376 Under the Sheets

Just in:

Chairman and CEO Damien Park of Crown Resort Group caught getting "overly-friendly" with his former secretary Katherine Young, the heiress of Young Corporation, on a chilly Saturday afternoon at Palm district, Harbor City. 

Not too long ago, we read about the dramatic life story of Katherine and her reunion with her family. A banquet for her "Welcome Home Party" was held in Magnum Hotel just a week ago where everyone who was anyone was invited by her grandfather dearest—the Chairman of Young Corporation.

And by everyone—we can now safely say that her former employer, Resort King Damien Park, also attended the said party.

The two are clearly very comfortable with each other. Mr. Billionaire even went shopping and bought his girlfriend an entire outfit! As you can see, Miss Katherine Young changed from a cute date dress into warm long sleeves and jeans to cover her up. What a dream guy, eh? They look extremely adorable especially when he put on the cute cat gloves and hat on her.

Who would have thought that this ruthless businessman had such a soft side?

But wait, that's not all. Rumor has it that the two were even seen making out in the open! If the two are really in a relationship, this might not be shocking at all, huh?

Brace yourselves because this will get a little bumpy. For those who aren't reading the business section of your daily news, Crown Resort Group (CRG) is currently hosting a bidding for their multi-million dollar project. For the past few years, CRG started to venture into the real estate industry. Now, the company is getting more and more serious about this field. Several construction companies have already applied to join the bidding war, including Young Corporation. Getting interesting?

Judging by the pictures taken just a couple of hours ago, does this mean that the winner had already been decided even before the actual bidding had taken place?

Uh-oh. Sounds like something shady has been going on under the table—and under the sheets. If you know what I mean. *wink wink*

Nevertheless, can we just say that the King looks extra hot in all his casual glory? Look at those biceps! 

Catch you on the flip side.

Yours truly,

…

Katherine couldn't contain her laughter upon reading the article on her phone as she sat on the passenger's seat of the Range Rover while Damien was driving towards the Young Mansion located in the north, outside of Harbor City.

The sound of her laughter made him turn his head and he saw the amusement on her face as she stared at the device in her hand. "What's so funny?"

He shook his head and found it hilarious just like Katherine. For almost a decade in the business, he had his fair share in some gossip columns. However, this time, it involved Katherine and the credibility of both the Crown Resort Group's and Young Corporation's credibility. If this wouldn't be handled properly, it could leave a bad reputation for the companies.

"There would be more coming after this one. And it could stem into a more ridiculous story. I suggest that you don't read anymore after this," he said after entering the gates of Young Estate and continued driving down the path to the mansion.

When the vehicle pulled over at the front, he turned to Katherine and held her hand. "Are you sure you're okay? Please… tell me honestly if you're not. I'd rather want to know if you're hurt, pissed, or sad, or whatever than hear you say you're okay when you're not."

Seeing the concern cast on his face, she squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile. "I'd be lying if I tell you I'm a hundred percent okay. I'm more worried about the company, my grandfather and aunt… I'm not really used to these scandals so I don't know how they work. But you don't have to worry about me, Damien. I'm not weak."

"I know… Just… I promise you, I will take care of it. I—" He was cut off when Katherine abruptly leaned forward, held the sides of his head and pulled him in for a kiss, her lips smashing into his to shut him up. "No more promises. I trust you," she whispered after pulling away.

Gazing back at her, Damien could see the strength in her eyes and that's when he nodded, feeling reassured that she was okay. "Okay…"

"I'll have to talk to Grandpa. I don't know what he'll say about this but I'm sure he's fine. Will you call me after your meeting?"

"Of course. I wish I could greet your grandfather but I have to get back to the city right away. But I'll pick you up later?" He tucked her hair behind her ear and she answered with a nod.

When Katherine got out of his car and he left the premises, she entered the mansion where the servants greeted her arrival. She went straight to see her grandfather who was found in the back garden playing chess with himself with a smile on his face. Odd.

…

As Damien arrived at the board room in Crown Resort Group's main building, all the executives were already present and waiting for him. Some of the board stood up to greet the Chairman while the others could only look at him as he walked towards the head of the conference table, eyeing the outfit on his body and comparing it to the pictures that were circulating online.

Clad in a modern power suit, Damien stood tall and confident in front of the Board. He had changed from the casual outfit into a single-breasted two-piece suit in his penthouse on the top floor just before he went to the board room. 

He looked sharp and smart—totally different from the image on the picture, making the entire Board question the articles' legitimacy. Gossips could be ignored… but not if it would hurt the company. Now that they had seen the chairman, what were they supposed to think?
