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.

And don't you dare think of sleeping for another hour before going to see her." She said and wal
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

Kathleen was lucky to get the job but never knew how difficult it will untill when she started.

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

"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 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."

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.

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
