KATHRYN'S POV

Pacing up and down as if I was determined to wear out a thin trail in the carpet. I stared down at my phone waiting for Peter to call.

About 30 minutes later, peter still hasn't called then I did what I had to do. I called him and he picked up on the first ring.

"Where are you peter?"

"I'm on my way to Mr Donald's office"

"Why are you going there? did he send for you?"

"Yeah, he sent for me"

"Oh, okay don't hang up okay and put the phone on speaker in case I want to talk"

"Okay, I'm already in front of his office door'

" you'll be fine Peter "

I heard knocking on the door at the other end and shortly I also heard Mr Donald's voice.

"What took you so long Peter?"

"I'm sorry... I... I"

"What where you doing in her house? did you touch her? did both of you do the dirty?"

"No sir, I didn't touch her"

"Peter what were you doing in Kathryn's house?"

"Sir we only--"

"You only did what? kiss her?"

"No sir! She asked me to stay for a while and eat with her"

"And you did? What were you thinking? you are at work and someone asked you to eat and you agreed? All thanks to you I'm late for my meeting"

"I'm sorry sir but you have other chauffeurs you should have called one of them"

"Are you telling me what to do? "

"No sir, I'm sorry. Do I still have my job?" Peter questioned in a curious tone but Mr Donald said nothing then I interjected.

"I swear to God if you fire him, I'm resigning" I yelled as loud as I could

"Are you on a call peter?" I heard him ask

"Ye..yeah with Kath..Kathryn"

"Peter give the phone to Mr Donald" I yelled loudly again

"Okay"

"Repeat what you said earlier Miss Conway"

"I said if you fire Peter I'll resign"

"Is that supposed to be a threat or something? I don't care if you do"

"I know you don't but you'll never find a perfect assistant like me. I'm the best" I stated, earning a chuckle from him, then I added "I was the one that made him late, please pardon us Sir"

"I don't---" Mr Donald started but I cut him off

"Please sir, I'll do whatever you want" I blurted without thinking "No, I mean--"

"Is that a promise Miss Conway?"

"Sir I didn't mean--"

"I said is that a promise Miss Conway?"

I had no choice

"Yes sir" I murmured quietly

"Hmmmm"

"We still have our Job right?"

"Yeah"

"Thank you!" I squealed excitedly and hanged up
