Chapter 84

Valerie’s expression twisted in disbelief. “Wait, what’s going on here!”

Dylan’s reputation was notorious, and people usually avoid going on business trips with him. Plus, the one with the lowest performance rating wha was set to be Dylan’s travel buddy was a guy, so no issues there

How on earth did Katherine end up joining him?

Valerie was only absent this weekend, and something like this happened.

“Valerie, it’s on me,” the new girl, still shaken from Isabel’s attack, said, “I closed three car deals last month, but somehow my report got all messed up. Mr. Hart chewed me out, saying it could’ve cost the company over 20 thousand dollars.

Valerie muttered. “It’s the finance department’s job to check the report. Dylan can’t boss you around.”

The new girl felt upset. “Wish you were there with me yesterday, Valerie. I didn’t have the guts to stand up to Mr. Hart, but I really don’t wanna go on a trip with him. Heard he’s creepy with girls on trips… Katherine said she took my place to protect me. She says she knows kickboxing, and Mr. Har wouldn’t dare touch her”

Valerie frowned at the news. Katherine was always hold, but this was next–level. Even if she knew how to throw a punch, what if things escalated? Dylan was not exactly known for his boundaries. If something did happen, it could get really messy.

Valerie hurriedly dialed Katherine’s number, relieved when she finally picked up

The background had some noise going on

“Katherine, where are you? Did Dylan do anything to you? Valerie’s voice was tense with concem.

“Valerie!” Katherine recognized her voice and laughed. “Relax, everything’s fine. Dylan wouldn’t dare mess with me, or I’ll make sure he learns some

manners

Katherine’s voice came through, and Valerie finally let out a sigh of relief. “Katherine, why’s it so loud over there?”

Katherine glanced around and explained, “Oh, a big–shot coal boss ordered a bunch of cars thus time. He’s throwing a group wedding for three couples of his employees, and they’re short on help. They asked me to step in as a temporary bridesmaid. It’s pretty lively here. I’ll hang around. until the banquet kicks off, then maybe grab a bite to eat.”“

Valerie felt better knowing there was a crowd around

With so many people, even if Dylan had any funny ideas, he wouldn’t dare act on them.

Just as Valerie was about to say more, a sudden commotion erupted outside the lobby, sounding like trouble.

Katherine listened in confusion. “Valerie, what’s going on over there?”

Not wanting to worry her, Valerie downplayed it. “Oh, just my coworkers messing around”

But the noise sounded serious, Katherine hesitated, debating whether to call Valerie back later, when suddenly, Dylan, who had been mingling with the coal boss, appeared behind her.

“Why are you calling Valerie?” he asked.

Katherine jumped at his sudden voice, and seeing it was Dylan, she frowned and stayed quiet, not wanting to talk.

She didn’t want to chat, but he kept on pushing..

“Hey, hold up!” Dylan clinked his glass, stopping Katherine in her tracks. “Did Valerie trash talk me again? That girl’s got a mouth on her, don’t mind

Katherine grinned back at Dylan, not buying it. “You don’t need anyone to badmouth you. We all know who you are.”

g with anger as he said, “You’ve got some sharp words for someone so young. Careful you don’t end up alone!”

Dylan’s face was burning

“Dylan, I’m just here to work. If you’re not happy, just kick me out. But don’t think I’m interested in you. Besides, I’ve got a sweet boyfriend. Even if I don’t end up getting married, that’s my problem, not yours!”

With that, Katherine strutted off as the wedding ceremony kicked off, needing her as a bridesmaid.

She took to the stage, throwing a bit of shade Dylan’s way. “Must be bad luck having you here on such a happy occasion!”

“Your” Dylan was unable to come up with a comeback as he watched Katherine walking away in a rage.
