Falling For The CEO ( Better Version )

Chapter 24

Catherine's POV :

It was past midnight when I came back home.
My Father was waiting for me with a glass of wine on his hand.

"Where have you been? " Dad asked me.

"In the restaurant. " I replied coming by his side on the sofa and poured some of the wine for me.

"Doing what?" he asked.

"I am the one that should be questioning you. How was the dinner? " I asked him smiling playfully.

"It was good, we had a lot of fun. " Dad replied sighing.

"It looks like that it was more than just a fun you've got. " I twittered.

"We are having a date tomorrow after we finish work. " he replied leaving me to upstairs shyly.

Awkward! Dad is really a weirdo. When it comes to his feelings. And look who's talking about feelings!

I went to my room. I changed my clothes into my pyjama, I went to the bathroom and washed my face and removed my makeup. I went back to my room and stepped inside the bed, I wrapped my self in covers.

I watched the ceiling for couple minutes. Thinking that I should move on... And stop being so coward. I need to forget about Calvin. Rose and everything could hurt me.

I need to find a job first of all.

I grabbed my phone and texted Emma

• find a job for me •

Those were my only words.
After seconds my phone beeped,  receiving a text from Emma.

Emma • That's what I wanted to hear •

• Are you okay? Did you solved those problems? •

Emma • yeah am fine. Don't worry everything is okay •

• Go to sleep, I will come over tomorrow •

Emma • Good night •

------------

As I woke up, I took a shower and changed my clothes into a boyfriend jeans, I am I huge fan of this kind of jeans and a floral t-shirt from Gucci and a black leather jacket. Today is a bit cold, winter is on his way.

I grabbed my phone and my back bag and went downstairs for breakfast.
Dad wasn't in the kitchen but I found a note on the fridge from him, saying that he went to buy fresh fish and that my breakfast is on the counter.

That means that am going to have breakfast by my self... Before I could finish that sentence Calvin wanted to prove that am not totally alone since he started calling me. Which reminded me to buy a new phone number on my way to Emma's store.

After breakfast, I wrote a note for dad letting him know that I went to meet Emma and I put my back bag on my shoulder, I grabbed my phone, locked the door and left.

I took a taxi to Emma's.

Her store isn't that big or that smaller either, but it is well organized, tidy and neat.
She is a good decorator.

"Good morning" I greeted. When I entered the store.

"Morning" she said kissing my cheek, as I did too.
She pointed to the couch to take a sit.
I sat on it while she was putting a floral, crystal vase on the shelf.

"Oh! Damn! " I mumbled but loud enough to be heard.

"What's wrong! " Emma questioned.

"I was going to change my number on my way here but I forgot. " I replied.
Where is my mind??

"It's okay. I have an extra SIM card you can take it. I don't need it anyway. " She claimed handing it to me.
I couldn't wait to place it. I wanted to get rid of any marks of Calvin's existence. So I grabbed it from her hand quickly and placed it.

I crumbled the old one into pieces and threw it into the garbage basket.

"Calvin is still disturbing you? " Emma asked me while I was texting dad saying that this is my new number.

"All the time" I replied, putting my head on her shoulder as she sat by my side.

"Forget about him! " She replied. "I almost forgot to tell you something will make you so happy, hopefully. " she added turning to face me.

"What? " I asked her, widening my eyes and raising my eyebrow.

"You are the new scenarist for the Cole's advertisements" she said with a bright smile.

"WHAT? " I almost shouted asking her in a confused tone.

"Cole's marketing company will be your new job place. I called their  manager yesterday night since he always buy stuff from here so I know him well and he said he will be pleased to have a good writer as you in his company. You will start next week. " she explained with eyes full of excitement.

I was confused, I didn't think she will be so fast. I thought it will take days for her not just one night!

I hugged her and we started jumping on the couch, it was her idea of course. Until we were interrupted by a male's voice greeting us as he entered the store.

We felt so embarrassed, ashamed and awkward.
We were acting like kids.

"Am sorry to interrupt you ladies" he apologized hiding a laugh on his face.

"Come in! " Emma welcomed him. With sparks on her eyes.
I know that look on her face, it's been a while since I saw her.

Since Dean. He was her boyfriend in high school but he passed away in a car accident.
She was in love with him and she had a rough times but I guess it is  true that time heals wounds.

This guy was wearing suit with a cashmere coat. He look so elegant and definitely handsome with those sharp hazel eyes and his olive skin. He looks like a Latin.

"Am Javier Rosario, I think I made an indent for a crystal glasses and a chandelier." He stated.

"Oh! Y-yes. It's ready." She replied stuttering.
Idiot!

"He is handsome" she said to me without a sound but moving her lips as he turned to look to the decorations.

I just nodded with a smile as a response.

"Can I asked you something Miss Stewart?" He questioned.

"Yes anything. " Emma replied with a smile on her face.

"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? " he asked her.

And both Emma and I, were in shocked. He is damn bold!

Emma's eyes were popped out and her mouth was opened widely.

I pushed her shoulder to inform her that the guy was waiting for her answer.

"O-Okay! " she mumbled.

"I will pick you up at seven if it suits you! " he stated.

"Yeah. Seven is great. " she replied handing him his order. And smiling brightly and widely.

As he left me and Emma faced each other with a shocked faces.

"OH MY GOD!" I exclaimed.

"Yaaaayyy!! I have a date with the sexist guy on earth! " Emma shouted jumping in disbelief.

"Tell me about that, he looks so classy." I replied.

"Now we have a reason to go shopping. "Emma stated.
