Narrator's POVCatherine was celebrating her 21st birthday with a small group of close friends. She'd been looking forward to this day for a long time, and she was so happy to be able to celebrate with the people she cared about most. But as the night went on, she started to feel a little bit strange. Her head was swimming, and she was having trouble focusing on what her friends were saying. Was it just the excitement of the party, or was something else going on?Catherine was feeling the effects of the heat and the alcohol. Her head was spinning, and her vision was blurry. She stumbled a bit as she tried to walk, and her friends started to look concerned. They tried to offer her some water, but she refused. She kept laughing and saying she was fine. But as the night wore on, she could no longer stay upright. She collapsed on the couch, and her friends could see that she was not okay. Catherine felt her head banging up against the wall. She tried soothing and easing the pain away, b

Catherine hurried to her office, only to see Philip already waiting."What are you doing in my office?" Catherine frowned." Boss lady, I only came here to show you the new ex..." Catherine interrupted." But why..." Catherine stopped as someone familiar stepped in."You?" Catherine screamed in shock."You?" Philip looked more surprised than Catherine. "What the hell?!" Catherine suddenly looked furious.The pair faced each other, their faces red with anger as everyone around them watched them recall the details of when they first met. "You mannerless creature." Philip cursed use nose. He was so annoyed to see Catherine again. The Blood Slashing is big and yet, he was called into the office by the crazy lady he met earlier at the elevator."What is he doing here?" Catherine too is so shocked. Someone she never wished to meet again."Um.. somebody explains what's going on?" Roxie broke the silence, as she looked from Catherine to Philip to Philip. "I don't know and I don't care,"

Lunch was fun. Both Catherine and Philip had a great time. If given the opportunity both of them would prefer to continue the day elsewhere. Sadly they didn’t have that as an option as they were to return to the office. Catherine’s Blood Slashing was one to envy. Some even said the Blood Slashing ran itself. In reality, it was all due to Catherine’s inbred leadership skills. She’d often be overlooked and undermined but what people couldn’t deny was the effect of her efforts.Catherine took the Blood Slashing to the next level after her father handed it over to her. From that level, she took it even higher. So she had to be there as often as possible, to remind people that she was the boss. Still, an afternoon out with Philip did her good. The conversation and light humor helped her loosen up and clear her head.Heaven knows she’s been choked at work. Philip on the other hand looked giddy, to say the least. From the way he walked, you could tell he was happy. He normally struts aroun

“Is that your stomach or a trapped animal?”“Very funny Philip. You’re such a comedian.” Philip loved to tease her. He knew she was hungry, and he was too but it seemed she was a tad more so than he was. The whole meeting felt like one long blur to her. She had had enough meetings today and couldn’t wait to wrap this one up. The presenter kept on talking and talking and talking. It felt like hell to her.A hell made personally for her. She imagined how much more enjoyable life would be if she could fast-forward certain moments. She’d speed up this moment in a heartbeat. But as much as she’d like to speed up certain moments she’d love to rewind and relive others even more. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to relive certain moments, especially the ones with Philip in them. Her mind had wandered off for a moment but hunger pains brought her back to earth. Her stomach growled once again and this time it was louder than it was the previous time. “Can’t you just adjourn the meeting? I mean the

Catherine couldn't contain her excitement as she packed her bags for the upcoming trip to Italy. She had been looking forward to it for weeks, and now the day had finally arrived. She had heard so many great things about the country and couldn't wait to experience it for herself, especially with Philip.As she packed her clothes and toiletries, she found her mind drifting to Philip. They had been working closely together for some time now and she couldn't help but feel a spark between them. She had always found him to be kind, intelligent, and charming, and lately, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more between them.With this thought in mind, Catherine made a decision and packed a couple of pieces of lingerie she had recently bought, hoping that this trip would be the opportunity for them to take the next step in their relationship.As she placed the lingerie in her bag, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
