"No, Mr Castell. It's alright. I can eat at home," Kathleen declined his offer.
"What do you mean? It's almost nine now. We should eat now," Aaron insisted.
"Then you should just continue eating your food here, Mr Castell. You haven't eaten much of your food yet. It would be a waste if you order a new meal," Kathleen suggested for them to just eat the food ordered previously.
"What about you then?"
"I can just eat Sara's..."
"No no no... I won't let you eat Sara's leftovers. Let's buy a new meal," Aaron was almost dumbfounded hearing Kathleen said that.
He dragged her gently out of the room and went to the private room next door. A waiter was summoned and took their order immediately. Fifteen minutes later, another set of meals arrived and was served on their table.
'I thought I just need to ruin his blind date and go home. How come I ended up having a date with him instead?' Kathleen was truly dumbfounded internally. She stare
"No, it can't be. My boss is not this p*rverted," Kathleen said and shut her eyes again. "Excuse me?" Aaron could feel his pride hurt a little by what she said. 'P*rverted? How brazen...' he muttered and released himself from her. He went to sit at the edge of the bed. His head slowly turned around looking at the woman who was lying silently on his bed right now. Somehow, she looked pitiful that night. "You still can't get over Rodney yet? What's so good about him?" He asked her loudly as if she was sane enough to talk right now. He didn't know why he felt so jealous hearing her calling her ex's name when she was drunk. "You said that I'm your first on bed. Why aren't you calling my name right now?" He sounded like a jealous husband. After a while, he realized that he was acting ridiculous. "What am I doing here acting like a psychopath?" He mumbled to himself and laughed. "Why is it so hot?" Kathleen suddenly spoke. She felt s
"And?" Kathleen was tense having to wait for him to continue his words."You thought I was Rodney and...""Spit it out! Quick!" Kathleen shrieked and hit his shoulder as a reflex of her frustration."Ouch..." Aaron gave out a low cry but then chuckled when he saw her annoyed gaze."What did you say? Spit it out? Is that a way to talk to your boss?" Aaron teased her."Forget it," Kathleen mumbled slowly and turned her head away from him, looking out of the car window like a sullen person."Oh, come on. Don't be such a crybaby. I'll tell you what happened last night," Aaron said. The woman quickly turned to look at him again."Last night, you thought I was Rodney and you hugged my neck tightly and won't let me go," he glanced and grinned at her.Once again, Kathleen felt highly mortified. 'What the hell is wrong with me? How could I act so indecent?' Her inside was filled with embarrassment."Did I do anything else apart f
"Is there anything that you need me to do, Mr Thompson?" Kathleen asked since that guy was staring at her nonstop as if he has something to say."Oh, no. Not in the moment. Well then..." he replied with a smile. Then he went into the Chairman's office to meet Aaron.Kathleen followed him from behind soon after while carrying the tray that contained the coffee she made for Aaron and slipped the company daily report file under her armpit.As soon as Aaron saw Kathleen enter his office, he gave her a meaningful smile. Kathleen noticed it, but she ignored him and swiftly went forward to his desk and served his coffee and the macaron snacks. Then she passed the report file to him.Aaron took the file while looking at her neck, checking if she was wearing his gift or not. Seeing the Swarovski crystal necklace hanging around her delicate fair skin, he felt satisfied inside.He got into trouble getting that necklace for her yesterday. The female shop assis
"I'm out," Ryan said, backing away, didn't have the intention to answer Aaron's question. He stood up immediately and headed to the door."Good great thank you, God... please leave," Aaron mocked him scornfully.Ryan sneered at him as a response before he exited Aaron's office and closed the door behind him. If people didn't know them, they would probably think that the two were nemeses. Yet the truth was, both Aaron and Ryan were childhood friends. They grew up together and went to the same school until college. It was kind of their habit to talk harshly with each other.As Ryan passed in front of Kathleen's desk, he heard the voice of Aaron coming out from the office intercom."Kathleen, my dear... can you come in for a while, honey?"Kathleen froze in embarrassment as Ryan was standing right in front of her, hearing that flirtatious voice of Aaron from the intercom. She chuckled instantly to avoid that awkward situation."I'm sorry, Mr Th
Kathleen gasped at the sight of the diamond ring. The ring was just that tiny probably suitable to be made as an engagement ring. It was a weird offer. Why would he even want to offer her a ring as a reward if she helps him with such a small matter? Yet, being a woman, she couldn't help but feel tempted by it.'Gosh... five thousand dollars ring? That was like a month's salary for me,' she mumbled internally with her eyes couldn't stop staring at the sparkling diamond ring."Let's see if it fits you," Aaron said and took out the ring and shoved it into the fourth finger of her left hand.Kathleen was bewildered and didn't get the chance to avoid his action. The ring entered her finger and strangely, it fitted perfectly."Oh, look! It fitted perfectly. It would be such a waste if you don't want this, don't you think? I might just give it to another employee later," he pressurized her a bit.He pulled off the ring from her finger and put it inside th
It felt like his heart got a pang by her words, but Aaron only scoffed at her."It's quite unfair. I gave you three gifts today. A flower bouquet, a necklace and you're going to get a diamond ring later. But you give me none," he said like a sulky person."But you said the gifts were not for Valentine's Day. The flower and the necklace were to thank me for helping you ruin your date with Sara Anderson before and also as an apology for making me drunk that night. As for the ring, you offer that to me in return for helping you get rid of Miss Donna Taylors," Kathleen reminded him again."I know... But don't you think it's too much for me to give you all that expensive stuff only for you to help me settle some small matters?"Kathleen was truly dumbfounded by his question. 'I never asked you to give me all that,' she grumbled her dissatisfaction internally. She scoffed and slowly exhaled as if trying to release the negative energy that filling up her heart r
"My company was not just born yesterday, Liam. I knew what the Campbell are going after. Let me get this clear to you, so you don't need to waste your time coming to my company again. I will never let Campbell Corporation own or even have the chance to get my microchip. I will make sure your company would never be able to use my microchip technology. Just stick with your company's current productions. Don't even think about expanding your market to the electronic industry," Aaron said rudely to him and simply walked away.Kathleen followed her boss and gazed down, avoiding looking at Liam. They exited the entrance door and crossed the road in front of the company building. There was a huge luxurious mall there called Euphoria Emporium.As they entered the mall, Kathleen gasped in disbelief. It was the first time she went there. She never dared to step foot inside that mall before, despite it being located just in front of the Aeroxx Corporation building. It was because
'This doesn't feel right,' Kathleen was uncomfortable. But she just followed his lead and opened her mouth. He carefully fed her the cake. He even took a napkin and wiped the cake cream that stained the corner of her lips. Kathleen felt like he was feeding her like a baby. "Now your turn. Try feeding me the cake," he instructed her. She quickly did the same as he did to her before. 'I swear to God, if he doesn't give me the diamond ring after this, I'm going to choke this guy using his necktie,' Kathleen mumbled some malicious thought inside her mind. "Kathleen..." he suddenly called her out softly. She focused her eyes on him as she already facing him right now. "I love you," he said with a charming voice. His eyes looked deeply into hers and Kathleen felt like she got bewitched by him. She could even feel her heart skip a beat when he said those three magical words to her. His head suddenly leaned closer to her. He tilted it a bit an
