Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 32 

When the phone call was picked up, a female voice on the other line answered in a voice that sounded a little confused.

"Secretary Hall?"

As soon as Zack heard Katherine's voice, he immediately cut off the call and glanced at Aidan coldly.

"Don't tell Katherine that I was the one who called her” he instructed.

With that, he returned to his office with a dark face.

‘‘Great, she blocked my phone number” Zack thought sarcastically.

On the other hand, Katherine, who had just finished watching the investigation of the public relations department, looked down at her phone.

She could not help but frown.

After seeing Katherine frown, Alice could not help but ask, "Who called?"

"Zack's secretary” Katherine replied.

Upon hearing these, Alice was triggered.She acted as if she was confronting an enemy directly in front of her.

"What is Zack trying to do now?" she angrily asked.

"I don't know.He hung up right after the call was connected,’ Katherine said, confused.

Alice curled her lips.

After a deep thought, she suggested, "Maybe he called the wrong number.”

Katherine just nodded as a response.She did not mind the call further.However, she did need to contact Aidan.After all, the matter that Katherine needed to discuss was related to Zack.

Just as she put down her phone, it started to ring again.

She read the caller ID, and it was Aidan who called again.

"Secretary Hall?"

Katherine raised her eyebrows.

"Miss Katherine, I'm sorry.I was busy just now.I accidentally dialed your number,’ Aidan explained.

Lying wasn't new to Aidan at all.

He couldn't even count how many times he had lied throughout his life.

But when he lied to Katherine, even though it was through the phone, he still felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

"Oh” Katherine responded.

Katherine gestured to Alice that she needed to go out to talk to Secretary Hall privately.

She then got up and walked to the open-air balcony of the restaurant.

"But there is something that I really need to discuss with you, Secretary Hall" she said.

Aidan's heart tightened.

He always felt that this whole ordeal was not a good thing.

"Miss Katherine, please speak; he said.

"Did you see the trending topic online today?" Katherine asked.

"I...I saw it" Aidan stuttered.

Katherine chuckled.

"It's good that you saw it.I have already asked someone to help me investigate that matter.The gossips about me were released starting from four o'clock earlier this morning.Every two hours, five new gossips are being posted.All of this gossips were written by reporters that came from the same company.Coincidentally, I have an acquaintance who is also familiar with the company.I found out that the person who asked them to release the drafts was Miss Chloe” she explained.

At this point, Katherine's voice became colder.

"Secretary Hall, can you please inform Zack and Chloe to wait for my lawyer's letter?" she said, her voice void of any emotion.

After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.

Katherine then returned to the restaurant as if nothing had happened.

Alice had already ordered a meal and looked at her eagerly.

"I'm fine.I didn't order that much” she said and grinned at her.

Katherine glanced and noticed that Alice actually ordered a lot of expensive food but she did make a big deal out of it.

She raised her hand and signaled the waiter.

"Order, please,’ Katherine instructed.

Alice was intrigued, so she asked, "What did you say to Zack's secretary?"

Katherine took a sip of the lemon water.

"Nothing.I just asked them to wait for my lawyer's letter’ she replied.

"Yes, that's it! Zack and his family deserved that.They are such evil people, and I have wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time!"

Alice said furiously.

Katherine held her chin and looked at Alice with raised eyebrows.

"How can you teach them a lesson?" she asked, smiling.

Alice snorted coldly.

"Well, I am a successful actress.With so many fans that I have right now, it's good to post bad rumors about them!"

Katherine was amused by how daring Alice was.

"I'm afraid that Zack would deal with you first, even before you could release the rumors you planned."

Alice wailed, "Damn it! Zack is an evil capitalist! A powerful, wealthy jerk!"

After that, Alice suddenly realized that just opposite her was also a big capitalist who had a great amount of wealth and power.

She then added, "Oh, how could I forget that you are also a capitalist, but of course, you are generous and unique.’ She smiled.

"Well, not a bad observation at all.That was very objective of you,’ Katherine said.

Two narcissistic people were together.

Fortunately, there was no other person around them.

Otherwise, the two of them would surely bring frustration to other people.
