are you sure you didn't joke with me?" Katherine confirmed again.

"Of course not, the big boss of our group has already reviewed and approved this contract, otherwise I

won't be able to show it to you. Miss Hunt, are there any problems or questions about the contract?"

Katherine shook her head quickly, her heart pounding fast, "No problem. It’s very, very good!"

"Then sign it!"

After the process was completed, Katherine held the contract with the official seal of Chengyu Group

on it and staggered out of the building. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, she felt that

everything seemed to be a dream.

"Why are you standing here so blankly? Has the contract been signed?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you look so desperate?" Charlie smiled and rode the battery car, "Come on. Get on. I

take you to the company!"

On the way to the company, Katherine received a call from Ewan. At Charlie's request, she did not say

that she had signed the contract, only said that she was on her way back to the company.

"By the way, don't tell anyone that I and the manager of Chengyu Group are classmates. The contract

is signed by yourself. It has nothing to do with me, understand?"

Katherine felt puzzled, "Why?"

"I will tell you later!"

At this moment, in the meeting room of the Hunt Group.

"Hahaha!"

A group of young people laughed out. Ewan shook his head and teased, "Tsk-tsk, how embarrassed

she would be. Just a few minutes, she said she was on the way back to the company. She must be

driven out of Chengyu Group!"

"Haha… When Katherine comes back, I must let her express the feelings of being kicked out." Maggie,

who wore heavy makeup, ridiculed Katherine while applying makeup.

"Squeak!"

At this time, the chunky young man ran in and said, "She’s already arrived at the door of the company.

Everyone gets ready to welcome her."

Everyone was sitting up.

Not long after, the door of the meeting room opened. Ewan and others were about to "welcome"

Katherine. But they found that Katherine had come in with Old Lady Hunt, so they had to give up.

"Oh, our great hero is back!" Maggie mocked.

"Katherine, did you not forget what you said yesterday? Grandma also heard it. Don't want to deny it!"

Ewan couldn't wait.

Katherine smiled and asked, "Don't forget what you said!"

"Naturally, I will not forget. But if you don't complete the task, what I said won’t be much important. But

it's you. Hurry up to pack up and leave."

Ewan leaned on the soft chair. He was very sure. Because his men told him that Katherine was in a

state of despair when she walked out of Chengyu Group Building. It was obvious that she failed.

There was no doubt!

"What if I get the contract?"

"Haha... What…" Ewan's voice stopped abruptly. He saw Katherine take out a contract from the folder

and handed it to Old Lady Hunt.

"Grandma, this is a contract. Please have a look!"

In an instant, Ewan, Maggie and others seemed so shocked, their eyes almost popping out.
