Catherine's POV
"I'm in the building across from you. You can't see me, but I can see you!" Blake smirked.
I said angrily, "Blake, don't you have better things to do than spying on me?"
"Are you angry?" Blake asked nervously.
"Yes, of course, I am angry. I have already told you that I am here to see a client, but you still don't believe me," I said madly. I was happy that Blake cared about me, but he shouldn't have watched me when I was having dinner with my client.
"I'll get out of your hair after you tell me whether your client is a man or a woman," Blake asked in concern.
I was amused by his words. "You have excellent eyesight, right? See for yourself."
"Shall I come over and ask your client in person?" Blake said anxiously.
I was startled. Blake couldn't be here, and on no ground should he show up to see me.
If he was seen by others, our relationship would be exposed.
"She is a woman. All my clients are women," I told him hastily.
"How can a woman dress like that? So neutral?" Blake said.
"I'm sure men won't like it. Well, here's something you don't know. For women, she looks very attractive," I sneered.
"Really? Tell me, then. Are you attracted to her as well?" I sensed danger from Blake's tone.
I quickly explained, "What are you talking about? I simply appreciated her dressing style. Stop thinking too much."
Blake said to me, "Come to me after you're done. I'll be waiting for you. Don't keep me waiting too long."
His words made my heart tremble. I knew what he meant. The thought of his naked body made me feel hot all over.
After the call, I came back to the table, and I was a bit upset.
When we were in the Mountaintop Villa, I always felt an invisible barrier between me and Blake.
Although Patricia had become easier on me, I still felt burdened. I would automatically follow the rules made by Patricia whenever I was at the Mountaintop Villa.
I longed to spend time with Blake somewhere else, where we could be more indulgent with each other.
"What's wrong? Are you OK?" Alina was worried about me.
"I'm fine!" Right now, all I could think about was Blake.
"If you have something to do, we can meet some other time. Did you drive here? Do you want me to give you a ride?" Alina said gently.
"I drove here. Don't worry about me," I replied with a smile.
We walked out of the restaurant together.
After coming out of the restaurant, I said to Alina, "I have got a friend in the opposite building waiting for me. I'll go to him now. Safe driving!"
Alina nodded happily. "OK. See you!"
After Alina left, I walked to the building anxiously.
I called Blake and asked him which floor he was on, and then I got in the elevator. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
It had only been a couple of hours since the last time I saw Blake, yet it felt like a century ago. Therefore, I quickened my pace, wanting to see him badly.
I knocked on the door. Blake was already waiting for me inside. I looked at him and smiled genuinely. I was happy indeed. He looked at me, and it seemed that he was happy too.
I walked in. Blake hugged me before I could put my purse away.
"What took you so long?" Blake kissed me.
I shook with laughter. Blake was so bossy.
I got here as fast as I could, yet he still accused me of being late. No one could be bossier than him.
Blake held me tighter and kissed me deeply. He was punishing me.
I had been missing him badly for days, and finally, I could be with him. I held him tightly as well.
If possible, I wished I could be with him day and night.
Our longing for each other made things wild. We stayed at the hotel until after ten o'clock at night, and then we left.
After we went back to the Mountaintop Villa, we kept a distance from each other on purpose.
Patricia suddenly stopped Blake, who was going upstairs.
Blake turned around and walked to Patricia. He asked, "What's the matter, Patricia?"
I didn't listen to the rest of their conversation and went straight back to the Lakeside Villa.
The next day came, and I was in the Design Department of the Chavez Group.
I was reading about Leo and Sunny. Their news hit the headlines, and it went viral in the blink of an eye.
Leo did not have many works recently, but his popularity was soaring because of his new relationship. His fans seemed happy for him and sent their blessing.
I sincerely hoped Leo and Sunny could be mates.
Suddenly, my phone rang. It was someone from the Sales Department of Leo's company. He said there was a costume problem, and he wanted me to come over and fix it.
I told Melinda and then went downstairs to drive over.
The weather was not good. The sky was gloomy. Perhaps it would rain heavily later.
The man said it was urgent, so I was in a hurry.
The air became heavy, and I felt a little agitated.
I was in a hurry to get to Leo's office, so I didn't pay attention to my surroundings.
I was about to drive to a less crowded road when suddenly, a car sped past my car. I was startled and instinctively turned the steering wheel.
Soon, another two cars drove past my car, which forced my car to the right side of the road.
Suddenly, another car hit the back of my car.
My car went out of control in an instant, and it hurtled into the side fence.
Under the side fence was a slope. The only thing I knew was that I was rolling ceaselessly. After that, I blacked out.
Blake's POV
I was in the middle of a meeting when suddenly, Dowen pushed open the door of the conference room. He ran up to me and whispered a few words.
When I heard Dowen's words, my mind went blank.
Then I ran out.
I told myself to calm down.
"Why did Cathy's car flip over? Did you find out the cause?"
"The police are looking into it. Catherine is being taken to the hospital. We don't know the details yet!" Dowen said in a low voice.
I felt someone tearing my heart apart.
How could this happen?
At the thought of losing Catherine forever, I was panicking. I could hardly breathe, and my entire body was trembling.
"King Blake, the elevator has arrived!" Dowen shouted.
I leaned weakly against the elevator wall. Right now, I just wanted to rush to her side.
"Catherine will be fine. I will call the private hospital now," Dowen comforted me.
Right now, all I knew was that Catherine was in a coma, and the ambulance was rushing to the hospital.
I trembled all over, and I was utterly nervous.
After everything I had been through, I finally got to be with Catherine. I couldn't lose her. I couldn't live without Catherine, nor did the kids.
