Chapter 150

Zack was tall and had long legs.

In a few steps, he crossed the crowd and was now next to Katherine.

He cleared his throat and called out, "Hey, Katherine"

Katherine refrained from looking for Alice and glanced at Zack indifferently.

"I didn't expect a busy man like you, Mr.Colburn, to make time to attend our developing company's
annual celebration.I'm really flattered?” she said.

Indirect hostility came out of her mouth as soon as she spoke.

Zack looked at her as if he was oblivious to the words she had just told him.

"I can't take my eyes off of you.Do you know that? You look so stunning tonight" he complimented in a
daze.

"Oh, really? Well, then, thank you, Mr.Colburn” Katherine replied in acknowledgment.

A polite smile was displayed on her face for a moment.

But her eyes remained blank as it stared at Zack.

He was lucky that it was her company's annual celebration.

If he approached her during an ordinary night, she would abruptly ask a guard to kick her ex-husband
out of her yacht.

"Queenie came to talk to you about the vase?" Zack asked out of nowhere.

Katherine did not expect him to know about the matter.



She frowned and asked, "I suppose Sean told you"

Only Sean told Zack about things that had something to do with Katherine, after all.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zack admitted, "Uh-huh.He nodded and took a sip of wine.”

Katherine raised an eyebrow.She did not want to talk with him further, so she excused herself
professionally.

"President Colburn, please take a seat.I have something else to do now.

"Katherine," Zack called out.

He did not pull Katherine's arm to stop her, but calling out her name behind her back was enough to
make her stay for a while.

Katherine did not look back.

Instead, she looked down at the glass in her hand and calmly said, "Let's talk about it later.I don't really
want to ruin the night"

Zack choked at his ex-wife's response.

Her words sounded something between a demand and a request, so he no longer forced her.

He could only say, "Alright."

He actually wanted to seriously and sincerely apologize to her.

But he also knew that Katherine probably did not want to hear it.

Right now, she probably even hated to see him.



Katherine nodded her head.

She then lifted her dress and walked away.

Alice walked over and pulled Katherine beside her.

"What did that jerk say to you this time?"

Zack's number one hater asked with pursed lips.

Katherine glanced at Alice.

"Nothing,"

Zack's ex-wife denied as she thought that it was trivial.

"Katherine..."

Alice warned, not believing her friend's response.

Katherine rolled her eyes and admitted, "He complimented me for being stunning tonight"

Alice was indignant.

"Why did he say that? What in the world does he need to compliment you like that?" she sneered.

"My gosh, you're stunning every day! Any man who isn't blind can see that! That jerk's really stupid!"
Katherine smiled.

"Well, I don't really care about strangers"

Alice raised an eyebrow as Katherine's words sounded like a violin in her ears.



"I like that fierceness, my friend!" Alice said proudly.

Sean wanted to approach Katherine and ask why she did not reply to his message.

But he found Zack sitting alone nearby, and Sean could not help but watch his friend with pity.

Talking with Katherine was probably yet another tragedy.

It was about time for the annual celebration to officially begin.

Katherine went up to the stage and delivered a speech after testing the microphone.

The speech was brief.

It took over in less than a minute.

The company then gave awards made of authentic gold and silver.

Upon judging the attention of the crowd, the award segment could be said to be the most exciting part
of the event.

Alice carried a gold bar as she came down from the stage.

As the top-notch actress that the company supported, she was worthy of being awarded as the number
one in both popularity and performance.

As soon as she stepped down the stage, Alice embraced Katherine.

"Katherine!"

Alice irresistibly screamed with excitement.



"I think I've really fallen in love with you!"

Katherine blocked her face that Alice wanted to kiss.

"You just love my money" the chairperson grunted.

"I love you more than that!" Alice retorted.

With a giggle, she also whispered, "But I can't deny that I love it, too!"

Katherine chuckled and teased, "Is a hundred fifty thousand dollars heavy?"

The mention of it made Alice lift the bar with her other hand.

"Don't say that! I'm realizing now how heavy it is!" she complained.

Silverlight Entertainment made a big profit this year.

Last year, they released a movie and earned money beyond the production budget.

Katherine got over 12.5 million dollars, and the net profit was more than 11 million.

Katherine was a generous chairperson.

She allocated 780,000 dollars of their company's recent profit for the year-end reward.

Alice was a top star in the company, so she deserved to receive 150,000 dollars.

On the other hand, a department took out over three million year-end bonuses.

On average, each staff would receive almost 14,000 dollars.



The annual celebration this time was showering the company's staff the money they deserved to add to
their earnings.

It was insanely rewarding!
