Kate's POV
It's Monday and it means back to work. I'm nearly late because of Zara. She kept me awake all night talking about stuff.
I grabbed my things and zoomed out of my apartment and went to the office. As I entered the office, Carla immediately called for me and asked me to go to the conference room. I grabbed my portfolio and went to the room. Marc and Stella were already sitting there.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"A client wanted to have a partnership with us. The client called last night, said he wanted to discuss some things." Marc said.
I sat down beside Stella and soon Bianca and Jaime came. Minutes passed and I wondered who's the client.
Kate's POVWell the week went well. It's busy but fun. Some clients wanted to branch out from our shops.It's Friday and we have already left the office. Here I am sitting in Marc's car. I actually haven't thought about Troy since he appeared. Work really helped me forget about him."Hey, what are you thinking?""Nothing...just nervous.""Hey...don't be nervous. My parents will like you. Don't worry, they're very funny. Plus Uncle Loyd is there to entertain us. We can escape them and stay outside.""You sound like you're my boyfriend. And don't walk out on your family. You're very lucky to have one."
"Did you honestly believe he was in love with you?" Isabella shared her thoughts. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't speak. "We had reached an agreement. He needed to end his relationship with you and become mine after you confessed your feelings for him in order to save his company from bankruptcy." She expressed herself.I looked at Troy in disbelief. Tears were forming and my heart's starting to ache. "Aww...little girl starts to cry. You really didn't know, did you? Looks like Troy used his sweet words to charm you.""Is this true, Troy? That this is just a game?" He didn't speak. My blood started to boil."Is this true?!? Is this some kind of joke to you? I thought you loved me!" He still didn't speak.
Marc's POVI woke up with Kate cuddling me. I watched her sleep. Her face looks calm and cute. A strand of hair covered her face so I tucked it behind her ear. She shifted so I tried not to move much.After a while, her eyes fluttered open. "Morning sunshine." I said, smiling at her. "Morning.." She said weakly. Her eyes are a bit puffy from last night. She suddenly pulled away from me and said, "Oh my god...I..uh..I'm gonna take a shower.." She ran quickly in the bathroom. I think she felt embarrassed to be cuddling with me. I just chuckled and turned on the tv.Kate's POVOhmygosh!! How long has he been looking at me? I was even cuddling him. Then, I remembered my nightmare last night. I can't believe I told him that Troy's my ex. I have to tell him not to cancel the partnership. It's
Kate's POVIt's Monday and work again. I just arrived at my desk when Carla suddenly appeared."Good morning, Kate!" She greeted."Mornin!" I chirped."Marc wants to see you in his office." I suddenly felt nervous. Why would he call me? Is it because of the time spent in the farm?I regained my composure and walked to his office. I knocked and waited for the signal."Good morning, Kate. Please, sit." I just smiled at him and sat down."I guess you're wondering why I wanted to talk to you.""Yes...did I do something
Stella's POV"Stella, sweetheart, I want you to organize the auction. Pick bachelorettes for the auction. At least 20, dear." My father said on the phone."Yes, dad." I said before ending the call. Looks like I need to find single ladies out there."Hi Stella!" I turned around to see Bianca."Hey girl! What's up?" I asked while approaching her."I need to call the planner and the caterer. I've already called some but they said their schedules are full." She frowned a bit.I rubbed her back and said, "It's gonna be fine. We can do this!"
Kate's POVBreathe in. Breathe out.The day has finally come. I don't know what to do. Just two or three days ago, the dressmakers finished the designs. I'm excited to see my work.Ding. Dong.Oh! Stella's here!I ran to the door and opened it. "Hi!!" I said with a big smile."You're cheery." Stella said."Oh I'll help you with that." I said, eyeing the dresses and other stuff she brought."We started picking dresses. Four gowns caught my eye. It was simpler yet elegant. The peach one is very long and the strap shou
Marc's POVI packed my small luggage with jeans, shirts, underwear, and shorts. Today's the day when I get to see Kate's hometown. I guess it's also a vacation from all the work I had to finish. And it's an advantage to gain Kate's heart.Ring...ring.."Kate.""Are you ready? My brother's helicopter's gonna be here at ten.""I'm on my way. See yah." I hung up and got ready on my way.I arrived at Kate's apartment in no time. I rang the doorbell and opened to a beaming Kate."Hi!" She chirped.
Kate's POV"I will always protect you, Kate. I know you don't want to fall in love but you just don't see it. You have me, I will love you until my last breath. You don't have to cry anymore. Just stay with me." Marc said while caressing my cheeks.It was only when my eyes fluttered open that I realized I was in my room. Something felt heavy around my waist, and I looked down. It was an arm, I discovered when I peeked. Soft snoring could be heard in the distance. When I turned to look at my side, I saw Marc sleeping peacefully. When I remembered my dream, I broke out in a flush.I couldn't stop staring at him for the entire five minutes. I'm curious as to how creepy that is. I've never held my gaze on a man for this long before. Every time I see him, my heart races faster, and every time he expresses concern for me, my heart warms even more. This is the first time I've e
