Chapter 11: Sick

Katherine's whole body was pushed against the side of the carriage. Her back was in contact with the cold car window glass. After trying for a few minutes, she was able to push Louis away.

“Louis, what are you doing?” Katherine asked loudly.

The cherry lips that had just been kissed were so devoured that they were swollen and red.

Louis was pushed back, his hand brushing lightly over his lips. He gradually regained his composure, returning to his upright posture, confident and poised at Katherine's question. A low voice with a hint of teasing:

"Not bad. Didn't you say you want to be my girlfriend? Today is your birthday, I help you fulfill part of your wish."

Katherine thought about the sounds that might have been heard by Vincent just now, and she couldn't help but blush. Hearing his provocation, she was so embarrassed that she suddenly became angry:

“If I said I wanted to sleep with you, would you agree too?”

"OK..." Louis replied immediately, he carried her on his shoulder, causing Katherine to feel a bit of a shock. She constantly struggled to get away from him, but Louis's strength was too great, holding her tightly to prevent her from escaping.

Louis entered the building, naturally pressing the elevator to the 15th floor - the floor where Katherine lived. Katherine was surprised and angrily scolded him:

“Louis, how dare you investigate me!”

She remembered it very well, she did not include her specific address in the employee file sent to the company, nor did she ever mention this to Louis. If Louis had known her address, he would have let Mathew investigate!

“You dare to use me as your communication bridge but don't let me investigate your information?”

The elevator reached the 15th floor, Louis finally put her down in front of her house, forcing her to stand close to the door.

"Open door! Didn't you say you wanted to sleep with me? I respond to you.”

Katherine was scared right now. She knew Louis wasn't joking. Not daring to tease him anymore, she pushed him away to prolong the distance between them, then said:

“Louis, you already like me in such a short time? It's just a phone call, why should you be jealous?"

Louis squeezed Katherine's chin, forcing her to see his eyes. His voice was hard and cold, "Elise Grande, if you're determined to seduce me, then you must concentrate on me wholeheartedly... I am not your joke, much less one of your choices!”

Katherine just looked at him silently without protesting. The pain that radiated from her chin brought tears to her eyes.

Louis let go of his hand, adding, “I don't know what the real purpose of you needing my help is. But I can assure you, I not only found the Hologram's weak point, I could overturn it at any moment."

Two days later.

“Bring me a cup of coffee.”

Louis coldly made a call through the radio connected to the secretariat and continued to work. Less than five minutes later, a woman came inside, gently placed a cup of coffee on the table for him, and quickly left.

Louis was working, he reached for the coffee cup and took a sip. Immediately, his eyebrows furrowed, his voice a bit unhappy:

"Why is it so bitter?"

So far, Louis didn't like to drink too bitter coffee. His favorite coffee was similar to Cappuccino with moderate sweetness and bitterness. The sweet would calm the mind, the bitter would help clear the mind, so its blend was best for Louis.

The woman did not have time to go out when she heard the boss reprimand. She froze in shock, hurried back to his desk, and said, "Sorry boss, I'll make another cup."

Not hearing the familiar voice, Louis immediately raised his head to look, "Where's Katherine?"

The other woman took the coffee cup from the table and replied, "Katherine doesn't go to work today. Mathew said I would do her work.”

“Which reason?”

“No… No reason, I don't know.” Louis's expression was now terrifyingly cold. Although she had worked in this secretarial department for more than a year, this woman still could not get used to Louis's expressionless face when looking at others.

Louis put down his pen, leaning back. His fingers unconsciously touched his lips, and his mind suddenly remembered what happened two days ago. The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.

It was true that he was a little angry that day, so he spoke harshly to her… Deep in thought, Mathew pushed open the door and went inside, bringing a rather tall stack of documents:

“Boss, you'll have an appointment with Senator Gilbert Grande at 9 am tomorrow morning to discuss an upcoming project with Holograms. Do you want me to reserve a table for lunch too?”

“Gilbert Grande? He will represent Hologram?” Louis immediately sat up straight, accepting the stack of documents that Mathew had just picked up.

Mathew nodded: "Yes, it shows that he takes this project very seriously."

"Tell Katherine she's coming with me to meet Gilbert Grande tomorrow." Katherine was indeed very talented, it would be a waste to just let her be his secretary running errands like making coffee, printing documents, and drafting contracts.

Mathew hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure she can come..."

"Why?" Louis reacted immediately.

“Last night she texted me, it looks like she is seriously ill. Tomorrow may still not go to work.”

After listening report, Louis told Mathew to go out to continue working. But that day, maybe the whole Flying Star Corporation didn't know, their boss got off work 1 hour before the specified time.

Katherine lay in a room bathed in faint yellow nightlights. Her forehead was placed on a warm towel, her whole body was covered with a blanket to quickly sweat the body to reduce fever. Like always, her cold must have come from her habit of washing her hair late but not drying it and going to bed directly. However, the nighttime temperature of S city dropped very quickly. Leaving for a long time, she temporarily forgot the weather here was different from M city.

Originally resting in the room, her heavy eyes had to wake up. The doorbell rang twice and then there was a long silence. Katherine struggled to lift her tired body and headed for the door.

Looking through the door spy hole, Katherine suddenly saw a face that made her forget all her fatigue. Her face was wrinkled, a little confused. In the end, she still chose to open the door.

“Boss, what are you doing here?”

Louis was still in a neat suit, carrying two bags looking like he had just returned from shopping. Seeing Katherine's haggard appearance, he just glanced at her and then slipped inside without paying attention to her question.

Her apartment was very small. Louis put the bags on the table and saw Katherine still standing at the door, he said softly:

“Still not going inside?”

“Louis, are you worried about me?” Katherine quickly happily came to his side, looking at the ingredients he had bought to cook for her.

Louis picked up a carrot and tapped softly on her head.
