At six on the dot, Rome drove into the parking lot of DreamTeam, and when he stopped the car engine, there was a gentle tap on the windshield.   Gazing at the window, Rome smiled and unlocked the car door. Then he waited for Catherine to get in the front seat before asking, "How long have you been waiting out here?"   "Just a couple of minutes after telling my driver to go home and that you would be picking me up," Catherine said, wearing her seatbelt.   Then she waited patiently for a couple of seconds for Rome to start the car, and when he didn't, she gazed at him.   In that instant, Rome looked into her eyes and said, "We need a safe word."   "What?" Catherine mumbled, trying to understand him.

It was quiet in the office as Rome pulled all his focus into the document before him, making sure he wasn't missing anything before proceeding to sign it.After Rome got to the final page, a buzzing noise took his attention off the sheet, and he looked at his phone, dropped his pen, and reached for it.The moment he answered the call, Catherine's soft voice echoed into his ear, "Hey, hon, your dad called. He said that he scheduled an appointment for this evening for our clothes fitting for the party, and...""He wants us to go." Rome interrupted, sighing as he rubbed his eyes."Is there a problem? Will you be busy?""No. I will make sure to finish up here early and then pick you up later." The sound of the office door suddenly opening drew Rome's gaze towards the doorway, and he stared at Braden, walking inside."I got to go. But how does picking you up by five sounds?" Rome uttered, not taking his focus off his secretary.

At five on the dot, Mr. Orlando brought the car to a stop in DreamTeam parking lot, and then he gazed at Rome in the V-mirror. But he was too focused on his phone to notice his stare. "Hey, hon. I'm so sorry. But I'm stuck in a meeting right now. Can you please wait in my office for a couple of minutes?" Rome silently read Catherine's text. Then he messaged her back, "Sure." Afterward, Rome gazed at K and said, "You don't need to come with me." Knowing that that was a command, K remained seated as Rome left the car and then gazed through the window as he walked into the building. A couple of seconds later, Rome entered Catherine's office, and immediately, his eyes grew cold as he screwed his face into a frown. "What are you doing here!?" Rome firmly asked while he stared at Charles, gazing at him with a smug smile on his face. "My dear cousin-in-law, how lovely it is to see you!" Charles said without losing his smile. "

There was an awkward silence in the atmosphere as all the guests focused solely on Catherine and Chloe, shocked by the sudden turn of events.The same dress that Catherine wore, down to every last bit of details of designs, was what Chloe had on, and Catherine found herself speechless as she stared at her cousin.'You must be kidding me!' Catherine thought, trying to process her feelings.Then she stared at Mr. Ford, and when she saw how mad he looked, she gently said, "I don't want tonight to get ruined because of my cousin, so how about we ignore this and move on with the night, please."Although Mr. Ford didn't respond, he decided to respect Catherine's decision and take a step back for the time being.The quietness in the hall lasted for a couple of minutes. Then whispers began to aroused among the guests.An elegantly dressed lady looked at her husband and mumbled, "I admire that dress so deeply the moment I laid my sight on Chloe Barlo

Realizing how badly she had messed up, Chloe felt anxious and a bit angry. However, she knew that she couldn't leave the party like that, not after the names she called Catherine in front of all those people. 'I can fix this! It's not too late yet.' Chloe thought, staring down at the floor. Feeling a bit shocked and yet, please, Rome leaned towards Catherine and whispered, "Remind me not to mess with you ever." As she tried not to laugh and keep a straight face, Catherine gave him a side-glance, slightly smiled, and mumbled, "Who's at fault for my behavior change?" Turning his head to face Catherine, Rome smirked and mumbled beneath his breath, "Guilty as charged." "Cousin, I'm sorry for what I said just now. I was so angry that you slapped me twice that I lost control of my sanity for a second and said those nonsense words." Chloe abruptly said with a look of nervousness in her eyes. "It's okay. As long as you learn to keep your hands
