Chapter Eleven

When Mr. Orlando, Blake, and Rome arrived at Mr. Jeffrey's office, his secretary gazed away from the computer and stared at them with an unbothered expression.“Mr. Jeffrey is busy. So expect you have an appointment, you guys should come another time.” He said, placing his focus back on the keyboard.Anger settled on Mr. Orlando's face, but when he gazed at Rome calm expression, he knew not to act without an order for his young master, so he kept silent.“Hi, I know we don't have an appointment with Mr. Jeffrey, but I have something urgent to tell him. So can you inform him that Lady Catherine's husband is here to see him?” Rome said with a half-smile.“Seriously, I'm not going to repeat myself. So you guys should leave.” The secretary said, typing aggressively on the keyboard without staring at Rome.A soft sigh escaped Rome's lips as he gazed at Mr. Orlando and slightly nodded his head.“Excuse me,

Chapter Twelve

The evening at the Barlow mansion was calm, but there was so much tension around the table as the family sat down for dinner.“Grandpa,” Catherine said, barely able to contain her excitement.“What is so important that you can't wait for dinner to be over? Can't you see that father is eating?” Dana, Chloe's mother said, glaring at Catherine.Gazing at Dana and her daughter, Rome faintly smiled when he saw the rage in their expression.It was clear to him that Mr. Jeffrey had turned Chloe down and given the contract back to his wife.“I just wanted to tell grandfather that Mr. Jeffrey came to my office today, and we signed the contract for the five million dollars projects,” Catherine mumbled, sighing softly.The fork fell from Mr. Barlow's hand and he gazed at his granddaughter, smiling with his eyes.“But how? He sounded so mad yesterday when he called me.” Mr. Barlow mumbled.&l

Chapter thirteen

Two months went by naturally and during that time, Rome had watched Catherine's cousins avoid her, treating her like an outsider just as their parents did to her.But she found a new friendship with him, and both of them became a bit closer than before.Although they were far from acting like a married couple, she felt a bit at ease around him and that was more than he could ask for.That morning when Rome rolled over in bed, his hand touched Catherine's arm, and he slowly raised his eyelids and stared at her.‘I can't believe we've been sleeping in the same bed for a week now. All thanks to that cold I caught last week.’ Rome thought, staring at her long lashes.Suddenly, Catherine's eyes opened, and they stared at each other for a while. Then she got out of bed without saying a word to him.“Good morning, wife,” Rome shouted, staring at her back.Without replying, Catherine rushed into the bathroom and

Chapter fourteen

The taxi stopped at the old railway on lane street, and Rome got out of the car. Then he waited for the driver to drive off before he approached the black Land Rover Defender and got in. “Good morning, young master.” Mr. Orlando said, gazing at Rome from the front seat. “Morning,” Rome absentmindedly replied because his entire thought was on getting Catherine those accounts and figuring out a way to go about it. The driver drove off, and a few minutes later, they made a stop at “Entourage Men Wear,” and Mr. Orlando and Rome headed into the building. The clerk rushed over to them and slightly bowed. Then he raised his head and said, “Your father had already made a call to us. Your outfit is in the VIP room. Please follow me, sir.” “This is Jerry. He has been responsible for master wearing for a long time, including yours, when you were little.” Mr. Orlando said, staring at Rome. “I can remember.” He replied, smiling at Jerry. Th

Chapter Fifteen

The weekend finally arrived, and it was Saturday. A day such as this was a time for the Barlow cousins to relax and spend their dollars on clubbing, shopping, and other stuff.But today, the four of them spend the morning in the old-fashioned chamber in the east wing, wallowing in depression as they sat on the couch.“So, have any of you landed the account yet?” Chloe said, staring at her cousins and hoping for a negative response from them.The four of them had kept speech from each other as they worked all week to land the accounts.“Well, no. The people in 'Fine wine industry wouldn't even talk to me about the account. It's like it doesn't exist.” Richard said, letting out a harsh breath.“The same thing happened to me. The CEO of Road land INC refused to see me on several occasions.” Jeff said with a frown.“Seriously?”“Yeah, I had to stalk him for days. When I fi

Chapter Sixteen

The smile on Catherine's face kept widening as she and Mr. Ford engaged in further discussions while Rome stood by, maintaining his silence.“What is going on here?” Mr. Barlow calmly asked with a hint of anger in his tone when he met up with Catherine and Rome. The instant her gaze met with her grandfather's angry eyes, Catherine's self-confidence dropped back to zero and panic was the only thing she felt.Inside, Rome was enrage, seeing traces of fear in his wife's expression, yet he kept a calm face.The rest of the Barlow family met up with Mr. Barlow, and when Chloe's and Catherine's eyes met, she threw her cousin a hard look then slyly smiled.None of them said a word as they waited eagerly for Madam Rosey and Mr. Barlow to lash out and humiliate the couple.But as Mr. Barlow moved his lips to utter a word, his eyes rested on Mr. Ford cold stare,  and his entire expression softened. Then he focused his attention

Chapter Seventeen

The musicians kept playing classic tunes as the guests enraged themselves in discussions, munching on appetizers, and dancing.“The way the night is going, you might just end up shaving your hair.” Jeff teased, smiling at Charles, but he got an icy stare in return.“Catherine may be assigned to that account, but just as it was easy for it to be taken from Chloe and passed onto her, it's that easy to snitch it from her grip,” Charles replied with a frown.Then glared at his cousin before walking away, heading towards Bill.“What is he up to?” Jeff mumbled, scowling as he watched Charles meet up with the chairman of the MC group.At the same time, Catherine and Rome were in the process of walking towards Bill when she saw her cousin and him talking, and she stopped in her tracks.“What's wrong, wife?” Rome softly asked, sadly gazing at her.“My cousin is planning on killing two birds

Chapter Eighteen

 “What's going on?” Madam Rosey mumbled, gazing in Carmen and Rome's direction.Then she stared at her husband, and he seemed concerned as he watched his granddaughter, chatting happily with four of the biggest chairmen in the business circle.“What do you think they are talking about?” Elijah asked with a frown.“We wouldn't know until we meet them. Let's go.” Mr. Barlow said, sitting his wine glass on the table.Excitement was the only emotion Catherine felt as she gazed at the chairmen's lively faces, knowing that her potential was getting the spotlight it's deserved.Over the past years, she had struggled so many times to showcase her talent, yet she kept messing up for unknown reasons. However, now that she stood in the midst of the top-notches in the business world, she was sure that her past mistakes weren't due to her fault.“Bill, Elon, Francis, Benjamin, what could my gran

Chapter Nineteen

“What happened at that party last night!” Madam Rosey shouted, glaring at her grandchildren.The living room was awfully quiet as they all hung their head low, avoiding their grandmother's icy gaze.“Someone better start talking?” Rosey said, slamming her hand against the chair arm.There was a long pause, then Charles gazed at Catherine and smirked.“All this is Catherine's fault.” He mumbled, pitifully staring at his grandmother.A look of disbelief settled on Jeff's face as he threw his cousin a hard look and thought, ‘What are you even talking about now?’Then he gazed at Richard and Chloe, and from their expression, Jeff could tell that they were thinking the same thing.“How is Catherine to blame here? She got all four accounts.” Edward asked, scowling at his nephew.“That's the problem, uncle. She got all three accounts that weren't assigned to her.”

Chapter Twenty

“Good morning. What are you working on?” Rome mumbled as he stared at Catherine, concentrating on her laptop.For a moment, she focused on the screen. Then she gazed at him and said, “It took three weeks, but I'm finally finished with my final soft copy for the plans for the ‘Fine wine’ project, and I just send it to the team members.”A smile crept on Rome’s lips as he got out of bed and approached Catherine. Then he squatted in front of her and softly intoned, “You have been working so hard. I'm proud of you, wife.”“Really?” Catherine whispered, gazing into his eyes.For the past week, she had been doubting herself every step of the way, knowing how many people are expecting her to fail, and Rome knew it, even though he didn't talk about it with her.As he slowly ran his fingers through her hair, he nodded and said, “Yes. How about you take a day off, and we can go out for d
