(She's my girlfriend)Paris was fun but she had to convince him to come back to work the next day so as to avoid fueling the rumors even more. Reluctantly he booked a private jet which she'd never been in before and they flew back to New York, he took her to dinner and they had sex again on her kitchen counter. She woke up the next morning to an empty bed with him gone, yawning loudly she stretched out her arms and frowned deeply hearing a knock on her door.It was probably Mr Garrison, she was tired and jetlagged and wanted nothing more than to in naked all day but she had to be at work. Grayson had already left which means her words got to him, not coming in would just be an abuse of power and everyone would think worse of her even though their perception wasn't in great terms either.She yawned again and strode reluctantly towards the bathroom only to feel nausea all of a sudden, she shook it off immediately and trudged into the shower. The water no longer ran, she frowned deeply,
(The transfer)‘You didn't need to do that'. She muttered minutes after her lunch break was over.Grayson sipped on his coffee and shrugged lightly, ‘I know'.‘Then why did you do that?'.‘Cause I am the CEO and I don't tolerate bullying. It's okay for me to stand up for you'.He responded.Kathleen sighed deeply, ‘I just don't want people thinking I'm being favored or something'.‘Outside these walls you're my girlfriend but in here you're just like everyone else, and if they can't understand that then it's on them', he said and pursed his lips, ‘Plus you're not going to be around here for long'.‘Am I losing my...are you firing—'‘No', he gulped hard, ‘As a matter of fact you're getting a promotion'.She wasn't sure she heard correctly, ‘I...I'm getting a what?!'.‘A promotion', he sighed, ‘As much as I would love to have you by my side, the board came to a unanimous decision that you be transferred. They are aware of our relationship and think it's best to not be close to each other
(The transfer part 2)‘You're really gonna let a newbie talk to me like that Theresa?!!'. Maurine cried out.Theresa couldn't help but roll her eyes, ‘Stop provoking people Maurine. Let the girl do her job'.Theresa walked away into her private corner and Kathleen couldn't help but smirk in triumph. Maurine however wasn't too pleased and slammed her hands on the table, ‘Great. Little miss privilege gets to sleep with the boss and get away with—'‘Oh shut it Maurine!', Tyler spoke up, ‘So she's in a relationship with the CEO so what?! you dated Bryan from IT too. Don't blame her cause your relationship didn't work out!'.She went mute immediately and grumbled in her tiny corner. Kathleen smiled as she turned to Tyler, ‘Thank you'.‘It's alright', He grinned, ‘Pay no heed to the snide remarks. They're all jealous of you. I mean who's brave enough to tame Grayson Hunter himself?'.‘Tame?'. Kathleen's brows rose quizzically.Tyler shrugged, ‘Yeah tame. I mean he's been a lot less harsh an
(The Hunter family reunion)‘So I was thinking...'‘Hmmm'‘Want to share the tub with me?'Kathleen frowned as she took off her earrings just as they walked into his living room, ‘I'm tired'.‘You look tired', he sighed as he reached for her, ‘You're stressed and need a great soak'.Her bows rose skeptically, ‘I'm not having sex with you Mr Hunter'.He gasped loudly in the most dramatic way possible that she couldn't help but find it amusing, ‘What do you take me for woman?!'‘Insatiable'. She giggled.He shrugged, ‘It's not my fault you're so—'The newly installed doorbell suddenly rang and he frowned deeply. He wasn't expecting any guests at the moment, Connor was back in service, Charisse wouldn't dare pay him a visit and Roberto was in the kitchen, he wasn't a man who had friends either.A grunt escaped his lips as he strode towards the door, he frowned deeply as he opened it to a delivery man standing in front of him with a box, ‘Yes? can I help you?'.‘You have a delivery sir. S
(Corruption in Hunter's group)The next morning Kathleen woke up feeling even more queasy than the last. She grunted under her breath as she managed to get up to get ready for work, she was no longer her boyfriend's assistant, she was in a new department and the slightest tendency to tardiness could get her in serious trouble.Grayson was still asleep when she walked out of the bathroom minutes later wearing his robe with a towel wrapped around her hair. She'd gotten so used to living in his apartment during her injuries that it felt like home how, for a moment she actually felt like they were a married couple which she shrugged off immediately.Grayson opened his eyes a moment later to his girlfriend standing in front of his work desk, applying some type of lotion over her thighs which made him gulp hard. She wasn't aware of him yet which blessed him with enough time to admire her immense beauty.A feeling of warmth coursed through his veins just watching her, he wanted his mornings
(Hello Gloria)Kathleen wasn't happy with Tyler's warning but still stood down regardless, she finished her tasks whilst ignoring the distasteful comments from Maurine and the others taunting her light fun—she didn't find it funny, confiscating her favorite coffee machine as a term of 'New intake dues' wasn't light hearted fun in any way...she was being picked on, it was no wonder nobody likes the fiance department.But she did like Tyler, he was smart, funny, sweet, younger too and surprisingly had a wife and a two year old kid. She didn't deem him as the father of a blossoming two year old girl but hearing him speak so highly of his wife and child over lunch was the most adorable thing she'd seen all day.‘What of you Kathy?', he asked, ‘Ever dream of having kids or getting married any time soon?'.She shrugged lightly with a burger in her right hand, ‘I'll pass on that thank you. Too much child hood trauma to have kids, I don't think I'll make a great mom to be honest'.‘Oh don't s
(Hello Mother)Grayson turned to his girlfriend, ‘I'm guessing from the surprise on he face...you haven't told her about us yet am I right?'.Kathleen laughed nervously as she raised her shoulders, ’Surprise??'.Gloria scoffed, ‘I can't believe you finally got together with him and wouldn't tell me over the phone!', she cried out, ‘I...I thought you hated him. You said he was a rich, privileged prick who was inhumane deserved to rot in the deepest parts of hell with his flesh being tornn off piece by piece!'.‘Oh....wow'. Grayson blinked at a loss for what to say.Kathleen raised her shoulders up again in mock surrender, ‘Well you weren't really that much of a nice person so....'‘That's okay', he smiled, ’I still love you anyways'.Forgetting the reason why he was here in the first place, he reached for her and kissed her on the cheek not caring about the presence of Gloria who was totally gobsmacked and had to lean onto the doorway for support. She couldn't believe it—her best frien
(Mommy issues)‘What are you doing here?'‘I'm your mother', she responded, ‘I have a right to be here'.‘I know', he frowned, ‘But what are you doing here?'.Evangeline sighed deeply as she filled her glass again with champagne, ‘You ignored my invitation. I didn't get a RSVP'.He rolled his eyes, strode towards the wine shelf and poured himself a glass of scotch, it was the best of choice of alcohol dealing with his mother, ‘I'm not going mom. I don't care what you—'‘You have to be there Gray'. She stopped him halfway, ‘I don't care but you have to be—'‘Why is my presence needed?!', he snapped, ‘I haven't seen you in a year and half and all of a sudden you want me to be a guest at dinner which I know is going to end up in disaster. I'm happy the way I am'.‘You have always been so stubborn', she scoffed, ‘For a moment I thought maybe you'd—'‘Do I matter?!', he yelled and took a deep breath as he shut his eyes momentarily, ‘I haven't seen you in a year and now that you're here...y
