Aaron puts on a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of pants, and then he takes his time buttoning his shirt up. A few minutes later, he is fully dressed in his three-piece suit.
Katrina hasn't come out of her room, afraid of walking in on Aaron again.
Knowing she is too embarrassed, he takes the initiative and knocks on her door. He doesn't want to make her upset.
She checks her watch and her eyes widen at the time. I can't be late on the first day after my promotion! It will look like I'm getting a big head!
She quickly opens the door and finds Aaron fully clothed. The memory of him in his underwear makes her turn red again. She looks down and avoids his eyes.
""Aren't you working at home?"" Katrina asks as she walks away, ""Why are you all dressed up?""
Aaron trails after her and says, ""I'm going back to the office starting today."" As the CEO of a big company, he can't work from home all year round. Besides, it's boring to stay at home when you're not here. He wanted to tell her but dare not voice out his thoughts. It won't change the fact that Katrina felt embarrassed a moment ago.
Katrina and Aaron make their way downstairs in silence.
When they reach the building entrance, they find Aaron's driver standing next to a fancy car, ""Mr. Wilson, Miss Miller,"" he greets, opening the door of the car for them when they approach.
Aaron wraps his arm around Katrina. ""Let's go. I'll take you to work.""
She hurriedly shakes her head. ""No, I live near work! You don't need to take me! I don't want to delay your time,"" My colleagues already think we have some kind of relationship! I don't want them to think we're actually together!"" She wanted to add this thought, but she can't bear to make him feel humiliated in front of his employee.
Aaron doesn't reply and pushes her into the car, successfully silencing her protests. She doesn't live far from my office. Having breakfast and going to work together every day is nice. Why this stupid woman refuse me again? Did we start to have a good talk this morning?
In the car, Aaron reads the day's financial report and says, ""I'll pick you up after work.""
Katrina purses her lips in disapproval. He never listens to me! This stubborn bastard is taking over my life! I felt annoyed by the way he acted recently. How can I avoid him?
With a huff, she says, ""Aaron, I agreed to let you stay in my apartment, but we need to make some rules! I want to have a private life and don't want my colleague to misunderstand about our current set-up, ""
Aaron's gaze shifts from the report to her face, and his lips curve in interest. ""Is that all you wanted to tell me?'
Katrina glances at the driver who is paying attention to the road ahead. Although he is a professional, he can easily listen to their conversation without even trying. ""Let's talk about it at home tonight.""
Understanding her concern, he presses a button, and a tinted window rises in between the front and back seats
