***STUART'S MANSION*** Troy stood in front of his grandfather who was studying the file he had brought home, nervousness, and sweat evident in Troy's eyes with the hope that his grandfather sees this as a good sign and unfreeze his account. "Good good, I'm impressed, keep it up. These are things you should spend more of your time on and not play around with your friends always, by partying at every chance you get" Old Master Stuart sat down with his glasses on as he read the document.

"Hey" "What's up, I called to ask a question but I can't remember again" Arabella uttered as she bit her lips in annoyance at the fact that she had forgotten the reason why she called. "Ok, I'm waiting here till you remember," Mirabel said as she stood up to get a bottle of water from the fridge in the room.

Days ran into weeks and finally, the end of the month approached, Catherine walked into Steve's company majestically, her hair cascading down with pride and her low heels making sounds on the floor. "Good afternoon, ma'am" an employee greeted her and Catherine nodded in response. This was the type of life she wanted and wished for, whereby she would have people see her and address her with respect, and the only way this could happen is if she makes it into the Jim family. Catherine arrived at a door, opened it, and walked inside. Steve was there, standing close to the window as he stared outside. On hearing the door open and the sound of shoes that approached him, he turned around, and his gaze landed on Catherine who was looking at him with a smile.
