The moment the conference door opened Elijah, Richard, and William turned their heads to the left, smiling at Catherine as she walked into the office.
"Haha, there's my dear niece!" William gaily said as he clapped his hand.
Keeping a straight face, Catherine walked up to the table and took her seat at the head of it.
Immediately, a frown crossed Charles's face because he realized that his cousin was still above him after all.
"Good morning, Uncle William, Elijah, and Richard." Catherine calmly uttered, resting her hands on the desk.
Then she clutched her fingers together, looked at Charles, and said, "Good morning, cousin."

I don't want to leave you all hanging and guessing. The truth is, updating this book has become slower because I'm stuck. "Living as a billionaire," is reaching the climax, and I have hit a bit of writer block. I do know the ending. But the problem is having to tie up all the loose ends so that I wouldn't leave you guys with questions and doubts in the end. I do plan to finish this book before the middle of next month, and I will have it updated by tomorrow. I like to inform you all on things, not as a way of making excuses, but so you all can be in the know since you guys are spending your hard earn money on my work. So far I have lost seven thousand readers, so believe me when I tell you all that I'm not withholding updates on purpose. When ideas aren't coming through, you can't force them. Anyways, the will definitely be an update tomorrow. Sincerely, Author Rever.
After reviewing the last document on his desk, Rome sluggishly dropped the pen on the files and rested back in his seat. Then he let out a sigh as he slightly loosened his tie, feeling a bit of tension in his neck. A couple of minutes when by in silence. Then his office door suddenly opened and K walked in with Scar. Remaining in his current position, Rome shut his eyes and asked, "What is it?" "Well, I found out where Grey Is." Scar said. It took a moment. Then Rome woke from his seat, grabbed his coat off the rack, and wore it. After shoving his phone into his coat pocket, he wa
"Please, turn off the light." Rome moaned, covering his head with the blanket as he folded himself into a ball.Frowning, Catherine tied the curtain and then approached the bed, pulling the sheet off Rome's head.With his eyelid squeezed shut, he whispered, "Babe, no...""Seriously, it is almost ten o'clock, and we both need to go to work," Catherine mumbled, frowning when he slowly opened one of his eyes to look at her.Hearing the annoyance in Catherine's tone, Rome grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed.Then he hugged onto her body tightly and mumbled, “Can we just stay home today?""Are you still upset about Grey not knowing who the puppets' master is?" Catherine softly intoned, gazing into his dull eyes."I have never felt so weak and vulnerable in my life before, and knowing that I have you mess up in all of this, is my biggest fear, not being able to keep you safe and shield you in it all...""Hon, you know
The door to the security room opened, and Thomas turned his gaze toward the doorway, swallowing hard as he stared at Rome, Brook, and Blaze.“Thomas, we need to have a chat,” Rome said, staring at the screens in the room for a moment.Then he walked over to a seat, sat down, and crossed his leg over the other while gazing Thomas dead in his eyes.“What do you want to talk to me about, sir?” Thomas mumbled, dragging his gaze to the floor.“I need to view the security footages of the hallway in the east wing from the day my wife's dress got brought into this house to the time of my father's welcome back party,” Rome said with his eyes still focus on Thomas.It immediately became silent between both men, and for a while, Thomas didn’t utter a word which made Rome a bit suspicious of him.“I’m really not in the mood to keep repeating myself, so can we speed this up, Thomas?” Rome coldly
Once Mr. Orlando had brought the car to a stop, K rushed out and opened the vehicle’s back door.“Thanks,” Rome said as he stepped out of the car.Then he waited for no one and headed directly into the enormous mansion before him.“Good day, young master.” Butler Hobson said as he gazed at Rome with a friendly smile on his face.“A pleasant day to you too,” Rome hastily replied before heading upstairs with K just a few steps behind him.When Rome got to a door at the west end of the hall, he paused for a moment, took in a deep breath, sigh, then knocked on the door.
After turning off her computer, Catherine gazed to the right and stared at Rome, sleeping on the couch in her office.Instantly, her lips curved into a smile, and she rested her chin, staring adorably at him as she mumbled, "Aww, he looks so cute in that position."For a while, she stayed like that, watching him without losing her bright smile, almost like she was falling in love with him all over again with every passing second.Finally, after a couple of minutes had gone by, she picked up her phone, stuffed it into her bag, and grabbed her coat off the rack.After wearing it, she approached the couch, squatted, and looked at Rome's closed eyelids."Hon, it's time to get going," Catherine mumbled, tapping Rome on his arm.When she gently hit his hand for the third time, Rome slowly raised his lashes, shifted his head to the left, and looked deep
The sound of the alarm clock forced Catherine to squeeze her eyelids before slowly raising her lashes. For a moment, she silently watched Rome fix his tie with a gentle smile on her lips. After he got done, he turned around to grab his coat off the couch, and then Rome stopped, gazing at Catherine for a couple of seconds before smiling as he mumbled, "You are awake." "Yeah," Catherine whispered, drawing the blanket off her. Then she walked toward Rome, grabbed his coat off the couch, and assisted him in wearing it. Once Catherine got done, she stroked her palms against his chest, and as she was about to draw her hands back, Rome gently grabbed her waist, looking deep into her eyes. "How about after Amara, and I get done with this Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, I pick you up from work, and we go on a date to any place of your choice?"
When the door to Catherine’s office opened, and Rome walked in with lawyer Lincoln a few steps behind him, Charles sneered and narrowed his eyes.Then he stood from his seat when Rome approached him and tapped Rome on the shoulder as he sarcastically said, "Aha, my dear cousin-in-law. I don't know why my cousin called you for whe..."Suddenly a loud cry rushed from Charles's lips when Rome grabbed his wrist and viciously twisted it."Cather... Aughhh!” Charles screamed as he stared into Rome's cold gaze. “Yeow!”Struggling against the anguish he felt, Charles stared at Catherine with wet eyes and yelled, “Owww!”"Do
