*Kat’s POV
After hours of chit chatting. We decided to part our ways.
While she went, I went to clean things up. After cleaning, I was changing the channels in the T. V to find something that would interest me. I was dead tired, though I hadn’t done much of any work today. Cleaning takes a lot out of me, though it is the simplest task, I hate it. I know Ry’s maids would clean but I hate others doing what I am supposed to do. Some kind of guilt forms in me and eats me up, when I sit relaxingly and they do the work.
I switched off the T. V when I found nothing that interests me. I just sat back and looked up the ceiling thinking what I could do to keep me busy. I took my phone and decided to taunt Ryder. I went upstairs and filled the tub with water. Threw some salts and bath bubbles, and got in and took a pic of me in tub with water reaching up to my neck. The bubbles were covering me so it was just a cute pic for now.
Me: Heyyy sweetie, are you busyyyyy? Want to join me. 😉

I thought I would have to wait for a long time for his response. But I heard a ping sound just as I kept the phone down to enjoy my bath.
Ryder: Thanks for the boner infront of 20 men. *Angry emoji*
I chuckled while an evil idea formed in my mind. I got up a little so that the water was just below my breasts and took a pic.
Me: From that pic you got a boner? What about from this?

Ryder: Damn. You little minx. Just you wait until I am home. You are done for. Enjoy your bath now. You are going to need it to relax your muscles for what’s coming up.

Just as I was about to send the reply for his message I got another message from him. That was fast.
Ryder: Don’t you dare send me any more messages.
I smiled reading his message and waited for his next message. After a while of watching the dots dancing around I got another message from him.
Ryder: Let me get this meeting done with no boner. Or I am responsible in front of those old folks in the chair for why I hadn’t given my team any response for this month’s performance. I Love You. Xxx
Me: I Love You 2. Xxx
I kept the phone down and decided to enjoy my bath to relax my muscles like he said. Just thinking about what he is going to do creates a tingle effects throughout my body.
Unfortunately, the news that was waiting for me didn’t let the bath have an effect on me. Nor did anything happen like he said.

After getting done with the bath I decided to check with the laptop. Anyways I have got nothing much to do and right now I am just in the mood to waste my leisure time. What a better way to do that than to check on the laptop. Maybe there might be something that Ryder and I must have missed.
I entered the password and got in deciding to check the company folder. I don’t think other than my dad’s company rivals there was anyone in our family wanting them gone. So the reason why my dad is insisting on wanting me to find the answer to the clues must be in this folder.
But even after 2 hours of going through the folder, I found nothing. No clues. Or anything leading to it. Only the data sheet with company’s profits and loses were on that folder.
The only one left is the VIP folder which has our photo in it. I was actually dreading to open the folder. I don’t want that pang of hurt I get from watching our photo. I know it is inevitable. One day I have got to deal with their passings. But these days with the help of Ryder and Amanda I had been avoiding to deal with the pain.
To be honest I was in denial. All the messages and clues from my dad made me feel like he was still alive and there with me, it’s just that he is gone away on his business trip like he used to once in a month and is sending me messages like he did then.
With a deep sigh, I opened the folder and the picture. It is the only thing left to check in the computer of why my dad is very secretive with this computer.
As I stare at the picture it reminded me of the time both me and mom forced dad to take this picture as they were about to leave on their last business trip before their accident. Though the word leaves a bitter taste in my mouth I can’t be in denial no more. I need to face it. That is if I needed to find the answer sooner. But as I stare at the picture, instead of finding what is in it I am reminded more about our happy moments.
My dad never left for his business trips without my mom. Even if he did it would be just for few hours as sometimes mom would hesitate to leave me alone no matter how much I told her I would stay with Mandy. But then he came back on the same day even if it means he has to spend a lot of money for it. I used to be so envious but at the same time happy of their love that I wished I had the same with Ryder.
