CHRISTINA HANSON'S PROMOTION DIARY

Chapter 18: Important Day

“The old way?… No way! Can not! Do you think Freddy has ever met a girl before? Don't you see his very agitated and daring behavior towards her? Freddy certainly won't let this go if we get tough on her. For a tough type like her, we have to make her find it hard to retreat.”

Lance almost dropped the teacup in his hand. He felt that everything was too quick. Lance's face suddenly changed color. The male assistant staff felt that Lance seemed to change to dizziness. But he dared to discuss this. For more than a year, accompanying and standing side by side with Lance in the marketplace, he also understood his personality.

“The president has to attack. He has to get the upper hand. Do not let Uncle Freddy fall into her hands. President, our grandparents used to teach 'immortal defense and vigor'. That is the time for the President to strike the decisive blow.”

The male assistant immediately cheered on Lance Howling's spirit, a belief that rose to the sky in his heart. Until now, the Chairman of Howling Group has never failed in the market and the situation. The male assistant said that Lance could have more than enough to take Katherine Manson down and then kick her out of the life of Marketing Director Freddy.

On the surface, the male assistant staff always cheers for Lance Howling, but in reality, in his heart, he prays that Katherine Manson is safe and sound.

"It's correct! I can't stand still and watch anymore! We must take her back into our hands. You go to arrange an appointment. I will meet in person." Lance Howling looked determinedly at the male assistant. He could only bow his head and sigh quietly. The male assistant thought to himself what strange tricks Lance was doing?

The whole office of the Chairman suddenly fell into an unusually silent state. Only Lance's eyes were contemplative, glinting in the soft light.

Return to Katherine's house, where Macken tries to calm Kenny after his silly 'war of words'. He said he didn't care about him all this time, causing the distance between the two to become bigger and bigger. Kenny still proved to be a sensitive son to Macken.

He thinks that everything starts from his silence, hiding. If he had spoken earlier, perhaps he would understand.

However, Macken quickly rejected Kenny's opinion, saying Kenny could speak whenever he wanted without depending on him. Although Macken is not a psychological father, he always has great affection for his family in his way.

The story between Kenny and Macken ends with the boy following him and begging him to date John Devoilt when he tells him that he is going to smash Baby Pop because he dared to seduce his son. Macken also claims that he knows a lot of other good guys and promises to introduce Kenny.

At this point, he only had to ask Katherine and Lily to stop him from doing crazy things. Of course, Katherine put all the responsibility on Lily's tiny shoulders. She sighed and said to Macken: “This year is 2022. It's not medieval, so you shouldn't force Kenny. Whether John Devoilt is a jerk, Kenny wants to be slapped or rubbed in the face… that's his decision."

“Is it a seven or eight-year-old child?” Macken frowned at Katherine, then pointed at Lily. It sighed, brushed its hand away, and went straight to its room.

Katherine smiled when she finally saw Macken and Kenny go silent. The two seem to have understood each other well, and right now, words may be the only barrier. Kenny tried to eat quickly and then went back to his room.

Macken looked at Katherine. She told him to give him more time to be confident enough to face his family. Macken asked Katherine if she had known Kenny's disposition for a long time. Katherine nodded, saying that Kenny was always waiting for the right opportunity to 'open up' with the family. And Katherine respects that decision of yours.

Macken heard this and did not say a word to her. He quietly returned to his room. Katherine sighed heavily. She never expected this meal to be so difficult to swallow. Macken was in no mood to go to work, and Katherine didn't want to stay home longer. The awkwardness quickly took over the entire place.

Katherine had just returned to the restaurant when everyone was surprised by her appearance. They still think she needs more time to rest. Especially today, Katherine still started work as usual.

However, no matter how hard Katherine tried, she could not detect Krik. She asked a few others who said he hadn't appeared since the horrible evening of two English roasts.

The electronic clock on the wall signaled Katherine that the time had passed. She was shocked to realize that today was an important day for her. Katherine instructs everyone to continue working with the old menus, and she leaves the Home Sweet Home restaurant without forgetting to notify Kenny and Macken.

Katherine stopped by a flower shop near the restaurant, picked up a bouquet of sunflowers, and took a taxi to the New York cemetery in haste and sadness.

As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the cemetery gate, Katherine woke up from haunting dreams about the past. Katherine walked leisurely to the side of her mother's grave as if no one had cleaned it for a long time. The dust blurred the picture on her tombstone. The flower branches had withered like ashes and collapsed on the ground—vase rim.

Katherine leaned down gently. She took out a towel to wipe it carefully, the sunlight was beginning to be very harsh on her head, and her sweat was profuse.

After Katherine had cleaned up, she put a bouquet of sunflowers in the vase, which was the flower that her mother loved so much in her childhood. She is someone who has a deep passion for the bright, optimistic beauty of sunflowers. Katherine's mother even devoted a yard to growing sunflowers at home.

After her death, Macken gave the sunflowers to a distant relative. Because he couldn't bear to see her figure wandering around the house, it was a challenging time for him and Katherine.

Sometimes, she thought to herself that her mother's departure had swept away the optimism of her father and son. She is a romantic optimist. Even when she found out she had cancer, she happily lived to the fullest for the short time she had left.

Katherine smiled as she recalled the late afternoons when she returned from school early. She would go with her mother to the garden to see the flowers and listen to her retell the happy stories she had experienced. Katherine felt nostalgic when she no longer had the opportunity to see flowers with her mother.

Katherine reached out and touched her mother's picture frame on the tombstone. Katherine sat down on the gravel, her back against the grave.

She remembered the image of years ago in this same place. Katherine burst into tears, feeling that everything was unfair to her when she tried to be strong, to the point that sometimes she lost herself.

The day her mother died was just an ordinary day like any other, but it was because of that normalcy that haunted her every day, every hour. From then until now, she was still in a situation that did not get better. Whenever Katherine felt her weakest, she would go there.

Perhaps God gave Katherine success too quickly, but he decided not to give her unconditional family love. Everything was so quick, so short, just like the happy childhood that she had. A gentle breeze sways a wildflower still on the green grass. Katherine smiles, thanking herself for allowing herself to enjoy moments like this so she can embrace herself. Dear.

“Mother, I still remember those days when our family still had a mother, two women taking care of each other, peacefully day after day, without trouble. I also miss your mother's warmer smile than the California sunshine.

When will our family of five be able to enjoy these magical moments?" Katherine's tears were short and long as she looked at her mother's remains. Katherine found herself being hugged and caressed by her mother in a fanciful dreamlike before.

At that moment, the peaceful moments were all shattered by the employees' panic at Howling Corporation as Lance was screaming at everyone for losing an important document that he needed to consult. Lance Howling growls at everyone. He threatens to return to the Corporation if he still can't find it. He will fire the Division Manager. Soon after, he disappeared from Howling Corporation headquarters.

Lance's cell phone was never reached, although people had called everywhere but did not receive any useful information about him. Freddy ran around looking for him but couldn't find him.
