407 An Adorably Deadly Kitten

"Thanks!" Katherine excitedly received the takeaway paper bag from the counter. She was currently in one of the restaurants that she and Damien used to order from when she was still working at Crown Resort Group. She had ordered the food through the phone while she was still at Young Corporation and then she drove to the restaurant in her new red Lexus to pick up her orders.

Checking the contents of the large paper bag, she made sure that everything was there before she left. Since CRG's building wasn't far, the drive there only took a couple of minutes. She parked at the basement parking and made her way to the top floor. Before she came, she had already contacted Markus to make sure that Damien would be in his office when she would arrive.

Katherine peered through the paper bag again and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile, making her look more radiant. Landing on the top floor, she fixed her clothes and brushed her hair in place. She couldn't believe she was actually nervous visiting Damien at work that her heart was beating erratically in her chest.

With a bright smile, she knocked on the large sturdy door to his office and waited until she heard him say, "Come in." Before opening the door, she looked down at her top. She was wearing a blush button-down long-sleeved top and a white pencil skirt. She bit her bottom lip and decided to play a little—so she unbuttoned the top two buttons of her blouse, revealing her healthy cleavage just a bit. And then she opened the door.

"Hi, I brought—" Katherine's lively greeting broke off when she saw Executive Assistant Manager Jun from the Crown Hotel next to the main office building standing in front of Damien's desk.

"Katherine…" Damien muttered upon seeing her enter and he straightened up in his seat. Not having received a response from her from his last text message, he thought that she was busy, so this was a pleasant surprise for him.

She paused at the door and tried to keep her smile intact but it slipped a little and she couldn't help it. However, she replaced it with an even brighter one. When she was still working here, this hotel assistant manager was one of those people who talked behind her back. The first time that Katherine met Ms. Jun was when Damien let her stay in the Royal Penthouse. Ms. Jun, along with General Manager Chu were the two who assisted them when Damien showed her the penthouse that day. Ever since then, this same woman had been giving her cold stares.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you had company. I brought you lunch. I wanted to eat together with you." Katherine slightly shook the paper bag in her hand.

Ms. Jun turned to Katherine and greeted with a fierce stare and a fake smile, "Good afternoon, Miss Young."

"Sorry… you are?" Katherine arched a brow at the woman and gave her a once over. "Oh, right…. Ms. Jin, was it? My apologies for not recognizing you. I easily forget faces."

Damien watched as Katherine shrugged and nonchalantly made her way to the sofa set in front of his desk, curious as to what she was up to. "Ah… okay," she replied casually and sat down and started taking out the contents of the paper bag.

There were a few things that she placed on the coffee table—some plates, glasses, a couple of take-away containers, and a medium-sized styrofoam box the size of a shoebox. She unceremoniously lifted the side of her skirt and took out a knuckle knife—the "God of Death"—one of the knives that Damien gave her—the one that she bought from him for a penny.

Katherine then sat on the sofa and twirled the knife around her finger once and innocently smiled as she looked up at the two pairs of eyes looking at her. "Oh, please don't mind me. I'm just going to prepare lunch on this table. Carry on," she softly said. And then with precise movement, she sliced the packaging tape that's wrapped around the styro box in one swift move. Her movement was so fluid that it was impressive.

Ms. Jun gulped and shivered at the sight in front of her. 'This bitch is crazy!' she thought, her eyes widening at the weapon on Katherine's hand that she played so effortlessly like it was a normal thing to do.

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Damien subtly touched his nose to suppress the amusement that's threatening to show on his face but his mouth still curled upward slightly anyway. His Kitten was adorably deadly.

Clearing his throat, he signed the last paper on the folder and slammed it shut. "We're just finishing up."

Ms. Jun snapped her head. She already missed out on her chance. "What about—"

"Next time, you can just drop this off at the reception." Damien cut her off and pointed at the folder. "Don't tire yourself coming up here just to give this. Email is fine. You didn't have to send this personally on behalf of Mr. Chu. Even he doesn't come to my office unless I ask him to."

Ms. Jun was embarrassed. She rarely got the chance to face Damien like this. Mr. Chu was on a one week leave of absence and she took it as an opportunity to have more encounters with the CEO. "I… just thought that reporting it personally will show my sincerity, President Park."

Damien didn't look up and kept his gaze at the table, not wanting to spare her a glance. He wasn't dumb. He knew what she was doing as he had noticed it for a while and seeing as she was taking advantage of the situation, he wanted to shut her down completely. "It's unnecessary. Your job is to focus on the hotel as an Assistant Manager. You work for the company, Ms. Jun. Not just for me. So your sincerity to me is not needed. I have my girlfriend for that." He shifted his gaze to Katherine and met her intense stare.

Without waiting for a response, Damien finished the conversation. "You may leave."

Totally discouraged, Ms. Jun bowed and kept her head down as she headed out the door. 

"Oh, Ms. Jin? Would you mind locking the door on your way out? My hands are kinda busy… Thank you." Katherine wiggled the fingers on her empty hands, a charming smile plastered on her face as she faced Ms. Jun.

Damien could only shake his head. He was amused and proud at the same time but he kept his expression impassive. 

Once they were alone, Katherine cocked a brow and made her way towards him. "Harsh… But I like it."

"Kitten, did you come here to stake your claim or show your claws?" His eyes glanced at the knife that she left on the table.

"Can't it be both?"

She positioned herself to sit on his desk facing him and crossed her legs. He leaned back and scanned her length, his eyes staying a little too long on her thighs before fixing it at her face. Her sitting on his desk reminded him too much of how he laid her flat on her back on that very same desk she was sitting on and took her there rough, fast, and hard. The image in his head made him swallow.

Katherine lowered her gaze and saw his pants stiffen and she smiled knowing what exactly was on his mind even without him saying it. Damien got up and settled between her legs, softly caressing her thighs as he leaned forward to kiss her neck and she tilted her head back to give him more access.

However, it only lasted for a second. "Let's eat. I'm hungry." He buttoned up the top buttons of her blouse and he strolled to the coffee table.

She scoffed and followed him. Despite failing on her attempt again, she happily served him food and occasionally fed him. She enjoyed their time together and she would just have to keep on trying.
