Chapter 36

"Yes I remember that babe but this one won't cause any troubles at all I can assure you" he said pulling her in for a quick kiss "A to be double sure I actually planned to call my agent who brought her to this house to give me more detail about her so I could know more and make my final decision. So you see" he said smiling "I've got things covered babe you don't need to worry." He filled her curious mind with things he knows she wants to hear giving himself a light pat for being so smart. "I have killed two birds with one stone" he said cheekily to himself before leaving her.

"Okay, I trust you babe. Like I said your room is quite untidy so let me give you a hand by arranging the little I can" she called behind him before picking up the folded papers on the floor and arranging the scattered documents that were all around.

But then, her eyes fell upon a zipper from a female's dress. At this point Michael had just stepped out of the bathroom. Then Patricia picked the broken zipper and headed to him with questions in her eyes looking for answers.

As Patricia heads to him, Michael already knows where her inquisitive mind of hers is roaming to. "Shit!" He exclaims "That must belong to Michelle while I was unraveling her dress with so much energy then I mistakenly ripped off her zipper."

"Michael, whose is this?" With wide eager eyes she looks at him with the broken zipper flagged right in front of his face.

Michael stared at the zipper thinking of what to say. He has no idea why she wore that dress in the first place she should have worn the second from the onset. "Oh" he said as realization dawned on him.

"This must have been the reason she had to change her dress before coming to my room the second time. But that revelation isn't important now, what will I tell Patricia who is now staring at me with wide eager eyes?" Cracking his brain he finally thought of something.

"Yes babe, you see.." he paused before moving a little from her. If the lie is to come out fluently then he has to move away from her prying eyes. ".. That belongs to Cynthia or Michelle because while I was laying on my bed taking a brief nap I heard a knock on my door and to be honest, I don't know if it was Michelle or Cynthia at that point"

"Okay, so how did a zipper end up here?" she asks, still trying to understand how what he is saying relates with the question asked.

"Can you be patient babe" he asks pretending to be sad at her lack of trust" I am heading there."

"Alright I am sorry, please go on" wrapping her hands around his waist from behind.

"So as I was saying, whoever entered was carrying her laundry and she came to ask if I had any which I did. So I think it is the process of her coming to take mine along with hers that it happened."

"But it doesn't still make sense babe how did a zipper end here? That is my question"

"And how am I supposed to know that" he flared up a little so he would sound believable. "I am trying my best here babe so please! For the lady's time let me finish okay?"

Raising her hand in surrender Patricia finally let him finish without any interruption.

"It was on her way out that she slipped on one of my documents laying carelessly on the floor by mistake. So her dress must have hooked on the sharp edge of the wardrobe and it pulled out I guess I really don't understand how it happened because my eyes was closed but I hope you can make do with what I just explained"

"Well, I guess I do babe. When entering your room next time they really need to be careful. Do you mind if I tell them myself?"

"No, that won't be necessary babe. I've got this whatever you see that isn't right please do well to inform me then I'll pass the message across"

"Alright then, since you're out of the bathroom. Let me pick out your cloth then we'll go out for dinner tonight"

"Thanks babe, I love you" he said, leaning forward to give her a kiss on her forehead

"I love you too" she replies with a smile all over her face.

ADAM'S POV

*Few Hours before landing*

I don't like being rude to Catherine but she's not making it easy for me either. In trying to avoid her asking me questions about our trip to Korea I decided to come up as cold but she is so stubborn.

She's looking so cute trying to ignore how rude I'm being to her.

But I am angry at her, I can't believe she left me to sleep in the other room. I wanted her to be close to me the entire ride. Why couldn't she understand that me playing busy with my laptop was just a show.

I couldn't stop her from leaving my side because she couldn't stop talking although I love to hear her voice whenever I can. I was afraid that she might detect it when I started lying to her.

That was why I couldn't even respond to her properly. I even made the flight attendant check on her every min while she slept without caring what Kim thinks. I've never cared for someone this much aside from my grandma, and of course parents.

"Hey Kim, I want you to always check on her if she wants anything at any point"

"Yes sir, I will. But she's only your employee, the only person I want to take care of is you. You should be taken care of because you deserve it and you've been working quite a lot so you need to release some steam sir" she said, moving close to me like a snake putting her hands all over me. I wouldn't want Catherine to see us in this position so I quickly pushed her away.

"How dare you? Who do you think you are? I'm going to call the agency that fixed you for my flight. What audacity, you know what you are relieved from your post once we arrive" this is not who I am, normally I would take this chance because the flight attendant was right I've been working so much and I needed to cool my head but for some strange reason I do not want Catherine to have the wrong idea and I feel so uncomfortable even thinking of having anything with the flight attendant

Going on her knees, Kim cried and begged. "Please sir, this is my only source of livelihood and I am the bread winner of my family. Please have mercy sir, I am sorry it won't happen again"

"Get out from my face, and do not try to do this nonsense with me ever" I yelled as I watched her readjust her uniform. From the corner of my eyes I saw her fidgeting like she wanted to ask something but was too scared. "For Christ's sake is she deaf or what?"

Looking at her angrily I yelled at her "What is it? Spill it and then leave!"

"B..but sir, ohm you were the one that gave us the instructions to please you whenever you were taking a trip. Is it because you already have someone to please you? I mean the lady in the other room"

What?

Giving her a stare with disgust I try to hold myself from pulling her away from the plane at that very Moment, how can she talk about Catherine like she was any random girl.

"Go back to your post now Kim" I ordered, facing my laptop afterwards, because I do not want to overreact.

That might get the attention of Catherine. Besides, I need to use Kim as a means to distract myself when Catherine is here because I have noticed she gets a bit jealous when I talk to Kim. If not for that I would have thrown her out of the plan!

But one thing is definitely certain, I'll make sure she gets fired or never attends to me when I'm flying on my next trip.
