"True but am not tender", she wanted him to know that she was different. She wasn't like his other assistants who fell in love with him cause of his good treatment. She desired to be different, she didn't want to be like his other assistants who couldn't hide that they like him.
"Aaah really Miss Catina", this time he mentioned her full name. She wasn't expecting him to call him that way. He stood up and sat at the edge of the table, close to where she was sitting.
"Yes sir", she didn't change anything. She wanted him to know that she's different. He let out a sigh and placed his forefinger on her chin. He made her look straight into his eyes. She stared at him as he stared at her. He was making her feel uncomfortable yet again with how he was staring at her intensely. Adrenaline covered her whole body as she struggled to stare at him. She felt like, she was in a staring contest. Since she wanted to show him that she was different. She continued staring at him even after he removed his finger from her chin. She wasn't going to just give up like that and let him win whatever they were doing.
"I like your confidence", he finally ended the stare. She let out a slow sigh as he stood and then sat at his chair. She was amused by how she was able to stare at him that way. Finally, she was able to show him that she wasn't what he thought she was. She was the one who first approached him at the club, she wanted to show him that she was a confident woman. She wanted him to know that she was just like a man.
"I like it too", she didn't tell him thankyou like he expected her to say. Even though she was a quiet person, she was more confident than she looked. She then raised a brow at him as she waited for him to speak.
"Aaah so since you are a very confident woman. I like that, I love working with confident people. I want you to look more confident and wealthy. We have to go to my store to pick some clothes for you", he informed her. She didn't understand the reason why he wanted to be the one to pick the clothes for her. He could send his secretary to do that for him. And since Cat had shown him that she was confident. She decided to ask him if he could let Steve help her pick her clothes.
"No, I will be the one doing that this time. Or... are you afraid of me", he asks her the question that she hoped he wouldn't ask. How could he think that she was scared of him yet he was the one who told her earlier that he loved her confidence.
"Am not afraid of you. I just respect you", She mentioned. She wondered why he wanted to join her yet that wasn't his work. She decided to just go with him and see what he was planning to do as they were selecting the clothes.
"Alright Miss Cat let's go", he informed her as he stood. She immediately left his office and stood near Steve's desk.
"Hey, Steve I have a question..?" She whispered not wanting Shawn to hear her.
"Yes ask the question", he was ready to answer her. He whispered too and she was glad that he understood, where she was coming from.
"Did Shawn help his other assistants to pick their work clothes", she asks him the question finally. She wanted to know if Shawn took the others or she was the first one. She just wanted to have answers to her unanswered questions.
"No, he didn't. Am the one who normally do that for him", she already guessed that from the beginning. That Steve was the one who was doing that job. She couldn't understand why he persisted that he was the one who would help her choose the clothes by himself. Yet he was the boss and a very busy man. She also discovered that he was creating time to be with her. She just hoped it wasn't what she was thinking.
"He wants to take you to go and pick the clothes", he asked her the obvious question. She nodded, he realised that Shawn had already liked her before she liked him. As he was about to tell her what he was thinking about, Shawn left his office.
"What are you two murmuring about", when he was standing near his office door. He heard them whisper, though he didn't hear anything. He was just curious and wanted to know, what they were talking about.
"Nothing important", Steve answered hastily. He couldn't inform him then that they were talking about him.
"It's fine", he chuckled softly as he stared at Cat. She wondered why he laughed in the first place. She decided this time to simmer in her questions and keep quiet.
"If anyone comes looking for me tell them that am busy", he informed Steve. Cat couldn't believe that he was claiming to be 'busy' yet he was just with her.
"Alright sir", He mentioned. Cat also wondered why he earlier told her to call him by his name, while his other employees referred to him as sir. He still was making her have so many unanswered questions in her mind.
"We can now go", He informed Cat as he headed to the elevator. As they entered the elevator he stared at Cat the entire time. She decided to ignore it and stare at the ground. They stopped in the basement. As they exited the elevator, Cat couldn't believe what she was seeing. There were so many clothes hanged everywhere.
"Welcome to my store Miss Catina", he showed her the way they were supposed to take. Cat was happy that finally, she was going to be wearing expensive clothes.
