Kimberly POV
It’s been two days after Kaleb left with Denlian that Trevina called to get an update on him. She was more than furious when she found out that he went without her.
“He went without me? How could he! Tell him to call me as soon as he gets back!” I wondered how Kaleb tolerated her for six years.
I arranged the files in the order of most important and placed them on his desk. I also placed a calls he needed to return ASAP. The fact that Trevina name was at the top made me kinda angry. At exactly 7:45am I rushed down to the canteen to get his coffee and placed it on his desk. The private elevator door dinged open and Kaleb Eustis came in all his glory.
What surprised me however was that he came dressed up. A charcoal black Armani suit paired with black pants and a wine shirt to go with the attire. He looked like a Greek god, not a single hair was out of place but I could see tiredness in his eyes.
“Welcome back Mr Eustis, did you get enough sleep on your way back?” I asked out of concern.
He looked at me surprised as if he was expecting to see me but then he nodded his head. “I’m fine, any calls that need immediate answering?” He asked as he took his seat.
“I have a list made Mr Eustis, it’s right in front of you”.
“I see”. He picked up the notepad and read through all the urgent messages. When he got the ‘call back urgently’ he frowned. “What did Ms McKinley have to say?”.
I narrated everything she said on the phone to him. “Ms brown, connect me to Mr Riley the west wing hotel division”, he replied Totally ignoring Trevina request.
“Yes sir” I was surprised but a part of me was secretly dancing at the back of my mind.
Kaleb POV✨
I made sure I attended to every single message and calls Kimberly had on the list.
“Mr Eustis, Ms McKinley is here to see you. Receptionist tried to stop her since she doesn’t have an appointment but she refused. She’ll be arriving in ten minutes”. Kim informed me.
“Thank you, Ms brown”. She looked shocked since she wasn’t used to getting compliment from me. “Run these files through legal team and tell them to get it done by tomorrow. And you can go home for today Ms brown, I won’t be needing you any further”.
“Sir?”, She asked startled
“Yes Ms brown?”, I asked raising my eyebrows.
“No sir, it’s nothing”. She lowered her gaze and began picking up the files.
“I’ll see you tomorrow then”, I said just as the elevator door dinged open.
Trevina came into my cabin just as Kimberly left. I didn’t catch what expression Kimberly had on her face but I did see the rim of red surrounding Trevina’s eyes as she worked in.
“Trevina”. I greeted as she walked in motioning towards the chair on the other side of the desk but she remained standing.
“How could you! You went to Prince Erick’s wedding without me! How could you?”
“Did you get an invite?”I asked calmly leaning back on my chair. I hadn’t had time to change this I narrated everything she said on the phone to him. “Ms brown, connect me to Mr Riley the west wing hotel division”, he replied Totally ignoring Trevina request.
“Yes sir” I was surprised but a part of me was secretly dancing at the back of my mind.

“Did you get an invite?”I asked calmly leaning back on my chair. I hadn’t had time to change this Morning when I returned back from the vampaira castle. As a result I was still in the clothes I wore at Eric’s wedding.
Trevina looked taken aback by my question “no… I mean, I thought-”
“That I would take you as my date?”, I laughed. “The invitation was sent out to only the Prince or princesses of all dimensions, any extract that came with them were considered their trusted servants, wives/husband’s, fiancee’s or escort, none of which you fit in. So tell me, why should I have taken you with me?”
She stood stunned and desperately trying to control her actions. For someone who doesn’t know her it’s very difficult to rattle to Trevina McKinley or should I say Melinda Valentino. “You are working for me Melinda, make sure you don’t forget that”. I told her before handing her a file. “That’s your official contract, sign where stated and leave my cabin”.
“Is that an order your highness?”
“Only if you prove it difficult”.
She snatched the contract and signed where needed. Slamming the papers on the desk she turned to leave but stopped before the elevator door open and turned to face me. “This isn’t over yet, Kaleb Eustis, you’ll pay for this insult”.
The elevator door shut after her last words. She’s right though, this isn’t over two hundred years ago, she played a game that nearly ruined mine and Denlian life’s and now she’s back again. But this time I’ll be the one planning the endgame.
