"Why are you so concerned about who your husband gets together with? I can't believe you followed them to this place.""He didn't even see anyone to replace me apart from his secretary. How could he stoop so low? He's acting like a man without class." Rose grumbled, clearly irritated, as she glared at her husband's car that'd just zoomed out of Katherine's house with bitterness.She'd been keeping an eye on the two right from when they were at the restaurant to Katherine's house. And instead of getting anything to pin on the man, what she'd been getting was pure jealousy and regret."You don't have any right to judge the man, young lady; if you knew so well about class as you claim, you wouldn't have cheated on him with his PA in the first place. Rock himself is the definition of class, but you left it for nobody like his assistant. How dare you preach about class?" The woman beside Rose scolded her as she rolled her eyes in mockery of the hypocrite beside her."Nora Jones, I don't kn
Jason had made sure to lock his door properly while leaving for work in the morning, so who could have access to open it except his own mother?He sighed as he slowly turned to face the woman."Mrs. Miller," he whispered."Anybody hearing you call me this name would think that I'm a stranger to you." The woman smiled.She looked so beautiful in the peach-colored gown that adorned her tall, slender figure. Although she was already in her early fifties, she still looked young as elegance radiated off of her.However, no matter how beautiful she looked, Jason could still see the sadness in her eyes. No amount of make-up could disguise the truth, which was obvious to him. She was only hanging on in that marriage, and although she wanted to be rescued, she had no choice but to hold herself back as her punishment for mistreating her own children."Mom, what are you doing here?" Jason asked, taking a seat on the couch."Why do you look like you have seen a ghost? Can't I visit my own son
The word 'tread' carefully has been ringing a bell in Rock's head ever since he lazily crawled out of bed.How could he have the strength to get up when he'd been blessed with a wonderful dream?Yes, he'd dreamed about Katherine, his secretary.But when he thought of meeting her in reality, he didn't hesitate anymore, as he'd quickly bathed and left the house, not even bothering to have breakfast.Sighing deeply, Rock shook his head. His feelings for her are getting enormous, and it's scary.But what could he do? He couldn't just deny himself this euphoric feeling. In fact, the thought of her is like an intoxicating wine, and he didn't mind drinking this fine wine. She's slowly growing on him.Now, he could smile again.Rock shifted in his position beside the window with his hands in his trousers pocket, his deep, charming gray orbs looking so lost in thought as they stared down at the bustling city. A hint of a smile was tugging at the corners of his alluring lips. His dark hair was
As the time for lunch approached, Katherine found herself getting nervous and agitated, which was unlike her. Having lunch with her boss was like a dream come through, but instead of being excited, she was damped with a feeling of fear. Everything was happening so fast in an unexpected way, and it scared the hell out of her. This is like one in a million opportunity, but why was she hesitating? "Why do you look so worked up and gloomy? What is wrong?" Beth suddenly walked over to Katherine and asked as she noticed her abnormal behavior. 'Something is definitely wrong, not that you will ever know.' she mumbled under her breath before throwing the seemingly cheerful Lady a suspicious glance. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Beth asked, feeling like she'd done something wrong. "Why do you suddenly look so excited and happy? I thought you were unhappy and regretted coming to work here? You weren't this bubbly a few hours ago." Katherine felt that something was fishy as she fur
Katherine was practically screaming in her head as she kept thinking about what happened between her and Rock. It was as if she would explode from happiness and urgently needed to share this news with someone. Only one person came to mind. Unable to contain her excitement, she decided to text Hannah, who happened to be available at that moment, and the two headed for the restroom. "What happened?" Hannah asked the instant they were in the room.Katherine decided to check the cubicles to make sure that they were alone. After making sure that it was just the two of them, she finally felt at ease as she looked back at Hannah, who was burning with curiosity. "Promise me that you won't scream or make any loud noise, and your voice must remain hushed." Katherine said, making sure to keep her friend under control before spilling the gist."I promise," Hannah hurriedly agreed, obviously driven by the spirit of curiosity.Katherine looked around before moving closer to her friend, "We almos
The moment Rock landed at the airport, his straight face suddenly lit up with excitement. Otis couldn't help staring at his boss through the rear-view mirror, surprise on his face. He couldn't understand what was happening to his boss. Instead of appearing tired and drowsy after his long journey, he looked more excited and over the moon, which was unlike him. It was as if he couldn't wait to see someone. Unaware of the suspicious look on his driver's face, Rock slowly took out a box from his suit pocket, his eyes filled with affection and merry as he stared at the shining fancy-looking box. He slowly opened it, the smile on his handsome face widening as he raised a hand to touch the necklace with 'K' initial.He specifically got it for her, and he couldn't wait to give it to her. After staring admiringly at the necklace for a while, he finally put it back in his pocket before looking at Otis, who quickly looked away. "Step on it," he instructed."Yes sir," Ot
After a well deserved wait, the closed door was finally opened, as the two ladies walked back into the room where Rock had been waiting.Rock felt his heartbeat skip at the sight of his beloved secretary, his eyes widening with shock and admiration as he stared at the stunning beauty before him like he'd lost his mind. Within a short time, his secretary was transformed into a model from a magazine. The long dusty pink cowl-neck slit dress she wore fitted her perfectly along with her silver heels, her long blonde hair was parted on the side. She looked like a goddess.Katherine, who had been studying her boss' expression, miscalculated the man's reaction. She swallowed hard in apprehension, an awkward smile on her face as she got close to him. "H-how d-do I look sir?" she looked shyly into the man's eyes and stuttered. But the man remained silent as he continued to stare at her with mouth wide open. "D-do I look weird?" Katherine asked, her voice sounding like panic, causing the man
"Look who is here. Rock, I thought you wouldn't come," a man in a black and white suit asked as he walked over to Rock, while holding Rose's hand."Declan, I know you didn't expect me to show up." Rock smirked. "But what to do? I'm already here. Salvador is our friend, and we have to be there for him." he added. "Yeah, you're right," Declan agreed. He looked at Rose, before looking back at Rock with an awkward smile on his face. "You already know the woman with me. I don't need to introduce you two. Isn't that your secretary?" Declan added, his suspicious eyes trailed on Katherine, who was trying hard to appear less visible. "It's good to know that your brain and sight are wonderful. Just don't stare at her too much. The one you have is enough." Rock replied, glaring at his friend."Of course," Declan laughed. "I wouldn't mess with her until she comes to me willingly.""This time around I will bury you alive whether you're guilty or not." Rock threatened, causing the other to shi
