Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 24

*Kat’s POV

After parking my car in the underground parking of Waynst. I got off and walked to the elevator and it

had only one button and a code box. Okay, so only the person who has the code can go to wherever it

takes to, and since I don’t have that code, I pressed the only button left other than the buttons that call

for emergency. It took me to a floor which I later understood was the ground floor of the company and I

got off and came to see a beautiful blonde lady sitting behind the desk. So that must be the

receptionist. And I walked to her.

“Hi how may I help.” She asked, smiling at me. And here I am thinking, this beautiful lady will be a rude

bitchy type of lady. So, ‘don’t judge the book by its cover’ is actually true.

“Hi, I am Katherine Marshal. I am here to meet Ry- um, Mr. Scott.” When I was about to say his name,

she narrowed her eyes at me. Well, the look she gave me can be who-is-this-lady-trying-to-steal-my-

boyfriend, I got this look soo many times during highschool when I was walking down the hallways with

Ryder. Ryder is very handsome, I cannot deny that, and so many girls having a crush on him,

especially those bitchy meany type already take him to be their boyfriend. I got used to that look.

But the look this pretty lady gave me can also be who-is-this-lady-daring-to-say-our-boss’s-first-name,

well judging from the way he has changed I have no doubt that he makes other intimidated.

“Wait, do you know our boss, cause no one who doesn’t know him dares to say his first name even if it

is not in his presence.” She said confirming that the look she gave was the second one I thought ‘who-

is-this-lady-daring-to-say-our-boss’s-first-name,’ look.

“Well, that’s a long story.” I said and sighed. She gave me a sympathetic smile. Why did she-

“You must be one those girls who bedded with him coming again to see him, right?” she said answering

my unasked even not completed thought question.

“NO.” I said raising my voice. Forget about meeting, I don’t go behind a person who doesn’t want me if Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

anything, I deserve men to be behind me if they denied me.

“Sorry-”

“No, I am sorry I shouldn’t have raised my voice. I am actually here regarding the new building.” I

interrupted her before she completed her apologize. If anyone, it should be me who should apologize

and feel pity for me. For still having the hopeless feelings towards the man who I had relation with from

I was 5 till 22, who now doesn’t even show the emotions of acquaintance.

“ahh the architect from Simiona. Am I right? I am so sorry for saying something unnecessary about who

you are.” she said embarrassed.

“It’s okay.” I said that, and she went back to being a professional. I think we will be good friends. I don’t

know why I felt that, but I had that feeling.

“Okay, my name is Martha. I have notified the boss’s secretary. The moment she gets it she will call

back and once he agrees you can go to the elevator on the left of the elevator you came up.” She said

with a professional tone pointing towards the elevator I have to go to meet him. And before she could

bring her hand back to her side, she got the call. It must be from the secretary of his. I wonder if he had

slept with her, I wouldn’t be surprised if that had already taken place. Like I said he is not my Ry

anymore he is the cold icy CEO Ryder Scott. Though the mere thought of another girl on his lap tears

me up, I got to accept the reality.

“You may go he has agreed to meet you. Its on the topmost floor. When you reach 17th floor, you will

be asked the password, and it is.. one second…” she said. She pulling out a note from the drawers of

the desk and turned the pages and stopped when she reached one page and looked at saying, “the

password is ’28-09-2012’. There you will meet his secretary, who will take you to his room.” She said

pulling me back from my thoughts. Wow, I must have been in my thought so deeply that I hadn’t even

heard her talking to the so-called secretary.

“Thanks.” I said and with a nod from her I went to the elevator and pressed the button 17, which was

the odd one out from the rest of the paired buttons. As the elevator went up a sweet music was played.

He must have installed it for the tired employees to be feeling some relief after the tough day. It must

have not been out of sympathy, it must have been done because unexhausted energetic employee

brings more profit to the company. He was such a smart ass.

I should give him the credit for that and I minute silent pray for those who thought the CEO to be so

kind to put music for the employee because let me tell you something from my experience he hates it

when someone hears music or tries to relax when doing something serious and me being totally

different from him does my work even the most serious work by hearing music. I just can’t do anything

without music.

As the 17 floor arrived, the elevator stopped, but the doors weren’t open and suddenly a very sweet

feminine voice, like siri, asked for the password. And I said, “28-09-2012” and the door opened with a

“Welcome” from the same sweet robotic voice.

I have absolutely no idea why has he kept this date to enter his floor. This is the date his parents got

into an accident, the day we lost all his contacts. With a sigh, I stepped out of the elevator before it

closed. Like Martha said, there was a very beautiful lady who had a beautiful wavy red hair with all the

curves at right places wearing a dress that showed everything that should not be showed. Well, you

could say she is practically the bitchy secretaries I read in the novels. The ones that had a label tapped

on her saying she will get her boss in her panties as cringy as it sounds. And just the way she looked at

me confirmed that she didn’t like me. Feelings are mutual, sweetheart.
