Kathleen slept late because she had stayed up late preparing for the next interview she would be having the next day. She was working towards getting a new job. "Kath, wake up, it's seven in the morning." Lizzy voice yodeled up the stairwell. Her eyes opened immediately she heard lizzy's voice. The thought of her having an interview came to her memory and she quickly stood up. "Fuck shit." Kathleen groaned as she leaped out of bed, she glanced at the alarm clock, six o'clock; the alarm had been going off for a whole hour and she has a job interview to get to at eight o'clock today. "Hell no." Kathleen murmured as she jumped into the shower and two minutes later, jumped out of the shower and went to brush her teeth. She came out of the bathroom and go grabbed the outfit she prepared down yesterday: black skirt and a white silk shirt with a black suit jacket. She didn't put on any make up, she just put on her earrings and her watch and jammed her feet into her shoes, she grabbed her pu
Five years later Kathleen works at Knight investment corporation as a personal assistant to Jason Knight the CEO of Knight investment corporation. Kathleen was lucky to get the job but never knew how difficult it will untill when she started. Kathleen has always want to be in good terms with Jason but Jason on the other hand never gives Kathleen the opportunity to prove herself, he snaps at her on every little mistake, complains of her work, makes her work her ass out and lot more. Kathleen has been working for Jason for over two months and she wishes she could quit but he pays her twice the salary she received from other companies she had worked for. Kathleen was working in her office, summarizing some documents for the next meeting. "Hey kath." Hannah Ash, her co-worker called as she entered her office. "Here are the files from marketing department which need Mr Knight signatures." "Ohh no I can't, I am busy with some documents, why can't you be the one to get to his signature on t
A knock coming from Kathleen room's door woke her up. "Go away." Kathleen murmured sluggishly. "Hey Kath wake up." Lora said as she opened Kathleen's room door. "Is she alright?" Lizzy whispered as she stood beside Lora. They both walked into Kathleen room and stood beside her bed. Lora went ahead and open her window cotton, allowing the morning sun into her room. "Arghh the sunlight." Kathleen murmured as she took the pillow beside her and covered her face. "Kath get up," Lizzy ordered. "lying down all day and crying won't help." "Yeah I know it isn't easy but you've got to face it," Lora said. "if Tony can, then you can." Lizzy snorted. "He has." Kathleen removed the pillow from her head and sat up. "what are you guys talking about?" "We know about the break up." Lora said. "How do you guys know about that because I am certain I didn't tell you anything when I got home yesterday." Lora walked to Kathleen bed and sat down beside her. "Uhm.... yesterday when you got back with that sa
Chapter 3 Lora and Kathleen followed Lizzy to where she saw Jason and Tony talking. "Wow, he is really the one kath."Lora said Kathleen just stood there, admiring Jason on how handsome he looks on suit, he always put on suit at work why does he look different, oh wait, it's the smile on his face that makes him looks different,he doesn't smile at work, he glares at her if she tried to say anything, he doesn't look at twice before he rudely dismiss her from his presence but now seeing him, he wasn't the jerk ass she calls him at work,he has a cute dimple on both cheek that is unseen when he isn't smiling, beautiful blue eyes and his pinks lips _____. "Kathleen." Lora called, jerking her from her thought. "ohh..... what are you guys talking about? Kathleen asked. "we were wondering if you know the reason your boss is talking to your dumb ex." Lizzy said. "What?" Kathleen asked as she turned to see Jason and Tony talking,she didn't realize Tony was with Jason. "Holy shit, guys what shoul
Kathleen povAfter I left Jason house, I took a cab and went home straight. Thanks God, his maid wasn't around. If he finds out I was the lady from last night, he was going to fire me without having a second thought. I slammed the door when I entered the house, alarting them I was back.Lora walked out the kitchen nervously smiling."Hey Kath, you're back. I.. I made your favorite pancake." She said and that when I knew she knows exactly where am coming from."I don't pancakes, what I need is an explanation." I said and threw my purse on the couch.Lora chuckled fakely. "What do you mean?""What do I mean," I scoffed."Guys, keep it down, someone is having an hangover here." Lizzy said as she walked to take a sit."Ohh right on que, Lizzy."If I want the truth, I need both of them to start talking."What the fuck happened last night?" I asked watching them closely."What do you mean by what happened last night?" Lizzy chuckled. "We crashed you ex after party, had fun and show him wh
Jason Knight was written on my phone screen when it was ringing. Oh my God!! "What wrong Kathleen, you're looking pale." Lizzy said When I didn't reply, she walked back to me and checked my phone is screen. Lizzy gasped and gaze at Lora. "Jason is calling her, seems he already awake." "OMG, what are you going to do now?"Lora asked." You have to calm down and pick the call Kathleen. "The phone stopped ringing. " Yeah go ahead, maybe he wants to know if you get home, or want to ask you for some files. "I shook my head." It weekends remember, Jason never calls me on weekends." The phone began to ring again." It ringing again, what am I going to do guys?" I squealed internally wishing for the phone to break by itself. "We won't know if you don't pick the call and know what he wants." Lora suggested.She was right, I should pick pick the call.The stopped ringing again and immediately started ringing again."I sure know you piss him off for picking his call the other two time you
Kathleen povI could be anywhere but this place, stepping into his house is like stepping into the lion's cage. I heard my mind wrapped around what would happen when I see him.Was he going to fire me?Is he going to call the police? No he wouldn't, he isn't link that.Ohh come on Kathleen, you both just had sex nothing special to that. You just have to deny everything just like how Lora said you should.I sighed. "Okay I can do this." I murmured. I was literally standing in front of the stairswall in his house, waiting for him. The new maid Jason hired just recently walked down the stairs holding the laundry basket."Buongiorno signora." She said offering a small smile. Well, she is Italian. He hired someone who has issues speaking English, only because he knows how to speak Italian language. "Hi." I said awkwardly. "Sei qui per il signor Jason, beh, lui è in bagno. Sarà quaggiù quando avrà finito, per favor." She said. Translation :(Are you here for Mr Jason, well he is in the b
Jason pov"I said that enough!!" She snapped. "All men are bunch of asshole not excluding you and Tony. Do you know how it fucking feels to have realized the person you hoped to end up with dumps you for another person. I wasted five year freak, five fucking year loving someone who ends up cheating on me. I didn't go to wedding because I wanted to make him change his mind, I went there to prove to him I too can get over the sick relationship we had, to prove to him I am better off without him, to show him I could be more better than I was when we were dating. But what did I end up doing, messing everything up buy getting drunk and telling you everything. I was heart broken you know, angry, messed up and much worse to know I was still fucking in love with Tony. I so much hate my self for that, much hate myself for going ahead to have sex with, Jason. "Surprise was written all over my face but when she admitted she was the girl I had sex with last, I put myself together. Hell, this was
Kathleen povA knock on my bedroom door woke me up early on Saturday morning. I had set my alarm clock to 10 am in the morning so I could get enough sleep when I hardly do during week days. "Kathleen, get up." I heard Lora voice as she entered my bedroom. "Why?" I slurred. "You have an early visitor, that the reason you need to get the fuck up." She said as she walked to the window. Visitor? Who? She spread the cotton allowing the morning the reflection of sun on my face. I quickly took the pillow to block the reflection of sun." Can you stop? ""Your weird friend is here to see, remind me her?" I took the pillow of my face. "Lydia? " Yeah that's lady."She replied. I remembered giving her the address to my place when I got home yesterday. I invited her for lunch not breakfast. "Well she's waiting for you in the sitting room. You should get up and see her before going back to bed. And don't you dare think of sleeping for another hour before going to see her." She said and wal
Jason pov"Come and take sit." I offered when I saw her enter my study she stood at the door.She walked to front of my desk and sat down."The investor coming today, did you reschedule the meetings?" I asked."Not yet, your schedule on Monday is tight and I don't know if you're taking the trip offer to Australia.""Ohh that? I had forgotten about that." I turned on my laptop began type. I wanted to get more information on the trip. I saw it wasn't a meeting with an ordinary investors. It was an important one. History Known by the names "The Honoured Society", L'Onorata Societa or La Famiglia to Italians but more simply as the Mafia to most Australians, the 'Ndrangheta has controlled Italian-Australian organised crime all along the East Coast of Australia since the early 20th century.My family got involved in them when we had business to take care of in Italy. Loranso was the one who pulled off the deal with the Ndrangheta. So we have being partners since then."I am going for the t
Kathleen povI dished out the soup into two bowl and placed it on the counter. Ariel and Jason sat down at the counter waiting for Nina to come try out."Okay, I still don't get it. Why did Kathleen have to prepare soup for Nina to have a taste? Is some kind of recruitment training or what? I thought Kathleen doesn't have any business here so is she here."Ariel asked Jason.Jason avoided her question as he kept on scrolling through his phone.I knew Jason doesn't want Ariel knowing so I kept quiet.Nina walked into the kitchen." Sono qui, signor cavaliere. "Nina said. (I am here, Mr knight) " Siediti e mangia. "Jason Instructed as he placed his phone on the counter. (Sit and eat) She nodded and sat down. I offered her a spoon and she took it. I watched her as she took her first and nodded. "Continue."Jason said. She continued eaten. " Okay if both of you don't want to say anything, I will have the second bowl. "Ariel said and took the second spoon from my hand. Jason didn't s
Kathleen pov"You did have to check the cctv camera to figure that." She walked to me. "You did well, Kathleen." I nodded. "But I shouldn't have lied.""Well don't feel guilty of doing that. It's just a lie, it won't kill you." Ariel said and tapped my shoulder.She walked to the fridge and opened it. "Something smells nice, is it what Nina is cooking?" She asked.Ohh the soupI hurried walked back to where I was cooking."Uhm, Kathleen are you the one cooking?" Ariel asked as she slowly closed the fridge while glancing back at Jason and I."Yeah I am....""It none of your business, Ariel." Jason said, stopping me from explaining to Ariel.She smirked. "You obviously didn't notice, Kathleen now is part of your life whether you want or not" She opened the bottle and drank from it.I glanced at Jason, he was glaring at Ariel. I decided to focus on the soup I was preparing.If this was the reason why he wanted me here, then I wanted to be done with this and leave this house."Where did y
Kathleen pov After having lunch with Jason, I found myself in the kitchen making soup.I can't believe Jason thinks I drugged him. Why on earth would I do so?I began preparing the soup while Jason sat at the down, working with his laptop.Nina wasn't in the kitchen, probably doing something else."Did you see Ariel on your coming here?" Jason asked.I remembered Ariel telling me not to inform Jason that she went out."Uhm," I shook my head. "No I didn't." I started starring the soup vigorously. Hoping he didn't figure that I was lying."Ms snow." Jason called.I stopped starring and held the spoon tight, I turn around to meet Jason gaze on me. "Yes, Mr knight.""Come take a look at my computer screen." He said.What? Why would I do that?I stood at my position without making a move."Don't make me repeat myself, Ms snow." He said, his tone was cold and deep.I nodded. "Yeah sure, I will."I dropped the spoon in a bowl and went to where he sat down." Take a look. "He pointed at the sc
Jason pov "Ms snow." I called. I saw how she spaced out while I was asking her questions relating to the report she sent to me. "Yes Mr knight, did you need anything else relating to the reports?" she asked like she paying attention to me. " You weren't paying attention to what I was saying so don't pretend. You zoned out, do you mind telling me what in your mind?"I asked. She opened her mouth to deny but had a second thought. She did know I knew when she decides to lie. "I was th......" The knock on the door didn't let her finish what she was about to say. "Yeah come in." I said and the door opened. "Signor cavaliere, il suo cibo è pronto nella sala da pranzo." Nina said as she stood at the door. ("Mr knight, your food is set in the dining) "Ci Sanremo." I replied (We will there) Nina nodded and left my study "Food is ready, Ms snow. Let go eat." I stood up from my chair and walked to the door. Kathleen did the same and followed me out of the study. We walked to the di
Jason pov"I want you in my house now." I instructed and hung up.I threw my phone on the bed after I hung up the call.Her soup couldn't be the reason I slept and woke up late right?I shook my head, yeah it can't be.I felt so relieved, it being a long while since I had this feelings. If it was the soup which it couldn't, I did want to know what she had add into it.I went to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready to see Kathleen.After few minutes later, I had freshen up and gotten dressed.What I need now is my breakfast.I went down stairs and saw Kathleen with Nina, she was trying to speak English so Nina could understand.Doesn't she know Nina doesn't understand English, even if she tried it was a waste of time."What going on here?" I asked on my way down the stairs."Ohh uh, it nothing, Mr knight." Kathleen said as she faced my way."Devo prenderle il servizio da pranzo, signore?" Nina asked. (Should I get the dinning set for you, sir?) "Sì Nina, impostalo per due." I re
Kathleen povI haven't seen Jason all morning and I haven't heard from Derek when he left my office to his. I I had to cancel his appointment in the morning thinking he would be late today but not this late. I wanted to call Ariel to check up on Jason but I changed my mind.It was lunch hour and I had made plans to meet up with Lydia for lunch.As I was about leaving, Derek came into my office with a confused look written across his face."Jason isn't in his office, has he being here this morning?" He asked.I shook my head. "Nope not even a call or message from him. I am staring to get worried, Mr Derek."He sighed deeply and shook his head. "I have to hear from Ariel."He brought out his phone from his pocket and dialed ariel's number.She didn't answer the call at first but called back a second."Jason hasn't been to the company this morning, Ariel." Derek informed. And I couldn't hear what her reply. "What? He is fucking sleeping by this time of the day? Are you sure of what you
Kathleen povI arrived at the company three minutes earlier, sure Jason won't be here before me.I went to my office to get Jason scheduled ready for today.I placed my pruse on the desk and went to make a cup of coffee for myself.After making the coffee, I starred it but almost got in on my clothes when I got startled by the knock on my office."Ohh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that." Lydia said as she walked into my office."Ohh don't worry, I didn't get my clothes stained." I said and walked to my desk. "Coffee?""Yeah please, I really need it." She said and sat down. I when back to make coffee for Lydia."So how are you doing?" She asked.I nodded. "Am good. You're early today.""I am always early if you haven't noticed it." Lydia said and crossed her legs.I brought the cup of coffee to her and handed it to her."Is Mr knight in his office?" she asked."Nope I don't think so." I replied."Hmm, I kinda of thought he do come early to work everyday.""He is the boss, he
