Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 174

Chapter 174 “Alright, I’ll fix it right away,” said Catelyn. She erased the original design section, re-outlined the whole draft, and made some adjustments according to the proportions.

It was difficult to do her work while lying on her stomach on the ground, so she simply squatted beside the coffee table.

Cedrick just glanced at her indifferently, but he suddenly felt a burning sensation inside as if a flame within him had just started.

He leaned back and put one hand on the sofa cushion, averting his gaze from her. He then took a cigarette out from his pocket and lit it. The cigarette butt glowed and dimmed as he took a puff. While the smoke lingered around the room, it did not seem to bother Catelyn. Once she was in her serious working mood, nothing around could distract her.

After what seemed to be a long time, Catelyn finished her drawing and handed it to Cedrick hurriedly, not wanting to waste his precious time. Her pencil unexpectedly fell on the ground, and she bent down to pick it up. At the same time, Cedrick had also leaned over to pick up the pencil. Both of them got tangled up in the process… A brooch pinned to Catelyn’s chest got stuck on Cedrick’s belt buckle! “S-Sorry! I’ll untie it right away…” Catelyn muttered. She was forced to stay close to his lower abdomen.

How embarrassing! Cedrick’s breathing slowly grew heavier as he glanced at her, his eyes darkening. Catelyn did not dare make him angry, so she hurriedly tried to untie the brooch. However, the more anxious she became, the more difficult it was for her to untie it. Her knuckles trembled while doing so. After a long while, the brooch and belt buckle were still stuck, and they just would not budge. Why was this so hard to untie? This would probably be the last time Catelyn wore this brooch! Looking weakly at Cedrick, Catelyn helplessly went and tried to untie it from his belt buckle instead.

Catelyn was wearing thin clothes as it was summer. As her brooch got stuck, it caused her neckline to be pulled out in a large arc by the belt buckle.

“Not done yet?” Cedrick’s tone was somber, and Catelyn could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

“Just a little more…” Catelyn lowered her head and continued to pick the belt buckle, feeling like she was an utter fool in this situation. The veins on Cedrcik’s forehead popped a little. He grabbed her little hand, and with his index finger lightly on the side of the belt clip, he pressed it down hard. With the sound of a click the belt buckle came loose immediately. Finally! Catelyn saw Cedrick with a weird smile on his face as he pulled his belt out. She then hurriedly untied the brooch from it.

“You can just tell me that you like my belt, I can give it to you,” said Cedrick.

Catelyn held Cedrick’s belt in a daze, and she could feel his body temperature from the leather. Her face grew pink in embarrassment as she stuttered, “I… I really didn’t mean it! It was an accident…” “The design draft you did was good. Leave it here and make a copy for yourself,” interrupted Cedrick, not giving her the opportunity to explain.

He got up and went to his desk, leaving Catelyn speechless. The buckle of the belt seemed to be made of diamonds.

It was a very precious item! Why would he give this to her?

Catelyn insisted on returning the belt to Cedrick. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Cedrick stopped and turned around. This caught Catelyn by surprise, and she accidentally bumped into his back.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly turned cold. Covering the tip of her nose that was hurt by the bump, Catelyn took a step back in a panic, blushing in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I’m not quite myself today. I hope you don’t mind.”

Cedrick was, instead, amused at this, admiring her blushing cheeks. Regardless, his aloof expression never left his face. “Just leave your stuff here. You may leave.” Catelyn just stood there hesitatingly, feeling tangled at the moment.
