The billionaires proposal

Kate sighed as she walked out of the company gate. After all her nasty adventures that morning, she was still disappointed and to think this is the third time this week she was being rejected.    She had woken up early today to prepare for the interview but at the moment she felt dejected.      "Kate, Kate, kate....."   She turned abruptly to the direction of the voice and exclaimed in delight as she beheld the sight of the owner.    "Oh Emilia, how have you been?" She asked excitedly.     Having been best friends in high school, they parted ways immediately after graduation. Emilia was the daughter of a senator while she was just a mere orphan living with her aunt. Their friendship had always been a blessing to her.    "Where on earth have u been?" Emilia snarled.    " No questions for now Emilia, let's enjoy this short beautiful moment."   "You haven't changed a bit Katy" Emilia chuckled.     "Of course not mademosielle, the earth is yet to rotate and besides I've changed or at least am not longer delusional" Kate snarled.       " so where are you working now Katy, I could come visit you at work someday.       Emilia noticed the abrupt change in Kate's demeanor. Her face has suddenly grown pale and Emilia was startled.   " what's wrong honey, any butt that needs kicking?     Kate tried cheering up but her pallid face said a lot.     "No, it's nothing Emilia, don't worry about it."     "Am not moving anywhere till you tell me what's going on and I won't hesitate to bug you until you spill" Emilia pestered.    Kate exhaled and spoke.    "I've just had issues getting a job this past few weeks after I was fired from my previous company. The most annoying thing is that they don't seem to say what's wrong with my cv. They just reject me without even an interview. Am seriously tired of all this Emilia."    "Am sorry honey, I truly am. If I had known you were having issues finding a job I should have tracked you down months ago" Emilia stated truly.     "But I think I can help, what's your major?"   "Interior decor". Kate answered.     "Perfect" Emilia whimpered.    "You remember Brandon right, my older brother".      How could Kate ever forget Brandon. The Prince Charming everyone fell head over heels for in high school. His black curly hair, deep blue eyes and muscular stature made him quite outstanding. They met a few times but Kate doubted if he gave her a second glance. She couldn't help but wonder what he would look like after this many years.    " okay Katy, I'm gonna talk to Brandon about you and get him to go through your cv, he owns his own architectural and interior decor company so it's gonna be quite an easy task.   They made plans to meet up the next morning to talk about getting her a job since Emilia was getting late for her meeting.     Kate staggered home silently hoping for a miracle. She was gradually running out of money and supplies.   After a quick hot bath she was ready to succumb to the hands of  sleep but her phone began to ring.    "Hello...   "Yes am I speaking with Kate Anderson?" The caller said.   " yes may I help you". Kate replied.   " sorry to inform you but your aunt has been rushed into the hospital few minutes ago and has instructed us to call you, we could appreciate it if you rushed down here immediately."   Blood drained off Kate body. She threw in a random jeans and T- shirt and ran out of the apartment.     She hailed down a taxi and immediately began to say a silent prayer.     God help her , she wasn't about to lose the sweetest lady in the planet.      She was instructed to wait in the lobby when she arrived the hospital. The nurse she saw at the reception only managed to raise her blood pressure by telling her that her aunt was in surgery.     After two hours of pacing round the lobby a doctor appeared.    "Are you miss Kate Anderson?"   " yes please tell me my aunt is okay" she rambled.    " am sorry miss Anderson but your aunt was very weak when she was brought in and we couldn't do anything to save her, am sorry but we lost her".    Her world stopped that moment. It sounded like a nuclear bomb in her ear and the last thing she heard before she collapsed were her screams of terror.      When she woke up, she couldn't quite figure out what had happened until she checked her surroundings, she was still in the hospital.   Picking up every last of her belonging, she walked dejectedly out of the hospital. She didn't even have the chance to say goodbye. She had planned to visit her aunt in the weekend but now the universe had more stories to tell her.   When staggered into her apartment, her water works broke loose. She cried out of pain and sorrow of loosing the most important person in her life once again.    She stifled a moan and cursed out in anger. The universe has once again left her with no one.     Christmas was two months ahead and the Southern California weather just outside her window was warm and balmy. When she thought of Christmas, she remembered her aunt's plan for the season.     She still remembered her voice as clear as it sounded.   "Kate, we will have a tree as large as an orchard and decorate it, we will have the most memorable Christmas ever."    Her water works broke again, and for the hundredth time this was not how she planned on spending her season. Once again, she was alone.    She thought of the images of snow covered pines and knee-deep drifts of cold white powder, stinging cheeks and bright fires in a red brick fireplace that Christmas would bring.   With a strangled helpless cry, Kate buried her head on the pillow.
