"Sir, do you need anything?" Katherine asked, as she approached Rock's desk, a smile on her face. He paused the movement of his hand as he looked up at her, a warm smile dangling at the corners of his lips."Yes, Mrs. Whites. Is the report ready?""Aww... someone is now being enthusiastic about his work." Katherine coed. "Tell me, did an angel visit you in your dream last night?" she teased."Don't forget that I'm still your boss. Do you want to lose your job?""No sir, the report is ready and I'm here with it." She stood properly and adjusted herself before dropping the file on the table. The room suddenly fell into silence as the two stared momentarily at each other before bursting into laughter."You really scared me with that cold mean voice of yours" Katherine said, glaring at her boss."Why? Are you afraid of losing the friendly side of your boss, huh?" Rock chuckled, raising an eyebrow at his secretary."Of course, I'm very scared. Please, don't revert to that side ever again.
Rock was silent, brows slightly creased, eyes lazily staring at the lips of each person that had an opinion to give with no interest in them. They were obviously saying something important but he didn't care at the moment. He kept tapping his finger impatiently under the large conference table, hoping the boring meeting could end sooner. There were many voices in the room, laying down their thoughts and ideas about the new business project, but the only voice that seemed to penetrate into his hazy mind, occupying it, was that of his secretary. The picture of her teary innocent blue eyes kept flashing vividly in his head, causing him to lose concentration on the meeting. He didn't know why he was like this or why the thought of his secretary had him on edge and restless. However, he kept blaming himself for making her cry. If only he hadn't let anger take over him. This was his thought as he continued to think of ways to get her to forgive him. Does it really matter? She was his em
Upon getting to his office, Jason slumped on his chair. His mood was sour and gloomy as he stared at the window with a frown on his face. It just occurred to him that he didn't have the right to poke into others' business when he didn't even know how to confront his own problem.Sighing deeply, he picked up a pen on the desk and started playing with it. Coming back to his lonely office made him remember his predicament-he could only think about his secretary, which was obviously strange, by the way. He had his own problems and even though he's been trying to appear to be cool, he's really troubled deep down. He didn't know how to go about it or what to do. It was becoming too much of a headache for him.Dropping the pen on the desk, he stood up angrily as he walked over to the window with his hands in his trousers pockets. He sighed as he looked into the distance. "Isn't it funny that a playboy like me could easily fall so hard.... for my secretary? When did this crazy feeling even
Following the location that was sent to her, Katherine blinked confusedly when she paused in front of a fancy restaurant. Her mouth and eyes were wide open as she stared at the building- one of the best places to eat in the city according to the articles for those who could afford it. She'd have to look at the location once again to make sure that she wasn't at the wrong place. But after taking a look at it for the hundredth time, she was reassured that she wasn't mistaken. That was when she finally made the move as she headed into the massive building.Restaurants like this were outside of her league and the only way she could access them was if she accompanied Rock to some of his meetings. But right now, she was sure that he had no appointment with anyone. Well, it was normal for people like Rock to wine and dime in such an expensive place. But then..."Why would he invite me to such a place?" Not knowing what to think at all, she decided to push her thoughts away as she just ke
KATHERINE I kept thinking over what happened between me and my boss as I walked home. Unlike me, I felt less excited about going home today. I couldn't help wanting to see him before going but he never showed up at the office. A little part of me blames myself for running away like that. He was just trying to apologize, but who does that by ordering the whole restaurant? Sighing deeply, I just shook my head as I tried to unlock the door. But then the door was suddenly flung open, causing me to flinch in surprise."Are you ready to come inside now?" I saw Hannah grinning at me. "You startled me, Hannah." I glared at her while griping my chest. "And why so?" she asked, raising her brows suspiciously at me. "The last time I checked, you're not the only tenant in this apartment." "Why are you home so early?" I asked, ignoring the teasing smile on her face. It's obvious she wanted to make fun of my frustrated expression. Shee just chuckled, opening the door wider as I walked in. "
Yawning lazily, Katherine slowly drank the cup of hot coffee. She really didn't want to come to work today, but she'd forced herself to do so."Hi""Oh hi," she quickly replied, a smile on her face as she turned to face the owner of the voice. But her expression instantly changed when she saw Rock standing not far from her, two hands in his pocket as he stared at her."Didn't get enough sleep?" he asked.'Yes, I couldn't. Whose fault was it?' she silently rolled her eyes inwardly before opening her mouth."Good morning, sir. I didn't see you coming. Do you want me to prepare coffee for you?" she asked, an awkward smile on her face."No," Rock said. "I have had one already.""Yes you have." Katherine nodded, looking down. She felt awkward standing in front of the man after what had happened between them the other day. And why was he staring at her this way? Although she was looking away, she could feel his gaze all over her, making her blush, butterflies exploding in her stomach. Just
Walking into his quiet, haunted-looking home, Rock couldn't help shrieking at the silence of the house. The loneliness was killing him, but what could he do? He sighed as he made his way towards the stairs. It's almost four months already, but the whole place still brought him sadness. The memories were still there. That's why he doesn't like coming home and prefers staying in the hotel. It was his, so he could stay there for as long as he wanted. But once in a while, he will come home.Even though coming here brought him sad memories, he vowed never to leave the house.Sighing deeply, he headed for the bathroom.He quickly took a cold shower, and by the time he was done his phone had already rang several times.He picked up the phone, plunging on the couch in his room before dialing the number."Why are you calling me at this time?" he spat coldly."Brother," he heard Jason's slurring voice."You only call me that when you're frustrated over something. What is it? Are you spending
"Hmm...look at how she's whoring herself around with different men, it's not even been long since she divorced her husband. This is like the third time her picture with another man has appeared in the tabloids." Dr. Steve, who was busy pressing his phone, tilted his head to the side and saw the angry look on his wife's face. He couldn't resist the urge to move closer to see who she was referring to.As if she read his mind, she quickly turned the iPad to face her husband, while hissing in irritation. The man silently grimaced when he saw the picture of Rose. He felt his body shudder, as his stomach churned with uneasiness. "Honey, I feel bad for her ex-husband. He must be feeling bad seeing all these pictures of his ex-wife with other men. I think she's doing all this to spite the man."Dr. Steve adjusted his glasses nervously, as he gave his wife a dry laugh, trying hard to hide how uncomfortable he was with the picture of the woman on the screen. His hands were already clammy
