He ran his fingers through his hair as he sat at the breakfast table, waiting for her to return but she didn’t. He sighed, maybe the call was really urgent. She wouldn’t have acted that way if it wasn’t.
But then, what could he that urgent? He knew it definitely wasn’t about their work because no one would call her without going through him so what could have happened?
He was still there, waiting for her when he recieved a call. It had to do with the tender that had just being approved and as such, he had to leave.
He knocked at the door of her room. “Kathryn, I know you’re very busy but I’m off to work, I’ve got some things to finish.” He told her, and even though he didn’t get a response, he assumed she knew already.
He walked away and got dressed.
“Greetings, Mr Lopez. It’s so nice that you could finally make it.” One of the men said, and he smiled.
“Of course, Mr Damian. Why wouldn’t I? This means a lot to me, and as such, I would have to be here.” Daniel said with a smile on his face, and they shook hands.
He wasn’t really happy because he was thinking Kathryn was hiding something from him, but did he have any reason to actually be suspicious of her? He didn’t. He had to stop being paranoid, Kathryn was an adult, and as such could take care of herself.
“This is sir David, he is the one who is the main head of the organization and when he saw your presentation, he was just so impressed. You won him over completely and as such, you got the tender.” Mr Damain told him and he smiled as he shook hands with sir David.
“It’s my pleasure that you loved the presentation sir.” He said, and the man smiled.
“Yes, I did like the presentation of the project but then some time later, your assistant messaged. She said there were some other things that needed to be added, and trust me, those additions were the best things I could have ever seen.” He told Daniel whose eyes widened in shock.
“My assistant? When was that?” He asked, and sir David led him to the chair before continuing.
“Yes, Mr. Lopez. Isn’t Kathryn Wilson your assistant? She sent a complete follow up and added somethings to it and that was perfection. It was all we ever wanted in a project, and you gave it to us. Thank you so much.” He told Daniel who seemed to be confused.
What could be happening? When did katheyn go back and these things? He didn’t discuss anything like this with her, and he never asked her to help. Besides, she didn’t tell him anything about the addition so when did all this happen?
“Of course, it’s my pleasure.” He said, and sir David smiled as he passed the laptop to Daniel.
“There, sir Lopez. Those are the additions you told the assistant to add and trust me, they’re amazing. We just need to remove a few things. If that’s fine by you?” He asked, and Daniel stared at him.
“It’s an exclusive presentation, of course we would be willing to make changes. Tell me, what do you need the changes on? It’s with what my assistant added, right?” He asked as he clenched his fists and the man shook his head.
“No. Your assistant did a perfect job, it’s because of her that this is possible. We would make changes to the first part of the project.” He said, and Daniel stared at him, shocked.
“The first part? Tell me, what’s wrong with it?” He asked, and the man chuckled.
“Don’t get me wrong, sir. There’s nothing wrong with it. We just feel like the addition was perfect. It was all we wanted, and as such, the first part isn’t really important. We would like to remove it, if you want.” He said, and Daniel swallowed.
He worked hard on that first part, he did a lot of research for it, and now, it wasn’t really needed? What did these people even think of themselves?
He smiled, what mattered was the fact that they got the tender. He chuckled. “Of course, sir. What matters is that everyone benefits from this.” He said, and the man shook his head.
They discussed business for a long time, but while they discussed, he couldn’t get his mind off Kathryn. How could she have taken such a bold step without even informing him? He nodded at everything being said, now he was even more worried about her because if she could take this kind of bold step without even informing him, what other steps could she take?
After the meeting, they sealed the deal and told him they would be sending the contract to him. He nodded and with that, returned home. He had a lot of questions to ask her.
“Kathryn!” He called as he walked upstairs to her room. He opened the door but she wasn’t in the room.
He listened in at the bathroom to see if she was in there but she wasn’t. Where could she have gone?
He called her name several times but she didn’t answer and then going to the dining table, his eyes widened in shock. It was the same. The same way he had kept the table earlier was the same way it was now which only meant one thing.
She hadn’t returned.
Where could she have gone? He stared at the wall clock, it was almost night time and she still hadn’t returned. What could be so important that she would leave the house like that?
He tried calling her but she didn’t take any of his calls and it got him very worried. Where was she? He couldn’t help but be worried about her.
After many hours, especially after dialing many people who he suspected she would be with, she finally returned.
He rushed to her, “where have you being? What have you being up to, Kathryn? How could you just leave the house like that?” He asked her angrily, and she stared at him.
“Can you please not bother me?” She asked him, and he stared at her, shocked.
His heart fell the moment she asked him those questions. What could have gotten over her now?
