Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 856: Chapter 856 Let’s Talk About the Price

Seamus Noah looked at his boss with careful consideration and reminded him, “Do you remember Catherine Ford? She was the client from the domestic abuse divorce case last time. Her inappropriate remarks and behavior had some minor impact on you. If you don’t want to meet her, I can let the receptionist know.”

Benjamin Jones guessed that the employee from LG who was coming might be from the logistics department, and that Catherine Ford might be among them, so he proactively initiated the conversation. He hadn’t expected she would really be there. Remembering her behavior today, he found it both irritating and amusing. He frowned slightly due to the agitation in his stomach. However, this subtle gesture led Seamus Noah to misunderstand, and with a cold glance, he said, “No need, let them all come up.”

Seamus Noah immediately thought that the boss probably felt it was inappropriate to have Rita Pansy come up alone, which is why he asked for everyone to come up. Without hesitation, he conveyed the decision to the receptionist.

Ever since Rita Pansy had spoken those words, Catherine Ford had been praying that Benjamin Jones wouldn’t see them, that he wouldn’t see them. She couldn’t understand why the receptionist had initially been about to turn them away but then suddenly warmed up 180 degrees. Not only did the receptionist escort them upstairs personally, but her demeanor became even more enthusiastic and respectful than before.

Catherine Ford was confused as she followed them upstairs. It wasn’t until the elevator doors opened that she panicked, realizing she was about to see Benjamin Jones. Suddenly, she clutched her abdomen, “Um… sorry, I feel a bit unwell.”

Grace Clarke was startled, “Why didn’t you feel unwell earlier or later, but just happen to feel sick now? Do you realize who we are about to meet?”

Catherine Ford lied with a pale face, “I didn’t want to, but… you know.”

With that, Catherine Ford pointed to her belly.

The receptionist immediately understood and said, “Go straight for a hundred meters, then turn left and around the corner, and you’ll find the restroom. I’ll take them to the lounge first.”

In the receptionist’s eyes, Boss Jones wanted to see Rita Pansy; the others were just tagalongs. Whether they were there or not didn’t matter.

Catherine Ford felt like she had received a reprieve and hurriedly thanked the receptionist before darting off in the direction indicated.

Rita Pansy only realized that Catherine Ford also liked Lawyer Jones after she got into the elevator. Even though she had denied it in the office and being divorced with a child really didn’t give her much competitive edge, Catherine’s face was still thorny in her eyes. She had been thinking about how to get rid of her rival, but Catherine Ford seemed to know her place and left on her own, which slightly relaxed Rita. She then shot a concerned look at Grace Clarke beside her, “Sister Grace, I noticed that Catherine seemed really unwell. You two are usually quite close, right? Why don’t you go check on her?”

Grace Clarke was already concerned about Catherine Ford, but she was also curious about Benjamin Jones. Hesitating upon hearing Rita’s catty remark, she guessed that Rita was trying to get rid of her. Though annoyed inside, she really was worried about Catherine and decided to go find her with a quick response.
