Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 265 

It was an unusual Sunday in Y City.It had been raining for many days, but the sky had cleared up today.

Just as Katherine woke up, the doorbell rang.She quickly changed her clothes and headed downstairs.

Celine was already waiting at the door.

Katherine hurriedly opened the front door.

"You came so early, Celine.Thank you for your hard work," she said and gestured Celine to head inside the house.

Celine politely bowed at Katherine.

"It's my job, Miss Wilson.You don't need to thank me for that," she replied.

As Celine spoke, she handed Katherine the gift the latter asked the former to buy for Cherry's birthday.

"Have you eaten your breakfast?" Katherine asked Celine with a smile.

Katherine took the bag and offered food to Celine again.

"I already ate, Miss Wilson," Celine replied firmly.

"Alright, then.I'll just make one for myself,"

Katherine said and proceeded to walk to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Celine was stunned and stood in silence.

After a while, she bit her lip and regretted what she had said to Katherine.

Celine hesitantly looked at Katherine and thought, ‘What's wrong with you, Celine? Your boss wants to make you breakfast, and you didn't even dare to accept it? What do you think she would feel?’ But since Celine had already said it, she thought it would be useless to dwell over it.

"Then I won't disturb you, Miss," she said and smiled.

Katherine chuckled when she saw how guilty Celine looked.

"Come on in and have a cup of coffee.I know my cooking skills are subpar, but I can make good coffee," she chirped.

Celine scratched her head and awkwardly sat at the dining table.

"I'm sorry for the trouble then, Miss Wilson," she replied.

Katherine glanced at Celine and smiled secretly before turning around to get a coffee cup.

"Suit yourself," she said elegantly.

While waiting, Celine looked around and admired the interior design of the kitchen.

Katherine bought this villa during her sophomore year because she found it hard to commute to school.

However, Katherine barely lived here because she was so busy.

In the end, she graduated without getting her diploma and left the villa vacant because she married Zack.

It was only after the divorce that this place had an owner again.

During that time, Celine was already Katherine's secretary.

Though the villa was fully furnished, Katherine had asked Celine to find someone to renovate it.

At first, Celine had thought that her boss only wanted something simple.

It was only when Katherine handed her unique designs to Celine that the latter realized that she saw things in such a simple way.

From that moment, Celine recognized how Katherine was creative and straightforward in getting things done. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The renovation of the place was time-consuming and very costly.

In fact, it was expensive because some of the designs Katherine wanted required pricey materials.

Celine thought it was alarming, but Katherine had an ultimatum, "Money is not a problem."

The outcome of the design was more important than how much it cost.

At that time, Celine didn't quite understand why Katherine would go all out for this villa.

Now that Celine had seen how innovative and intricate the interior design was, she admired Katherine more.

Katherine really knew what she wanted.

Based on how the interior design of the place, it could be seen how much she thought of utilizing the space provided.

Katherine walked into the dining room to prepare coffee when she saw Celine in her deep thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" Katherine asked with a subtle smile.

Celine shook her head when she realized that she had become distracted.

She lowered her head in embarrassment before speaking, "It's nothing, Miss.It's just that this is the first time I saw your place after it had been renovated.It's nice and sophisticated."

Katherine smiled as she scooped coffee grounds onto the cup.

"Celine, are you praising my talent in design?" she delightfully asked.

"Miss Wilson, you are talented in many things," Celine politely replied.

In this world, there were two types of people.

One type would be someone who was a genius, and the other, an average person.

It was evident that Katherine was a genius brought to life by the heavens, while Celine was the average person.

Ordinary people needed to work twice as hard to get where they wanted to be.

But there was no need to exert any effort for geniuses because they had the knowledge and talents to succeed.

Although it might seem like Celine was just trying to please her boss, it was true that Katherine did things very well.

She was a fast learner, and she proved to be better than most people.

Celine believed that even if Katherine didn't enter the business world, the latter would definitely be outstanding in other careers.

Katherine jokingly gave Celine a side-eye.

"Praise me all you want.But I won't raise your salary anymore," she said.

Once again, Celine was embarrassed.

"No, Miss Wilson.I wasn't saying that for you to raise my salary.Besides, my salary is already high," she hurriedly said.

Katherine was a generous boss.

Last year, she had raised Celine’s salary twice.

Even after being her secretary for years, Celine had never suffered a loss.

Katherine clicked her tongue slightly while shaking her head.

"I never knew that someone would dislike having a high salary," she said.

Celine blushed in shame.

She lowered her head and didn't speak anymore.

All she could do was to watch Katherine make coffee.

Katherine poured hot water into the coffee grounds and left it to drip through a filter.

While waiting, Katherine looked up at Celine and smiled.

"Relax! I was just teasing you," she said and tapped Celine’s shoulder.
