"Probably because all the teachers were wearing light pink dresses today. You kind of give the vibe as if you're one of the ballet teachers here. Is that purely a coincidence or do you deliberately dress like that to attract attention?" Seth approached them in a casual yet indifferent manner. He only had his eyes focused on Kathleen, looking at her like she was some kind of prey."How ridiculous? Do you really think Kathy had that much time to go here and look what everyone was wearing before we came?" Aaron was slightly irritated by the indirect accusation made by Seth."And why not? She had much time seducing her boss," Seth replied and gave a smirk to the woman.Kathleen just stared at Seth meticulously. She wondered if this man knew about her true identity as a Campbell. He seemed like he was having some kind of interest in her since she entered the ballet academy earlier. The man met her eyes and didn't even feel intimidated to look away. In fact, it was quite obvious that his ga
"How about we go meet your parents... right now?" He said while looking at her seriously."Now?" She was stunned that she blinked a few times. Her head slowly looked forward again, having her mind thinking what she should say to him."I..." she lost her word.Aaron scoffed and chuckled in disbelief. He didn't want to admit it, but Seth was right. Apart from her name and her educational background, he knew nothing about her. He didn't know the name of her parents, he didn't know how many siblings she had, and he didn't even know where her family lived."Why are you being so secretive with me? I don't even know anything about your family. I did know about you but I knew nothing about where you came from or who was your family. And you don't even want me to meet them. In fact, you also refused to meet my mother. Why?" He demanded her explanation while showing a vexed expression."Aaron... I...""Did you even take our relationship seriously?" He wondered."Did you even love me for real?"
She laughed awkwardly to brush him off and pushed his chest a bit. Aaron smirked at her. He could see her face was turning red and she avoided looking at him."You don't have to be shy. We had done it so many times already," he said while getting ready to get off from the car."Where are you going?" She asked in a panic, holding his thigh to stop him from getting off. The man chuckled while shaking his head. He turned to her and tilted his head a bit, signalling her to get off with him."I'm getting us the royal suite again. Come out with me. Let's stay here for the weekend," he said bluntly and went to open the car door beside her. He got off without hearing her reply."Are you serious?" Her eyes widened as she stared at the man who was now walking around the car heading towards the opened door on her side."Come on," he grabbed her wrist brazenly and pulled her out of her seat. Aaron closed the car door and then threw his car key to the hotel valet."Aaron, I didn't bring any clothe
Instantly, Kathleen remembered again the argument between Aaron and Seth that happened at the ballet academy before. Ryan was trying to break the two before the fighting got intense. 'Am I really not a nice lady? Aaron got on bad terms with everybody because he was with me. All his close friends disliked him now because of me,' she murmured inwardly, wondering if she was the cause of all the arguments that arose between Aaron and his friends."There was a bit of misunderstanding... But it was not really that bad," Kathleen replied softly."I knew it!" Tiara exclaimed in exasperation. She sighed heavily and it could be heard clearly by Kathleen."I'm really sorry, Ti. I'll buy your favourite coffee on Monday, okay?" Kathleen tried to coax her."And lunch too," Tiara added her demands. Yet before Kathleen could reply, Aaron suddenly came out of the bathroom with a small towel around his neck. He wiped his face slightly before he caught her on the phone."Who are you talking to?" He ask
"Are you sure it would go smoothly like how you planned in mind?" Kathleen asked him in return with a hint of hope in her eyes."Of course, honey. So... are you in with my plan?" He stroked her cheek lovingly while looking deep into her eyes.Kathleen nodded slowly with a faint smile on her face. She really wished what Aaron said could be a reality, but she was scared to hold her hope high for it. It was not even certain and she haven't told him about her true identity yet. She was not even sure if he would still want her after knowing the truth. That would be the deciding factor for her."Great! Then we need to plan this properly. I'm going to buy your engagement ring. We'll get engaged two weeks before the launching day. Then a week after, I'm going to tell my mom to file for a divorce from my dad. After that, we could proceed with the wedding arrangement. We'll have it privately in a church, with only you, me, my mother and my private lawyer. You need to wear a wedding dress too an
The next day, Kathleen went to work as usual. On the journey to the company, she stopped by a coffee shop to buy Tiara's favourite coffee and some pastries for her breakfast. Thirty minutes later, she arrived and headed to the top floor immediately. Kathleen tiptoed out of the VIP elevator and peeked at Tiara's desk. The woman noticed her arrival and instantly shot her an icy glare while pouting her lips sullenly. "One Caramel Macchiato for the most beuatiful princess Tiara..." Kathleen said flatteringly while putting the coffee cup on the desk. "That's not enough," Tiara replied coldly, having her eyes only on her laptop, avoiding looking at Kathleen who was now standing beside her desk. Kathleen smiled and squatted down slowly. She was holding a brown paper bag in her hands that was filled with different kinds of pastries. Tiara inhaled naturally and the delicious smell of the pastries instantly hit her nose, making her gulp some saliva. "Princess Tiara doesn't want to forgive m
"Now?" Kathleen responded while meeting his gaze. He just nodded and so she followed him into his office room. Tiara gave her the look as if asking what was going on, but Kathleen just shrugged her shoulders."Aaron told me about his plan to move abroad after launching the microchip project. Are you aware of that?" Ryan asked directly right after the door was closed.Kathleen stared at him with uncertainty, wondering if she should answer his question. Her brows knitted slightly, clearly showing that she was not comfortable with the topic of the conversation."He had told you, hasn't he?" Ryan spoke more. He too just observed Kathleen's expression to try reading what was on her mind. Still no response from her."You knew that he's going to bring you along with him, right?"She looked down instantly avoiding his gaze, and it was a clear sign that what he guessed was true."Are you sure about that, Kathy? Did you really agree to leave with him? He said the other day that the two of you a
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you looking so tense?" Aaron circled his left arm around her waist while his right hand went to rub her back. He stared at her anxious face, feeling confused by her worried expression."Fine... If it's going to make you feel better, I won't tell Ryan anything anymore about our plan. Just the moving part and that I'll give the CEO position to him. That's all that I'm going to share with him. I won't tell the rest, okay?" He tried to soothe her. Kathleen just nodded slightly, feeling a bit better but the unsettling feeling was still conquering her heart."You know what... I think I know how to make you feel even better," Aaron suddenly said seductively."How?" Kathleen replied senselessly, hadn't thought anything about what he might try to do with her. He grabbed her body and led her to the bedroom behind his office and she instantly knew what he meant. 'Of course. Sex was always his main antidote for stress,' she mumbled internally, just going with his flo
