Chapter 550 Great Taste
Gerald naturally saw through their thoughts, they just wanted to take this opportunity to meet Kathy.
But now it was work time, and he couldn't introduce Kathy to them.
He personally escorted them to the elevator door and even wanted to go downstairs with her.
Kathy said, "You should go back to work."
Gerald said, "Alright, you should lie down more and take care of your shoulder injury."
"Got it."
After watching the elevator go down, Gerald returned to the office and saw his subordinates eagerly looking at him.
"Mr. Clarence, Mrs. Clarence is indeed beautiful and virtuous, you have great taste."
"Yeah, and Mrs. Clarence seems to have a good temper too, she just smiled at me."
Everyone was talking at once, and Gerald rarely smiled. "Alright, everyone, get back to work."
Seeing Gerald's attitude, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, before Kathy came, Gerald's face was quite gloomy.
Now he finally returned to his usual demeanor.
They hoped Kathy could come more often; would their work atmosphere improve?
That night, when they got home, Gerald and Kathy had a tender moment, and he mentioned his subordinates' request, asking for Kathy's opinion.
"Meet me?" Kathy was a bit surprised. "How do you want to arrange it?"
Gerald chuckled, "This isn't work, I'll handle it. Kathy, you're my wife, I have to respect your opinion."
"I don't have any opinion," Kathy said, "You arrange it, whenever it's convenient, I'm fine with it."
Given Gerald's status, he was destined not to make many friends at work.
But these loyal subordinates had a different kind of bond with him.
Frankly, even if he wanted to be friends with them, the gap between them would make them uncomfortable. In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, and Gerald returned to the Clarence Mansion, where the house was already filled with laughter and joy.
For a moment, Gerald stood in the hallway, feeling a bit dazed.
Before reuniting with Josephine, the house was mostly lifeless.
Only when Ulysses played with Nicole, there would be some laughter.
First, Josephine was brought back, and Nicole regained her vitality.
Then he got together with Kathy.
Although only two more people were added to the house, the atmosphere was completely different.
Moreover, Josephine brought Stuart and Jeffery along.
It became even more lively.
"Why are you standing at the door? Come and get ready for dinner," Nicole called him.
Kathy walked over and took the bag from his hand. "Go wash up, dinner is about to start."
Gerald looked at her gentle smile and wanted to kiss her.
But with everyone at home, he had to hold back, "Okay."
At the dinner table, the family was indeed very lively.
Even Ulysses, who wasn't there, called in via video.
Gerald asked him what he was busy with.
He said, "A classmate is sick, I'm accompanying him to the hospital."
Kathy quickly asked, "Is it serious? Does he need to be hospitalized?"
"Acute gastroenteritis, just from eating something bad, nothing serious," Ulysses said, "You guys made so much delicious food."
"Yeah," Josephine also joined in, "Are you craving it? Should we save some for you? Come home to eat after you finish at the hospital."
"He needs an IV. It'll be late, no need to save any for me, I'll come back early tomorrow."
After dinner, Stuart's family had to go back, as Andrew's health wasn't as good as before, and they didn't want to leave him alone at home.
In short, with Gerald and Kathy accompanying Nicole, Josephine was at ease.
If it were before, Josephine would most likely stay over.
After Nicole also went to rest, Kathy returned to her and Gerald's room.
Gerald had already showered and was reading documents in the room instead of the study.
Kathy walked over, and he reached out, pulling her to sit on his lap.
Even though they had already done the most intimate things, Kathy's personality made her unable to act too clingy.
When Gerald was working, she generally wouldn't disturb him.
Now being pulled onto his lap, she felt a bit uneasy. "You should get back to work."
"With you here, I can't focus on those," Gerald kissed her, "What were you doing with my mom downstairs?"
He had been waiting for a long time before Kathy came up.
"Mom was teaching me flower arranging."
Gerald smiled, "Are you interested? If not, you don't have to entertain her. She's been really into it lately, sharing her insights with everyone she sees."
"I like it," Kathy said, "Women all like flowers, right? They're beautiful and make me feel good."
"Then I'll buy you some tomorrow."
"No need, we still have some at home." Kathy couldn't help but kiss him, "You should get back to work, I'll go take a shower."
"Not working anymore." Gerald directly picked her up, "I'll join you in the shower."
"Haven't you already showered?"
"Another one won't hurt."
It was their first time spending the night at the Clarence Mansion, and Kathy still felt a bit reserved.
Gerald kissed her and said, "Didn't I tell you, the soundproofing is great, don't worry, make some noise, I like hearing your voice."
Kathy was both embarrassed and annoyed, wanting to hit him a few times.
In front of others, Gerald was always upright and restrained.
Only in front of her, when they were alone, did he show a different side.
Which made Kathy even more attached to him.
Gerald sought Kathy's opinion and scheduled the meeting for Sunday at noon.
When he mentioned it to Stuart, Stuart booked a private restaurant for him.
Thanks to Stuart, this members-only private restaurant opened the eyes of Gerald's loyal subordinates.
In fact, in the eyes of others, these people were also enviable.
They had stable, good jobs and held important positions in government departments.
But honestly, the people they interacted with were diverse, from all walks of life, including ordinary people and wealthy families.
In essence, they were also ordinary people.
Their lives were neither too good nor too bad.
Although some people took advantage of their jobs to enjoy many conveniences and benefits.
But Gerald's subordinates naturally wouldn't.
So, this luxurious and exquisite place was a first for them.
They knew Gerald's family was well-off, but this place they came to tonight was something they had only heard of before.
It was said that a meal here could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was quite intimidating.
Some of them had seen Kathy at the office before, but others hadn't.
"I heard she's a PhD, studying physics, very impressive."
"I told you, an ordinary person wouldn't catch Mr. Clarence's eye."
They arrived early, and when Gerald walked in holding Kathy's hand, seeing them chatting enthusiastically, he smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
