My Sweetheart

“Grandfather, I’m afraid that I can’t.”

“I know that in the next 3 years you want to continue with a post-graduate degree. When you are finished with your studies, you will succeed all the businesses of the Booth group.”

Zack didn’t allow Kathy to decline.

“Rest assured, Bertie will assist you.”

Kathy pursed her lips. Bertie…

Once she walked grandfather back to his room, Kathy went down to the living room.

Bertie came back without her noticing and stood behind her which startled her.

“Why are you so scared of me?” Bertie raised his eyebrows.

Kathy glared at him with disdain. “Don’t bother me.” She wanted to be left alone.

“What did grandfather say to you?” Bertie sat down beside her.

Kathy pursed her lips and looked at Bertie who seemed to have keen insight into all matters.

When she thought about having to learn from Bertie how to run a business … she felt truly repulsed!

“None of your business.”

Bertie spoke for his own interests, “Let me guess. Did he say that you are to learn from me at the Booth Group? After all, grandfather intends to hand over the Booth group to you.”

Kathy was deep in her thoughts.

“You can’t refuse, can you? Or do you want to hand over the Booth Group to me submissively?” Bertie twitched his eyebrows.

“In your dreams!” Kathy retorted instantly.

She pondered about her next three years of studying clinical medicine which had nothing to do with the business sector. If she can’t become a doctor in the future, then what she will be studying for the next three years would be useless.

“I know what you are struggling with. That’s why you can hand over the Booth Group to me and then just take the annual dividends.” Bertie said.

Kathy was unfamiliar with Bertie’s capabilities.

He looked to be barely thirty years old and had earlier succeeded Marshall Group and Booth Group was only another portion of his portfolio.

Why did Zack trust him so much?

Kathy can’t help but look at Bertie. This man’s steadfastness and maturity were unquestionable but, in her opinion, he lacked personality.
