I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 64

Shortly after Catherine woke up the next morning, she received a call from Arthur. “Good morning, Miss Johnson. Mr. Clark wants to see you in Clark Group.” Arthur’s tone was quite polite.

Catherine looked out of the window and thought for a moment. “Arthur, does he want to see me for the matter that Johanna Scott wants to play the role of Amanda?”

Arthur was hesitating. He knew it clearly that Mr. Clark wanted to see her for that purpose indeed, but it would be too ruthless if he told her directly.

“I’m not quite certain about it. Perhaps you may want to ask Mr. Clark after coming over,” Arthur lied.

Catherine wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Anderson’s personality, she realized that he would surely threaten her with her children if she said no.

When she walked into Clark Group again, Catherine found that all the employees who met her were staring at her in sympathy. “What’s she doing here? She’s not pestering Mr. Clark, is she?”

“You’ve overthought. She’s the woman that Mr. Clark hated the most. I guess she just could bear to seeing how intimate Mr. Clark and Miss Johanna are.”

“Alas… She couldn’t win Mr. Clark’s heart, but why she’s so persistent?”

In the past, those people would be more restrained and discuss at her back, but now they could discuss in her presence. Catherine cast a glance at those gossiping people. Her gaze was sharp and cold, making them shut up immediately. They were scared by her gaze.

Anderson was working on some documents. Hearing that the person walked in without knocking, he subconsciously frowned. When he looked up and saw Catherine, his brows were loosened.

As soon as Catherine walked into his office, she found there was something quite different.

In the office that was mainly black, white, and gray, there was a cartoon cushion on the sofa. Besides flowers, there were also photo frames on his desk.

Looking at the face with a sweet smile on the photos, Catherine couldn’t differ it was Isabella or Johanna for a moment. Sadness surged in her heart gradually.

Trying to ignore those stuffs, she looked into Anderson’s eyes. “Why did you ask me to come over? Please tell me directly and don’t waste our time.”

Her tone was too aloof and cold, making Anderson frown again.

Looking at him, Catherine laughed ironically. “Your copied version of Isabella has told me that she wants to play the role of Amanda.”

Anderson laughed because he was too angry with her attitude. “Yeah. Give the actress for Amanda in next season to Johanna.”

His cold words smashed on her. Although she had known it earlier, when she heard him say that, Catherine still felt a sharp pang in her chest in sorrow.

Anderson stood up, walking to Catherine step by step. With a long face, he gave her a lot of pressure. Catherine couldn’t help but take steps back.

In the end, she was pressed against the desk by Anderson. He raised her chin with his slender fingers and asked coldly, “Why? You are reluctant, aren’t you?”

Catherine bit her lower lip, and her beautiful eyes were full of hatred.

“Do you think you have rights to say no?” Anderson curled up his lips into a smile. “Catherine Johnson, I’ll certainly give this role to Johanna.”

Catherine knew that she didn’t have any rights. She was just the original author of the book; while Anderson was the investor.

She smiled bitterly, biting her lower lips so hard that they bled as if she couldn’t feel the pain. All of a sudden, she pushed Anderson away.

Off guard, Anderson lost his balance and staggered backward.

Catherine wiped the blood off her lips. Gazing at Anderson coldly, she said, “I don’t have the right. I’m just the original author who has got the copyright fee. No matter how the drama would be shot and no matter whether if it would be shot or not, it only depends on the sponsor who has bought the copyright.”

“Why did you ask me to come here then?” Catherine questioned him coldly. “You just want to humiliate me, don’t you?” Her question was too harsh. Anderson had never thought about the meaning behind it. With a frown, he denied, “Don’t ever use your malicious heart to guess what I thought.”

With a pale face and lips that still had the bloodstains, Catherine looked extremely miserable. “Anderson Clark, as soon as the matter is relevant to Isabella, you acted as if you were an idiot. Now the woman just has the same face as Isabella’s, and your intelligence has gone.

‘It’s your business that you are willing to provide her with resources. You can spend money and give her the role. But in the investment circle, profit is the most important. Do you think Johanna Scott could give you a good return on investment?

“The current actress of Amanda has quite good acting skills, which has been recognized by the public. If the actress is changed suddenly, do you think if the public would boycott Johanna?”

Anderson was rendered speechless. Every single word from Catherine made sense.

Indeed, he had known what she said. However, as long as he saw the sadness on the face that was so similar to Isabella’s, he didn’t want to see Johanna be upset.

The initiative gradually returned in Catherine’s hands. She smiled more and more leisurely. “Recently online and on TV, there are so many promotions about Johanna Scott. You must have spent a lot of money to make her famous, right?

“Have you received any effects? Her personality isn’t pleasant and she sucks in acting. She’s always like the background board when shooting. If she indeed played the role of Amanda, do you think there would be more netizens criticizing her or praising her?” Catherine took a step forward, looking at Anderson with a smile.

Her smile displeased Anderson a lot. She was indeed smart, far smarter than he had imagined. Anderson fell into the silence for a long while.

Catherine kept smiling, which made him disgusted.

“Mommy, here you came!”

When they were still in a deadlock, Sophia pushed the office door open and rushed in. Raising her head, she circled Catherine. “Mommy, I miss you!”

Her little face rubbed on Catherine’s thighs dearly. In a hurry, Catherine squatted down. The smile on her face became more sincere. “Why are you two here?” “Daddy asked Uncle Paul to send us here.” Sophia’s voice was quite clear.

Catherine was taken aback. Much to her surprise, it was Anderson who took the initiative to ask his man to send the kids here. Thinking of the scene that they were confronting each other with daggers, she had a weird feeling.

“Mommy, Daddy, I want to have a meal with you both.” Sophia smiled sweetly, looking at the two adults expectantly.

Since she had been with Anderson for a long time, Sophia was familiar with him. Seeing Catherine keep silent, she pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. “Mommy, I haven’t eaten with you for a long time.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Catherine felt soreness in her heart. “I’ll accompany you for lunch then, all right?” “Nah. I want to go with Mommy and Daddy together.”

Lincoln looked at them coldly when standing aside. There was no expectant in his ink-black eyes. In his opinion, Anderson wasn’t his father at all.

There would be no father in this world who would treat his own children that way.

Sophia grabbed Catherine over. Looking over at Anderson pitifully, she said in a crying tone, “Daddy, let’s go for lunch together. Please!”

Anderson saw Catherine’s denying look, slightly nodded. “Mommy, Daddy has agreed. You can’t disagree.” Catherine couldn’t do anything. They chose to have lunch in a private restaurant the Hualing Plaza.

Although in the shopping mall, the private restaurant maintained the customers’ privacy professionally. There were not so many customers in the restaurant. They were sitting next to the window.

Since she could have lunch with her parents, Sophia was quite excited. She insisted that Catherine sitting next to Anderson.

Catherine had become sickened with Anderson already. “I haven’t seen you for a long time, Sophia. May I sit next to you?”
