Chapter 17

***Kater's POV***

I get out from my spanish class feeling as if my life as being sucked the living hell of me.Since our little argument with that scumbag of handsomeness I never had a good night,I kept turning and turning thinking of what more he knows of my life,if he knows everything I do or I have to do.If he knew he could have broken a rule that he made himself he would have shut the hell up instead of bluffering thing he can't follow to come and think of it maybe he has broke the other rules me being a girl and following those stupid rules we agreed on,how dummy am I?

I rub my temple with two of my finger trying to relieve the headache thats about come,maybe he has even slept with another woman or women even that hussy princess Mia.I feel my hands grip my bag tighter thinking of what a facade this all has been to him. "Hey Kats watch where you are going.You were about to hit that girl" Cam warns me pulling me to her side snapping me out of my thoughts, "hey wassup with you? You have being gloomy the whole day" she asks worried and I shrug her off not wanting to this more of what was happening.

As we turned to the hallway,I see Jax making out with another girl who apparently isn't Melinda poor soul and how she boosted at me.I see him tighten his grip on that slut ass making her to let out a disarming moarn,his so gross.How did I even let him in bed? I thought my brain could function much better than to be with him but looks are deceiving even a spoilt milk is usually white thats why you can't figure out what is good or what is right without thinking straight.

"The sight of him makes my blood boil" Cam hisses looking at him with vicious eyes, "come on his not worth even a second of our time" I pull her along not wanting her to rip them out from their hot session makeout.I snort passing them,even the sight of him makes my stomach turn in a bad way,I see him smirk not breaking the kiss and giving me a side glance which is filled with mischeive as he continues to chung in his tongue into the poor souls throat, "jackface!" I mutter under my breathe looking away from them,if he thinks his making me feel jelous then his wrong because I have no ounce of any kind of feelings for him even hatred.

We head to the carteen buying some refreshments, "so what do you think I should give Zayn for his birthday present?" Cam questions drinking her red bull energy drink, "shit! I totally forgot about his birthday" I curse remembering his birthday is next week and am sure mum will take that opportunity to make us go see her. "Yeah of late your mind is somewhere else" she agrees and I just shot her a glare, "what? Am only talking the truth" she inquires and I just shake my head drinking my soda.

"Buy for him something unique,something he doesn't expect of you" I answer her ignoring our past conversation, "like what? Am so blank,he has everything I think of" she whines and I chuckle, "you will find something am sure of it even me I don't know what to get him" I tell sighing heavily trying to think what he would like,right a ticket to his best band but which one is his best band? Shit my mind is so congested,I should really take a break maybe a trip to Bahamas yeah right in my dreams with all the work I have here don't think I can travel.

"...what do you think of a wrist watch maybe to keep in travk because he is always late like you" she points out me finding her midway, "what can I say same genes" I tell her smiling sheepishly and letting the gas of this drink flow through my nostrils,I hate that feeling. "Lets go home people are starting to crowd over her" she tells me and I agree following her out of here.

*****

I rush through the crowded pathway finding my way to the elevator so I can't be late for the meeting,can't I be for once puntual in my life time and its as if everyone is a rush to get to there destination I guess am not the only one who can't keep truck of time and I have a watch for fucks sake.I bump into someone making both of our things to come tumbling down from our hands, "oh shit am really sorry" I apologise immediately trying to collect her things.

"You should check where your going next time" she says cooly not seeming to be bothered and I look at her face clearly from the commotion is happening here and find its Mia Black.She has her hair pulled up her black hair into a high ponytail,her face perfectly baked with the makeup and she's wearing an elegent creamson dress with a cheetah like fur coat while her eyes are briefly hidden with the dark shades she is wearing,there is no sun in here fucks sake.

"Am sorry,I wasn't paying any attetion to my surronding" I apologise again handing her her things and collecting mine,she gives some of the papers that flew a little bit far and offers me her priceless toothy smile, "its no problem everyone here is in a hurry too" she shrugs it off and I get a vibe she's very modest to people and not some hypocrite.

I smile a little arranging my files and check the time,fuck its only five minutes till the meeting begins, "am sorry again but I really have to go" I tell her adjusting my purse ready to take off, "are you going to the confrence room because am heading there?" She asks following my lead and I nod swiftly pressing the buttons impatiently,why can't this damn thing open.I check my watch impatiently tapping my foot restlessly until the elevator opens,we enter together her taking a phone call as we enter.

The elevator comes to a stop quickely and I rush out of there practiclly running to the confrence room,I reach there finding most of the people already settled including my asshole boss.I immediately shift my gaze elsewhere and see Marcos giving me his panty dropping smile as I give him a small smile making my way to an open seat which ofcourse is far away from Quinn.I see Mia make her way to a seat near Quinn and soon we start the meeting relieved I never come late.

The meeting soon comes to an end after half an hour talking about the companies downfalls and the upgrade that may occur in near future if we don't take certain measures.I felt my stomach becoming upset wanting some food in it, "hey Kater its always a pleasure to see you" Marcos greets taking my hand and brushing his soft lips on them,I blush slightly noticing that some people have notice his sweet gesture. "Um hi Marcos,I hope your not going to scold me for not talking to you because its you who isn't always available" I point out and he chuckles a little sitting next to me.

"I will let that pass because I changed my number had some few issues with the last one" he explains and I nod in understanding, "but you can give me your number now" he pushes on and I stretch my hand waiting for him to give his phone, "just give me your phone and I will type it, don't worry am not going to run away with it" I joke and he gives me his iphone,I type down my number in his phone and give it back to him, "here let me send you a text to know its my number" he says typing down something in his phones and immediatedly mine rings.

I take it out his unknown number flashing on the screen saying, 'you look radishing today mi amorè' I giggle from what he has texted and text back, 'you don't look bad yourself' and he flashes me a smirk, "why don't you say just tell me am a sexy hunk" he boosts and that makes me to laugh. "In your dreams mate" I tell him getting up and he chuckles. "Hey so I wanted to ask you if you have heard of the gala dinner happening tomorrow night?" He questions and I nod my head remembering how Chloe was blubbering about it.

I see him rub his back of his neck nervously and I look at him in awe he looks cute when does that, "whats wrong Marc? You don't mind if I call you that? Your name is too long and am getting tired" I tell him and he shrugs me off, "no problem I love it" he says and I smile, "okey wassup Marc?" I ask him again feeling someone staring at me,I look around to see whose fucking eyes as the audacity look at and I find his deep blue eyes looking at me with so much intense well more like Marcos,do they have some problem with each other? I shrug it off and look back at Marcos seeing as if his trying to say something but he can't find the words.

"Is something wrong? If there is anything troubling you can tell me" I reassure him squeezing his shoulder gently and he smiles, "actually there is no problem.I just wanted to ask you if you would be plus one to the gala?" He asks me and I look at him dumbfonded.Galas aren't really my things being my mother never showed us that kind of life,she usually goes by herself or with a date but she has never gotten us to go to tnose facade of a party,with the rich niggas all over us.

I look at him and see hope in his green eyes and I smile sweetly not wanting to reject the offer, "um sure I wii go with you" I answer him hesitantly and a toothy smile forms on his face has he engulfs me into tight hug and give me small peck on my cheek making to stand there surprised from his outburst.We hear a small commotion from behind us breaking us from the embrace he was giving me and look behind to see Mia asking for some towel to wipe Quinn's soaked shirt.How did that even happen? I question and see a bottle of water that has spilled on the table and Quinn looking at me as if he will murder me sometime now.Now what did I do to make him so fierce to me? Instead it should be me giving him a death glare instead of him.

I turn to Marcos and smile at him as he takes my hand, "so I will see you tomorrow in the evening?" He confirms and I nod my head, "I will send you the address" I tell him and he shakes his head, "I already know where you live remember that day I brought you from the club" he reminds me and that when it ring to my head the same very day I slept with Quinn, "ah yes okey see you then" I tell him ready to go and peck his cheek swiftly before waving at him and not missing the little pink tint on his cheeks,his a real gentleman unlike Quinn over there.I glance at him and I swear if looks can kill I could 6 feets under right now.

I make my way to my office dropping of the files and head to the reception to meet Chloe and have our lunch break, "Hey girlie,ready for some sushi or chicken wings kwa kwa" she says flipping her hands like a chicken making me to burst into a fit of laughter, "you look so chicken out" I tell her between my laugh and she shoots me a glare muttering very funny sarcastically and I laugh again making her to smile a little, "okey enough of the laughing what do we order chicken wings-" I interrupt her before she finishes trying to calm my laughter, "please don't finish that question because your gonner make me die out of laughter here" I tell her wiping my cheek from my tears and she rolls her eyes as we make our way to the diner close by.

"Okey how was the meeting, any charming men?" She asks licking her fingers from the chicken sause unfortunately she order chicken wings not being affected from my fun making her,I laugh a little remembering how she did with her arms as a chicken, "whats so funny?" She glares at me knowing exactly what am laughing about and I take a full spoon of my salad muffling my laughter, "nothing nothing and for your answer the meeting was just fine" I say answering her answer and she glares at me daring me to laugh again.

"Hey so I got a date for the gala dinner" I tell her knowing that will keep her mind off from killing me, "really who asked you?" She asks exicted by the change of topic, "um Marcos Laurent,I think you know him" I tell her and she chocks a little so I pass her some water, "thanks just surprised.You mean the Italian hot dude with the sexy accent?" She asks and I nod my head eating my rice, "aw you are one lucky lady,his really hot with his sexy accent and his panty dropping smile,oow I would do anything to be in your place" she says fanning her face dramatically slumping on her seat.

"Big fan?" I ask her and she immediately sit upstraight and nods her head, "well not more that our boss but his really spicy" she gushes over him and I try to bit back my laughter from what she has said. "So did you even meet because am sure it can't be only in the company?" She asks and I shrug her off, "we just met near the club and started chatting" I tell her and she squeals, "how romantic,is he the guy you banged with?" She asks and I immediately chock on my drink, "no ofcourse not,I told you I didn't know the guys name and no there is no romantic thing here we are only friends" I point out and she snorts, "does he know that? With a body like yours no man can think of being just your friend" she says and I glare at her, "I have guy friends like Brad,Mace" I list them out and she just gives me a knowing looking.

"By the way why did think of sounding like a chicken when you said chicken wings?" I ask changing the topic to her and she throws me one of her fries making me to bark out laugh, "oh just shush and stop trying to change the topic" she says making me to smirk, "you started with the questions" I hum and she rolls her finishing her food.

"So what are you going to wear? You do know that place will be filled with rich and powerful niggars" Chloe informs me as we make our way to the reception. "I am really freaking out to say the truth,I have never gone to such bullshit and am sure people there will act per their class" I tell her honestly,I know am not that well known because I have never wanted that even in my social media only my close friends know who my mother is and where am from. "Mmh it will be okey,am sure your mother will be there" she says and I try to smoothen the creases that are starting to form on my forehead, "lets hope everything will go well tommorow" I sigh and she gives me a small pat as goes through the appointments that have been booked.

"How are you Chloe?" I hear a someone greet Chloe from behind me and I turn seeing a middle aged woman wearing elegent clothes coming to Chloe,I raise an eyebrow to Chloe wondering who is this and she just shrugs me off. "Hi Mrs.Linch how was your day?" She asks wearing a big smile and I just stay there surprised,so this is Quinn's mother well they do have the same eyes. "It was fine my dear, is Quinn free?" She asks and Chloe nods, "yes he must have finished his lunch break so I guess he's in his office" she informs her and she nods sending me a small smile before taking off.

"Wow she's the bosses mother? She's beautiful" I tell her quite impressed with the woman's beauty, "yep and you haven't seen her daughter yet,she's older than Quinn with only a few years" she says and look at her shocked,thats a lot of information to take in. "Mr.Linch has an elder sister?" I ask her and she nods, "Yep which world do you live in" she says as if its obvious and I shoot her a glare.

"If he has an elder sister,why hasn't she taken over this business?" I ask and she shakes her head, "she has but in other countries,she comes here once in a while but have heard she's pregnant" she says in a hush voice and I try to process all the information that have just heard,I never knew anything about this hell I don't know anything about Quinn and here he is trying to dig up my life.

"Here is a photo of there family" she says showing me a picture on the computer and I see Jax first in his casual clothes with his charming smile,Quinn in an official wear with his bored expressionless face, with an not so old man next to him and a pitite young woman hanging an arm over his shoulder smiling widely and a teenage girl by Jax glaring at him will Mrs.Linch is holding onto the not so old man. "The petitte one hanging her hand over Mr.Linch is his older sister, Audery Linch" she says pointing to her.

"...and the man here next to Mrs.Linch is older Mr.Linch,Dimitry Linch and the girl here next to Jax is Quinn's younger sister, Calla Linch" she says and just stare to the perfect family am being shown, "he has a younger sister too?" I ask staring at the young beautiful girl,she has pink hair,a short frame and has body of a model, "yep the enthuastic one of the family" she says and I look closely to the photo.

The one Chloe said is called Audrey has black hair just like her mother and light green eyes like her father,she's looks quite joyous will Quinn has his bored face side glancing her, "the elder one,she looks as if they are quite close with the boss" I say it out loud and she nods,I look at there supposed father,he has some wrinkles forming in the corner of the eyes and he's holding tightly to his wife while she has a warm smile plastered to her face.Mr.Linch has brown hair with some grey hair and warm light green eyes with a small smile tugged on his face.

"Chloe may I know what is happening here?" Am being startled by a deep voice making me to jump a little and immediately turn off the computer and face him trying to calm myself.Quinn looks at me as if have been captured doing something bad and I glare at him not still happy for what he did behind my back, "Um I was just showing Kater some.." Chloe hesitates and immediately interject, "some documents that I was looking for" I tell him taking the nearest papers I can find and showing to him. "Mmh I see" he says looking at the paper amused and I look at the paper and see its a picture which Chloe was drawing.

I give her 'are you kidding me' look at she gives me a shy smile, "wrong papers" I say embarrased from my rediculous cover up and I see a hint of 'I know what you were doing' playing in his eyes.I compose myself and look away from him. "Sir your mother is waiting for you in your office" Chloe informs him saving me from the ackward moment and he nods still eyeing me before he leaves. "Phew! That was close" Chloe releases a sigh and I nod, "I better go or we will just get into more trouble" I tell going to the elevator still perplexed from the inform I just found out.
