November 6,
It's been three days since the Welco Ho Party and Katherine was already starting to adjust to the new life as the heiress Katherine Young. She thought that it was going to be difficult playing 'Katherine Young', but the only difficult thing so far was having to et Damien when she least expected it. She had been telling him that she wasn't ready to have a conversation with him yet and eting him unintentionally had been really tough for her.
Last night she even got to see Frederick Park and she almost lost her cool. It's a given that she should be prepared for the unexpected but when things play with your emotions and get all personal, no one is ever ready.
So this morning when she woke up, she told herself that as long as she could survive the day without having to bump into people that she had to avoid, she'd be good. There were still lots of things to do at Young Corporation. She needed to bring her A-ga.
She didn't know where Michael Price was actually taking her along with a couple of other people in the team because he didn't ntion it last night. But since they were going out that day, she opted to wear sothing more comfortable all in beige, she wore a textured pant-suit, thick turtleneck fitted blouse, and a woolen coat over her shoulders.
When she checked the ti, it was already seven in the morning. She rushed out, quickly grabbed her things and passed by Styles who was still eating breakfast at the dining table. Alia was already out very early that day and Katherine had not been able to talk to her yet because of how busy they were with their agenda. She made a ntal note to catch her in the evening when she cos back ho.
Upon arriving outside, Katherine was thankful that she caught a cab right away. She had to get a car soon if she wanted to move around easily. She did have a car and a motorbike but she didn't dare bring it with her when they moved to Golden Phoenix because the ones she owned were what 'Queen from Shadow' loved to use and not the 'Katherine Young' she's supposed to be playing. There was too much to do yet so little ti.
Arriving at Young Corporation's building, she hadn't even walked several steps towards the building when a man's voice called her from the side.
"Ms. Young!" Michael Price raised a hand to catch her attention as he leaned on his car. There were two other employees next to him who also waved.
Katherine put on a polite smile and approached them. She was made to sit in the front passenger seat of the white Chevrolet Malibu and she realized that among the n that she t in Harbor City, Michael was the simplest. He wasn't pretentious, he didn't have an attitude, and he was like a breath of fresh air among the rich heirs surrounding her. She wondered if she could trust him.
"Where are we going?" Katherine asked a few minutes into their travel.
"Not far. Just a few more blocks away," Michael answered.
She figured that she could check her emails and maybe send her grandfather so texts. Katherine was busy on her phone and did not realize where they were heading until they ca to a full stop in a parking lot in front of a building. Putting her phone inside her bag, she looked up and her eyes grew so wide.
"What are we doing here?" she questioned as they got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of Crown Resort Group's office building.
"We're going to submit the application for the contract bidding. We have also been scheduled for an interview today to go over so specific details that they requireah, it slipped my mind I've been so busy... You did work here months ago, isn't that right, Katherine?" Michael probed as they approached the lobby.
"Yes, I did," she gulped. What was going on? Why did she keep on finding herself in these situations? Was the heavens tripping on her?
When they entered the lobby of the huge building, it took a few seconds for people to notice Katherine who arrived with the group. They began to whisper to each other, watching her as she walked across the lobby.
"You seem to be famous around here. Are you going to see your friends while we're here?" he asked.
"I don't have friends here," she said dismissively but corrected herself, "I an I only have a few friends here."
Arriving in front of the receptionist, Michael imdiately spoke, "Hi, we're here to"
"Oh, my god, Ms. Katherine?" the receptionist gasped.
"Hi, Jenny" she smiled.
Jenny was one of the few people whom Katherine was friendly with in the company. She had a huge smile on her face, excited to see Katherine after hearing the news about her.
"We haven't seen you in a long ti! Are you here to visit the President? I will call Markus right away" Jenny began to dial a phone line when Katherine stopped her.
"Oh, no, Jenny. Actually we're here for the contractor bidding interview. We're representing Young Corporation."
"Ah I see Okay. I'll inform them that you're here. You may proceed to the tenth floor's eting room. You already know the way, right, Ms. Katherine?" Jenny winked at her, gesturing towards the elevator at the sa ti that an employee led them the way.
When Katherine's group was gone, Jenny imdiately phoned Caleb and then Markus, a bright smile dancing on her face when she imagined that the Big Boss would praise her for the initiative. She wasn't blind. When Katherine was still working in their company, she knew that there was sothing going on between her and their CEO. Contrary to so employees who said nothing but an things about Katherine, Jenny was actually one of the few who rooted for her.
Now that Katherine was in Damien Park's territory, what was she going to do when she faces him again? Four days in a row one to go and she could already win BINGO. Will she call this a misfortune or a sign of good luck?
