"Good Morning, Mr. Ricardo" Joseph moves forward to welcome him.
Catherine also greets him.
Alex glance towards Catherine who was busy reading some files.
"Mr. Joseph, is that contract is ready?"
Joseph thinks for a second and then he remembers what Alex is talking about. he smiles and nodded.
He calls his staff to bring it.
Catherine excuses her to bring coffee for them.
she was in the cafeteria making coffee that someone hug her from behind
she got shocked and scream.
then she heard laughter and she recognizes this laughing as she is hearing this laugh since her childhood.
"LILLYYYYYYYY"
"HAHAHA LOOK AT YOUR FACE"
"DAMN! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME"
"OH OH WHY? "
"UGH STOP IT MY MOOD IS ALREADY RUINED BY SOMEONE BTW WERE NOT YOU COMING TOMORROW?"
"I CHANGED MY PLAN BECAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME"
"IN YOUR DREAMS"
"OH IT HURTS, COME ON I COME EARLY JUST FOR YOU"
"UMM TBH I AM HAPPY THAT YOU ARE BACK"
"I KNOW RIGHT"
she winked while Catherine laugh. Lilly watch her making coffee
"WHY TWO MUGS, YOU DON'T LIKE DRINKING BLACK COFFEE"
"ONE FOR UNCLE AND ONE FOR JACK ASS"
"JACK ASS? WHO?"
"OF COURSE YOUR IDEAL THE MAFIA KING"
"OMG, YOU DON'T LIKE HIM?"
"NOT AT ALL AND YOU KNOW WHAT I DID TO HIM?"
"WHAT? TELL ME HURRY"
she told her all the story and she was shocked and then she laughs like a manic
"YOU DID THIS HAHAHA AND YOU IGNORE HIM"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE AT THIS YOUNG AGE "
"BUT THE QUESTION IS WHY HE WAS THERE AT OUR PLACE? AND I HAD NOTICE AT THE PARTY THAT HE WAS SHOWING INTEREST IN YOU"
"YOU THINK THAT TOO RIGHT? HE EVEN GIVES ME HIS CONTACT NUMBER"
"WHATTTTT!?"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS"
"OMG, BUT YOU ARE SO LUCKY HE NEVER SHOWED INTEREST IN ANY GIRL BEFORE THIS"
"OH GIRL YOU ARE SO INNOCENT HE SHOWED HIS INTEREST IN EVERY GIRL BEFORE. DON'T FORGET HE SPENT EVERY NIGHT WITH A DIFFERENT GIRL"
"MAYBE THIS IS A RUMOUR WE ARE NOT SURE"
"OH, REALLY YOU THINK YOUR MAFIA IS SOME KIND OF HOLY MAN? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I AM SURE THIS RUMOUR IS 100% TRUE"
"NO MY MAFIA IS SO COOL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE PROOF THEN PLEASE DON'T SPREAD RUMORS!"
"OH THEN YOU TELL ME WHY HE WAS DOING AT OUR PLACE AND DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE SHIT"
"YEAH THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT HE FALL IN LOVE SO EASILY WITH A GIRL WHO HE MET 2 TIMES"
"EXACTLY!"
"BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE THIS THAT HE GAVE YOU HIS NUMBER"
"HMM"
"MAYBE I AM HIS ENEMY DAUGHTER HE WANTS TO APPROACH ME BY USING YOU, CATHERINE"
"OH THAT'S POSSIBLE, AND HE CAN ALSO BE MY FATHER ENEMY"
"WELL THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE AND YOU KNOW WHY!"
"WELL I APPRECIATE YOUR GUESSING IT COULD BE EASIER IF YOU DIRECT ASK FROM ME"
Catherine and Lilly turned into stone after hearing the voice of Alexander from behind. both gulped and they don't dare to turn around.
"WELL, YOU CAN TURN AROUND NOW. I PROMISE I WILL KILL YOU"
Lilly and Catherine take a deep breath and turn around
HELLO SIR. I AM LILLY "
"HELLO LILLY NICE TO MEET YOU"
Alexander moves his hand to handshake her Lilly was already in her fantasy land after touching the hand of her ideal. Catherine sigh and pinch her free arm to come back from her la-la land.
"WHEN DID YOU ARRIVE HERE, SIR?"
indirectly her question was how much you heard
"WHEN YOU SAID THAT, " you think your mafia is some holy man" FROM THERE"
oh damn, he almost hears everything except that nightstand thing both sigh in relief
both laugh awkwardly. Lilly signal from her eyes to change the topic
Catherine catching her signal like a pro and nodded.
"SIR YOUR COFFEE IS READY."
"That's GOOD IT MUST HE VERY TASTY AS YOU SPENT YOUR PRECIOUS 30 MINUTES FOR MAKING THIS BLACK COFFEE"
Catherine laughs awkwardly at his sarcastic remark. in her mind, he was already dead from her hands.
"LET'S GO, SIR"
Alex nodded and Catherine followed him.
..........
Catherine did the overtime work so she was late. she messages Lilly that she will be at home in 30 minutes. she put her cell phone in her bag and take out her car keys but someone holds her hand and dragged her to the corner of the parking area and pushes her to the wall
she looks upwards and got shocked because Alex was staring at her with passionate eyes and different eyes.
He caged her between his arms. Catherine glup, sensing his body close, her body starts feeling hot. she gasped as she looks into his eyes
"LET ME GO"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME YESTERDAY"
"WHAT!?"
"I FORGOT"
Alexander press his body with hers she gasped and start pushing him
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING"
"I WANT YOU"
"WHAT?"
"I LOVE YOU"
He admitted suddenly his hands cupping her shoulders tightly her eyes went wide as she heard him say those words. his face starting coming closer she got terrified. she could feel hot breath against her face at the same time her mind click and she remembered how the scene is so similar to the morning one. but the difference is she was unaware.
she suddenly shivers to feel his warmth on her lips and then he said
"I want to taste these lips"
she looks at him but he was staring at her lips. her mind was blanked she didn't know what to do her body got stiffened she wanted to push him but his hand caught her behind her back and pressed his mouth to hers firmly then he moved one arm around her waist and pull her closer to him.
she got paralyzed by the sudden action.
