They walked back to the table. The party was almost ending and Cat was glad that finally, she wouldn't be that close to him again. The prince thanked everyone for attending the party. He was delighted that many showed up to support him. After that, he dismissed the party and headed to his table.
"Let's go and congratulate them before we go", Shawn informed Cat. He just didn't want to go before he could see the prince. Cat nodded signalling him that she was okay with that. He stood and pushed her chair so that she could stand up. He then took her hand and held it in a tight grip. This made Cat nervous again. He was acting like she was his girlfriend when she was just his employee. Cat just held his hand back and followed him. They headed to the prince to congratulate him.
"Congratulations on your engagement prince", Shawn mentioned immediately they were closer to them.
"Thank you Shawn. Is she your girlfriend...", he could remember Cat. She just informed him when she visited that she was Shawn's personal assistant. He couldn't forget that.
"Aaah yes she is my girlfriend", Shawn lied. He just had to lie to the prince cause of the way they were holding hands. This was the second time that he lied about it. Cat felt like telling the prince that it was all a lie but she couldn't. She didn't want her boss to be ashamed of that.
"Wow you two look good together isn't that right my princess", the prince mentioned. His princess nodded assuring him that they did look good together.
"Thank you prince I hope you loved the designs", Shawn asked him.
"Yes, I loved all the clothes. You are a great designer Shawn and thanks for the clothes", the prince notified him. Shawn was delighted that he loved his designs. Even though it was Nelly and the rest of the team who did all the work. He was happy that the prince loved the clothes.
"Thank you too for the invite. We have to leave now", Shawn didn't want to spend more time talking to the prince cause there were other people who wanted to speak to him. The prince nodded and they left. Shawn was still holding Cat's hand in a tight grip. She didn't understand the reason why he did that. But she was glad that they had fun at the party even though he made her anxious most of the time.
"What did you talk about with him?" Shawn raised a question immediately after they entered his car. Cat couldn't understand what he was saying. She tried to understand him but she couldn't.
"Aaah who....?" she raised a brow at him. She wanted him to remind her of the person that he was referring to.
"That guy that danced with you...?" he reminded her of who he was referring to. He just wanted to know what they were talking about.
"Aaah he just asked me if you are my boyfriend", she had to tell him the truth to see his reaction.
"So what did you tell him?" he raised a question.
"That you are my boss and your personal assistant just that told him the truth", she mentioned with a slight grin on her face. She couldn't lie to him that he was her boyfriend yet he wasn't. She couldn't lie to him like how he lied to the prince.
"Ooh and what else...", he asked her again. She was wondering why he wanted to know everything they talked about. Cat couldn't believe that Shawn liked her that much to be jealous.
"Nothing more we didn't talk for long since you came back", she mentioned. She was wondering why he wanted to know what they talked about. She wanted to ask him the reason anyway so that she could know his true intentions.
"Ooh that's good", he was glad that they didn't talk much. But he wasn't happy cause the guy promised Cat that he was going to look for her. He didn't want that to happen. He also wondered why he felt that way. He didn't understand it but he thought that it was just a mere crush or liking. Cat is a beautiful lady maybe that was one of the reasons he was awed by her.
"Shawn why do you want to know what we talked about", she wanted him to tell her his intentions. She didn't want to start thinking other things while truly he wasn't into her. She thought that he was just interested in her cause of her beauty. Then after that, he was going to make her go like his other assistants. She didn't want to end up like them.
"Cause these royals ain't good people I know them well", he informed her. She let out a chuckle as she stared at him. He couldn't believe that she was reacting this way while he was serious.
"And you are a good person that's right...", this time around she wasn't fearing him like she always does. He couldn't believe that she was reacting this way.
"I just told you that we will act like we are a couple tonight don't you remember that...?" he reminded her of the way he first told her as they headed to the party. She wanted to ask him more questions but decided to just keep quiet.
"I do remember that Shawn", she assured him that she remembered what he said. But she couldn't understand why he was jealous of the guy yet he claimed that they were acting.
"Well did you have fun at the party", he wasn't behaving like her boss now. She nodded assuring him that she had fun even though most of the time he was making her anxious.
"That's nice aah Cat", he said as he stretched out his hand near his lips. He did the unthinkable, he placed his finger on her lips and removed something from her lips. She opened her eyes wider in disbelief as she stared at him intensely. She couldn't believe that he just did that.
"You had something wasn't kissing you", he mentioned as a soft chuckle escaped from his lips. Cat just chuckled too cause he was right. He wasn't planning on smooching her.
