Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Damien left Kimberly's house at 11:30am. He got home removed his sweater then shoes before landing on the bed.

"I slept this late?!" He asked. This is still shocking to him.

He even slept soundly without nightmares. That's great! Really great.

He even lost his flight which was supposed to take off at 7am and the Demo construction company by 10am.

That silly secretary spoiled everything.

His phone rang and he removed it from the pocket and answered the phone.

"What is it, again?" He groaned at the caller. Claire.

"Am I disturbing you this morning?" She replied with her soft voice.

"Kind of." He rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I came to your house yesterday and couldn't find you. Even this morning. You're neither at home or at work? What happened? Did you go somewhere?" She asked.

"You came here.....well, I'm not at home. I went somewhere to spend my Sunday. That's it. What do you want again?"

"With someone or just alone? And where? You hardly had friends though."

"Who or where I spent my Sunday doesn't concern you. Do I have to take permission before I go anywhere?" He was already getting annoyed.

"I didn't mean that Damien. I was just worried about you." She responded.

"Thank you for that. I gotta hang up now. I need to do some things."

The best way to get rid of the call.

"Alright. Take care. Are you at home anyway?" She questioned again.

"Yeah. Thanks for your concern." He hung up before she could reply.

Damien knew Claire won't leave him until he agree with her. And he's not ready, not only that, he didn't want any relationship.

If not for her fact that she's kind of gentle and cool. Kindhearted, though not all the time.

He won't bother talking to her. Or would have sent her away immediately she entered his office the other day.

Damien had no friends. No one to talk to.

There are just few people he talk to presently.

Claire, who suddenly just come from no where after many months of separation.

Sarah, his staff at the company and his office slut. Just some few talks.

Mr Ben, his manager and that's only about business. Nothing else.

Lastly, Kimberly, his secretary, Just these few days she came, he'd talk to her much than others now.

Since everything became boring again. Being alone isn't what he wanted but he had no choice. Damien hardly let anyone into his house.

Only Sandra, Mr Ben and Claire knew these place. He still got many houses in Germany and even outside the countries but he hardly go there. Instead of the houses to just be empty, he let in some tenants.

Damien took his shower and ate breakfast. He sat down to watch T.V. His eyes were glued to the T.V but his mind isn't there. It far away.

His ringing phone suddenly jolted him. Who's calling again?

"What is it, Mr Ben?"

"Sir, you aren't coming to office today?" Mr Ben questioned back.

"Yeah, so what?"

"Okay, I just needed to confirm. Kimberly did told me you aren't coming." He replied.

"That's true. I need a day off." Said Damien.

"Okay, ohh! She's here already. I thought she said, she isn't coming too."

"Kimberly is there right now?" Damien arched his brows.

His Secretary is really something else.

"Hey! Mr Ben, what's up? Good morning." Kimberly's voice filled the background.

"I'm fine. I'm speaking to our boss right now, you have to keep your mouth shut." Mr Ben snapped.

"Boss? Can you hear me? Sorry, I didn't tell you that I'd be going to work later. Just need to finish what I couldn't do since my absence."

Said Kimberly.

"Whatever. Just make it right with the Demo construction company and rebook my flight to Italy." Damien answered.

"Copy that."

~~~~~~~Nine hours later ~~~~~~~

Kimberly was damn exhausted after copying the last paper into the computer. She only took coffee and some snacks for lunch.

"It's almost 9pm! I gotta go." She yawned as she grabbed her bag and walked away from her desk.

Her heels clicked the tiles, echoing in the empty corridor.

Most workers had gone home.

"Good night, ma'am." The receptionist waved at her after she stepped out of the elevator.

"Good night, dear." She replied.

Kimberly got outside and waited for a cab to come. While she was still waiting, Chloe and Anita caught her there.

"There you are, baby girl." Anita squeaked, spanking Kimberly's buttocks.

"Hey! I told you not to do that to me again." Kimberly glared at her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked before eyeing their dressing. It seems they are going to party all night.

"We came to look for you and here you are." Chloe answered her.

"Me? Why?"

"Well, we just want you to chill and have fun with us. You can't stay alone thinking about what happened between you and Nathan." Chloe pouted.

"Chloe, you know me right from the beginning that I easily get over things. Like this, especially. What Nathan did hurt me so much but I'm glad this happened among us and my boss."

"Yeah, yeah. I and Anita are here to drag you to party with us."

"What?! No! The last time I went with you guys, you two left me. I had to battle with one drunk idiot that forced himself on me." Kimberly fumed, rolling her eyes like a rolling dice.

"I wish I know how to roll my eyes like that." Anita chuckled.

"Whatever! I'm not going with you." She stated and turned back.

"We are sorry about the other day. We thought you left, that's why we didn't bother to look for you till the next day." Chloe's eyes showed sincerity.

"Fine! You know I don't really love partying. And I'm not staying more than two hours there."

Kimberly gave in.

"Sure, best. Love you! Now we are finally going to make someone happy after being dumped by an idiot." Anita beamed.

"Anita!!" Kimberly shot her a dead glare.

The cab came right at the moment and they went to the club.

It was a big club with different people in there.

Some where kissing, making out at the entrance.

She have seen this many times whenever she comes to a club with Anita and Chloe. Though, she sometimes doesn't feel comfortable.

"Let's go dance, baby!!" Anita shouted and dragged her two friends to the dancing floor.

The music was just okay for Kimberly. She suddenly feel pressed and excused herself from the girls then to the toilet.

She eased herself and was about to leave the toilet when a large hand grabbed her and turned her round to face him.

She looked up, her eyes widened in shock. She stepped away quickly from him hitting her leg on a small pipe and fell down.

She dragged herself away from him with her buttocks. She was frightened at the man standing in front of her.

"Ste......Steven? How...did..yo....." She stuttered.

How did he know she's in Germany? How did he find her? How?

"Did you miss me, step sis?" Steven's smirk was replaced with a grin, offering his hand out to help her up.
