Chapter 80

I need to find other ways to find the person behind this threats and at the same time, make sure he doesn't get Katherine. I feel like I know where this is going to." He rested his chin on his hand and mumbled with his gaze fixed on a particular person on his laptop screen.

still looking at the picture, " I need a way to kill two birds with a single stone.
Whoever is doing this must be the best of the best for my men not to be able to track him down since all these while
But he really do have a lot of guts to mess with me"he said and turned to the window but his hand already pressed something on his laptop and a smile crept on his face.
" If my men can't, I have one who will!" He mumbled.
Katherine's villa...
Katherine woke up the next morning with a lot of energy and many strategies on her mind for her victory. Her mind had gone through many ordeals through the night and she couldnt wait to deal with the stubborn jerk she was contesting with.


She wasn't going to step down for Rex at least, to prove her point. She wasn't desperate about the company at first but Rex reactions had made her very desperate and she would win at all cost!.
He was so wrong to belittle her and she was more than he can ever acknowledge but she knew she had to prove that to make him understand and she was ready to..
she was in love! Yes! She was truly in love with him but she wouldn't let that cloud her mind and make silly mistakes toward him. Love can be pushed aside for a while, while they face each other like real competitors and see who wins!.

While she was thinking of the perfect strategy to get the position from Rex, someone knocked at her door.

"Who is it,I'm kind of busy right now!"she shouted as she picked her laptop from the table right beside her bed and faced it.

"Sorry to disturb you, Miss. But, there's a message for you!" The maid replied from outside the door.

Katherine paused for a while but it was only for a short while before she continued with what she was doing. "From who?"she asked, still not wanting anyone or anything to disturb her. ken was no longer with her and her new PA still needed some training before he could resume. So, she needed to do her planning herself for now.
Even though he looked so much like ab experienced person, Katherine still could not risk it because her partner was no small fry!.

"Seems to be from a Mr Rex" The maid said, checking the letter to see if she missed any details.

Katherine was stunned for a while and her fingers that were pressing her laptop stopped! "Come in!"she muttered as she raised head, wondering why Rex would send her a package.
The door opened and the maid came in with the letter in hand.

"Here it is, ma'am" The maid said, stretching forward the letter to Katherine.

Katherine looked at the letter for a while before she collected it and asked her maid to leave so that she could check the letter. She had a feeling it would be something that would piss her off again but why was her heart beating with excitement as she hled the letter?
"Thanks, you may leave." she told her maid

The maid nodded and bowed before leaving the room.

"What the hell does the great Mr Rex want from me early this morning?"she mumbled as she unsealed the beautifully decorated envelope to see the content.

« Dear, Miss Katherine ,
Wish to have a rendezvous with you at street 4 in five stars restaurant today at 5:00pm.
Will be glad if you can spare me few minutes out of your busy schedule.
Your dear handsome, Mr Rex. »

"What makes him sure I'll be in attendance,we can never work things out if he doesn't learn to watch the hole he calls a mouth"She said with a scoff immediately after reading the letter but then, something clicked in her head and she widened her eyes.
" My dear Handsome? My dear Handsome?" She asked herself as if she was being pressed with hot iron and she chuckled before kissing the letter.

She had her bath as quick as possible as she could no longer concentrate with what she was doing after the reading the letter from Rex and then, she proceeded downstairs to have her breakfast.
The maids were serving her as she stared blankly at a flower vase opposite her .

"Should I attend his rendezvous or not? there's nothing more to talk about if he will keep on acting like a jerk. He keeps annoying me whenever we meet.
He won't even look at me no matter how beautiful I dress." She kept mumbling to herself and lamenting.
" Maybe he has something meaningful to say or he is ready to talk like a normal opponent. I should just go and hear him out~"
She thought.

"Ma'am, your food is served"the maid said jolting her back to reality.

"Oh thanks "she replied, facing her food and ready to eat.
Her mind drifted back to Rex and his perfect body,his body was so appealing and perfect while his character was so disgusting.

"Snap out of this+ I can't be thinking about Rex in this manner. He's my opponent and a jerk also" she said to herself and sighed .

"I should go and hear what he says and if he says anything annoying, I promise to teach him a big lesson". She added and took her mind off him.

She finished with her breakfast and decided to stay at home since she had nothing doing before Rex's rendezvous but her mind just wouldn't calm down and it was giving her serious headache!.

" I should do something to keep myself busy." She said to herself and decided to spend her time talking to Nancy since she hasn't call her in a long time.
She dragged herself up and picked her phone from the nearest table to her. She searched for her best friend, Nancy's number and gave her a call.

"Hello Nancy!"she said with a smile.

"Hey baby girl! what are you doing?" Nancy asked in an extremely surprised tone because Katherine hardly call her nowadays.

"I was just less busy and I decided to check up on you you" Katherine replied, resting in her bed.

"Wow that's new!" Nancy said excitedly. "Did anything interesting happen?oh wait! did Rex ask you out?"she said with so much excitement in her voice that one would think she was just proposed to by her biggest crush.

"Eeeeww No!. I can never be in a relationship with that jerk" Katherine mumbled with disdain in her voice.

"Why do you hate him that much?" Nancy asked even though she knew her best friend was only pretending.

"I don't hate him,he's just always on my nerves telling me to step down because I am a woman and Stand no chance against him"she said with her voice full of frustration.

Nancy was silent for a while. "Just calm down girl. Take things slow and don't push yourself too hard. if it's really what you want, I trust you and I know you'll get it" Nancy tried to encourage her.


"Thanks for the encouragement baby but I got to admit Rex is actually a worthy opponent. It's going to be hard to defeat him.
Loosing is not a word in his vocabulary"she said .
"Wow he's such an angel! I see no reason you shouldn't like such a big win like him!" Nancy cheered, teasing her friend.

"Angel? No, he's not! he's like a devil, so stubborn and very cold guy"she said like she knew Rex in and out.
"I'm sure you just don't understand him,maybe he has worked so hard for years and he's supposed to head the company but then you came into the picture to compete with him,it's not that easy Katherine. He must be really mad that you disrupt his plan and made him start from the very start again. " Nancy said what she thought and Katherine's face lit up!

"Wow! I never thought of it that way but can't he just tell me nicely?"she said defending herself.

"Not everyone is touchy feeling and can express their emotions. some people prefer to be cold and that's the way they express themselves. Then again, would you have agreed if he had told you to step down even after explaining to you? You won't, my dear." Nancy kept correcting her best friend and defending Rex.

"I guess so."she said in a sad voice,she never imagined this is what Rex must be going through but why should she care?


"Just think this through and make sure your decision isn't affecting someone else and make sure you don't step down for him, okay? Even if you love him, you still must show him you ain't like any other woman and you are strong..."
