He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 63

"I’ve been waiting for hours, sis. You should compensate me with something," Erin said.

Kate clenched her bag as she was trying to gather enough strength and self-control not to accidentally claw her bitch of a sister’s face.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the side of her desk. She stood right beside Erin, who was leaning back leisurely on her executive chair. "That’s my seat. Get off."

"Hm? Get off?" Erin smirked.

She put her feet up on the desk and leaned to put more weight on her back, making her lean deeper into the seat. "This is just a chair, why are you being so petty?"

"..." Kate went silent for a moment. She didn’t want to fight over something as stupid as a chair, so she decided to change the topic before their arguments turned bad and Erin decided to threaten her again with her mother’s weak hert. "Why are you here? What do you want?"

"I mean, it’s obvious, right? I’m totally unemployed right now and have been jobless for quite a while since graduation. Don’t you think I deserve to get a job? I mean, my SISTER just so happens to be the CHIEF EDITOR of a very successful publishing company. It shouldn’t be hard for you to give me a job," Erin said, emphasizing certain words to get her message across.

Kate already knew what Erin wanted.

In all honesty, Erin was an open book. She was easy to read but also very reckless and ruthless. She stopped at nothing to get whatever she wanted even if that meant she’d hurt one or two people along the way.

"You are not qualified to work here," Kate said without hesitation. "We’ve been through this before. I will give you a chance to do an interview without a test. I told you to study everything about the company’s policy, vision and mission, and also to study at least four classical or contemporary works of fiction of your choice. You have it easy, and yet you still fail."

"Well, that’s because the interviewer is biased against me," Erin rolled her eyes and flipped her hair. "She’s probably jealous because she looks like a hippo while I look like a model. That’s why you shouldn’t hire ugly people in this office, they’re so jealous for no reason at all!"

Kate’s heart grew even colder as she saw Erin’s blatant entitlement. She wasn’t even ashamed after failing something as simple as an interview.

"The interviewer said that you could not answer correctly any of the questions they asked you. You had no clue about the company’s policy, vision and mission, you didn’t even know a single book that we published," Kate said coldly. "You studied nothing and still expect us to accept you? We don’t pay lazy illiterate employees."

"Ugh, whatever," Erin shrugged. "I have the Chief Editor as my sister, shouldn’t I just be given the job without that bullshit interview? I bet you even told that hippo interviewer to fail me because you know everyone will like me more once I start working in this office and you will be thrown away."

Kate glared at her sister as she could feel the rage boiling in her heart.

"You’re just too plain, maybe even a little ugly," Erin commented as she looked at her sister from head to toe. "I bet I can come in here and replace you as the Chief Editor, prettier one, of course."

Kate’s lips thinned, "It’s not an easy job."

"Yeah, yeah, that’s what they all say," Erin said as she waved her hand, rolling her eyes as if Kate was making things up to dissuade her. "What do you do on a daily basis anyway? You just read books, and get paid to read them, right? Even a primary school student could do your job."

When Kate remained silent, Erin added, "So give me a job now, Sis, and make sure that I will have to work in this office, so I can always be around you~."

"You just want to meet my boss, right?" Kate went straight to the point, knowing how much of a shallow social climber Erin was. "Did you fall in love with him after meeting him at the restaurant?"

"Bullseye, maybe you’re not so dumb after all" Erin giggled. "Yeah, you got me. He was so goddamn handsome. Have you seen Sean O’ Pry? Your Boss has the exact same eyes, it’s so deep, and sharp, and it makes me melt! OMG, everything about him just screams model—no, Actor!"

Erin behaved like a fangirl who had just met her idol. Kate knew that Erin was after Henry because Erin also behaved the same way with Matt when she was younger.

Whenever she liked a man, she would act like that man was an angel who had fallen from heaven and then she did everything she could to have him, even if that man was already married or had a girlfriend.

But Kate had never seen Erin this crazy for a man. The look in her eyes showed that she was rabid for Henry, making her obsession very obvious, which greatly concerned Kate.

"He is off limits, Erin," Kate said.

"Why? Because you like him too?"

Kate’s body stiffened, but she recovered quickly, hopefully Erin hadn’t noticed any reaction from her, "I don’t like him, but he is a very busy man. He won’t have time for a lazy ass like you."

Erin faked a yawn to mock Kate, "Ah, boring, you have no idea what a man will do for his woman if she’s pretty, he will willingly do anything and everything for her. You’re just too boring and ugly, that’s why Matt cheated on you."

"Anyway, why don’t you serve me something? I’m totally thirsty. Go tell that ugly woman outside to make me a coffee," Erin ordered Kate.

Kate clenched her fists but gave up in the end. She walked to the door and told Mai, who had been guarding outside, "Go make two cups of coffee and bring it to my office."

"For that woman—I mean your sister, Ma’am?" Mai asked.

"Yes," Kate replied. "I’m sorry, Mai. She’s just that unbearable."

"It’s okay, Ma’am," Mai replied. "I’ll make two cups of coffee then, please excuse me."

"Oh, Mai—"

"Yes?"

Kate glanced at the CEO’s office right next to hers, "Mr. Grant hasn’t come in yet?"

"Not yet, Ma’am."

"Good, make sure that nobody comes into my office," Kate said. "Not even Mr. Grant."

"But, what should I do if Mr. Grant insists on coming in to your office like yesterday, Ma’am?" Mai asked. "He can be very stubborn."

"Just do whatever you can to stop him," Kate replied. "Besides, I don’t think Mr. Grant will come to the office today, at least not after what happened between us yesterday."

"What happened between you and Mr—"

SLAM!

"—Grant..."

Mai was left with a lot of questions in her mind due to Mrs. Woods’ last sentence. Something must’ve happened between them, but they seemed to be in a good mood the last time Mai met them.

"I’m not sure either, but maybe it’s just another lover’s quarrel."
