My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress - Chapter 20

The day before the event day, Cathy bought a gown for herself. So far, Cathy only bought things for her three sisters. She never bought for herself or cared about her appearance.

As long as she could wear a t-shirt and jeans that allowed her to move around freely, she didn’t care.

But this time was different. Her uncle asked her to be his assistant and accompany him to attend business events.

She couldn’t embarrass her uncle or do anything that could harm Uncle Ben.

However, there was one thing she didn’t understand. Why did that man tell her not to inform people that she was his niece?

As a result, some hotel employees looked at her cynically for being their hotel CEO secretary without a test.

Not only that, there was a woman who seemed to have a crush on her uncle; and her uncle let the woman misunderstand. The woman thought Cathy had a secret relationship with her uncle.

That girl was an heiress of Bernz corperation.

Every time the heiress visited their office, she would look at Cathy with displeasure or assume her didn’t exist.

This heiress even showed her intimidating aura to her. Well, Cathy was not affected as she felt indifferent towards the woman. She did nothing wrong as her relationship with Uncle Ben is not what the woman imagined. Therefore, she paid no heed to Bernz’s heiress.

Nevertheless, Cathy gave all her best to show those who underestimated her. Whether she Benjamin Paxton’s niece or lover, she wanted them all to see that she, Catherine West, could do her job professionally.

This was the only way to change the perspective of the employees. And she did it.

She could fulfill whatever Benjamin requests and solve it without any problem. Even if something happened that was not planned, Cathy could find a solution in no time.

Cathy herself was always maintaining a friendly manner to everyone she meets. She did not always follow her uncle when she was in the office.

If she thinks Ben did not have any task for her, she’ll go out and join the next department to make new acquaintances there.

Because of her open attitude, managers and staff also welcome her warmly. They no longer looked down on her or insulted her.

The only assignment she hasn’t been able to resolve was getting V to do the advertisement for the new project.

Even now, she still could not find a way to meet V. Benjamin did not mind it and gave her another task as he knew V wasn’t an easy person.

However, only Cathy knew that her uncle would never be looking for another photographer anytime soon. Because of that, she still hasn’t given up on completing her first assignment.

During the few days of her visit to the gallery, she heard several rumors about V. A famous photographer has a strange personality.

V was a thirty-two-year-old man with long hair covering his entire face. The man preferred to wear the same clothes for days and rarely goes out of his house.

[Vincent: What!? Who spread the rumors?]

With the shabby and beggar-like appearance, it’s no wonder that V did not want to meet people. At the end of the day, no one knew what V’s face looks like or where his house is.

Cathy was speechless when she heard the rumor. If no one has ever met V before, how could words about V’s appearance spreading wild?

Cathy sighed resignedly, picking out a dress.

She had never been to an event where all the rich gathered together, so she didn’t know what kind of clothes she should wear. Should it be very luxurious or straightforward but elegant or just plain?

Because her position was only as an assistant, she picked a knee-length dress with short sleeves. The dress she chose had brokets on both sleeves and had a flower shape at the skirt’s bottom.

Simple but elegant, that was the impression she wanted to put on. She would wear ribbon-strap heels, a birthday gift from her three younger siblings. These heels could make her as much as three centimeters taller.

After paying for the clothes she chose, Cathy paid a visit once again to the V collection gallery. She hopes to meet the young man he met on the bus two days ago.

If she couldn’t persuade Frank to make her meet V, maybe she could convince the young man.

Yesterday she didn’t go there because her work duties were too full and she was too tired to take the time. Therefore, once finished and got permission to go home, Cathy went straight to her house and rested.

Even though she had worked there for one week and adapted to her job, her body could still not adapt as a personal assistant required to use all her brain and stamina. Therefore, she felt exhausted, as this was the first time she needed to use all of her skills for hours altogether.

When she was working in a restaurant, she didn’t have to think too hard. Cathy only used her energy, which only four to five hours per day, because she was only a part-time worker.

On the other hand, in her current profession, Cathy arrived at eight in the morning until late at night, depending on her uncle. If Ben comes home at six, then she’ll be home too. But if Ben comes home at ten, then she will go home at the same time.

Luckily her uncle was kind enough to tell her to get home if it was too late. At least she could still take the last bus.

“Hi, Cathy. I thought you weren’t coming back.” Frank said, looking cheerful upon seeing her arrival.

Cathy always used her break time to visit the gallery. Sometimes she took advantage of the time waiting for her uncle, who was in a meeting, by stopping by the gallery.

“How could it be,” replied Cathy with a smile. “I still haven’t given up.”

Frank laughed. “V is back here.”

“Really? When can I meet him?”

“About that .. sorry, I’m not sure at this time V wants to meet people.”

“Is there absolutely no way?” Cathy put on an innocent face with a pitiful look.

Frank scratched his head, which didn’t get itchy at all. Seeing the expression of the girl before him, he found it very difficult to say no.

But he also couldn’t just reveal V’s identity or give Vincent’s contact to the girl.

He was at a complete stalemate. He didn’t know what to answer and kept thinking of a way to escape the girl’s request.

The merciful God could hear his prayers, and a visitor summoned him.

“I’m sorry, that’s my cue. Next time you come when V is here, I’ll bring you to his office,” he replied before rushing towards the visitor who had called him.

Cathy sighed in resignation and looked at Frank with annoyance. If he didn’t intend to call V here, why did he tell her V had returned?

In the end, Cathy decided to return to her office without thinking about the incident. She reread his uncle’s schedule for the day and checked what was needed for the afternoon meeting.
