“I know grandma but she doesn't look like a good person, I don't like her. You know what grandma, she looks like one of the wicked stepsisters in Cinderella”, Katie said laughing.Everyone stifled their laughs, Rose turned red in anger."You little...", Rose hissed about scolding Katie but Claire was quick to intervene."C'mon Katie, bedtime", Claire said, helping Katie out of her chair."But..", Katie tried protesting."No but dear, now apologize to the young lady", Claire coaxed.Katie turned to look at Rose hesitantly, "Sorry…”,she blew a raspberry and ran away."Don't mind Katie, she's just like that sometimes", Claire gave an apologetic look and walked out.Rose gave Claire a forced smile, "kids, how much she hated them", she thought. Why did everyone just hate her in the family? Charles' mum, the little girl, was sure even Charles' dad and elder sister disliked her but they didn't show it. She didn't care cause the Old Man liked her, her strongest backup."Thank you for joining
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTThe days had flown by quickly, it was Friday already. Kate couldn't believe it was almost 2 weeks since she arrived at City S.And her first week working at Donovan Enterprise was almost over, it was 3:30 pm.She and Charles had already talked about what they wanted to achieve in the next 6 months. They've concluded she'll design 2 cars, one design will be ready at the end of this month and the other the next month. At the end of the month, a meeting will be held to present the first design.As for their relationship, Kate didn't know what to call it, they weren't lovers to say they were dating or friends to call it friendship. Heck! What they did was more than what friends do.Kate couldn't help thinking she was one of those secretaries in the novels having a scandalous affair with her CEO boss, making out whenever they were alone, and acting professional in public. Except she wasn't a secretary or had any feelings for the CEO boss like the secretaries in the
"Shit", Charles cursed angrily, they both stopped."Boss an uninvited guest is coming, she's about to barge in any seconds from now", Jack informed.Not long after they both heard the door bang open, a voice was heard."Charles, I'm here," the person announced.Charles groaned displeased,"it just had to be her".“That was Rose's voice", Kate thought, confused. “What was she doing here, did she know Charles”, she wondered.Charles stared down at her; they still hadn't moved from their position."You should go see who's there", Kate suggested gently pushing Charles off her.Charles signed exasperated, he straightened his shirt then looked down at the bulge in his pants.Kate followed his line of sight then walked up to him, wrapping her arm around his neck. "Am sorry".Charles placed a chaste kiss on her lips, "it's not your fault, I'll be fine", he assured, cupping her chin.Kate frowned at his answer but nodded anyway, "you should go, I'll be out soon".Charles nodded."What do you me
"I'm claustrophobic, the elevator triggered it and caused me to have a panic attack", Kate confessed with a sign, she wasn't lying, after her accident she indeed became claustrophobic and avoided enclosed or small places. Charles wasn't satisfied with her answer, how could her phobia trigger a panic attack. "If Jack hadn't informed him in time...", Charles closed his eyes, not wanting to think about it. There was something she wasn't telling him, he decided to let it go for now."If you want to use the elevator you can ask me or Jack to go with you or Stella, ok"."Ok", Kate nodded smiling. "Where is Rose?"She asked, seeing as they were the only ones in the room."She must have gone", Charles replied nonchalantly."So how was the talk?"."Trust me have had better", Charles signed, not wanting to explain.Kate nodded, wanting to ask further but decided not to, wrapped her arms around his neck. “We are alone again", she said with a knowing smile, she brought his face closer to hers."N
Kate eyed him surprise, "of course he would know", she thought with an eye roll. She'll just have to trust him."Taylor, you need to be careful. Charles is a dangerous man and can't be trusted, he isn't as honest as he looks", Felix warned seriously.Kate stared at him confused, she could feel her uneasiness creeping in again, she shrugged it off."Let's just go"."Sure", Felix opened the passenger door for her, he got into the driver's seat.Kate sat down at the back seat, she couldn't stop thinking about what Felix said, and just shrugged it off.At Oriental hotel,Charles paced to and fro in his suite, he still hadn't talked to Taylor and the party had already started, just some floors below his suite.Today he had been so busy he couldn't call Taylor and now he was free, he still couldn't call her because he didn't have her number- her private number.Charles groaned frustrated, no matter what he had to make sure he told Taylor before it was announced.Jack looked at his boss with
"No, you are definitely mistaken "Kate denied but deep down she wished it was true."Trust me girl, I know my cousin better than anyone and he definitely has a thing for you. If I were you I'll take my chance before someone else does", Gracie whispered the last part.Kate bit her lower lips unsure, "should she?", She thought. "Kate are you really thinking about it", a voice in her head chided."She and Charles were just attracted to each other and nothing else, nothing romantic could ever happen between them", Kate thought with a sign but couldn't help feeling disappointed at the thought."I doubt it Gracie"."Hmm suit yourself", Gracie shrugged, "could you please excuse me for a sec"."Sure", Kate nodded as she watched Gracie walk away, leaving her alone."Why the long face beauty, if you are looking for company, I’m the right guy".Kate heard someone say as she turned to her side to see Kyle giving her a flirtatious smile."Just great", Kate thought with an eye roll ignoring him."C
"The honor is mine Mr Donovan and thank you", she said to Bryce before facing the crowd. "It's my pleasure to work with a great company like Donovan Enterprise,as they don't think about the profit alone, rather satisfying the comfort of the driver, making cars safe for people to drive and that's the main objective of TAC Limited. I'm looking forward to what both our companies will be able to achieve now and also in the future, thank you", Kate got down from the stage, the crowd gave her a standing ovation."Thank you Miss Cosgrove and the pleasure is ours. Meanwhile, the second announcement will be made shortly, enjoy the party everyone", Bryce announced, getting off the stage."Miss Cosgrove..".Kate turned to see Charles at her side, Rose beside him. It felt weird hearing Charles address her like that since she was used to him calling her Taylor."Mr Donovan", she stared at him then at Rose who gave her a sly smile. This wasn't how he wanted them to meet. "Was she angry or hurt",
Charles....".Charles captured Taylor's lips in his swallowing the rest of her words, he pressed her back to the wall, holding her in place.Kate was surprised at the sudden kiss but that didn't stop her from responding back, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer towards her."Gawwd darling I missed you", Charles said, breaking out of the kiss, giving her ass a squeeze.Kate moaned. “Yh you did", she said with a chuckle."You look hot as hell in this dress, too bad it's going to be in pieces soon", Charles whispered in her ears, kissing her earlobes.Kate moaned, "I can't wait", she said seductively, her hand ran down his chest stopping at his belt, a naughty smile on her face.Charles' breathing hitched, he had promised the first thing he'll do when he meets Taylor was to talk to her, but the beast in him had already been woken up, he wanted her badly."I need you darling now", Charles groaned as he pulled Kate to a door, she didn't notice was there, they both got in.
