When the room cleared up, Ian turned to the maid behind him and said,
"Clear the air."
Katherine curiously looked around the room and noticed the design of the room is similar to hers. She looked at the vanity table and saw it was practically empty, apart from some documents, nothing. She stepped into the room ans saw the walk in closet and understood. But before she could look around the room more, Ian pulled her out of the room and she hit his chest.
The mixed smell of sandalwood and a calm spicy scent floated into her nose, the scent was odly familiar and evoked a sense of calmness in her even though she didn't need it.
"The room is not clean."
Ian finally said after looking at the woman who seemed to like his scent.
"Oh." Katherine said, the tip of her nose turning a little red, knowing she got caught up in Ian scent.
"Let's go to my room instead." Katherine offered but when she raised her head, Ian was looking at her with a gaze which said 'Where else would I go?"
Katherine quickly removed herself from Ian's embrace and walked to her room which was downstairs.
Lauryn looked at Ian and Katherine and gritted her teeth hard.
"It's all because of her!, my plan would have worked out perfectly."
She glared at the departing Katherine who seemed to carry more feminine charm and noticed a red mark on her neck, and since the jacket was not long sleeved, she also saw some on her arm. She immediately recognised those marks. Well how won't she? They are everywhere on her body.
Knowing what happened between Ian and Katherine m, she dug her fingernails into her palm. Her gaze became more and more vicious.
Katherine had long perceived Lauryn stare but decided not to pay attention as she would face her soon. When she came down the stairs, she had to raise her head to glance at her and when their eyes met, Katherine gave a friendly smile.
She turned to her right to go to the direction of her room but stopped and turned back. She walked towards Lauryn and said in a cold voice with a friendly demeanor.
"Miss Lauryn, his mine."
(Oosh! Four harsh words)
She turned to walk away and saw Ian staring at her, she smiled and didn't mind but Ian patted her head and held her by her waist.
Lauryn's pitiful expression she had put on when she saw Ian crumbled when she saw his actions, her face contorted in a very ugly way as their figures disappeared; her legs gave way and she crumpled to the floor.
The head maid who witnessed everything rush3d to her.
"Miss Lauryn, don't give up, there's always another way." She pacified Lauryn and tried to pick her up from the floor.
"Also, young master is doing this because of master, you'll see, when master stops pressuring young master, young master will come back to you, and you had just come a little late, that's all."
The head maid spoke with motherly love and helped Lauryn back to her room.
Finlay was at tyr door of his room but didn't enter – he had witnessed everything that happened and his gaze turned sly.
"This Lauryn is dumber than I thought." He mumbled as he closed the door to his room.
"I would have liked that girl, but there's really bo benefits derived, and this Lauryn is so stupid." He sat on the sofa and massaged his temples.
"If the wolf becomes stubborn, the dog cones to take its place." His eyes glinted with a sharp light before he stood up to entervthe bathroom.
"Why did you behave fondly towards me outside?" Katherine asked as soon as they entered the room, but as expected, Ian ignored her. He cast her a side eye and disappeared into the bathroom.
Katherine gritted her teeth at Ian resentful behaviour but said nothing.
She had requested for a charger yesterday before she went to bed yesterday and today, a maid delivered it.
She plugged her phone which had died due to low battery and saw ten messages from Kendra.
"Sister Kathy why won't you come back?"
"Sister Kathy, I don't want to stay with Aris."
"Sister Kathy, he's too short for my liking. He even has to stand on a stool to cook...though the food is pretty good."
"Sister Kathy, reply... ヽ( `Д´)ﾉ"
"Sister Kathy, are you ignoring me?"
"Sister Kathy, I'm sure one pretty boy must have caught your attention."
"Sister Kathy!"
"Katherine Ariana Deborah Warren! reply to my messages right now!"
"Katherine Ariana Deborah Warren! I'm so angry at you !"
"Sister Kathy, are you okay? Did they hurt you? I'm really worried."
"Sister Kathy, good morning, well I'm on my way to meet you since today is a public holiday, I think I'll reach there in thirty minutes. See you soon (*＾3＾)/～☆"
Katherine was smiling at first but as she read the last message, her face turned pale and the smile disappeared from her face."
