Chapter 207 The Big Boss

"You're right, Ms. Johnson!” said Tyson with sudden realization.Kathleen said softly, “Though I'm notas good as Samuel in business, I'm not totally ignorant. Tyson, I'll handle the press conference theday after. Give me all the relevant information.” Okay,” replied Tyson excitedly.”We'll let Samuelhave a good rest,” said Kathleen as she looked at Samuel's handsome face.Yesterday he was deathlypale, but he had regained some color in him after one whole night of rest.”Okay.” Tyson noddedand added, “Shall I come round for you the day after?”"No," replied Kathleen impassively. “It's betterthat no one knows that Samuel is here with me. I'll drive there.”"Sure.” Tyson nodded again.Kathleenthen hung up.She let out a long sigh.She was confused and lost.In fact, she asked herself why shedid all that for.She pursed her lips and convinced herself that it was definitely not for Samuel.Shewas doing it for the Macari family.Diana and the rest of the family had been very good to her.Ifsomething were to happen to the Macari family, it would definitely affect them.Kathleen reiteratedto herself that she did it for the Macari family and not for Samuel.Definitely not.No way... The nextday, Kathleen was roused from her sleep by the ring tone of a phone.At first, she thought it was herphone.lt turned out to be Samuel's phone, and it displayed the caller ID of Ms. Schott.Kathleen wasinstantly wide awake.Oh, no. How can I forget about her completely?This is bad!Ms. Schott was inJadeborough and wanted to meet Samuel and was looking for him.It meant that she had to pick upthe call. After a moment of hesitation, Kathleen finally answered the call.”Hello,” said Kathleen

softly. The caller on the other end, obviously taken aback, asked, “Who are you?”It could bediscerned from the voice at once that the caller was someone elderly but authoritative.” I'mKathleen,” replied Kathleen Kathleen?Ms. Schott frowned and asked, “Why are you answeringSamuel's phone?"“Well...” Kathleen was at a loss for words.“Aren’t the two of you divorced?” Ms.Schott broke in, sounding displeased."Yes, but-" Kathleen pursed her lips and continued, “We aretogether again.”Ms. Schott said coldly, “I want to speak to Samuel."After a little hesitation, Kathleenanswered, “Ms. Schott, it's not convenient for Samuel to talk to you now. You can tell me what it's allabout and I will inform him."“Okay. Remind him what he said to me before—if I were to come toJadeborough and get him and my sister out of the Yoeger family, he will get engaged with mygranddaughter. Ask him if this still stands!” Ms. Schott replied angrily.Kathleen stiffened at what shehad just heard.Samuel is marrying Ms. Schott’s granddaughter? Why has Samuel never told meanything about it? Unless Samuel is trying to help her and has, therefore, agreed to Ms. Schott'scondition.”l get it,” answered Kathleen, feeling more and more uneasy with every passingminute.Then, she hung up with a big frown clouding her face.She found the matter hard to believebut was relieved that Ms. Schott had not insisted on seeing Samuel Still in her nightie, Kathleenreturned to her room.She walked up to the bedside and felt for the pulse on Samuel's wrist. Thepulse felt a lot stronger than it was yesterday.Perhaps, he would come round in less than sevendays.However, she was sure that he would not recover consciousness by tomorrow.Hence, it wasnecessary for her to go to the press conference.She poked Samuel's face and said, “Samuel, I haveunderestimated you. I thought you'd never marry, but it seems you have already made plans."Shecould not understand why she was feeling uneasy. Her heart felt heavy for no particularreason.Forget it. Maybe Ms. Schott's granddaughter is a beauty. It's nothing unusual if Samuel iscaptivated.Returning to her soliloquy, she said softly, “Since you have made other plans, why do youbother to look affectionate? You are such a cheater! You should have told me your intention tomarry Ms. Schott's granddaughter and I will never stand in your way. If you have planned a new lifewith another woman, you should stop seeing me and pay greater attention to your safety. Don'tmake your wife a widow right after you two get married.”Having aired her resentment, Kathleenstood up and prepared to leave At that moment, Samuel's hand flickered.Kathleen thought he wascoming round.However, he showed no further responses.Kathleen sighed and turned toleave.Samuel’s hand moved again, and his eyeballs started to roll, but nothing more happened.Thenext day, Kathleen asked Charles to help her apply for leave from the film crew.She drove to Floburywhere the press conference was being held.Tyson was waiting for her at the entrance of thevenue.She got out of the car to reveal a confident and professional persona, dressed in a light greenbusiness suit with a matching yellow silk shirt. Tyson blinked as he looked at her. “Ms. Johnson, youlook every inch the big boss of a company.“Kathleen replied softly, “I've gone through theinformation that you sent me yesterday. Everything seems to be in order.”"That's great.” Tyson wasstill feeling nervous. “But the most critical thing is to establish a good working relationship with thetop brass. You are not familiar with them, so-"“It's true that I'm not familiar with them,” cut inKathleen coldly. “But I don't see that as something to worry about. Let's go."“Okay.” Tyson noddedin response.Kathleen led the way, and Tyson followed behind.The moment they entered, attentionwas drawn to them.Kathleen could also hear the murmurs and mutterings among thosepresent."Why is Kathleen Johnson here?"“That must be Samuel's secretary behind her."“There areonly Kathleen and Samuel's secretary, but Samuel is not here. Where is he?"*It's rumored thatSamuel has disappeared. There has been no news of him for the past two or three days.""HasSamuel been kidnapped?”“Who knows but something must have happened. Otherwise, it's unlikelythat he hasn't been seen for the last few days.””If something happened to Samuel, why is the Macarifamily taking it so calmly? Stop your wild speculations for he may be coming soon.”“Let’s not talkabout when he'll come, but don't you replace things rather strange?” The question on everyone's lipswas why Kathleen was there."That's right. Why is she here for the press conference? Can she be aspecially invited guest?"“Do you invite your ex-wife as a guest to your press conference?""Of coursenot. However, isn't Samuel going after Kathleen? That's why she's invited.”Even so, Kathleen isalready here, but where is he?” “He should know better what kind of an occasion this is. What goodcan a guest do?"“Kathleen is not a guest. She's in partnership with Samuel, so it's perfectly normalfor her to come.”“Her presence serves no purpose. The key point is whether Samuel will be here. Infact, this press conference is of no importance at all. What counts is how to deal with the top-levelleaders so that they can be won over.”*Spot on. Only if they are convinced will Macari Group get theproject for land reclamation and urban development. If Samuel does not come, others will score anadvantage.”Kathleen remained calm in the face of the conjectures flying around her.Come whatmay, she was determined to help Samuel make the press conference a success.Tyson, on the otherhand, was very tense and nervous.Kathleen looked at him coolly and said, “I'm not even afraid. Whatare you afraid of?”
