Chapter 346 The Pervert Aged into an Old Pervert
"Is Tony trying to be the king of the company? Should I throw him a coronation or something?"
The security guard was surprised to see Catherine sitting in the backseat. He recognized her as the new boss, even though she had just arrived today.
As soon as he realized it was Catherine, he hustled over to the front window. "Mr. Gibson, that's Ms. Windsor's car behind us..."
Tony felt like swearing. "Why didn't you mention this sooner?"
He could push people around at work, but Catherine, even if she was just a student, was still a Windsor. He couldn't afford to disrespect her.
The HR manager in the passenger seat shrugged. "So what?"
Tony muttered under his breath. "You don't get it. Messing up at work is one thing, but outside, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to mess with the Windsor family!"
In the company, he was the design director, and she was the boss. Outside, he was just middle class, and the Windsor family was way out of his league.
Tony wasn't dumb; he knew when to play it smart. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and jogged over with a sheepish grin.
"Sorry, Ms. Windsor, I didn't mean to block your way. I'll move my car right now."
Catherine gave a slight smile and motioned for Tony to come closer. As he approached, he could feel the tension coming off her.
"Mr. Gibson, the parking spot isn't the problem. It's your attitude that worries me."
"It's just my team being careless, Ms. Windsor. I'll replace them right away. Samuel thought not laying off people was kind, but it turns out we've been keeping some dead weight..."
Alexander, sitting next to Catherine, chuckled softly.
Tony finally noticed the young man beside Catherine. Alexander was dressed in an impeccably tailored vintage suit, with a tie clip adorned with fine rubies. His cufflinks and watch decorations screamed elegance and power. This man exuded an aura that demanded respect and attention.
Seeing his closeness with Catherine, Tony could easily guess his identity. The head of the Howard Group!
Dealing with the Windsor family was already a headache for Tony, and now with the Howard family involved, he worried he might not see the next sunrise.
Alexander sneered, "You're nothing but a fool!"
"A mere design director daring to block my car? That's a first!"
Annie chimed in, "Mr. Howard, the last person who blocked your car is still in the hospital."
Tony was trembling all over.
Alexander smirked. "Mr. Gibson? I'll remember you."
Catherine glanced at Tony, "What? Still blocking the way? Or are you hoping for a dinner invite at my place, Mr. Gibson?"
Tony wished he could, but he didn't have the guts. "No, no, I'll move the car right away!"
Tony moved his car, and Annie drove off. Behind them, several cars honked, and someone even gave Annie a thumbs-up.
Someone leaned out and shouted, "Way to go!"
They were all tired of Tony blocking their way after work. He always parked in front, not caring if others had plans after work, acting like the road was his alone.
Catherine pulled out her phone and called Mira.
"Hey, can you set up a complaint email? Anonymous is fine. Public complaints with evidence get a reward, and verified anonymous ones do too."
"Got it, Ms. Windsor. I'll get in touch with the tech department right away."
"No need, I've already done the programming. Just forward it."
Catherine wasn't one to make the tech team work overtime unnecessarily. Besides, she could get things done faster herself.
Mira was impressed. "Ms. Windsor, you're amazing!"
Not making others work late, but doing it herself!
When Mira received the program, she was stunned. It had everything it needed and didn't look like it was thrown together at the last minute at all.
"Ms. Windsor, you must have spent a long time on this program, right?"
"Twenty minutes. Is that long?"
That was about the time it took Catherine to get home from the office, so it did seem a bit long.
Mira was speechless. Twenty minutes... to complete such a complex program? The Windsor family really was full of geniuses...
After sending out the program, Mira posted Catherine's task in the company bulletin, ensuring a sleepless night for many!
At the Windsor Mansion, Aurora, worried about Marcus's mood, had invited Felix and Arabella over.
Felix, after hearing about yesterday's events, looked a bit dazed. "What do you think Franklin is up to?"
Arabella scoffed, "Some people are just twisted. They start as young psychos and grow into old ones."
To her, Franklin was just bitter and couldn't stand seeing others happy. "He doesn't want Elodie to marry Marcus. The way he looks at Elodie isn't much different from how he looks at you two."
Felix frowned, "Why bring that up again? I've told you, I don't have feelings for Elodie anymore!"
"Who you care about is none of my business."
Arabella was unfazed. Felix didn't want to argue with Arabella in front of the younger ones. Every time Elodie was mentioned, it led to a big fight!
Emilia quickly took Arabella's hand to smooth over the awkward situation. "Mrs. Howard, that's all in the past!"
"It is in the past. I just... feel bad for Elodie!"
Arabella lowered her eyes, "Sometimes I wonder if Elodie had chosen Felix instead of marrying Marcus, would her life have been better? But my life... it is what it is."
Felix seemed surprised by her words. Arabella shook her head.
"Do you think I care about those things? When I married you, I knew what I was getting into! I didn't marry for love, just because you were rich and naive."
"Compared to all that romantic nonsense, I care more about the person!"
Arabella admired people like Elodie! Bold and passionate, with a fighting spirit, it was natural for people to be drawn to her when she was young!
Besides...
Felix's life seemed to be nearing its end, and she didn't want to say anything to upset him now. But everyone has a bit of selfishness. She hoped... that when Felix passed, he might be thinking of her!
"Put yourself in her shoes. If Elodie had lived my life, she wouldn't have been happy with her personality."
"That's why I asked Catherine if she truly loves Alexander!"
