Just A Step Away

Chapter 18

Katherine's POV:

I took a quick shower and wore orange and purple short dress. Made my hair as fast as I could. Put some mascara on my lashes and applied peach colored lipstick.

I didn't want to look worn out in front of him. I wanted to look presentable and confident because I did nothing wrong. I decided to take stand for myself. I was done with crying and acting nice with him. Previous night he came too close with me and then he acted like an animal. I would not had let him took advantage of me more than he already taken.

I was already late for the meeting with Adam. I needed to apologize him for my carelessness.

I quickly took an elevator and pushed the button to 1st floor where cafeteria was located. As soon as I reached at my destination, I started searching for Adam.

Immediately I spotted him on the corner table with a man. He seemed too involved while talking with that man to whom I was unknown with. Anyway, I walked at their table.

"Umm hi." I greeted them to grab their attention. I looked at the man sitting with Adam; he seemed to be in his mid-forties. But he maintained his physique really well. He smiled politely at me.

"Hi. I'm Alexander Martin, an event manager of this hotel." He introduced himself.

My lips turned in "o" shape. I definitely missed something. I looked at Adam with an apologetic and confused look on my face but he gave me an assuring smile.

"Mr. Martin she is my partner Katherine Anna White" Adam introduced me to Alexander.

"Nice to finally meet you Katherine." He smiled politely at me.

"Same here Mr. Martin." I shook hands with him.

"Ok then Adam, I'll see you tomorrow on the venue." he shook hands with Adam and left.

"Adam what was that?" I asked with confusion.

"I took appointment with Alexander to talk about the concert. You and I were supposed to meet him but you came late so I talked to him alone. We have decided to do the concert on Saturday night and onwards. We have to visit the venue tomorrow and if we like the venue then we'll book it for 3 days. We have 2 days for the concert so we have a lot on our plate to do. I'm sorry that I've decided everything without you." he said all in one breath.

"No. I'm sorry that I came late. I'm behaving irresponsible from the day one. I've been so involved in my problems previously that I didn't realize when I become so careless. But I like your whole plan. Good work." I smiled widely.

"Umm yeah. Thank you." He blushed.

"But who will perform in the concert?" I asked.

"I've contacted Maroon 5; they said that they will confirm me in evening." Adam said.

"Wow Adam. They're so good." I jumped up and down with over excitement. They are not my favorite but come on. I was going to work with them. Not work specifically but you get it, right?

I hugged Adam with excitement.

"You're the best." he laughed on my compliment.

"Ok now calm down tiger." he chuckled.

Suddenly my eyes caught the sight of Darwin. For a minute our eyes met but he rolled his eyes and left the cafeteria.

Jerk.

"Well Kathie, you need to invite as much people as you can. I'm not social and I don't use any social application so you have to do this work." he said while sitting on his chair.
