She left immediately it reach closing hour.I hope all is okay with her.I took a taxi home that evening.When I got home, I met Lora and Lizzy in the sitting room.

"Not that there was ever a day you come home looking less tired.""I was at work, Lora." I pointed it to her, I relaxed my head on the edge of the chair.Lizzy scoffed. "What do you want to eat?""We could order pizza." Lora suggested.I shook my head. "I will eat whatever is at home."Lizzy grinned widely. "Really?"I raised my head.

Kathleen pov"So you ot going to try the spaghetti and fried shrimps Lizzy made for dinner?" Lora asked. I shook my head. "Am good with the ice cream and pizza." "Okay if you say so." Lora took her phone and began texting. "So you're not going to eat what I prepare for dinner?" Lizzy asked Lora on seeing what she was doing with her food. "Ohh I ate what you made but I am craving Chinese." Lora said. "Ohh now that you mention that, order for two then." Lizzy said. I smiled. "So you're not eating what you cooked?" "No I have had enough, it a little bit salty and the shrimp are......""Salty." Lora completed Lizzy's statement. I chuckled. "That would taste really good." "Sure it did, really salty." Lora said as her eyes were still stuck on her phone screen. "It wasn't that bad, I eat it and it was as bad as Lora described it." Lizzy explained. "Hmm." I nodded and shove another spoonful into my mouth. "This taste really good, it being a while since I had ice-cream." I said. "
Kathleen pov"Enough guys." Lora said, her tone wasn't obviously harsh but it did sound like that. "I have had enough of derek name for tonight and I am okay with that.""Then I will stop talking." Lizzy gave up and focus more on her food.Lora rolled her eyes and dropped her food on the table. "Okay we should make deal, Kath.""Hmm." I dropped the spoon that was half to my mouth. "Deal?"She nodded. "I will go with Derek and probably give him a chance if you agree to have a birthday party.

Jason pov When I open my office door, I met Kathleen and Derek in my office. They were the last people I wanted to see this morning. I know Kathleen wasn't preventable. "What going on here?" "Good morning, Mr knight." Kathleen said. "Hey dick head." Derek greeted. I ignored both our greeting and walked to my chair. "I made you coffee." Kathleen informed. I glanced at the coffee. "Leave us, Ms snow." She turned and left my office. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Derek snapped as he stood up with the cup 9f coffee in his hand. What wrong with him?I stared at him confusingly. "Do you have any idea how worried I was, even Kathleen was?" "You were? "Yeah I was but I didn't want Kathleen knowing that. I stayed calm when I came and I didn't see you in your office. Thanks for Kathleen coffee, it worked a little." I stared at the coffee. "It did?" "Stop acting oblivion." Derek snapped. "Why are you yelling?" Derek asked. "Don't ask me that, Jason?" I raised my brow. "Why
Kathleen povI leaned back on my chairs after three hours of typing on my laptop keyboard. I had to review some reports before lunch.I finished it on time for lunch, I wasn't going to miss lunch today.My phone beeped.I picked it up and saw a text message from Lydia."Right on time." I murmured and texted her back.I dropped my phone on the desk and went ahead to send the reviewed report to Jason email.He was in his office with Derek, so I guess he wasn't coming out for lunch.He hardly go out for lunch."Well I quite starving." I said as I stood up. I stretched a little and picked up my phone."I am craving donuts." i thought.I smiled. I should probably grab donuts on my way home.I walked out of my office to the elevator.As I came out of the elevator, I met Lydia. She waved at seeing me. She was holding a small box at her right hand. I smiled and walked to her. "Hey Lydia."She smiled. "Nice to see you, Kathleen." she tugged my hand. "I brought some glazed donuts for you, Kath
Jason pov "So Tony dated Kathleen for five years, and when his parent brought the deal of getting married to your cousin, he dumbed her and went ahead to get married to your cousin." He nodded and crossed his hands. "Now why the fuck is he here?""He is down the first floor so you can go ask him yourself." I replied rambling through some papers on my desk."Yeah I will if I could." I gave a deep sigh. "Getting you to tell me all this has made me hungry."I scoffed."So which restaurant are we heading to?" Derek asked as he brought out this phone."You can go ahead without me.""You're not having lunch? Why?"I glanced at him. "The meeting would be in two hours so be fast with whatever your doing.""Okay let have lunch here in you office. What do you want to eat?" I asked.I tossed a glare at his side and went on with the reporters. I got the email from Kathleen."I will just order burger and pizza for the both of us." Derek said."I didn't say I was eating." I said taking the iPad Kat
Kathleen pov"Hmm this is strange." I murmured as I kept on staring at my phone screen."What?" Lydia leaned across the desk to see what I was looking at.I pointed my phone screen to her."Hmm, I guess you're lucky today." She said and went back to her position. "You should go ahead and have fun. Today is your today.""I know but it usually. This is the first time having to leave work early today.""I know." She shieved a sigh. "I wish I can get that too.""Hmm. Should I go to him and comfirm it or......""You think it was a mistake?"I nodded. "Yeah I mean he wouldn't tell me to leave even if there wasn't anything to do.""He sent the message from his phone so do you think he would have sent it mistakenly. He could have his reason for telling you to leave so why can't you just accept the one good thing that has happened to you in this company."I smiled. "Yeah I have a lot of stuff I want if I get out of work early in the morning.""I know you do." She grinned. "Is one of them looki
Jason povSince I told Airel that she won't be joining us for the meeting, it has being one hour of silent and anger.Not that I care if she was angry. She wasn't going to join us for the meetings and I am not talking my words back.She sat down quietly on the couch, holding a bottle of whisky and a tumbler."You should have taken my offer trying out the pizza, than drinking." Derek said.I was going through some reports on the guest for the meetings.Among the guest, there stood my most wanted enemy but who?I went through each files filled with their details and everything I got from their movement, I couldn't get what I was looking for.They all stayed low knowing I was watching their movements.It being five years now and I haven't gotten anything on them. Not even the men who assaulted Ariel and left her to die.They all vanished in thin air"Jason!" Derek called bringing me back from my thoughts into the reality that I have to deal with the both of them in my office."Yeah I am l
