Chapter 564 Hotpot

"A new help?" Cate arched a brow, folding her arms as she sized up the woman before her. "What's your name, girl?"

Althea didn't flinch. If anything, her gaze remained cool and unbothered, a subtle challenge hidden beneath her poised demeanor.

"I'm Rose," she responded smoothly. "Do you have an appointment today?"

Cate scoffed.

"No, but I don't need one." She leaned in slightly, lowering her voice but making sure every word dripped with veiled warning.

"FYI, I'm your boss's fiancee. So don't get any ideas about seducing my man, girl. You wouldn't like me when I'm jealous. Got it?"

Althea's lips curved slightly—not quite a smirk, but not exactly neutral either. There was something in her eyes, something unreadable, and it only irked Cate further.

Without giving her the satisfaction of a response, Cate turned on her heel and strode past her, pushing open the door to Ross's office without so much as a knock.
