CAITLYN You're my partner until I say you're not.
Chapter 25Caitlyn stayed in the office even after all the workers had closed for the day and went home. Lawyer Bernard didn't return to the firm. The meeting didn't go well, so he had gone straight home afterward. Caitlyn didn't feel like leaving. She was hungry and exhausted from the day's work, but she preferred to make her hands and mind busy until night fell before going home. She concluded that she would be more than tired by the time she arrived at her house, that way, she would eat and go straight to sleep. Now and then, she heaved a sigh. She tried to deny how heartbroken she was, but it was quite an obvious fact. She felt abandoned. "He dumped me as one would do to a piece of used tissues," She muttered quietly to herself. "Such a coward he is." Her fingers began punching the keyboard a little harder as her anger brewed "Otherwise, he would have said straight to my face that our deal is over instead of being an..." In a loud voice that depicted anger and pain. "...assho
CAITLYN Missing him
chapter 26"You really won't tell me?" Caitlyn turned her neck to him. "I thought you were asleep already." Martin sat back up. "Asleep?" He got on his feet and stretched a little. "It's not my bedtime yet," He smiled. "I don't even have a bedtime," He added with a small chuckle. Caitlyn stood up and faced him fully. "I guess you're leaving now.""Well," He raised his right hand and checked his wristwatch. "Yes," He breathed out and dipped both of his hands into his trousers pocket as they both locked eyes. Caitlyn walked Martin to the front gate after a while. "Wait," She told him as he attempted to open the door to his car. He turned back to face her with a raised brow. She took quick steps towards him and stopped right in front of him. "I need to ask you something, Martin.""Hmm? Go on," He urged, crossing both arms over each other against his chest."Why were you so cold toward me earlier today?" She finally asked, rubbing her palms together while avoiding his gaze. Martin's
CAITLYN fight
Chapter 27It was a Saturday, and Caitlyn was at home. Bored and too lazy to cook, she lay curled up on her bed and shut her eyes.It was one of those days she wished she was at work. As she lay on her bed, she buried herself in deep thoughts; mostly that of her mother. She missed her mother greatly as the woman was the only family she had left. "Make some friends, Caitlyn. You need them," Her mother's words echoed in her head.She wished she had listened and befriended people. She was alone without a friend, family, or lover. Her neighbors weren't friendly so they never spoke except it was an important matter. She heaved a sigh and turned to the other side, her body still curled. "Was I cursed?" She wondered seriously. A lady of her age isn't meant to be as lonely as she was. Her 24th birthday was coming up. She knew that only lawyer Bernard would remember to wish her since her mother who used to be the first already died. Caitlyn sighed again and slowly sat up. "I miss you, mom,
CAITLYN can you come over to my company?
Chapter 28"She loves you, bro. She loves you so damn much," Herald said in between pants. Martin Sat on the floor, his hands wrapped around his folded legs. He was panting slightly too. "If she does, she wouldn't threaten me with that every time we have a little problem."Herald heaved a sigh. "You need to talk to her about that.""I'm taking legal actions already. I only have a few things left to do and she wouldn't have that power anymore."Herald's broken lips managed to form a smile. "I'm sorry for what happened, earlier," He muttered an apology after a moment of silence. Martin stood on his feet without a word. He looked down at his brother. "Come on," He stretched his right hand to him. Herald looked up at him and quickly took his hand. He helped his brother up and took him inside. "I'll go get the kit," He told him before walking away. ... "Good morning!" Caitlyn greeted cheerfully as she walked to her office. A minute after she settled down, a call from Martin came in.S
CAITLYN will you help me?
Chapter 29"Sit," He said and pointed to one of the chairs opposite his. Caitlyn took her seat quietly. "Coffee?" He asked after taking his seat. Caitlyn shook her head negatively."Why did you ask for me to come here?" Caitlyn voiced out the question in her head."Well," Martin started, scratching the back of his neck nervously. "We've become pretty much close. I visit your home and even call your phone. It's not something I do with any lady.""Right. From the little I know, it's very unlike you," Caitlyn concurred with a small chuckle."Right. For two days, I've been thinking of the right way to ask you this. I'm unsure of how you'd take it."Caitlyn maintained a calm and focused expression even though her heart was thumping hard against her chest. 'Where's he driving to? Is he trying to ask me out?' She wondered. She could feel her raising heart in her throat. She swallowed. "Go ahead and ask.""Well, I don't have groceries anymore and I'm too busy to go to a grocery store to rest
CAITLYN Grocery shopping
Chapter 30"Can I come in?" Kate asked her"Sure! Please, " Caitlyn responded and opened the door wider. "Your apartment is so warm! I love it," She commended as she looked around Caitlyn's room. Caitlyn smiled and drew out the chair facing her dressing table. "Take your seat," She told her, pointing to the single chair in the room. "Isn't yours like this?""Well, yeah. Not exactly, though. I just have a bed and my clothes in it. I recently left my parents' home to start my independent life," Kate replied with a small chuckle. "It truly can be quite hard at the start. I left mine a few years ago and I kid you not, it was crazy.""You're right. I only have a few bucks left as we speak. I might visit them for groceries next week," She said and laughed. Caitlyn smiled. "You should. They'd be happy to help.""I'm checking around for a job. I just need them to cover me until then.""What type of job are you looking for?""Honestly, I'm going to take anyone that comes with good pay.""W
CAITLYN Is he your boyfriend?
Chapter 31"Wow!" Caitlyn breathe out as she walked into Martin's home after he did. "It's so beautiful!" She complimented, her eyes roaming around. "...and huge!" She added. Martin couldn't help but smile. "C'mon, let's go to the kitchen. Help me with the bags," He said and began walking away, carrying four bags- two in each hand. Caitlyn hurriedly picked up the three bags she brought in and followed him, her eyes still wandering about. A heavy breath escaped her throat as they entered the kitchen. "Do you live here alone?" She blurted out, unable to keep the question in. The house looked too big for one person. "Well, not really. My gatekeeper and I share the building," He answered, placing the bags on the large table in the middle. "How?" Caitlyn muttered before trailing off. She thought the house was too big for just him. "What do you mean how?" Martin asked with a raised brow. He started bringing out the items in the bags one after the other, while Caitlyn still stood with
CAITLYN The Greys
Chapter 32"Good morning, sir," Caitlyn stood up and greeted as lawyer Bernard walked into her office. "Get ready. There's somewhere we need to be in two minutes," He told her and turned to walk out immediately, ignoring her greeting. She knew something was amiss. Perhaps, a serious case to be handled by them. She couldn't point it out, but she knew already that the day would be a busy one. She hurriedly checked her bag to see if every necessary item was in it. After confirming, she picked up her phone from the desk, hung her bag over her shoulder, and quickly walked out of her office. She met her boss standing beside his office and they both walked out of the building together."Take us to the Greys," He told his driver when they were in the car. Caitlyn tilted her head to face him. "The Greys? Why are we going there, sir?"They had handled a case for that family in the previous year and Caitlyn regretted it. They were a powerful family with so many enemies who were prepared to sh
