Picture above is who I imagine as Catherine Godfrey.

*beep* *beep* *beep*

I took an arm out of my comforter to turn off my alarm clock. I struggled to find the alarm but after a minute or two successfully slammed the off button.

Yawning I woke up and went to the bathroom to take a relaxing shower.

Turning the valve for hot water, my thoughts drifted to yesterday's events and my meeting with Liliana and Angelo was constantly playing in my mind.

He appeared to be a big softie where Liliana was concerned but he was so cold for others. He didn't even smile once after he was introduced to us. And I must say, he has a great poker face. I wasn't able to read a single thing on his mind, and usually, I am very good at reading people.

When the water cooled down I got out of the shower, got in my bathrobe and exited the bathroom.

After dressing up in denim jeans and a pink and white striped t-shirt, I called Amber to talk about the landscape we needed to design.

She picked the call on the second ring.

"Good morning boss." Amber greeted cheerfully.

"Someone's happy today. Anyways Amber, meet me at the office in an hour. We need to discuss about planning the Costello's backyard." I instantly jumped to my professional mode.

"Yes boss. I have got some ideas on the pool and porch." Amber replied.

"OK. Tell me about it at the office. See you there. Bye." I hung up.

When I got out of my room and went towards the kitchen to feed something to my wailing stomach I saw Diana holding her head sitting on the sofa in our living room.

"Poor baby! Suffering from hangover?" I said while pinching both of her cheeks to annoy her.

Groaning, she slapped my hands away.

"Shut up Catherine otherwise I will send a wild dog after you to bite off your ass." She said threatening me. I am really very afraid of dogs. Once I saw a dog coming towards me and I was ready to come in front of a bus to get away from it. Diana was with me to save my life, otherwise I would have been a dead meat that day. I mean who want injections on their ass if they can prevent it!

"OK OK. Take some medicines for your hangover. I am going to my office for some important work. See you later babe." I said while opening the main door.

"Bye." She grumbled and lay down on the sofa.

I chuckled on seeing my best friend in distress. I guess I am an evil friend.

I tied my hair in a high pony and went to the parking. I got into my car and sped off towards my office Createscape.

As I sat in my chair, Amber entered my office and started laying out some of her plans about planning the Costello garden. Making this project a huge success was very important for us. It would prove to be a huge profit for us since the Costello's are very rich and influential people. We will be able to get big projects if we impress our clients.

"Boss, I was thinking that we should focus on the lightening too since it will give elegance to the garden. And it's exactly what we are aiming for. I have also made some designs for the fountain system." Amber said showing me some designs.

"The lightening idea is good, but I think, we should make a waterfall for the backyard, instead of just a fountain. They already have one in the front and we have more than sufficient space for a waterfall." I replied while adding the idea to our list. We went back and forth throwing ideas and creating a spectacular design.

The clock showed 6:30 in the evening till we finished planning and making some calls for arrangement.

"Amber I think we should call it a day. Meet me tomorrow at 10 in the morning here. We will go to the Costello mansion to start designing the garden." I said while packing up.

"OK. And shall we take the light men with us to see how much work is to be done with them and explain them the effects we want?" Amber asked standing up.

"Yes, inform them to meet us tomorrow at my office. I am going to my apartment now. Please lock up the office and then you are good to go." By the time I said it I was already out the door. I got in my car, pressed on the accelerator and drove off.

When I entered the apartment I was greeted by the smell of good food.

Diana was in the kitchen making lasagne. I licked my lips in anticipation. Diana is a great cook so the drool coming out of my mouth was justifiable. She set out cutlery on the table and served while I was rubbing my hands.

"You know Catherine, tomorrow is Saturday and we should totally go out and party. It's been a while since we had our alone time."

"Yes, sorry for that. I was busy earlier with the Simon's project and now the Costello's. But we will surely go out tomorrow night. But. No alcohol. You know I don't drink and you too should not if you want to live long." I said while grinning and digging into the delicious food and she followed suit.

"By the way, who are these Costello's? Do you, by anyway, means Angelo Costello?" Her question made me look up at her in confusion.

"How do you know about him? And you are right, it's him." I said, still devouring my lasagne.

"Oh God, you lucky bitch!" She said getting excited and out of the blue she grew all sad. "This is no justice! You get to see that eye candy every day, and here I am who have to endure seeing that old, stout, horrible boss of mine."

I just shook my head and bemusedly ignored her. After eating I got dressed in my boy-shorts and a tank top and went to sleep with a certain Italian hunk in my mind.
