Cat looked up to find Claudia still standing in the doorway of Allison’s office. Hatred flashed at Cat from her cold eyes. Eric turned to follow the direction of Cat’s gaze.Claudia quickly concealed her expression, pinning a smile on her face. “Congratulations to you both. I’m sorry, Eric, but I really need to go over some things with you now and they can’t wait.” Giving him her 100-watt smile “I’m sure Cat can be without you for an hour, can’t you?” She directed the last part to Cat.Cat raised an eyebrow at her. The woman really had two faces. Cat said to Eric, “I’m fine honest, go.”“Yes, you go Eric. I’m going to take my soon to be daughter-in-law out to lunch. A long lunch so we can arrange this wedding.” Allison said, happily smiling at them both.“Ok,” standing up Eric said to Cat. “I know you took the bus this morning. You will wait for me. I will take you home. Be ready at 5pm.”Cat was about to argue when she saw the look on his face, so she just nodded. Eric kissed her fore

Two weeks later, Cat stood by Eric as they exchanged vows. It all felt unreal. Within two weeks, she had already moved into Eric’s penthouse apartment and, with the help of Allison, Dawn, and Jo, planned the wedding.True to his word, Eric had driven her down to Cowra to meet Cat’s foster parents. He had been old fashion even asking for their blessing and her hand in marriage from both Jack and Dawn. This extremely thrilled Dawn. Eric, being Eric, he had won them both over.Cat smirked as she remembered the look on Eric’s face when he discovered they had been assigned separate bedrooms during their overnight stay. Eric grumbled about booking them into a hotel. Cat had only laughed at him, telling him he could do without for one night.Jack had been so happy to be asked to give her away today. He had made her cry a little, telling her before walking her to meet Eric that he couldn’t have been prouder of the woman she had turned out to be.As Cat listened to the celebrant, she hoped she

Cat opened her eyes the next morning. Light was shining through the window. She was curled up against Eric’s side, her head resting on his chest. Eric had his arm wrapped around her and his legs intertwined with hers. Cat breathed in his manly scent.She couldn’t believe they had got married so quickly. She was now his wife. Laying a hand on her stomach. Their family was already growing in her belly.They had decided to have a honeymoon, just not yet. It was short notice for Eric to get away so suddenly, and he had meetings scheduled over the coming weeks. Jo was working on clearing two weeks in his calendar so they could escape.Unfortunately, Cat still had to deal with Claudia at work. One could only hope she would get a transfer or just decide to leave. Cat didn’t wish the woman harm. She just wanted her away from her and Eric. It made her uncomfortable that Eric still worked closely with the other woman. Just because he had broken things off with Claudia didn’t mean his feelings we

Cat stirred, blinking her eyes open. She was lying on her side with Eric curled around her back, his heavy arm resting around her middle and hand cupping her breast.Early morning light streamed through the window across the room, bathing them in its glow. Cat thought about yesterday and their trip home. She had tried again to explain her concerns about Claudia, how she would say nasty things to people and have unrealistic demands, without mentioning the things she had said and done to Cat personally. If she talked about them now after everything. It would just sound like jealousy on her part, because Eric had dated Claudia. When Eric still didn’t take her worries seriously. In the end, Cat told him out of frustration, she even believed the woman was acting like a stalker.At this point, Eric had laughed at her. He had an answer for everything, including Claudia, turning up at their apartment. Claudia explained her desire to ensure timely completion of the document because of its time-

The car atmosphere was tense the next morning. But during the ride, Eric reached over to grab one of her hands in his.“Everything will be ok.” Lifting her hand to his mouth then he kissed her palm, before laying her hand on his thigh.“There are some things we need to talk about and stuff I need to explain. I wished we had talked last night.”But she had locked him out. That was left unsaid. “I need to sort things out today, stay near the office, also keep your phone handy.” Holding her hand still on his thigh, only lifting his hand away to change gears. “Cat, I was really worried yesterday. I want nothing like that happening again.”Eric didn’t elaborate anymore as they arrived at the underground parking of Logan holdings inc. as Eric parked the car in his spot, he leaned over kissing her sweetly. It soon became heated after a few minutes. He pulled away.“I’m stopping now before security walk by and catches us. You know what gossip is like in an office building.” Eric said, breathin
