A/N There's some smut on this one, hope you enjoy it :)
Cat is there, in the parking lot, the fume from her car was long gone, she can't recognise the feeling she has, but it's not something good, sadness? Anger? That must be, she's angry with herself and her great decisions.
She goes up to her office, she types an email, this email is addressed to all the personnel in her company when she receives a message, "he's starting to show his true colors" Cat smiles, she knew he wasn't as good as he looks, not that his looks were good but he wasn't ugly, she needed no more, she clicks on 'send' and runs out of the office, out of the building to get a taxi.
She arrives to the restaurant parking lot, she can recognise her car from miles away, she uses her spare key to get in. she doesn't wait for much time when she sees her, Cat smiles, Élise looks stunning on that dress, pastel color make up without covering her freckles and her hair on one side covering her shoulder, she seems angry but inside her she knows it's a good sign they don't need to meet again.
"Hi pretty" Élise runs to hug her, they stay there a few minutes, "let's get in, we need to return to the company" they're buckling their seatbelts when Hyde gets in, "we are complete now" she starts the engine and drives.
"He acted as you predicted" Hyde, Cat smiles.
"What is going on Cat?"
"I knew that boy was a rude bastard, I told Hyde to go with you to protect you, so you don't need to meet him again".
"No problem sir, I'll make that happen, just one condition". Cat.
Mr. Martin doesn't say anything, nobody conditioned him, but he let it slide that time, he clears his throat.
"If for whatever reason your son is rude to her or any of my employees, he won't see her again, I'm not telling you as her boss but as her friend".
Mr. Matin takes some seconds to reply, in the end he agreed.
"Why didn't you tell me? Élise.
"Because I didn't want you come with a predisposition, he did everything by himself" Élise hums, that's a characteristic of Cat, she's good at observing people and that has helped her to make this kind of decisions.
They arrive to the company, in the lift Cat presses the bottom to go to the first floor, not the 4th, "we need to do something" Cat, as the door opens Élise notices that everybody is there, all the workers and many people more he hasn't seen in the time she's been there.
The lounge area is the biggest space in the company, she sent an email asked them to go there, that they stopped whatever they were doing and go there. She walks towards the stairs to see everybody, and everybody could see her.
"I asked you to meet here because I have an important announcement to make" everybody stays silent, "as you know in my 11 years in the company I've been devoted to it, this company was my everything and I invested everything I am in it; but things have changed, I'm not saying is not important to me anymore, I want to say that" her legs are starting to shake "I have now an important person in my life and I want to spend the rest of my life besides her, this is just to remind you that like you, I am a human who can fall in love" Élise's eyes widen, people look at each other and start to whisper things, Marissa smiles and Marine knows where this is going, "this important person works in this company" all the workers look at each other looking for that person.
"You don't seem surprised" Kary to Marine.
"Wait for it" it's all she says.
Cat continues, "I'm not saying this so you treat her differently, I'm saying this because as any person, I want to hold hands and go out in dates like you do, I hope you don't get any twisted ideas about this, and we can continue working as we do".

The songs of my life
RomanceIt's a love story about a business woman and a worker; the story showed an age gap, however, it's not so dramatic, it's more romantic; each song was chosen for a purpose, so I strongly suggest to listen to the song while you're reading the chapter...
