Chapter 84 - Threatening Her In His Style

Adrian was in the mood to see Katherine. But he was shocked when he entered her house to see her with another man, who looked the same age as him. He was furious to see them together. He was used to being the only one who could satisfy Katherine. His heart ached to look at them and felt bad to find out his care for her.

He was determined to get her back, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to get her back. He tried everything he could think of, but he failed. He tried to talk to her, but she didn't seem interested in getting back together with him.

He was devastated when he saw them together. He felt like he was losing her forever. He couldn't sleep or eat. He was so upset that he could hardly think straight. He didn't know what to do. He was desperate.

He decided to leave the house. He was so upset that he couldn't stay in the house. He couldn't stand to see them together. He was so angry. He wanted to kill him. He had to get Katherine back. He wanted to make her his again. He wanted to be her only one. He wanted her to be his forever.

Meanwhile, the person asked him, " Who are you?" 

" My name is...." Katherine interrupted and nervously said, " He is our new CEO, Mr. Wilson" looking at Adrian.

" Oh..."

" Nice to meet you. My name is Martin, Katherine's friend" he introduced himself to Adrian with a smile.

" I ordered sandwiches for us and was waiting for a delivery boy,

" Please come and sit on the sofa." He invited him politely." Please come and sit on the sofa." He invited him politely.

" Thank you." Adrian followed him to sit on the sofa.

" You talk with Katherine. I will be back after taking my shower. I want to take a bath before the sandwiches arrive" Martin said.

" Sure," Adrian said.

" Thank you." He said and left the room.

Adrian and Katherine were sitting on the sofa. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. Suddenly he noticed the ointment on her right palm and knuckles. It looked like her right hand was burned. He was shocked to see this. He turned to look at her. " Katherine, what happened to your hand?" he asked.

" It's nothing," she said. She looked down. He took her hand and looked at her palm. He was shocked to see the burns. He was so concerned about her. He was worried that she was hurt and was trying to stop him from knowing about it.

" Tell me what happened to your hand," he said.

" It's okay. I got burned when I was cooking" Katherine lied.

" What? How?"

" I was cooking and my hand slipped. It was a little burn, nothing serious" Katherine explained.

" Did you go to the hospital?" Yes, Martin took me to the hospital last night" she replied.

" May I know what your relationship is with Martin? Is he your new boyfriend?" He asked, looking at her face.

" What if I say he is my boyfriend?" She asked him.

" I don't want to believe it," he said.

" Believe what you want," she said.

" Katherine, I don't want to believe that you are with someone else. I hope you are not" he said.

" I don't want to talk about this," Katherine said.

" Okay. I will get to know the secrets you are hiding from me on my own," he said.

Just in time, the delivery boy came to give the parcel. As Katherine was sick, she took the parcel and placed it on the table in the hallway.

" Don't you invite your boss to join us for lunch? " Martin asked coming out of his room.

She stood up from the chair and asked Adrian to join lunch with them. They were staring at each other. He was the one who broke the silence.

" So...You don't want him to know that I am Adrian" he questioned her in a whisper not to be heard by Martin, raising his eyebrow.

She opened her mouth to talk but she didn't get words to speak.

" Fine. Till you introduce me yourself as Adrian, I won't tell him my identity to him " he said.

Then he noticed Martin coming towards them. He changed the topic and asked, " How many days do you want off for work?" 

" Mr. Wilson, if you don't mind, please give her four days off to work. She is very weak and needs some rest. " Martin requested.

Adrian looked at Katherine for a few seconds and said, " Okay. Let her take leave for four days. I will arrange some alternative to assist my work in her absence" with a smirk.

" You are so a kind and soft-hearted person," Martin said and gave a shaking hand.

" It's so nice to think about me like that, " Adrian said but Katherine was confused by his words.

" Please be seated while I served the food," Martin said and went to the kitchen.

" Will you fire me from the job? " Katherine asked scaringly.

" No sweetheart. I don't fire you from your job. But I will appoint another secretary who can assist your work perfectly more than you " he said.

Then he continued, " Don't you want to know her name, sweetheart? " 

Katherine skeptically looked at him. Meanwhile, Martin came and started serving on the plates.

" Till you join in the work, I will request Jessica to help me to assist me. Hope it will be a good idea" he informed taking a bite of the sandwich. 

She raised her head and looked at his facial expression. She doesn't like the idea of him, Jessica assisting him as she knew about her flirty behavior with male staff.

" Then Kathie can take one week off for her work," Martin said excitedly.

" Martin…" Kathie hushed giving a glare.

" Sure, if she wants to take two weeks off for work. It's okay to me" Martin said pressing his words.

" Mr. Wilson, I will join in two days at work. I don't want to disappoint Miss. Green" she replied looking at Martin.

" Your wish, Miss. Davis. If you are okay then no issues but stress yourself " he said sheepily.

" Kathie...why are you so stubborn?" Martin yelled at her.

" Yeah...you are right, your friend is so stubborn. " Adrian agreed with him.

" You don't know how I am tolerating her since my childhood. " Martin joked.

" So you are her childhood friend? " Adrian asked curiously.

" Yes. My mother and her mother used to be friends. After my mom's death, I used to stay with her family. " Martin replied with a sad smile.

" But now...." Katherine interrupted and said, " Why don't bring a soft drink to my boss"? " 

" Yeah. .sure." He went away from them.

" Mr. Wilson. I will be glad if you complete your food and leave from here as early as possible" she whispered.

" Why? " he questioned her.

" Because...I never invited any person related to work to my home. And… " Katherine stammered.

Then Adrian continued, " And...you don't want anyone to know about your personal life. Isn't it?"

Katherine remained silent and lowered her head.

"It's not possible to hide secrets and truth for a long time. I will find it. Don't try to run away from me this time " he threatened.

Katherine gulped her throat with his warning and her body started shivering. She was scared thinking about his reaction after knowing the truth about Sam.

" Have this coke…" Martin placed a glass in front of Adrian on the table.

" Thank you so much " Adrian smiled and started sipping his coke looking at her who was sweating.

" Kathie...Are you having a fever again? " Martin asked placing his palm on her forehead on seeing her shiver.

" Okay. I will leave now. Let her take some rest. I have so much work to do " Adrian stood up from the chair.

" Take care of your health, Miss. Davis. There is no need to rush for work if you are sick " he said before leaving her house.

" He is such a kind person, isn't he? " Martin said with a happy face.

" Hmmm…" she hummed and walked hurriedly to her room.

She went to her room and sat on the edge of the bed placing her left palm on her chest. Her heart was beating fast as if it will explode anytime with the thought of finding Sam as his son. 

" He will hate me to hide the truth about Sam," she thought in her mind.

…..

He gripped the steering tight when he understood how caring Martin was about her. He took a long breath closing his eyes. After calming his nerves, he realized that Martin was only her friend with his gesture.

"Till he gathers all information, he could not come to any conclusion," he thought.

He drove the car back to the company with many thoughts in his mind. After entering his cabin, he wanted to take the advice of his friend, Thomas. It had been many days, he talked to him as they argued about his engagement with Emily. Thomas doesn't want him to get engaged with her as he knew his heart but he agreed to his mother's happiness.

Without wasting time, he dialed his number from his mobile.
