Chapter Fifty-Four
As Rome and Catherine sat side by side with her in the comfort of his arm, they kept their eyes focused on the ocean waves.
The wind caressed against their faces, making a mess out of their hairs.
The breeze was so strong that Catherine couldn't hear the sound of her phone ringing in the car.
At this point, Mr. Barlow’s coat felt hot on him, and when he got another answer from Catherine's voicemail, he became even more frustrated and anxious.
“What is the matter? It's been fifteen minutes, and Catherine is still not here.” Mr. Ford said, frowning at him.
The first thought that crossed Mr. Barlow's mind was to slander Catherine and Rome's name so the family can not take the fall if Mr. Ford gets mad.<

It took a while, then Catherine finally came out of the building and got into the car.“So, how was the meeting?” Rome asked, smiling at her.“Mr. Ford wants me to be his project management director,” Catherine said while staring blankly at the windshield.“That's a good thing, right?”“Yeah,”“Judging from your tone and attitude, I don't believe that it is. Catherine, you look pale. What's going on?”Sighing heavily, she turned to Rome and said, “I'm over the moon about this project. It's like a dream come true for me. I'm…”“You are just what?” Rome asked, gazing at her.“I'm afraid, Rome. Even though I'm so excited about this project, I can't help panicking that I'm going to be my cousins’ target again.”“Catherine, if this project is what you want, then let your desire to succeed be greater than all of y

A few days had passed after Catherine signed the contract with Mr. Ford, and early that Wednesday morning, she and Rome came downstairs for breakfast. When they entered the dining hall, Catherine froze as she stared at Jeff, glaring at her. Since the other family members had not arrived in the dining room, it was just Catherine, Rome, and him. “You are out?” Catherine mumbled, feeling her heartbeat increasing. The way Jeff kept staring at her made Catherine feel a chill run down her spine. “Yeah, My dad finally billed me out with grandfather's permission!” Jeff angrily intoned. Unknown to herself, Catherine grabbed onto Rome's hand and squeezed it. “Are you okay, wife?” Rome mumbled, staring at her. Then he followed her gaze and his sight rested on Jeff’s icy expression. “You should sit down,” Rome whispered. His words snapped Catherine out of her head. Then she walked to the table and got seated. But Ro

Then Mr. Ford turned to Rome and said, “I got a bottle of Romanee Conti 1945 that I plan to drink today. Do you want to have a glass with me?”“Of course,” Rome said, knowing that he didn't have an option to say, “no” because his father would guilt him into saying, “yes.”When they arrived at Mr. Ford's office, Rome wore a disguise before getting down from the car.Then he and Mr. Ford head into the building, and once they got into the lobby, the whispering began.It was not his first time entering his father's office.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Rome got to the Barlow mansion. When he entered the hallway, he assumed that everyone would be sleeping.But as he walked past the living room, he heard madam Rosey shouted, “Where do you think you are going?”For a moment, Rome stood still as he tried to pull himself together. Then he walked into the living room and realized that all the family members were there, except Chloe.“What do you take my house to be! Do you think it's a place where you can walk in and out with your filthy shoes at any time!” Madam Rosey lashed out.“I am sorry to be home late. I had to work overtime with my boss.” Rome mumbled, lowering his head.Although it was a white lie, it wasn't entirely false since he worked with his father, so it was only reasonable to call him his boss.“You smell like booze. What kind of work requires you to drink alcohol?” Edward harshly inton

Jeff is here and seated in the waiting room.”“What for?!”The way Mr. Barlow raised his voice had everyone at the table staring at him. Even Rome was curious as to why he looked so stressed all of sudden.“They want to terminate their contracts with Sir. Jeff.” His sec

A few seconds after Mr. Barlow entered his office, Rome, Catherine, and Jeff walked into the room, and Rome shut the door. Once Mr. Barlow sat behind his desk, he picked up his phone and made a call. “You can tell them to come in.” Mr. Barlow said before ending the call. A few minutes later, the office door opened, and a bunch of middle-aged-looking fellows entered the room. At first, they looked angry, but when their gazes rested on Rome, a look of fear crossed their faces. At that moment, Rome took Catherine's hand in his as he fixed his eyes on them. Although he didn't utter a word, they all assumed he was trying to tell them something. With AAA4 forced smile on his lips, Mr. Barlow stood to his feet and walked over to the clients. “I got told that you guys have some pressing issues to discuss with me, but you all should sit down first.” Mr. Barlow calmly intoned.
