His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 63

　　"Catherine."

　　Annette thought for a moment and called Catherine's name.

　　Catherine stopped and turned to look at Annette. There were still tears on her face.

　　"I will ask Austin if he has a position suitable for you in his company. I can introduce you to his company. Will you accept it?" Annette asked.

　　Catherine was stunned for a moment. "Are you serious?"

　　Annette nodded. "I will try my best. If it doesn't work, I will think of other ways."

　　"Why do you want to help me?"

　　"Because I don't want to feel guilty."

　　"Didn't you just say that you had a clear conscience?"

　　"Before I knew your situation, I hated what you did. After all, it is shameful to be a homewrecker. Though I couldn't agree with you about that, what you did for your family touched me. So, I am willing to help you."

　　Catherine choked and looked at Annette gratefully.

　　Annette looked at the bus coming from not far away and said, "I will leave now. I will call you when I have good news for you."

　　Annette walked past Catherine and left.

　　Catherine paused and said, "Annette, thank you."

　　Annette did not respond and ran toward the bus.

　　When she returned home, Connor's car was waiting downstairs.

　　They returned to Annette's place as usual.

　　Just as she closed the door, Annette's phone rang.

　　She hurriedly picked it up and said, "Austin."

　　"Annette, I was in a meeting just now. I just saw your message. You asked me to do you a favor?" Austin asked.

　　"Yes. I have a friend who needs a job now. Can you help her out?" Annette asked.

　　Austin said doubtfully, "Not you, but your friend? You never asked anything from me. It seems that your friend is very important to you. So, is your friend a man or a woman?"

　　"A woman. She is the same age as me. She really needs a job now, because something happened at her home. She will be at her best performance, as long as you give her this opportunity," Annette explained.

　　"Okay, since you asked, I agree. Tell her to come to my company tomorrow."

　　Annette smiled happily and said, "Austin, thank you."

　　She hung up the call and put the phone away.

　　But Connor said unhappily, "Why are you asking him for help instead of asking me?"

　　Annette thought for a moment and said, "Do you know who I am helping?"

　　Connor was really angry. He said, "You didn't try me. How would I know?"

　　"Catherine."

　　"She smeared you on the company forum today, and you actually wanted to help her?" Connor asked doubtfully.

　　"She smeared me because she thought that I posted the photo. Moreover, her story was quite pitiful, so I want to help her."

　　"What story?" Connor sounded dissatisfied.

　　Annette didn't hide it. She told Connor everything she knew about Catherine.

　　Annette sighed and said, "She was trying to do the right thing but only chose the wrong method. She didn't choose to be Melvin's lover to pursue a luxurious life. She wanted to save her father's life. Although I don't know much about the relationship between father and daughter, I think that if I don't help her now, she may get into deeper problems."

　　"Then why is it not appropriate to ask me for help?" Connor still did not understand. He said, "I can also give her a stable job."

　　"I know that you will agree to my request, but there are too many rumors about her in the company. Even if she stays, she won't be able to keep her head up."

　　Connor felt that Annette was very thoughtful.

　　Connor was no longer angry, but Annette was a little upset. "I've heard from Amanda that Melvin's wife is beautiful and has a good job. Is that not good enough for Melvin? Why would he still cheat on his wife? Are men all like this?"

　　"Melvin can't represent all men." Connor didn't think so.

　　Connor paused for a moment and said, "His mistake proves that a good man like me is precious."

　　Annette shivered exaggeratedly because she couldn't stand Connor's greasy talk. She felt that Connor was overconfident.

　　After dinner, Annette called Catherine.

　　Knowing that she could go to the Fisher Group to work, Catherine was excited and thanked Annette on the phone.

　　"Annette, thank you so much. Did you know that you saved my whole family? When I left the company, I had made up my mind. Even if I had to be a call girl, I would make enough money for my father's medical bills. In fact, when I made this decision, I was really scared. Thank you for saving me. And I'm sorry for posting those photos this afternoon," Catherine said gratefully and yet regretfully.

　　"Let's forgive each other. Catherine, are we even now?"

　　"Not exactly. I owe you big time and I won't forget about it," Catherine promised.

　　After Annette hung up the phone, she was in a much better mood.

　　"Your work is about to end. But you can continue to work in the company for a while," Connor suddenly said.

　　"But I don't have enough time and need to join the training at Werewolf University."

　　Connor looked at her. He shook his head and said, "What is the point of being a teacher?"

　　"Connor, that's my dream. And please respect it," Annette said seriously.

　　Connor looked at her with a doting smile. "Alright, I respect your dream. You can do whatever you want."

　　"There's one more thing," Annette looked at Connor and put a piece of toast on his plate.

　　She said, "I agreed that I would work at your company for a month and cook for you during that time. Now..."

　　Connor put down his knife and fork. "So you intend to end our agreement?"

　　Annette nodded with a smile.

　　Annette looked at him and said seriously, "Connor, you are an Alpha who keeps his word. You need to stick to your promise."
