"Luckily, I got a better idea, and I need your assistance, Michael."
"My assistance?" Michael was genuinely surprised. "And what kind of assistance do you need, Sir? My skills are best suited towards gathering information about her, and I think I’ve done that to the point that I can na you all of the n she slept with. And just so you know, it’s a long list of married n."
"I don’t need that information," Henry said with disgust. He imagined how many married n that whore seduced and how many families she had ruined. "You’ll be working in my office temporarily as a fake co-manager, and she will be your assistant."
"Co-manager? So what exactly will my job be, Sir? And what’s the point of making her my assistant?"
"Because I want you to feed her false information about . Fool her, satisfy her by making her think that she has in the palm of her hand, and make sure you act like you’re interested in her as well."
"Wait, I have to act like I want her too?" Michael’s eyes widened, he fervently shook his head, saying, "Anything but that, Henry. Goddamn, you’re going to kill your only friend."
Michael broke his mask of formality with his boss because of that. Just the idea of him having to fake his attraction to that woman made him shudder, and the thought that he would actually have to execute it made him want to throw up.
"Tsk, co on, it won’t be long, I swear," Henry promised.
"No fucking way!"
"Just help as a friend, this is the best way for to win Kate’s heart," Henry continued as he tried to persuade, eventually Michael gave up after Henry ntioned Kate.
Though he didn’t like this plan of using Kate’s baby as the bargaining chip, he had to admit that Kate was the best option for this mission, especially with her connection with the late Jas Grant.
He considered it for a while and nodded, "Alright, I will do it, but this is so that you could win Kate’s heart, right?"
"Yes! This is for to make her mine!" Henry said excitedly. He was thrilled, thinking Kate would finally open her heart to him once he helped her.
"Then I will do it for our mission. We need her baby," Michael said.
Henry, who was excited a mont ago, suddenly lost all of his vigor. He suddenly went silent. Michael’s eyes peered at Henry. His boss and best friend seed to be unhappy with what he said.
"Sir?"
"What?"
"You’re not in love with Mrs. Woods, are you?"
Henry clenched his fist in silence and replied, "No, I’m not."
"... that’s good, then. Please refrain from going too far, Sir. There is sothing more urgent that we have to do. Rember our initial plan, Sir. We’re supposed to let her fall madly in love with you, take her baby, and kick her out of your life imdiately."
"You know her identity, Sir. It’ll be dangerous if you fall in love with her," Michael reminded. "You will ss everything up, and may I say, it is not worth it to ditch our years worth of hard work just for a woman."
"Besides, you already promised Miss Sarah that you will—"
"Can you shut your mouth?" Henry asked with a sharp tone. He was already in a terrible mood as Michael ntioned that he wasn’t supposed to fall in love with Kate.
But now that he also ntioned Sarah, he finally reached the boiling point and snapped, "I know what I’m doing, Michael. You can shut your mouth and do as I say. I have everything under control."
Michael zipped his mouth instantly. He knew nothing good would co out of this argunt if he insisted on lecturing Henry.
However, all of his words were true.
It was obvious that Henry would end up the sa as Jas. They were brothers who grew up together and tended to like the sa things, so they must’ve had the sa taste as won.
It was also why Michael initially disagreed with Henry’s plan for Kate. Henry was playing with fire, and now it seed he was about to get burned to ashes.
’I will have to keep him in check,’ Michael thought. ’Henry would be in big danger if he got careless because of Mrs. Woods.’
Michael had nothing against Kate, but he also had his priorities, which was to ensure Henry got his revenge.

Kate walked out of the elevator and headed to her apartnt room. She was in a good mood thinking of what happened last night.
She didn’t expect things to be so smooth between Henry and her. She thought that she’d need to work a little harder just to seduce him and to convince him to help her get rid of Erin.
’I guess that ans I can also ask him about other things in the future...’ Kate thought, scolding herself for thinking that way. ’Wait, Kate, what are you thinking? You’re asking for his help because he has the most influence over Erin right now. You are supposed to cut things off with him after you’ve successfully gotten rid of your sister!’
Kate was still reminiscing about what happened last night. Her mood was lifted whenever she recalled all the sweet things Henry said and did to her.
But her mood was instantly ruined when she saw Erin standing before her door. She was leaning on Kate’s apartnt door, wearing a very tight white shirt without a bra, so her nipples were basically protruding and exposed for everyone to see.
She also wore tight leather pants, showing off her figures, leaving nothing to the imagination.
She was fully dressed yet she looked naked in Kate’s eyes. Anyone would be ashad wearing what she had on, but Erin was strangely proud of herself and her body, so she wouldn’t even bother to dress modestly.
Kate stood before Erin and peered at her suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
Erin looked up and smiled at her sister, "Morning, sis. I’m here for my second job interview with none other than Mr. Grant, of course!"
