KATHERINE To my surprise, Rose turned and shook her head before proceeding down the stairs. I felt my body stiffen, my eyelids twitching profusely, feeling the sound of her heels directly at my chest. I just wish she would stop whatever she's planning right now, because I don't want to be a part of it. I have done enough already, which I'm seriously regretting. I have been focusing on the repercussions of Rose and Alex's actions, forgetting that I'm involved too. I have been concealing their secrets, and God help me the day my boss will find out that I have been helping his wife to lie to him. I'm in deep shit! She slowly leaned over me with her hands pinned on my sides on the couch, her scrutinizing gaze fixed on mine. "What are you thinking?"I flinched, trying to move away from her, but I refrained from pushing her. "W-what do you want?" I whispered, stuttering.Her lips slowly curled up as she smiled mysteriously, "I know you want him, don't you? The offer is tempting and I know
KATHERINE "And why is that? So you were savoring what you saw to the extent that you lost your mind?" Rose taunted, folding her arms to her chest as she slowly rounded me before standing in front of me. Her teasing eyes bored into mine. "That's not true." I defended, but my high-pitched voice did nothing to back my claim. Although I liked what I saw indeed, I mean, I loved how the polo shirt he was putting on hugged his body, revealing his huge and firm muscles. How his hair was slightly disheveled, making him look excessively hot and hard to resist. I noticed all of these, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to start ogling him. I only glanced and looked away, afraid that Rose might walk in at any time because she might be playing a trick on me which I honestly didn't want to fall into. "You see what I'm saying? Even though I'm standing before you, you're busy going into your head. You're probably in a trance as you visualize those killer features of my husband, hm?" Rose chu
KATHERINERose didn't say anything, but remained quiet as she pulled into the driveway and we slowly got down from the vehicle. She glanced at me and smiled before walking into the building, and without wasting time, I followed suit.She went straight to the section where women's undies were, and I was flabbergasted by the beautiful designs. But the price on their price tags had my excitement faltering. Surely, just some lingerie would make me beg for food on the street.Well, the person beside me was more than capable of purchasing them. That's why she'd brought me to this place in the first place." Judging from the expression on your face, you want them too, but can't afford them, right?" Rose suddenly whispered to me, a smug smile on her lips." I don't want them," I countered sharply." Hmm.. I know you do. Who doesn't like quality brands? Actually, the money in your account could buy more than enough of all this," she pointed out, and I glared at her."Was that why you went ahea
NARRATOR"Does it make sense that my feelings were being used against me?" Katherine mumbled to herself as she sighed for the hundredth time.No matter how she thought about it, or how she had imagined her relationship with Rose, not once had it crossed her mind. She had thought of one million ways to execute the order from Rose, but no matter how she thought about it, it was absurd for her to get involved with her boss in the wrong way, knowing the type of person he was."What an unreasonable lady. He is your husband, not mine. What makes you think I would be able to stop him? Am I supposed to tie her husband with a rope in order to prevent him from leaving the resort earlier than others? It's not like I have any right to speak to him about whatever and whenever." "Hey, why are you mumbling to yourself? The bus is here. Are you not getting in?" Katherine was so lost in her thoughts that the unexpected voice startled her. She slowly looked up and saw a guy smiling at her.And that
NARRATOR"Oh wow.. You're something else. You finished the food even though you were literally crying." Katherine blinked in surprise, shaking her head as she stared at Eric, whose plate was void of any grain. His perseverance made her raise a thumb up for him. "How come you weren't even affected one bit?" Eric was surprised to see Katherine unaffected and in a good mood."I told you that I love spicy food." she shrugged. "I only pity those around me when I'm cooking.""So you cook your food by yourself?""Do I look like a rich woman to you?" Katherine threw back, leaning against her chair with her arms crossed. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she gazed into Eric's."It's just a question." Eric smiled awkwardly."Then, do you cook your food by yourself?" Katherine threw back the question."I do." "You're the weirdest joker on earth.""I know"Eric ordered some beer and the two began to drink."To be honest, I just got dumped today by my boyfriend?" Eric suddenly said."Huh?
KATHERINELike a night watchman, my wide open eyes watched the night slowly drift by and soon, it was dawn. Sighing deeply, I blinked the tears in my painful eyes away and rolled onto my side. I slowly stretched my hand, felt the table for my phone and almost knocked it to the floor, but stopped the movement of my hand on time. "gotcha!" I whispered to myself as I finally grabbed the phone. I turned on the screen and saw that it was already 6:00am and hissed. I dropped the phone back on the table and rolled onto my other side, facing the wall while burying myself with the quilt. Nothing is going my way at all. I can't believe that I actually came home with a stranger, and had to lie to my boss about my relationship status. When I think about it, it drives me crazy, my blood boils with so much anger. Flinging the covers off my body, I furiously sat up. There was no need to pretend to be asleep when I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night. Crawling out of my bed, I stormed out
NARRATORThe atmosphere was suddenly cold as the three were having their breakfast. Eric was in an awkward state as he had to endure the glare Hannah was sending his way. He found it difficult to relax in front of the two ladies, and he couldn't eat his food properly. He just wanted to disappear from their presence. He knew Hannah didn't like him at all, but he couldn't blame her. It wasn't her fault. He deserved whatever was coming his way. He had acted on impulse, approaching a stranger without minding the danger it posed to his career and the fact that it might affect Katherine's life. Thinking about it made him flog himself mentally. Katherine, who was focused on her food, raised her head and saw the awkwardness on Eric's face, which made her to stylishly take a peek at Hannah and realize the reason.She shook her head, before turning to face Hannah. "What are you doing?" she asked while frowning a little."Nothing." Hannah replied, as she focused on her food and that was when E
NARRATOR"Here is your coffee.""Thanks." Rose replied with a smile, even though her gaze was focused on a certain person. "The weather is nice today, don't you think, Dr. Steve?""Why are you here?" Dr. Steve asked, as he silently swallowed anxiously. He'd texted Rock last night and told him that he wanted to see him, but he didn't expect to see his devil wife sitting here instead.Rose slowly took a sip of her coffee and moaned out in content. She placed the cup on the table before leaning back against her chair. Her eyes seemed to be smiling but the doctor knew better. A word from her mouth was like a straight bullet to his uneasy heart. "Why don't you relax and have your coffee, Doctor?" Rose urged, her deceitful eyes pinning the doctor's apprehensive one in place."I'm not in the mood for any coffee right now. Tell me why you called me here. I have an appointment to attend." Dr. Steve refused, his hands under the table balled into fists. He had a bad premonition about this meeti
