Chapter 149 - Introductions (2/2)

”I am sorry that I did not tell you about who exactly I am.” He added as covered the distance between them.

”You are the same as that douchebag.” She added as she came to a halt before her fiery red Audi. ”There's no difference between the two of you.” She continued, combing through her clutch to look for her car's key.

”Looking for these.” Scott pulled out the key from the inner pocket of his coat and unlocked the car.

”Give it to me.” She put her hand forward and asked him.

”No. Are you forgetting that I am your escort for tonight babe?” He smirked before walking close to her.

”Can we please go back to your apartment and talk?” He gazed into her eyes and plead.

”You aren't coming anywhere with me Mr. Scott. If that's your real name.”  Katherine scoffed, making him chuckle.

”I can assure you that's my real name.” He pulled out a card from his coat's inside pocket and passed it to her.

”You want me to trust a business card?” Katherine gave him a skeptical look.

”You are cute.” He let out a heartfelt laughter, sending shivers down her spine.

She gulped as she tried to calm herself down. 'It's just a laugh. Why the hell are you having goosebumps all over your body, girl?' She scolded herself.

”I haven't lied to you so far. Why would I do that now?” He asked her, raising his right eyebrow.

”You didn't lie to me? What about when you said...” Katherine trailed off as she recalled everything that happened so far.

”When did I lie to you, Kitty Kat?” Scott asked her again, taking a couple of steps closer to her.

”Y-y-you….”

”I-I-I, what?” He asked her again. He was now towering over her.

”You never asked me about myself. I told you what happened that night and my name, and that was utterly true. You didn't ask me anything else. If you would have, I would have never lied to you.” He continued.

Katherine stood before him rooted to her spot. She couldn't argue with him even if she wanted to. Whatever he said, was true. She didn't bother asking him about him. They were living under the same roof for a couple of days already and she didn't even ask his surname.

”Let me re-introduce myself, Ms. Collins.” He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her a bit closer. ”Scott, Scott Trevor. I am the CEO of Trevor Holdings.”

”Katherine, Katherine Collins. I run my own business and own a fashion house by the name of Sparkle. But I think you already know that, Mr. Trevor.” She replied, gazing into his ocean blue eyes.

”You can just call me Scott.” He gave her a lop-sided grin which made her smile as well.

”Here's your drink Ma'am.” The bartender passed Stella a glass of red wine.

Adam was holding a glass of scotch in his hand. He was resting his elbow on the bar counter as he kept his gaze fixated at Stella, taking in all of her actions.

Stella looked at him and smile before bringing the glass close to her lips. She took a small sip of her drink and heaved out a contented sigh.

Unbeknownst to her, two pairs of eyes were set on her every movement.
