Chapter 549 Good Job on Keeping Secrets
Kathy felt that no matter how she put it, she was still Ulysses' elder.
The two added each other on Facebook, and she would send messages to Ulysses, reminding him to eat and to bring an umbrella when the weather changed.
Ulysses would always obediently report what he had eaten and would thank Kathy.
Seeing their chat history, Gerald realized that Ulysses could be so well-behaved.
When Gerald asked, Kathy said, "He said there's something going on at school, he might not be back today, it'll have to be tomorrow."
"What could he possibly have to do?"
"At their age, shouldn't they be having fun with friends and classmates? Don't worry about it, he's usually busy with his studies, it's rare for him to have a weekend off, if he wants to go out and play, we shouldn't interfere."
"Got it." Gerald laughed, "You're quite a dedicated stepmother."
Kathy said, "Of course. After all, he's your biological son, I love his father, so naturally, I have to be good to him."
Gerald was now in high spirits at work.
Many of his close subordinates had already learned about his marriage from his Instagram.
Privately, they were all talking about how they never expected Gerald to have such a day.
How to put it, they used to think Gerald put all his energy into work.
There were even people who tried to introduce someone to him, and some even broke the rules and tried to bribe him, but Gerald was unmoved.
Such a man, in their eyes, was pure-hearted and ascetic, not interested in women, and then suddenly one day he announced his marriage on Instagram.
What kind of woman could captivate Gerald like that?
Moreover, it was visibly noticeable that Gerald's overall mental state had improved recently.
He was always very dedicated before.
But how to put it, it felt like Gerald had an unapproachable, unreal quality.
It was as if he were born for work.
Other things couldn't stir him in the slightest. But now, they realized that Gerald was also a common person.
He could also like, be attached, and even be infatuated.
A subordinate who had been with him for several years jokingly asked, "Mr. Clarence, when will it be convenient for us to meet your wife?"
He had his own think tank at work, a group of loyal people who followed him and got things done.
Gerald also expressed at the time, "I'll find some time to treat you all to a meal and let you meet her."
"Mr. Clarence has kept his wife so well hidden, his secrecy is impeccable, we're all very curious."
The secretary and driver had naturally met Kathy, but in their line of work, the most important thing was to keep their mouths shut.
So they never talked about Gerald's affairs.
But privately, the two of them would still discuss it.
When asked, they wouldn't say much, only that Geraldwas a normal man with feelings and love, wasn't that normal?
Moreover, the two of them knew that during the earthquake, it was Kathy who stepped up and saved Gerald.
So they had a high level of acceptance for Kathy.
Of course, even if Kathy hadn't done anything, they would still accept her.
But because of this, they genuinely liked this woman.
They didn't want their leader to be with a wife who was insincere.
Besides the secretary and driver who had private interactions with Kathy, no one else had met her.
But the earthquake incident was shared by the secretary and driver with a few people.
So everyone had a good impression of her.
They just didn't expect the opportunity to meet her to come so soon.
Just the day before yesterday, on the Thursday before the weekend gathering, Gerald hurriedly left home in the morning and only remembered when he got to the office that he had left a document in the study after being intimate with Kathy the night before, and he urgently needed it that morning.
Having the driver go back and forth would waste time, so he had no choice but to call Kathy, ask her to find it, and have the driver bring it over.
But he didn't expect Kathy to bring it herself.
"I was worried it might be a confidential document." Kathy had put the document in a sealed bag. "I feel better handing it to you personally."
She hadn't planned to see Gerald, as Gerald had said to have the driver bring it, and he would have the secretary wait at the door.
But when the secretary saw that it was Gerald's wife herself, he naturally wouldn't let her leave and quickly brought her in.
He had his own motives, thinking that so many people wanted to meet Kathy, and this was a perfect opportunity.
Moreover, Gerald had just had a meeting and was in a bit of a bad mood; Kathy's arrival might cheer him up.
This would make everyone's work easier.
Kathy hadn't intended to go in, but when the secretary saw her and directly let her in directly, she asked, "Can I go in?"
"Of course." The secretary smiled, "Mr. Clarence is waiting for you."
Kathy went upstairs, and the moment she saw Gerald, his surprised expression told her that the secretary had lied to her.
But although they had only parted that morning, it was their first time meeting in such a formal work setting.
Their mutual affection was evident to anyone with eyes.
Gerald took the document and brought her directly into his office.
His office was relatively simple, a typical government office with a desk, a file cabinet, and a simple wooden sofa and coffee table.
Kathy looked around, but before she could say anything, Gerald reached out and hugged her.
"What's wrong?" Kathy hugged him back, "You seem a bit upset."
"Work stuff." Gerald buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath, "You came just in time, to give me a boost."
Kathy laughed and patted his back, "Is it that serious?"
"It is." Gerald held her hand and sat on the sofa. "Something went wrong today, and I lost my temper."
"Is there a chance to fix it?"
"There is, but there will still be losses."
"Then don't worry, everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Kathy comforted him, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you tonight."
Gerald pointed to his cheek, "I have a meeting later, you only have five minutes, hurry and give me a kiss."
Kathy couldn't help but look around, "We are in the office..."
Before she could finish, Gerald kissed her.
But he didn't go overboard, just gave her a gentle kiss, then said, "Alright, fully recharged."
It was Kathy's first time being affectionate with him in such a place, and her face turned red.
"If you go out like this, people will get the wrong idea." Gerald laughed, "They might think I did something to you."
Gerald's office didn't even have a restroom.
Kathy had to use the back of her hand to cool her cheeks.
Soon, Gerald held her hand and walked out.
After opening the door, Kathy instinctively withdrew her hand from his.
This was Gerald's workplace, she didn't want to affect his image.
Outside, several people had gathered, pretending to inquire about work matters.
