1003 Words
The cemetery was almost filled to the brim and Kate was left wondering how her aunt made such amount of friends. A memorial was held in their small town church after which the body was moved to the cemetery for final rites.
Her aunts neighbor, mr McMahon and his wife Nancy had given her enough support than she could ever ask for. They had contributed immensely to the success of the funeral. By midday, Kate was physically exhausted from the after math of the funeral and was craving to be in the safety of her apartment. Alas she was still happy her aunt got the rest she deserved.
Kate sighted the priest from afar and ran to him.
"Father Patrick!.."she called.
"Yes Kate, how are you feeling dear" he asked cheerfully.
"Am good, so I've been thinking father, Ild like to donate most of my aunts possessions to the orphanage". Truth be told, Kate had no idea what to do with them.
" ohh that's okay dear, Uve got a beautiful heart, the sisters would gladly appreciate it. Don't forget to contact me if u have any problem dear". Father Patrick answered.
Kate nodded slowly, muttering a thank you and bye she scampered to a waiting Emilia and they moved slowly towards their car.
By evening, Kate laid peacefully on the warm of her bed savoring the feeling of a well deserved rest. Her weekend went by uneventfully and Kate was well set for the week.
The alarm clock that woke Kate the next morning received a crucial bang on the floor. She staggered feebly to the bathroom for a quick bath while recalling her proposed appointment. It was 6:45 already and she was supposed to be there before eight.
After taking a quick bath she noted her pale face and sighed. Going through her wardrobe she picked out the most professional dress suit she could find and paired it with a matching stiletto and hand bag.
She was prepared to look as professional as possible. By the time she was done straightening her hair and tying it in a sleek ponytail time was no longer on her side.
Breakfast was no longer an option, she was running late already. She grabbed her keys, locked her apartment and made her way to her car.
Brandon stared blankly on his computer screen. The face of one person tormented him all weekend. He wondered why he was feeling nervous all of a sudden. Normally his employees tend to be nervous around him but here he was shaking on his feet for a woman.
"What would she be wearing?" He pondered restlessly.
He began imagining her in different clothes. His imagination was running wide,her curves were killing him. He couldn't take it anymore, he had to do something and fast.
Kate arrived the company building and was marveled. It had "brand and co"written to the top floor. It was a skyscraper and was very beautiful. She suddenly felt uncomfortable. Maybe they wouldn't accept her again, the place was way out of her league and bigger than any place she had formerly submitted her cv.
She parked her car in the available parking lot. Maxi was way out of place for the type of cars parked her. Everything here was screaming money.
She greeted the doorman and made her way to the reception.
He felt a shiver run down him while he watched her walk into the building. His floor was designed to see the outside but anyone outside can't see him. Just then, he knew he would never be able to get over her. She was like a drug and he prepared to get addicted. She looked flawlessly, her dress hugging her curves beautifully and he couldn't help but smile.
The receptionist looked friendly and smiled a lot. Kate couldn't help but wonder if she never got tired of smiling.
" hi, I have an appointment with the president of this company". She said calmly.
"Ohh, May I have your name please". The receptionist answered cheerfully.
"Kate Anderson"
" welcome miss, the boss has instructed that you should be brought to his office immediately, come with me ma'am".
As they moved towards the elevator, Kate didn't fail to notice the glares she was getting, maybe because she was out of place, everyone here was dressed in designers even the receptionist. When they arrived the 28th floor, a middle aged woman approached them.
"You must be Kate Anderson, right this way ma'm ".
Kate looked around and was dumbfounded, this floor was breathtaking, the designs were top notch and she didn't fail to notice the variety of paintings hanging around.
The woman led her towards a variety of hallways before they finally arrived a large wooden door. The woman rapped on the door softly and pushed it open.
This office was bigger and more extravagantly designed than any office she has ever been into. There was no one behind the desk and she was left wondering where he was.
"Please make yourself comfortable, he'll be with you shortly". The woman said and made her way out of the office.
Kate was fascinated. She moved to quietly to the walls savoring and touching each painting, taking in the beautiful artwork. She ran her fingers down the large office desk, no doubt but this was very expensive,
"This room alone would cost a million bucks"she thought.
But then she didn't notice the figure that stood behind her.
Brandon could swear to the clouds at this moment, she was a beautiful sight to behold. She was well endowed no doubt. Her back view alone was glorious. He couldn't stop looking at her like a creep. If he was called a perv at that point he would gladly accept it. But oh well, he had a good plan for her. Good plan. Good plan. He kept repeating.
"Hey Kate.."
A startled Kate jumped, straight into his arms.
