It was a week later and Cathy is doing some errands as usual. Her mother got ill, and she has been thinking about going full time with her job in the hotel. It was an unexpected event in the day when Andrew approached her. "Hi Catherine," "Hi, good morning, Andrew," she replied with a smile. "You have a visitor, he is waiting for you in the lobby." Cathy got confused since she wasn't expecting anybody, "Who is it? I'll drop by after work." She is known to be responsible, finishing her job before she goes off work, but Andrew insisted. "You can't, I mean, it's urgent. Can't wait." He noticed her confusion, and gave her a pat on the shoulder. "It's fine. Jeff will handle it." Jeff, the assistant supervisor for housekeeping is a kind man. He is around his 40s, and at his age he usually sees the young employees as his kids. Cathy drops the mop and goes to the headquarters to neat up, and went to the lobby with Andrew. There is a man, who was standing across the elevator, facing the north. "Sir," Andrew called him up. "She's here." The man turned around, and it was Jon. With his sapphire blue eyes and grey hair, he is wearing a plain white shirt, and a black suit on top of it, and faded blue jeans and white sneakers. "I'll leave you two," Andrew winked at her. "Hi," Jon said and walked towards her. "Hi sir," she bit her lower lip, "I mean, Jon. What brings you here?" Jon is holding an envelope, asked her to sit on one of the wooden chairs in the lobby. "Let's talk." He pulled out one chair for her, and as she was seated, he sat on one on the opposite side of the table. "Here," he handed over a black folder to her which contains documents. "I'd like to invite you to an event." It was a contract, consisting of four pages. "Wow," she looked at him with amusement. "You are hosting this?" "Well yeah," he smiled at her. "Keep on reading." Cathy looked down again, at the pages, and continued to read, as Jon continued to study her face. He looked at her beautiful eyes, and must admit that she looks beautiful without makeup. "I cannot believe I allowed you to stay in my place without anything in return." he says in his mind as he kept on looking at her. Her brows, her long eyelashes, the pointed nose and small eyes. He looks at her lips and bites his lower lip as if he wanted to kiss her. "I'm done." she said with a smile and looked at him. "Listen," he leans toward her. "I want you to help out in preparation of the opening of the club." Her eyebrows narrowed a bit in confusion. "I can't." she looks disappointed, "Apart from my housekeeping job here, I also work as a tutor." With his right hand, he extends his arm across the table and holds her left. "I know," he smiles, looking straight at her eyes. "You won't be required to work full time on weekdays." "Uhm, I am at home during weekends, with family." He can sense that she wants to reject the offer. Jon leaned back and replied, "You will be working four hours a day, but you'll get paid as if you've worked full-time." Cathy's eyes widened with surprise. "Are you serious?" He smiled and said, "Yes, that is to make sure that your talent will be well compensated." He fixed his eyes on hers this time, "No need to sign it now, the event will take place in six months. You have two weeks to think it over. The opening of the club will happen right after a fashion launch." Cathy tries to return the files, "It's yours," Jon said with a smile. He ordered coffee for both of them, and chatted for a short while. "So, how's work going?" He was trying to start a friendly conversation." Cathy smiled at him, "Nothing different," she started to look around. "I'm just wondering," he was sipping coffee, "how did you ask them to take me off work? Ordinary clients can't do that." She was looking straight at him." He coughed and put the cup down. "Who are you, really?" He was trying to think of a reply, "I don't want her to find out" he thought to himself. "You own the top floor of a luxurious residential tower and you come here frequently. I've seen you many times dropping by." Jon manages to smile as he organizes his thoughts. "I used to work here. I am a marketing manager and I organize events like the one I invited you to." Cathy raised her left eyebrow a bit as if she is doubtful of his statement. "Catie," he leans toward her, his face getting closer to hers. "I was one of the organizers of the opening ceremony of this hotel." "That was when I first saw you?" she almost believed him. "Yes,.." "Catherine!" A young man was rushing towards them, he is in his early twenties, blonde and tall, at around six feet four inches. "Hey," Cathy turned and said to him. "This is," she wanted to introduce the two men to each other. "Vivian is calling," Alex quickly said to her, and there is a sense of urgency in his voice. "Oh, I need to go." she said to Jon as she got up from her seat. "I'm sorry," she added. "It's all right," he smiled at them, "I'll go, and you take care of Catie for me, okay?" he spoke to Alex. "My pleasure, sir." he politely replied to him. The two went on their way as Jon was left alone, looking at Cathy until she was out of sight.

"Well apart from the fact that this is quite disappointing," Vivian told him "The guests' safety should always be prioritized, Jon." "Yeah, I know" Jon shook his head, he is aware of being at fault this time. "I'll go ahead, make sure this will be fixed.

    It was so quiet since they left the hotel, and Jon was trying to think of a way to break the ice. "How was it?" "The launch? Oh yeah, of course." Cathy was obviously nervous as she held her round bag which she has placed on top of her thighs. "It was great! The team was so helpful, and positive. Everyone did their job well," she was still speaking when he interrupted. "Are you trying to hide or cover anything?" He had noticed that she had covered her thighs with her bag. The bag was a rose colored shoulder bag which was round and made of rattan. It is originally brown, but there were crocheted pieces around it that made it look in a shade of rose. Cathy was wearing a pink one, it did not have sleeves but she opted to wear a white jacket which is down to about two inches below her butt. "No," she quickly said in reply. "I thought you're trying to cover your legs," he said jokingly. He continues to drive while Cathy seems to be offended. She raised an eyebrow, and said "I don't have t

    As Stephanie handed over a drink to Jon, his phone suddenly rang. "Hey, Viv," Stephanie knew it was a lady who called up, so she whispered on Jon's left ear. "Work is over, it's time to celebrate" he looked at her but continued to speak to Vivian on the other line. "Have you got some news?" he took a few steps as she answered, "I've spoken with some of your security personnel, but they did advise that there are several things to look into," she was about to laugh when she said this, holding her jewelry box which is now empty. "No worries, Viv. I'll make sure this gets handled for you. I am so sorry," Jon was sincerely apologetic, but Vivian smiled with a fierce look in her eyes. "I am worried, if they took my jewelry, it will be fine. Just that they took the necklace you gave me." she touched her neck and the necklace that she is wearing. It was gold, with a heart shaped pendant. Jon gave it to Vivian on her nineteenth birthday, along with a huge teddy bear which he bought in Milan,

"Have you got an answer? Steph is already out there with Jon, waiting for an opportunity." Luke sighed, "If you make sure I won't be in trouble," she got up and interrupted his talking. "In trouble?

"Goodnight Jon, I'll see you tomorrow," Stephanie said as he went out of her suite. He got back to his via the main door, and dialled Cathy's number. It was ringing for almost a minute, but got no answer. When he finally gave up, and was about to hang up, a man answered from the other line. "Hello," a man said, but then Jon asked, "Hey, it is Jon.

Evan answered, "Hi sweetie, would you mind if I pick you up?" Cathy took a few steps to peek through the window, and whispered, "He's still there."

I'd come to work and go home, he would still be waiting outside." she started to be afraid that she instructed the security guard to allow her to wait for her father.When he got there, Cathy immediately went to him and got into his car.

Please don't push me away," said Stephanie, he looked at her, she was wearing a powder blue dress which touched her knees and had long sleeves and round collars.

    The wind was blowing so cold, rain had been pouring down for hours which made it darker than usual. Cathy said goodbye to the kids, and waited for the parents to pick them up. It had been a month and a half since she started the part time job in the preschool, and it had gotten a bit difficult as she had been pregnant for almost three weeks. She waited for about an hour, and when they were all picked up, she decided to go home. It was darker and the wind blew stronger, at six o'clock, it was almost impossible for her to walk outside without getting all wet. She went out and waited for a cab, but all the cabs that went by were all booked. A car stopped just in front of her and the driver lowered the window. "Hey, it's raining so hard. Need a ride?" Cathy was shocked. The face was so familiar, with the hair that turned silvery grey, lines on the forehead and under his eyes tell a lot about his age. Cathy stood still, without uttering a single word, tried to figure out how the man foun

    It was a weekday morning. Jon was having coffee with a few investors while discussing the year's plans which included expanding the business overseas. "I think it's best to be able to provide luxury in some areas in Asia," a man said, sitting at the last seat on Jon's left. Another man, who was sitting across, raised his hand and continued, "We have studied the middle eastern cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the two cities were found to have rising economic status and in the following years, we have forecasted that hotel industry will boom as tourism evolves and it would be a great investment." Jon was looking at the records, "I believe that the East is a good target, we will be able to establish new trends," a woman said. Jon made a comment as he looked at his laptop screen, "Can someone send me a list of international celebrities who are known residents to these two cities." A lady got up, and advised her secretary who was seated at the back near the door, to conduct a research imme

    It was almost a week after the New Year. Jon had finally called Cathy and told her that he was not able to push Stephanie when he kissed him because of the media. "Publicity is key, you know that right? I love you and nothing will ever change that." He assured her that he promised her mom that he would take good care of her, but Cathy was not satisfied with the explanation. "So you did not bother to object when your sister introduced you to the media as a couple?" Jon told her that he has no plans of marrying any other woman, and that what his sister did was merely a publicity stunt. Cathy was resisting at first, but her love for him made her understand what her mind could not comprehend. She gave him an ear, which eventually made her feel alright. She has not told him about the pregnancy just yet, because she plans to tell him in person when he visits her in two months. When they hung up, Cathy told Anna about her plans, and she couldn't help but get excited. "Oh dear, is it not go
