"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.
Sunday, the next day.Morning at the Donovan mansion.Charles stared at his grandpa, his mind far from what the Old Man was saying."Explain yourself?", Ryn demanded angrily, holding out his phone for his grandson to see.Charles shrugged.Ryn hissed at his grandson's nonchalant attitude, "what will your fiancee think?"."Does it matter, moreover she was aware?" Charles answered calmly.“Excuse me….”, Ryn choked on his grandson's words.“Don't you have any shame, what will the world think? You were having an affair with our business partner”."I never cared about what the world thought, so why should I start now", Charles answered, tapping his foot impatiently.Ryn shook his head. “Fine, don't care about yourself, what about her, what about her reputation?".Charles groaned, running his hand through his hair. “His grandpa was right, he was being stupid right now. What about Taylor, she was involved in the scandal too".Charles whipped his phone out and dialed a number, "Jack, I want y
About what......wait how did you find out?", Kate asked surprised, as she rubbed her forehead, "just great", she thought.Seriously Kate?, Literally the whole world knows", Andrew groaned trying to stay calm."I don't understand Andrew ", Kate signed confused."You tell me Kate, your affair with the King of business is all over the net", Andrew yelled, jealousy in his tone."Apparently someone took a picture of the both of you making out at the terrace at yesterday's event and made a scandal out of it", Andrew slammed his fist on his desk."Great another gossip", Kate thought sarcastically and she could only think about one person who was behind it, Rose. Rose had already hurt Kate's ego by getting engaged to Charles, and dared to humiliate her by revealing her and Charles' affair, turning it into a scandal."At least the billionaire did one good thing, he took down the post before it could become a disaster", Andrew said relieved."That's good news", Kate shrugged.Kate heard Andrew
Monday 15th, August, 2022.In the morning, at Fast Tech Limited. Rose sat on her cushioned office chair, a satisfied smile on her face.She relaxed in the chair. "Rose dear you're very smart", she praised, grinning.She had finally gotten back at Taylor, by revealing her and Charles' affair turning it into a scandal, just when the whole world found out she was engaged to Charles."What did Taylor think, that she'll just sit and watch the two of them continue with their silly game - affair. No, Charles was her fiance", Rose thought with a sly smile."Now no one will dare mess with her knowing she is going to be the next Mrs Donovan"."She did it", Rose thought proudly. She was no more the poor and low-class Rose from the past rather a rich and classy woman, getting all the rights the rich enjoy. And was soon going to be the mistress of the most influential family in the city, from rags to riches.Rose always wondered why people like Kate -self-centered, bratty rich kids, were privileg
Kate hissed, walking into the company, heading to the elevator, she spotted Jack standing right in front of the elevator. “Was he waiting for someone”, she wondered."Morning Jack", she greeted as she got close."Morning Miss Cosgrove", Jack bowed slightly."What are you doing here?"."Boss said I should wait here every morning to escort you to the office, you know due to your phobia", Jack explained."He did!"Kate exclaimed, surprised."Yes ma, I know I'm not meant to be saying this but my boss really cares about you Miss Cosgrove"."Hmmmm", Kate nodded, pressed a button and stepped in the elevator with Jack.The elevator stopped at the 30th floor as both of them stepped out."I'll take your leave", Jack informed and stepped back in the elevator.Kate watched Jack leave before walking towards the office, knowing Charles was already there. "Why couldn't there be another room where she could work", she whined in her head.She knocked on the door before stepping in. "Good morning Mr D
Lunch time at the cafeteria. Kate sat with Gracie eating while the latter ranted about Saturday's event. "I'm still shocked that Charles is engaged to that witch, that arrogant wanna be heiress", Gracie hissed angrily."And I’m sure she's also the one responsible for that post. It's a good thing you didn't see it Taylor, those netizens are just too much", Gracie shook her head."They were calling you all sorts of names, bad names and that you wanted to snatch Charles away from Rose, can you believe that'', she added with an eye roll."Are you done?", Kate asked with a sign seeing as Gracie stopped talking.Gracie stared at her friend in disbelief "aren't you a little bit angry about it?"."I would be lying if I say I wasn't angry at first but I don't care anymore, it has been removed anyway", Kate answered truthfully."But what about the comments, they were calling you bad names and spreading rumors about you, saying total nonsense, won't you defend yourself.....", Gracie stated angr
