AT DONOVAN CAR ENTERPRISE,Charles paced around in his office. Taylor wasn't back, and an hour had gone."What the heck was she still doing there, could Rose have done something to her", Charles thought worriedly."Shit", he cursed at the thought of Rose doing something bad to Taylor. Grabbing his car keys, Charles headed for the door but stopped when the door opened and Taylor walked in with an exhausted look on her face."Taylor", Charles rushed over to her, scanning her body.Kate was taken back at Charles' action, "what was he doing?", She thought confused.Charles let out a sign in relief, "She was fine no harm done", he thought. He looked up at Kate who gave him a quizzical look."You were gone for long, I thought Rose had hurt you", Charles explained.Kate let out an "ohh". "I'm m fine as you can see, she didn't do anything to me", she said, slumping on the nearest sofa, her eyes closed, massaging her temples."Then what took you so long?", Charles asked."I ran into grandpa",
"Then make me yours", Charles said hoarsely, wrapping his arms around Kate's waist pulling her closer to him.Kate suddenly forgot how to breathe, their closeness was driving her crazy. The lust in his eyes turned her on. "No Kate get yourself together", she chided, she looked away, letting out an awkward cough.Realizing what he was doing, Charles removed his hands from her waist, not able to look at her. "I'm sorry", he apologized, his desire had gotten the better part of him.Kate nodded, standing up not trusting herself to speak, why did her heart suddenly feel heavy because she stopped Charles. The air in the room became awkward, neither of them looking at each other.Kate cleared her throat, looking at Charles. "I found it", she blurted out.Charles stared at her confused, his eyebrows raised questioning."The blueprints"."Really?"Charles asked surprised, Kate nodded in response."Let's go meet Gracie to tell her, so we'll think of how to get it", Kate suggested.Charles nodded
THE NEXT DAY. Rose kept her suitcase in her car, got in and drove out of the city. She didn't bother telling her adoptive parents she won't be in the city for the weekend. It was a 2 hour drive to her cottage, as it was in the suburbs of the city, where she grew up. Rose finally got there, taking out her suitcase then stared at the supposed cottage, which was actually a 2-storey building, not the kind of house you see in the suburbs. She walked to the door, turning the knob but it was locked. "Wasn't he home? She had informed him, She was coming today", Rose thought confused. Taking out the spare key with her, she opened the door and walked in. The house was quiet like no one was in. Rose closed the door, there was one place she knew he would be in. Leaving her suitcase in the living room, she made her way to the basement and sure enough she saw him there, engrossed in whatever he was doing on his laptop. "Steve", she called out, but the man didn't notice her presence. Rose w
"Are you trying to defend her?", Gabriel eyed his son-in-law. "No, I am just saying we shouldn't jump into any conclusion, she might have a valid reason for doing so", Nathaniel explained. "Give me an example of a valid reason", Gabriel demanded but Nathaniel couldn't come up with any, making the old man hiss. "Even if they are her shares, I'm going to find out who she gave them to, cause I don't trust that girl one bit", Gabriel said, standing up. Nathaniel held the paper with a puzzled expression on his face. "I won't hesitate to kick her out of the business, if she's planning something bad", Gabriel said in a serious tone before walking out. Nathaniel signed, his mind thinking of different possibilities why Rose would have given her shares to someone else. And he couldn't ask her because she wasn't in the city. The door to the study opened and Tiffany walked in. Seeing how her father left the study with a frown she could sense something was wrong. "What's wrong?" She asked
AT DONOVAN'S CAR ENTERPRISE.“Where are they?”Alexander groaned, as he paced around in Charles' office.He was meant to be sleeping now but because Charles and Kate needed his help to sneak into Rose's office he was there but the two people in question hadn't arrived.“Be patient, they'll be here soon”, Gracie hissed.“Easy for you to say, I am missing my sleep”, Alexander whined, making Gracie roll her eyes.“How did she get stuck with Alex, and was going to be with him for the whole night, till Charles and Taylor had successfully completed their mission”, she thought, rubbing her forehead”.The door to the office opened and two people stepped in.“Finally you guys are here”, Alexander signed in relief.“Woah! you guys really do look like secret agents going to infiltrate a company”, Alexander exclaimed, staring between the two of them. “If I didn't know better, I would have thought you guys were spies or assassins in your past life”.Charles and Kate looked at each other, both dress
“Taylor, Charles are you in?, I can't see anything”, Alexander asked.“Yes Alex, we're in. Don't worry there are no CCTV cameras in Rose's office, we'll take it from here”, Kate answered.“What a weird lady, who doesn't put CCTV cameras in their office”, Alexander commented.Charles handed Kate a torchlight.“Thanks' “, Kate whispered, taking it from him. Then walked to the bookshelf where she found the blueprints while Charles looked around the office.“Have got them”, Kate said with a triumphant smile, Charles walked over to her.“Great, time for you guys to get out of there…”, Alexander said.“Not yet”, Kate interrupted.“What do you mean not yet!”, Alexander exclaimed.“Why don't we check around, we might find more clues about the accident”, Kate suggested.“But…the longer you guys stay there, the higher the risk of getting got”, Alexander said exasperatedly.“He's got a point”, Gracie said.Kate gave Charles a pleading look, they might not have this opportunity to sneak into Rose
IN CHARLES' OFFICE Charles sat on the sofa while Kate burst out laughing. “What a dumb guard”, she thought. “That was really close”, Gracie stated. “Yeah but thanks to Taylor quick thinking”, Alexander said laughing. “Ghost, who believes in that. Am I right Charles?”, He turned to Charles as the latter gave him a deadly glare making him gulp. “We almost got caught because of you”, Charles said, causing Alexander to shrink in fear. Charles pulled Kate towards him causing her to sit on his lap, his arm around her waist. “Thanks to you we weren't caught”, he added smiling, as Kate smiled back. Alexander stared at the both of them shocked, his eyes literally popping out of their sockets. “How did you know the guard will fall for it?”Charles asked curiously. “Well, he was very scared, so I figured he would believe whatever I say”, Kate answered. “And he did”, Charles said. “Yeah, he did”, Kate nodded, chuckling. She hadn't had this much fun in a very long time. Alexander still
“What happened?”.“Please let's just stay like this for some time”, Charles answered in a low tone.Kate slowly wrapped her arm around Charles, they stayed like that for some time.Charles raised his head cupping Kate's face, while his other hand wrapped around her waist tightly.Kate stared at Charles confused. “Is something wrong?”, she asked in a whisper.Charles stared at her lips, letting out a low groan trying to fight his desire but couldn't. “Can I?”, He whispered, rubbing her lower lip.Kate breathing hitched, she nodded her head slowly.Charles bent down, capturing her lips, kissing her slowly. His arm wrapped around her waist, Kate wrapped her arm around his neck.He kissed her slowly and passionately, like lovers, gently sucking and nibbling on her lips. They parted from the kiss to catch their breath. Charles cupped her chin gazing at her lovingly.“She was beautiful”, he thought to himself, as her sapphire eyes twinkled under the moonlight. He captured her lips once more
