Catherine turned, and her breath caught subtly at the sight of the person calling her.
"Miss Wilde," Catherine said.
The person who had just called her nwas Zoie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZoie smiled warmly as she approached Catherine. "There's no need for such formalities. We will be family soon, after all. Just callZoie from now on." Her words stung Catherine. Her brows furrowed as a knot of discomfort settled in her chest.
Instead of responding to Zoie, Catherine asked, "Is there something you need from me, Miss Wilde?” "I was hoping we could talk," Zoie replied. "Do you have tright now?" "Of course," Catherine said.
"Let's go to my office." Zoie led the way, and Catherine followed her.
The office was empty, leaving the two alone.
Catherine sat down and spoke first. “What do you want to talk about, Miss Wilde?" For a moment, Zoie simply looked at Catherine, her gaze deep and unreadable.
Even now, she couldn't figure out why she couldn't compare to Catherine in Johnson's eyes.
There could have been no point in comparing their family backgrounds-Catherine was just an orphan, after all.
In terms of career, she was a teacher at Irondeer University, while Catherine was still a student pursuing her post-graduate degree. And in terms of looks, she was confident that she was more attractive than Catherine. She outshone Catherine in every aspect, yet the man she loved seemed to only have eyes for Catherine.

"Miss Wilde?" Catherine called out when Zoie said nothing.

"Johnson and I are getting engaged soon," Zoie continued "I'm sure m you're aware of this." Catherine remained silent.
"I know you and Johnson share a strong bond, but... You are not really related. You just grew up together as brother and sister. So, it's important Ό for you to maintain a proper distance from him. Otherwise, people who don't know the nature of your relationship might misunderstand. And besides..." Zoie paused, as if to put emphasis on what she was about to say next. "I get jealous easily. So, Catherine, could I ask you to keep sdistance from Johnson?"
Upon hearing that last part, Catherine couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Miss Wilde, you are not Johnson's wife yet. You're make such position to demands now. If my closeness to Johnson bothers you, then why don't you take it up with him? Tell him to keep his distance from me. Though, I suppose, whether he would listen to you is another matter entirely."
