“How did you know where I live?”
Katherine was dumbfounded when she realized that she didn’t tell him her home address. She was so caught up with their conversation that she forgot to tell him after she hung up her phone.
“Of course I know.. You wrote it in your resume, remember?” His brow was up as his lip curved into a smile.
Her pointy finger’s pad made circles on her thumbnail. Her lips were puckered and her brows knitted together. “Ah..haha..yeah.. I didn’t realize that you read it.. Or remember it for that matter..”
She didn’t think he actually read their resumes. She thought it was all handled by the managers and the HR.
“Are you surprised?”
She nodded stiffly.
“Do you remember that time when you went for the interview?”
“Yeah..” Of course she remembered. She was so nervous at that time.
“WHAT?!” Katherine was scared out of her wits. ‘Did Dad see?!’ She was scared of what his reaction would be if he saw them too close to each other. Outside, Edgar was looking in their direction. He walked up to the car. Katherine’s heart beated even loudly. ‘Oh my god!!’ “Did he see us..that way?” She whispered. Morris was taking off the seatbelt when he heard her words. He then noticed that she looked rather nervous. “Are you okay?” Her mouth fell open. ‘You asking me if I’m okay? Aren’t you nervous yourself?!’ “What if he saw us?” An eyebrow raised at this. “And? What’s wrong with that?” “He doesn’t know that we’re already together!” ‘Together. I like the sound of that.’ His lips curved in a smile. “We’re abou
“We’re here.” Both Katherine and Edgar looked out of the window. They could see the humongous building with glass windows displaying cars inside. Around them were cars neatly lined up in the parking lot with prices written in huge numbers. Morris stepped out of the car, snapping the two out of their daze. He came around and opened the door for Katherine. Seeing this, Edgar opened the door on his own, not waiting for Morris to open it for him like earlier. He stared dumbfounded at the building. ‘Aren’t they supposed to pick up the prize? Isn’t this a car dealership showroom?’ “Mr. Ingram..good to see you, Sir.. Miss Atwood, welcome..” Only then, Edgar, noticed that a man in a suit came out of the building to meet them. The manager noticed another person with them. “Miss Atwood’s father..” Morris spoke.
“You already have a boyfriend?!” Ursa exclaimed as soon as Katherine told her. “Yes, mom.” Ursa felt a slight pang in her heart. She wasn’t able to watch over her daughter for 8 years. She didn’t get to experience being confided on by her daughter about her crush or having suitors. And now suddenly she’s told that her daughter already has a boyfriend! “What’s his name? Is he an old classmate? A neighbor? A workmate? A person from a blind date or dating site? A friend? A friend’s relative?” Ursa shot one question after another. ‘I should have asked her if she had anybody wooing her. It’s my fault. I still saw her as my little girl.’ Katherine sat by the hospital bed and held her mother’s hand. “His name is Morris. You could say he’s a workmate. A friend’s soon-to-be relative. And a friend.” “Morris..” “
Needless to say, Morris was well-received in the Atwood family. If Edgar had reservations before, with how he was willing to go to such lengths to protect Katherine and even to extend his care to the people she loves, it was no question how sincere he was to her. This may be Katherine’s first relationship but she’s already an adult. She knows how to take responsibility. There’s no need to interfere. If they want to seek advice, only then will they speak. Morris didn’t feel awkward at all. He only wanted them to be at ease with Katherine and his relationship. He didn’t allow them to feel intimidated by him at all. He served them the food he had picked up from The Waterfront Well. He served Katherine especially. As for Katherine, she felt blissfully happy having him. “Uncle, can I take Katherine for a bit? I’ll drop her off at
Then suddenly, she felt something poking her from beneath her. Their rhythm was momentarily disturbed as she glanced down. Her eyes went wide in shock. She wanted to get off of him but he held on to her tight, bringing back her lips to his. She could feel his raging shaft under her, poking her. ‘Is this the effect I have on him?’ They continued to kiss, his one hand holding her head close to him, the other hugging her. He didn’t dare move his hands or he might touch him somewhere that would shock her. She finally had the sense to push him gently, stopping their kisses. Their lips have already turned red as well as the skin around their mouth. She giggled seeing how ridiculous they looked. She hugged him, resting her chin against his collarbone. However, the raging thing did not subside. Morris had closed her eyes. Now that h
Sounds of laughter echoed through the halls in the Lovell family’s residence. The maids scurried around, preparing for dinner. There wasn’t supposed to be an event today but with the young masters’ announcement as soon as they arrived home from their trip last night, they were instructed to prepare a feast. “Hey did you hear?” One of the maids had come to the kitchen from serving tea in the living room. “Hear what? That Miss Rowena is finally in a relationship, and on top of that, he’s young master Leopold!” “No, there’s another one..” “Huh?” “Young master Morris is also in a relationship and he’ll be bringing his girlfriend over as well!” “Are you sure?!” “Yes!!” “Is he back together with his ex?” “Of course not!!” “Oh. Good. So, who
She froze. She stared at him with wide eyes and raised eyebrows.“Can you repeat what you said? I seem to have misheard you..”“I said, what if I get a place of our own?”She gasped. “So I heard it right.. Wait.. what? Why?”He rubbed her thumb. “I want to take you to work, and pick you up after. I want to spend more time with you..”She was shell-shocked. ‘Isn’t it too fast? Wait, is it? I know we’ve known each other for a long time and I do want to spend more time with him. But is it really okay? It’s not even a week since we became a couple.’He didn’t hear any word from her after that.At a red light, he took the opportunity to look at her.He felt guilty for springing up such a proposal on her. He only wanted to be with her.
“Kathy!” Rowena immediately brought her in for a hug. “Did you guys just pick up the car?”“Hi…” Katherine was still feeling shy about her new status as Morris’s girlfriend. No, she was shy about being anyone’s girlfriend as this is her first relationship.She was grateful though that apart from Diana whom she’s comfortable with, now Rowena was welcoming her as well. Not just as Diana’s friend. But as Morris’s girlfriend.“We picked up the other one. But the other one still needs to be delivered later on.”“Ah? You bought two?” Rowena’s brows shot up in surprise and so did the others.“Yes, one for uncle and aunt and the other for Kat..” He swung Katherine’s hand playfully, making the other smile. “I thought that it would be more convenient for uncle to t
