Can't Help Falling In Love
Chapter 31 Meeting Grandma Again

As soon as she returned to the secretary's office, Kate received the message from Jacob that she had to work overtime tonight. She was the only one working overtime in the whole secretary's office. Although she can get overtime pay, it would be a little dangerous for her to work overtime alone.

But Kate had to give up at the thought of Brian's personality that once he made a decision, it was hard for anyone to change it.

"Do you get used to working here?" Jacob asked with a smile.

"Not bad. People here seem to be very nice. They are not as horrible as you said." Kate remembered the words that Jacob had told to her this morning that the women in the secretary's office are not to be trifled.

"Of course, they are all on a diet and there is no trifle for them." Jacob chuckled.

"Jacob!" Kate gave him an angry stare. Because of his words, she was nervous the whole morning. She was afraid that those colleagues would replace fault with her.

Jacob stopped laughing and said, "In the office, don't completely let your guard down because someone have treat you well. Just do your job well and don't think about developing friendship. Love is a feeling of loss. "

Kate nodded. The book of workplace strategy was written in this way.

"As the secretary to the CEO, there are three rules on it. First, don't try to seduce the CEO. Second, don't have any hope of owning the CEO. "

Jacob paused and glimpsed at Kate, "Third, your work ability must be better than others. You'd better work faster than a computer."

Then Jacob smiled, "Remember."

Kate nodded her head seriously. Jacob patted her shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and left.

After Jacob left, Kate's serious expression immediately collapsed. Although the CEO was very handsome, she should not have any interest in him, should she? But she couldn't help blushing when she thought of Brian's chest muscle that was exposed sometime. And did she really have no hope of owning Brian?

The most critical point is how her work could be comparable to a computer. She is even worse than others, let alone the computer.

As much as she thought about it, it seemed that there was no condition Kate could match.

Depressed, Kate went back to her work and began to type on the keyboard.

The office was really quiet. Kate raised her head and looked at the other four people. They were all focusing on work and not chatting. Occasionally chatting with others was about work. It seemed that she was the only one that would be distracted.

"Kate, write a contract for that program and hand it over to me tomorrow." Vicky came over with a piece of paper and said to Kate.

Kate looked at the messy relationship on the document and frowned. She knew that the contract needed to be extremely careful and careful, because sometimes, a single word made different meanings. "Vicky, Kate is still a newcomer. I don't think it's a good idea." A woman retorted.

Kate raised her head and looked at that woman who looked sweet. She was exactly like her name, Lea.

"I believe in Kate. After all, she was brought back by our CEO. This is a chance to prove your ability." Vicky said in a domineering tone although she was still smiling.

Kate was a little timid, but after she heard what Vicky said, her hidden hostility was triggered. She was brought back by the CEO, and she couldn't lose the CEO's face.

After Kate took the long papers, she smiled at Vicky and said, "Okay."

Kate felt that she was like a brave general at that moment.

"Come on!" Vicky patted her on the shoulder and left with a smile.

"You can ask us if you have any questions." Said Lea.

Kate nodded and thanked Lea.

Kate was really confused by that document, but she had to read it with patience.

Kate didn't know when all the people in the secretary's office left. The setting sun shone on the desk through the large French window. She stretched and walked to the window. It was the highest building in Z city. Standing here, people could see everything in Z city.

Kate opened her arms and made a gesture of flapping wings, enjoying the cool air outside the window. She felt like she was on top of the world.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from the door. When Kate turned her head, she saw Brian standing at the door.

When they looked at each other, Kate's face turned red. Luckily, the CEO could not see the blush on her face. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed. It seemed that she had already lost her face. "Come here." Brian crooked his finger at her.

Like a rabbit who had received an order, Kate walked towards Brian step by step.

"Hello, Boss." Kate politely greeted Brian.

After taking a look at Kate, without saying a word, Brian turned and left.

Kate quickly ran to the desk and put tomorrow's document into her bag. Then she followed behind Brian and left.

"Hey, where's Jacob? Did he go home?" Kate followed Brian into the elevator and asked casually to replace a topic.

"Are you disappointed that you didn't see Jacob?" Instead of answering Kate's question, Brian asked.

"No, I'm not. It's just a casual question. " Kate answered without hesitation.

Sometimes, Kate looked away from Brian. Although it was impolite, she was still nervous when she saw his face, which may be because he is her boss.

So Kate didn't notice the subtle changes in the face of Brian.

Without asking, Kate knew where Brian would take her.

When they arrived at the destination, Kate found that the destination was indeed the hospital, just like what she had thought.

The old woman's ward was as clean as usual. When Kate and Brian arrived at the hospital, the old woman was taking care of a nurse while having dinner. When the nurse saw them, she quickly stood up, slightly bowed to Brian and gently said, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Brian nodded, indicating the nurse to leave first. The nurse put down the bowl and chopsticks and left.

"Hi, Brian." The old woman gave a reluctant smile when she saw Brian.

The frown on Brian's face disappeared. He picked up the bowl, and fed the old woman with a smile.

If Kate hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the man in front of her was actually Brian. During this period, an old doctor came in. Then Brian and the old doctor went out, leaving Kate alone in the ward. "Grandma, be careful, it's a little hot." Kate blew on the porridge to cool it as well, and then fed the old woman. "Kate, is that you?" The old woman asked in a weak voice, squinting.

Kate nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's me."

"I know you. You came here the day before yesterday, right?" Although the old woman's voice was weak, she thought things clearly. After a short pause, Kate nodded.

"Dear, it seems that I can't see my great-grandson or great-granddaughter to come to the world. You should take good care of Brian."

"Don't think too much. You will be a hundred years old." Kate tried to comfort her.

The old woman forced a smile and said, "Brian has lost his mother since he was a child. He looks strong and indifferent. But in fact, he is a child in need of care."

Kate nodded.

It turned out that Brian's mother died when he was a child. No wonder he had never mentioned anything about his family.

"And please help me persuade Brian not to investigate the cause of his mother's death. People should live in the moment and should not get caught up in the past."

Kate was shocked. It seemed that she got a very terrible inside story. Was there a plot behind the CEO's mother's death?

The old woman struggled to get up, and Kate hurried to hold her. She took out a jade bracelet from under the pillow, put it in Kate's hand, and said, "Kate, this is for you, it was Brian's mother's, but..." The old woman paused and continued, "Take it well. It's a gift from his mother and me."

Of course, Kate didn't dare to take the jade bracelet. She and Brian were a fake couple. How could she accept the old woman's kindness?

But the old woman wanted to shove the jade bracelet into Kate's hand. Kate didn't want to disappoint her, so she just took it and sent it back to Brian later.

Seeing that Kate put it away, the old woman seemed to be relieved. She smiled and said, "Then I can rest assured."

"Thank you, grandma." Kate felt guilty, and she also felt heavy.

"Silly girl, don't say thanks to your family." The old woman chuckled.

Kate's heart was weighed down with anxiety. She didn't dare to look into the old woman's sincere eyes. Grandma would be very disappointed if she knew that Brian's marriage to her was just a show.

No, even if Brian didn't want to hide the truth any more, she would never let her grandma know. Some kind lies were more comforting than the truth.

"Alas! If Brian's mother was still alive, Brian couldn't live so hard these years." The old woman sighed.

After hearing the old woman's words, Kate realized that she actually knew nothing about Brian. She knew nothing about Brian's family, and he never mentioned it to her.

It seemed that grandmother was the only family that was admitted by Brian.

Every word that the old woman said was something she never knew.

"Brian's mother must be a gentle, beautiful woman," Said Kate with a smile.

"Yes, Brian's mother was very gentle and kindhearted from an early age. His parents fell in love with each other before his father took over the company and gave birth to the baby. The relationship between his parents is doomed to attract people's criticism... " The old woman suddenly began to cough.

Kate hurriedly reached out and gently patted the old woman's back. At this time, Brian and the old doctor came in. The old doctor skillfully made the diagnosis, letting the old woman lie in bed, and turned to Brain and Kate, "The old woman needs to rest now."

Brian nodded, walked to the bed and tucked grandma in before leaving with Kate hand in hand.

Brian and Kate both kept silent on the way.

Kate slightly turned her head, and Brian frowned with endless melancholy. On a sudden, Kate felt an urge to comfort him. But she thought about it for a while and didn't know what to say. It must be painful for him to mention his grandmother.
