"I'm still hungry!" Kathryn grumbled. Roast mutton was her favorite, but that uninvited guest had made even that seem tasteless.Cara was shocked when she heard that Kathryn was still hungry. "Is Mr. Chris back, then?" she asked.The moment Chris was mentioned, Kathryn buried her head in a cushion. In her mind, she cried out, "He's gone off to see his true love!" Yet, all she could utter was a "no."At the thought of his true love, Kathryn was speechless. How did someone with Chris' taste end up with Mia? It was so troublesome!Cara nodded. "Shall I make pasta, then?""Okay," Kathryn said with a nod. She loved pasta, and she thought the pasta she made was great. But Chris didn't seem to like it.And just like that, the cooking skills she'd learned since childhood became worthless.When Cara entered the kitchen, Kathryn hurriedly picked up her phone and tried to call Tally. But then she remembered what Markus had said.Tally was probably in his office right now, so after some

That cold, sharp counter question almost destroyed Tally's defenses, but she held on and said as calmly as possible, "Of course there wasn't?""How so?" How so, indeed. Was she still being stubborn, or was she just plain clueless?"May I remind you that the report is Kathryn's?" Markus continued, his tone growing sharper."Oh, that's true. But I was the one who got it wrong."Markus held that sharp gaze toward her, waiting for whatever she would say next. Tally felt a little guilty because of that, but she held on. "My father was forcing me to marry. I wanted that report for myself, but I accidentally said Kathryn's name during the phone call. That's how the doctor got confused," she lied seriously.Markus said nothing and took a sip of water. His uncaring attitude made it clear that he didn't believe a word of her bullshit. That scared Tally a lot. Even though she kept telling herself she didn't need to be scared because he wasn't her actual boss, Markus was too good at inves

Could Tally say she was mistaken? She obviously couldn't because once words were uttered, they could never be taken back. If she tried to take back what she said, she'd essentially be refuting everything in front of Markus. That would just land her in more trouble. After some thinking, Tally nodded. "I swear, everything I just said is true.""So you're saying Kathryn lied, am I right?""What did he mean by 'Am I right'?" Tally wondered, feeling like she was going mad. Markus' gaze was so sharp. She felt that responding with either a yes or a no could both be the wrong choice!Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what she said, but what I said is all true."Only then did Tally realize she had no clue what Kathryn said. She considered the possibility of Markus bluffing to test her. She decided the only way out was to give him zero reason to be suspicious.Even if he was already suspicious, her job was to stop that suspicion from deepening. And so, Tally t

Kathryn remembered that Tally was braver than anyone, which slightly reassured her. Tally only texted around three o'clock, saying, "I feel like I just died!""So Mr. Hunt did interrogate you?" Kathryn texted back."Why didn't you tell me beforehand if you knew?" Tally felt like she wanted to die. Kathryn's secret was getting really hard to cover up. Nothing happened today, but Markus and Chris were keeping such a close eye on them. They'd get busted sooner or later."I wanted to, but I couldn't. He called Mr. Albert directly," Kathryn said. Under such a pressuring gaze, she didn't even dare move, let alone contact Tally."We're doomed!"Even without seeing Tally's face, Kathryn could tell it was pale. The events of today had deeply frightened them. Everything had happened so suddenly.Kathryn looked up. Chris hadn't come out of the study since he entered it. He was probably in a video call meeting. So, she quickly took her phone to her bedroom, then called Tally."Kathryn, wh

"You'd better pipe down and not say anything, got it?" Tally said seriously, scared that Kathryn would raise suspicion somehow."What about my baby?"Tally was speechless. Now that Kathryn mentioned the baby, she really wanted to die. How could she have forgotten? She was pregnant!"Haven't you asked Mr. Albert?""I didn't have the guts!"Tally didn't know what to say. What were they going to do now? How did they end up in so much trouble within such a short time? Tally wanted to cry.They didn't dare abort the baby, but Chris was sharp. He'd surely get suspicious if they asked him about having kids. And if he started investigating … Needless to say, they'd be doomed!Kathryn almost cried when she realized Tally had gone silent. "What do we do? We can't hold it off any longer!"The doctor had told them that if they didn't want the baby, they should make a decision as soon as possible. The surgery would be much harder once the baby got too big. Tally couldn't think of anyt

Kathryn's heart sank when she saw Chris' face fall, and she lost the ability to think entirely. Coldness flashed in Chris' eyes as he strode over. Then, he pinched Kathryn's chin and asked coldly, "Children? What do you mean?""W-What exactly did he hear?" Kathryn asked herself. Kathryn opened her eyes, only to find herself looking into Chris' intense gaze. She hastily shut her eyes again.The grip on her chin tightened. "Open your eyes!"Kathryn didn't dare open them. But when Chris' grip tightened again, Kathryn opened her eyes out of pain. She let out a pitiful cry, "Mr. Albert.""What children? Tell me!" His tone got even harsher. What little nerves Kathryn had gathered were destroyed again. She was now completely unable to think. All she could do was look dumbly at Chris."Tell me!""I-I-I-It was Tally!" Kathryn stammered.In a sudden rush of panic, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask what Markus had asked of Tally and what Tally's response had been. What c

In the past, even though everyone worked in the same building, they barely saw each other once a month. Even if they did see each other, they'd be acquaintances at best.But now, Tally was making so many visits to Markus' office. She was a little scared. Wouldn't this make her even more exposed than Kathryn to danger?Tally looked at Markus weakly and asked, "Yes, Mr. Hunt?" even though she truly wanted to ask, "Can you ask everything all at once?"Tally felt like she was being tortured right now. She finally understood why Kathryn was so scared of Chris. It was just … too much!Lately, they've been facing emergencies almost every day. Tally suddenly felt that Kathryn wasn't dumb at all.Of all the assistants Chris' hired over the years, none lasted more than a month, but Kathryn had lasted for years! That proved she wasn't stupid.Still, Tally couldn't help but think that Kathryn was probably scared stupid by now.Markus looked Tally up and down. "Are you pregnant?"Tally was
Bright Future With Him Chapter 161
Tally didn't know how she got out of Markus' office. But he didn't ask any further questions after that. Still, the phrase "three days" rang in her ears like a song she couldn't get out of her head. Tally was unsure if she should tell on Kathryn. Or should she claim she was the one in Chris' room that night?Tally couldn't do it. If she said it was her, Chris would tear her whole family apart. She and her dad would end up homeless. What could she do? What was she supposed to do? Tally had always been smart and calm, but now she was lost. She hastily called Kathryn, but the call ended after just one ring.Tally's grip on the phone tightened. Realizing that Kathryn was probably being interrogated by Chris right now, she took a deep breath. It felt like both of them were backed into a corner.So she picked up the phone again and dialed a different number. This time, the listener picked up very quickly, and before he could say anything, Tally spoke first."Dad, I want to come
