CAITLYN

A man dressed in a blue and black uniform stood at the widely opened gate; Caitlyn guessed the man was his gatekeeper. Immediately the gate opened, he ignited his car's engine and moved his car with such force that Caitlyn fell to the floor, again.“I'm sorry, sir! I'm so sorry,” she watched his gatekeeper apologise while bowing. He ignored the man and simply drove in. Caitlyn rushed over to the gatekeeper. “Can you let me in, please?” she pleaded shamelessly with a smile.As he opened his mouth to give her a reply, his boss shouted, "If she steps a foot into this compound, consider yourself jobless, Mr Dalton.”She shifted her gaze to him. 'Why's he so cold?' She wondered. A hand gripped her left arm firmly. “What are you doing?” she asked the gatekeeper who had gripped her arm, wide eyed.He gave her no reply. Instead, he began pulling her away. Caitlyn struggled to free her arm, all to no avail. As soon as they were a little distance away from the gate, he stopped and released his

"We meet again, Mr handsome," Caitlyn smiled and stopped in front of him. Martin sighed and made to walk away. "Mr Bernard isn't in at the momen," She informed him, and he paused."Let's leave, then," Martin said to his secretary."Sir, it was really hard to secure an appointment with him. If we leave now, we won't be able to get to him till the next three or four weeks," His secretary whispered to his hearing and hers alone. A small groan escaped his throat. "You both can wait in my office. He will be here in an hour or less," Caitlyn offered."Yes." "No." Martin and his secretary answered simultaneously. His secretary gave him an apologetic look. He cleared his throat and faced Caitlyn. "We will rather wait in my car," He told her."If you do that, you wouldn't be seeing him today. I'm his right hand. The person after him. I could put in words for you to enable the meeting hold today, if you want me to. Otherwise, I'll return to my office," Caitlyn voiced out with her usual smile.

Chapter 3"Mr. Martin, you might have to pardon her. Please," the doctor walked into the ward with his hands folded behind him. Martin turned immediately."For what reason? I do not want my mother to get uncomfortable, most especially by this woman!" He pointed to Caitlyn, his eyes opened widely.The doctor sighed and briefly adjusted his glasses. He hesitated a bit before he spoke. "This woman just lost her mother to a horrible accident. She went into shock. We're worried about how the state of her mental health would be once she wakes up, " the doctor stared at Caitlyn pitifully."How is that any of my concern? Do you think she is more important than my mother?"Herald shifted closer to his brother and whispered into his ear, "show some pity, brother." Martin turned to him and gave him a cold glare. Herald fearfully moved away."She must leave this room, or you move my mother to a better one before I return," he declared and stormed out.Herald sighed and turned to the doctor. "Move

Chapter 8Caitlyn blinked rapidly. "I don't know what to say.""Your phone. Can I have your phone? " Martin sighed and spoke after a while. She slowly brought it out from her back pocket and stretched it to him.He collected it and dialed his number. He stopped the call on the first ring and stretched the phone back to her."Save it. I'll call you in two days. I want a reply then, " He told her. She was unable to speak. He dipped his hands into his coat pockets and walked away. She turned and watched him till he walked out of the hall. "Wow! " She breathed out."Martin king wants me as his partner!" She squealed and giggled, cupping her face with both palms.... Martin drove into his compound and went straight to his bedroom after parking his car. He took off his coat and flung it to his bed. Then, he took off his shoes and placed them in the position he took them out from. He stretched and headed to the kitchen. As he opened the fridge in the kitchen, he heaved a sigh. "I need

Chapter 10The ride home was quiet.Caitlyn got down from the car after it stopped in front of her house. She opened the door to the backseat and took out the bags. "Thank you," She said to him. He nodded in reply and immediately drove away."He could have at least helped me with my bags. So arrogant!" She murmured to herself as she carried the bags; two in each hand. She opened the gate to her house after so much struggle.When she got to her front door, it was another struggle to find her keys. She attempted to search her bag with the bags of clothes in her hands. After wasting two minutes trying to open her bag, she eventually dropped the bags in her right hand with a tired sigh.With her free hand, she opened her bag and searched through it for the small purse where she kept her keys. She dropped the bags in her second hand when she suddenly couldn't find the purse. "Did I take it out at the store?" She asked herself and began to empty her bag on the floor. It took a while befor
