KATHERINE:
As soon as the car halted, the door was opened and I stepped out almost immediately before Leo could. I had to hurry up as I was already running late for a meeting.
“You don’t have to rush yourself, Katherine, you’re the boss remember?” I heard Leo’s voice as I was rushing into the house and I suddenly halted,
“I still don’t want to be late.” I simply responded and continued walking into the house. I hurried for the stairs, and headed straight to my room, but halted when I saw Tanya waiting at the entrance for me,
“Hey, you’re back.”
“Hey,” I responded, finding it a bit weird that she was standing right in front of my door, “Is everything alright? Do you want to see me?” Then I suddenly recalled the party she had mentioned last night,
“Oh, the party, how was it? Did you find any interesting guy, your date?”
She smiled,
“Too bad. I didn’t feel it anymore so I just came back home halfway to the party. I guess it was just the feeling that it might be boring or something.” She responded and I arched my brows. I could tell by her expression that something was wrong.
“Is something wrong? You don’t seem happy.” I was worried about her because Tanya wasn’t the type of person to keep such an expression,
“Yeah, we’ll talk about it. First, can I come with you to the company? Maybe we could talk once you’re done.” She responded and I could only stare at her in surprise with a shocked expression on my face,
“You want to come with me?”
She nodded her head,
“Yes, but you have to convince my brother, please. I want to talk to you, and maybe we could talk on the way.”
I heaved deeply and nodded my head, “Alright then. I need to get prepared now so I don’t go late. I’ll meet you shortly.” I responded and opened the door. As soon as I walked in and shut the door, I headed straight for the bathroom, and in 20 minutes, I was done.
Thankfully, it was just a short meeting. I was supposed to know all the other companies that were willing to invest with us, and be a part of whatever I was planning to organize.
I found a pink armless gown going below my knee level and picked out a 5–inch white heel as well. Once I was done dressing, I applied my lipstick and brushed my hair properly before I took a deep breath in. Now, I am ready.
To match my outfit, I took along with me a pink bag and began walking out of the room. Tanya was waiting in the living room along with Blake, and it felt like the living room was so uncomfortable. Why were they avoiding each other’s gaze?
“I’m ready.” I cut the silence short, and they both cocked their head back to stare at me,
“Thank goodness, let’s leave,” Tanya responded and hurried towards me, while Blake rose to his feet.
“Is she coming with us? The Alpha would be mad if he found out and…”
“It’s fine, Blake, I’ll talk to him,” I said, but Leo’s voice came next,
“Talk to me about what?” He said, taking steps down the stairs, while I turned around to face him. For a quick second, I was taken aback by his looks, and I almost lost my breath staring at him. Why the hell was he so f*cking hot. Stupidly, the next scene that played in my head was a dream. Our passionate moment in bed together and…
“Katherine?” Leo’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I fluttered my brows twice,
“Oh, yeah. We just want to go out for a few hours after my meeting. The meeting wouldn’t be for long so Tanya can wait.” I responded, trying as hard as possible to control the racing of my heartbeat so Leo wouldn’t hear it or trying not to let my mind think about what I badly wanted to think about right now.”
Leo was still silent, but then after a few seconds, he responded,
1/2
0
2/2
“Alright, but no parties, Tanya.” He said and I heard her chuckle.
“Thanks,” I said, and averted my gaze to Blake who began walking out of the living room while Tanya and I followed behind. We got to the car and Blake ignited the engine immediately.
“Tell me, what do you think I should do? I mean, I think I’m starting to like this guy even if I rarely see him.”
I chuckled at Tanya’s last statement. “You rarely even know him, Tanya, and more importantly you think he might be your mate. Don’t get too attached because you might find your mate someday and you’ll have to let go. Trust me, the hardest and most painful thing to do is letting go.”
“And what if he’s truly my mate? What about the kind of person he is? Wouldn’t it be wrong?”
“You shouldn’t judge if you haven’t heard from him, Tanya. I know exactly what it feels like when everyone thinks you’re who you’re not. Don’t make a mistake and lose something so precious to you one day.”
The car halted, so it meant we were already at the company.
“I’ll be back in two hours, and maybe we can keep the conversation going with some fresh juice.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
When she nodded her head, I opened the door and stepped out of the car.
“There’s no need for you to go anywhere, Blake. There’s Tanya here to keep you company.” The expression on his face suddenly changed and I chuckled at him. It was so hard to hide the fact that Blake might have a thing for Tanya though, but too bad he wasn’t her
mate.
I began heading towards the entrance of the company, and when I got in, I saw a familiar figure standing by the stairs with his hands tucked into his pocket.
Today, he was looking incredibly handsome, and I had to admit that to myself, but for a reason, it also felt like it was Leo standing right there. I strongly had this feeling that there might be a connection, and most importantly, there was a new feeling I always got whenever I saw him. I just couldn’t explain whatever it was, but excitement had to be part.
Why the hell was I even the slightest bit excited staring at him from the distance I stood,
He didn’t speed towards me this time but kept walking till he was just a few steps away from me, then I heard his voice,
“Hello, Love. We meet again.!”
