I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 36

Catherine went back to the private room in confusion. Aurora happened to take a seat and have a break on the sofa. Catherine walked to her and told her what had happened outside the room just now.

As soon as Aurora heard about it, she stood up in anger. “Damn that asshole surnamed Jonathan! How dare he bullies my bestie! I won’t let go of him easily!”

Catherine stopped Aurora who was rushing out and comforted her, “I came back safe and sound, didn’t 1? The man who was napping in the corner just now has saved me. He also said that our private room is on him.”

Upon hearing what Catherine said, Aurora stopped. She circled Catherine and looked at her up and down. “Did you say that Ethan James saved you just now?”

So it turned out that man’s name was Ethan James – Catherine realized it.

She nodded. Although it had been a long time since she left this circle, she had heard a lot of people’s names. However, this was the first time for her to know Ethan’s name.

‘This is his very first time to be so warm-hearted,” Aurora said while rubbing her chin, “I don’t think you know him. When you divorced Anderson, the oldest son of the James family, William James, died in a car accident. When people thought that the James family wouldn’t have any inheritor, Ethan went to their door. He was Uncle James’ illegitimate son outside his family.”

Aurora finished the last sentence when whispering in Catherine’s ear.

Catherine nodded – she indeed didn’t know anything about it. She just noticed that the imposing manner from the man just now was quite different. She didn’t expect that he had such an experience.

“But, Catherine, please don’t spread it out. The James family has told the public that Ethan was their youngest son who has been raised outside.”

Catherine said with a smile, “I’m not that idle and nosy.” Until it was almost dawn, Catherine walked out from the Sky Club, dizzy and muddleheaded.

“Catherine, do you need me to drive you home?” Aurora was staggering as well. “My driver has arrived to pick me up.”

Catherine waved her hand to reject. “No, thanks. I’ll take a taxi back home.”

It was quite easy to hail a taxi outside Sky Club. With a wave, a car approached Catherine. She staggered to sit in and bid with Aurora farewell.

On the third floor of the Sky Club, Anderson’s face was darkened when seeing the woman with an enchanting smile outside.

Joshua was frightened while standing next to him. He said gingerly, “It was Aurora who asked her out. She didn’t do anything outline. I’ll remind Aurora in the future, asking her not to hang out with your wife.”

‘I’ve told you not to take her as my wife. She doesn’t deserve it.” After Anderson finished his words, he strode away.

“Fuck!” Joshua cursed, following Anderson.

As soon as walking into her apartment, Catherine collapsed down on the ground while leaning against the door. Looking at the empty room, she became sad for some reason. She couldn’t do anything well. Her children were taken away by Anderson. He also ruined her job. She felt she was just a loser – her life was led to hell, towards the destruction…

Once again, the idea of ending her life appeared in her mind. All through these years, such an idea had appeared countless times.

In an instant, Catherine realized that her disorder has broken up again. She forced herself to break free from the distress. With trembling hands, she took out the medicine from her bag. She poured them out and stuff them all into her mouth, swallowing. After a long while, she finally calmed down.

In the next half month, Catherine spent her days in the same way. She spent all nights with Aurora in Sky Club and days sleeping at home.

She was always muddleheaded, like a walking dead under a human’s skin.

“Catherine, would you like to find a job?” Aurora asked her seriously one day. Sitting in a quiet corner, she didn’t ask Catherine to drink.

Catherine smiled bitterly, “Believe or not, as soon as I’ve found a job, I would be fired the next second.”

She had tried once. When she sobered up these days, she had sent her resume to countless companies, but there was no response at all. Nobody dared to hire her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Biting her lower lip, Aurora said, “Anderson has gone too far indeed. You are pretty close to Owen Torres. Haven’t you thought of seeking protection from him?”

Catherine shook her head. She said in a calm and cold tone, “I’m a stranger to Owen now.”

Aurora could figure out that she didn’t want to make trouble to Owen. Frowning and thinking for a moment, Aurora grabbed her hand and stood up. “Come on. Follow me to a place.”

Dragged by Aurora, Catherine passed a lot of people. The further they went, the quieter it was. In front of a door, Aurora pushed the door open and walked in.

Ethan was reading a comics book while nestling on a sofa. Hearing the noise at the door, he turned around and looked over at Aurora and Catherine. He asked with a frown, “Why are you here?”

Aurora seemed to know him very well. Pulling Catherine, she walked to him. “I want a job offer from you.”

Ethan’s office was the most unique office that Catherine had ever seen. On the shelf, most of the business owners would put classical masterpieces or things relevant to their companies. However, in Ethan’s office, there was a huge wall, on which all kinds of girls’ comic books were placed.

Even on his desk, there were girls’ comics.

During these days when Catherine was hanging out in Sky Club, she often met this man. However, whenever she saw him, he always looked cold. Either he would drink like a gangster or nap in a corner.

Seeing Ethan reading the girls’ comic book while nestling on the sofa, Catherine was astonished.

“Haven’t you just set up a comic website? Catherine has been drawing comics for a lot of years. Could your company hire her?” As Aurora spoke, she pushed Catherine in front of Ethan.

Off guard, Catherine was pushed in front of Ethan by Aurora. She didn’t panic. With a calm smile, she said, “Hi, Mr. James. Nice to see you again. Thank you for helping me last time.”

Ethan looked at her up and down. With a frown, he said, “She’s not suitable. I’ve seen her drawing style, which doesn’t fit my website.”

“You love reading the girls’ comics, but are you sure all the readers of your platform would love girls’ comics? Catherine was quite popular before, which meant that a lot of readers are into reasoning comics as well,” said Aurora irritably.

Ethan said, “But I set up the website just because I want to read the comics that I like.” Aurora looked startled. She had never expected that Ethan set up his own website just for this reason.

Ethan stood up and smiled. When he smiled, he looked like a gangster again. Catherine indeed couldn’t imagine that he was someone who liked reading girls’ comics

Ethan circled Catherine and raised her chin with a finger casually. “You don’t like Anderson Clark, and neither do I coincidentally. I can give you a chance.”

If he hired Anderson’s ex-wife as his employee, it could sicken Anderson and the deal seemed not bad. Feeling the touch from the man, Catherine took a step back.

Noticing her reaction, Ethan smiled again. “Accompany me to attend a banquet tomorrow. I’ll sign the contract with you and provide you with all necessary resources.”

Aurora poked at Catherine. “Say yes, Catherine. Now within City W, he is the only one who is capable to be against Anderson. Owen still needs to care about his family, but Ethan doesn’t have such a concern. After the inheritor of the James family has died, he has all kinds of resources now.”

Catherine bit her lower lips without speaking. Now someone dared to hire her, so naturally, she was quite delighted, but…

“Don’t you want to sicken Anderson Clark?”
