He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband Chapter 143

Erin wanted to see more of Kate’s crying face.

She wanted to tornt her big sister even more because this was the first ti her sister ever showed her crying face in front of soone else.

All this ti, Erin never saw Kate crying in front of her.

She would always try to put up a tough persona. No matter how agitated she was, she would never cry in front of Erin and their mother, and Erin assud that Kate never cried in front of other people as well.

"Damn, she must be devastated because she got fired from a job that she’s been dedicating her life into for the past four years, hihi," Erin couldn’t help but giggle, thinking that Kate must be wailing like a baby in her office right now.

"Ahh~ should I co in to tornt her even more, or should I leave her alone for now?" Erin considered it for a while and then decided to leave, "Oh well, Mr. Grant told to leave for now. So I guess I should obey my future husband, hihi."

And thus, Erin grabbed her bag and strutted in the corridor confidently as she left the office.

Little did she know, Mai was peeking from a small window, watching over Erin, making sure that whore left the office so Mrs. Woods would stop her play pretend.

"She’s gone, Ma’am," Mai reported as she saw Erin’s back disappearing from her sight.

"Good," Kate said. "She pointed at the tissue on the desk and said, "Give that, Mai."

Mai grabbed the tissue box, and Kate pulled out a few sheets. She wiped the tears that stread down her cheek. Her eyes were puffy when she cried a lot to make it believable.

Mai observed her boss and then comnted, "I was shocked when I saw you coming out of Mr. Grant’s office with tears, Ma’am. I really thought that he made you cry."

Kate chuckled, "Does that an you got fooled by my tears as well?"

Mai nodded, "I was panicking. So I followed you into the office. But I’m glad that you’re just pretending to make it believable for Erin."

"She is not the only one who can squeeze out so tears to fool others," Kate said. "Well, now that the plan has been on the motion, you can expect that bitch to disappear in about a week from now."

"Great! Oh, I can’t wait for this office to go back to normal!"

"Really? You can’t wait?" Kate grinned. "If things go back to normal, then Mr. Eckermann might leave since he ca here to divert Erin’s attention."

"Eeeeh, hmm..." Mai humd for a while and then shrugged, "Oh well, that can’t be helped, I guess."

"You won’t feel sad?"

"I an, he’s a great co-manager, he’s efficient and professional at handling so many docunts. But I know that he has sothing else to do outside as Mr. Grant’s bodyguard," Mai said.

Mai’s answer made Kate a little sad for Michael.

Kate knew she and Mai could connect easily because, deep down, they had the sa thod of stopping themselves from unnecessarily getting involved emotionally with soone else.

They would build a wall around their heart, ensuring everything was strictly ’work-only.’

Unfortunately, Kate’s wall crumbled when she t with Henry, who had all the weapons in his arsenal to break down her wall.

’Michael has to work hard to tear down her wall,’ Kate thought. ’Good luck, Michael.’

"By the way, starting from tomorrow, you don’t need to co into my office anymore," Kate said.

Mai gasped. She paled instantly and asked, "M—Ma’am, did you... fire ?"

"Huh? No, of course not," Kate said. "Don’t you hear what Henry told Erin just now? I will be on a temporary lay off for a week. Well, it’s more of a vacation for a week so I can get away from that bitch’s tornt until her international trip to Canada and then Greenland will be finalized."

"But I will still read manuscripts that the editors sent to , and also contact a few authors that I’m interested in," Kate said. "I will also contact you for a few docunt works as well, Mai."

"Okay, Ma’am, that’s relieving," Mai sighed. "You really need to get away from that bitch. I can’t imagine having to endure her presence for so long."

"But where are you going to stay, Ma’am? I don’t think it’s good for you to stay in your apartnt for now. Since Erin could always co and tornt you there."

"Henry already prepared a presidential suite for in one of the hotels he invested in," Kate ntioned casually. "It will be in San Francisco. So I have to go now and prepare my luggage. He will pick up and drive to the airport."

Mai was relieved that Mr. Grant cared so much about Mrs. Woods.

"That’s good, Ma’am. Please take care of yourself for a week. Don’t worry about the office, Ma’am. I will take care of everything."

"Mhm, oh, I do have a request, Mai," Kate leaned forward to whisper at Mai, who was a head shorter than her. "Can you help by watching over Mr. Grant?"

Mai frowned, "Watching over him?"

"Yes, make sure that he doesn’t bring another woman into his office, and make sure that Erin will not try to do anything to him."

"But, I don’t think Mr. Grant is the type of man who would cheat on you, Ma’am," Mai said assuringly. "He seems to love you so much."

’Love, huh?’ Kate sneered. She knew it was unfair for her to be so suspicious and vigilant towards Henry, who was nothing but great to her so far.

But she was traumatized by what Matt did.

She trusted that bastard so much. She gave everything she had for him, only for Matt to break her heart.

"We don’t know, Mai. n are fickle, they can love you for a night, only to forget you the next morning. They can say that they only have you, but they will still find a mistress outside."
