Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Katherine held Thomas's hand placing her left hand under the table. Thomas looked at her skeptically.

" OMG! Adrian is married. I expected one day he would find you and marry you" Martin said with disappointment.

" All loved couples are not destined to be together, Martin. Just leave this topic" Katherine said.

" But...you still love him. Isn't it?" Martin asked Katherine.

" No, I don't love him. He is my past. I buried all the feelings of love long back." Katherine said which was a pure lie.

Martin didn't say anything further. He left the food on his plate and went to his room. Thomas observed silently till Martin disappeared completely.

" Why did you lie to your friend?" Thomas questioned her in a serious tone.

" It's for all good. I don't want him to keep hope for my future. I don't want him to bother him anymore. After he recovers completely, I want him to settle his life by finding his soulmate. He did so much for me. That is enough. Not any more. If he knows Adrian is not married then he will start searching for him. " Katherine said.

" Then what is the problem, if you meet Adrian? " Thomas asked her.

" I know that he is already engaged, which means he has moved on in his life. I don't want him to disturb his life with my problems. Moreover, I don't want to hurt the heart of a woman who loved Adrian now. I know that pain. " She explained.

" How do you get all the information about Adrian?" He asked her with surprise.

" He is not an ordinary man now. He is a renowned person in the automobile industry. Everything will be published on the internet" she said with a sad face.

" Kathie…. You didn't forget him. Still, you love him, don't you?" Thomas asked her.

She smiled weakly and said, " He is my every breath, then how can I forget him? "

Thomas sighed, " I wish you both are destined to be one…"

He stood up to take leave from her. He noticed her gloomy face and hugged her. 

" From now, I will be there for you. Just made a call," he whispered.

" Thank you." She replied.

After he left, the remaining day passed with her son, and by preparing his food in the kitchen. 

…

….

Adrian wanted to return in the afternoon but he postponed his tickets tonight as Emily fainted at the time he was supposed to start for the Airport. 

He took her to the hospital carrying her in his arms. The doctor examined Emily and informed them that she fainted due to the mental stress and improper take of the food. He felt bad for her condition and prayed in my mind to find the love of her life. 

After she gained consciousness, he dropped her at her place. He strictly instructed her to take in proper food and not to take the stress. He wished to stay with her. But as he remembered about the postponed meeting at the company, he decided to return. He flew to the city in the night.

...

The next morning, Katherine came to the company earlier as she took leave before and also to arrange everything for the meeting.

As she finished her work, she sat idly at her desk. She turned on the laptop and checked the mail. Then she noticed several messages popping up in the company's staff chatting group. She was never interested in gossip. So she used to stay away from it. When continuous messages were popping in the group, she felt curious and opened it. She noticed Adrian carrying Emily in his arms.

Many employees replied to the post…

Looking perfect for each other.

Made for each other.

They both looked like a romantic couple.

Our new CEO is not only handsome but also a lover boy, Miss. GREEN is so lucky to have him.

I too want a crazy boyfriend like him.

She scrolled down and could see many messages. When she was busy checking the messages, she heard the tapping sound on the desk. She raised her head and found Adrian standing before her desk.

Her eyes widened with his presence. She thought that he might think she was stalking him. She stood up from the chair with nervousness and lowered her face with embarrassment.

He observed her face keenly. Then he continued, " May I know who is the assistant to whom?" 

She looked at him confusingly and then realized the meaning of his words. She lowered her eyes and said, " Mr. Wilson, I am sorry" 

" May I know what made you so busy that you didn't notice the presence of your boss?" He inquired looking at her while examining her face.

" Nothing... sir" she stuttered.

" Are you watching porn during working office hours? " He asked, making her shocked.

" No…" she replied instantly as if she almost shouted.

" Then…" he said and walked beside her. He looked at the screen of the system and read the messages popping in the group. 

" Who posted these pictures in the group?" he asked with a serious face.

" I….donot ….know...Mr.Wilson…" she replied in a quivering voice.

" How dare they discuss my issue in the group. I will look after that matter after the meeting." He gritted his teeth with anger.

" First get me coffee and be ready for the meeting.. " he informed and stormed out of her cabin.

Katherine exhaled her breath in relief after he left her alone. She quietly prepared coffee for him and went inside his cabin. Her heart was racing fast as his mood was not good. She placed the cup on his work table with shivering hands. He looked at her hands then at her face. 

"Do you arrange everything for the meeting?" He asked her, taking the cup into his hands.

" Yes, Mr.Wilson.The meeting will start in twenty minutes" she replied.

.....

When they got the information about the client's arrival at the company, they went to the meeting room.

" Good morning, Mr. Peterson. Nice to meet you after a long time" Katherine greeted him.
