Daya waved excitedly at Kat with two big shopping bags as she stood by the entrance of GreCorps. Kat got off the turquoise blue camry and folded her arms. She had told Levi that she wouldn't be coming home for the weekend because she had to prepare her report for Valtara. There was no need telling him about Daya coming with her too. Kat had been caught between telling Levi about what happened with Iris or not. Telling him would make things awkward, who knew what he might do? He might decide to have Iris leave and that wouldn't spell good at all. Not telling him might cause problems for Levi and the project if she didn't do what Iris wanted. The rest of the week had been overwhelming. Iris had her eyes hawking at Kat, watching her move everytime she went in to Levi's office or whenever they were together. It was tiring. “How was your day Kat? “ she asked sweetly, flashing her with cute smiles. “What's wrong with you?” Kat teased as she collected one of the bags from her. “Did you

Spending the weekend away from the pressures of work and Iris was a breather for Kat. Rosa made sure she had her visiting restaurants, clubs and shopping. For the months Kat had been away, a lot had changed. Valtara, the café they usually went to for lunch, Rosa, Rowland and everyone at Valtara. Kat missed working there. She missed the comfort and the freedom of not having to worry about getting tangled with the boss or have her name plastered on the gossip of the week. She loved working with Levi - to be honest. But it was overwhelming at times, knowing they couldn't be too close to each other without having one or two said about them. It was enough that nobody knew that they were exes and knew each other before. Although things had changed between them, there was another problem to worry about - Iris was there. Kat pretended not to see Iris’ reminder messages. She was going to tell Levi when she saw him on Monday. Daya was in safe hands. Kat could see Rowland was doing a great j

Kat stood in the tiny kitchenette of the office, staring at the teapot as it whistled, the steam curling upward like a taunting reminder of the heat simmering in her life. The Jourdan project was more than just a job—it was her chance to make something significant, to prove herself. But now, Iris had stepped into the picture, weaving her cunning webs and threatening everything Kat and Levi had worked for. She had left everything at Valtara to focus on this project - the project that promised to shoot her career to the top. And she wasn't going to let Iris come and wash away those efforts for nothing. She poured the tea into two cups, her hands trembling slightly. This shouldn’t be hard. It was just a request—a simple date. But Kat knew better. It was a chess move, one Iris had forced her to make. And the piece in play was Levi, the man she loved. The man she had to protect at all costs. Iris had been making sure that Kat caught sight of her. She was unnecessarily kind and it was

It's not a bad thing. At least, that's what she had been telling herself for the past two hours as she watched Levi and Iris from the corner booth at the restaurant. Disguised in her oversized hoodie and glasses, she’d eaten two slices of cheesecake—okay, three—and slurped her iced coffee while glaring daggers at the back of Iris’s head. But now, standing in the living room, she was panicking. Levi was home. She peered nervously through the window as he walked up the driveway, a brown takeout bag swinging from his hand. He looked calm. Too calm. Did he know? Kat gasped. What if he knows?She bolted to the sofa and flopped down, grabbing the remote. The TV roared to life, blasting an old action movie. She hit “mute” so fast she almost sprained her thumb and pretended to be engrossed in the dramatic car chase. The door opened. Kat didn’t look up but felt his presence as he stepped inside. “Hey,” Levi said casually, locking the door behind him. “Hey!” Kat chirped, her voice slig

Outside Levi’s office, Kat wandered back to her desk, her thoughts swirling. Mr. Gallagher’s face kept popping into her head—the sharp lines of his jaw, the cold calculation in his eyes, and that too-perfect smile. Her hand brushed her pocket, and she paused, frowning. She hadn’t noticed it before, but something was there—a small, hard object pressing against the fabric. She reached in and pulled it out. Her heart skipped a beat. It was a tiny USB drive. Her stomach dropped. Where had that come from? Gallagher. The realization hit her like a freight train. He must have slipped it into her pocket when he’d bumped into her. But why? And what was on it? Kat’s first instinct was to march back into Levi’s office and tell him everything. But then she stopped. What if it was nothing? Or worse, what if it was a setup? If she brought this to Levi without knowing what it was, it could blow up in her face. She clenched her fist around the drive, her mind racing. 'What ar
