"The CEO of Therine Corporations finally made a debut at a software launch."
"Therine Corporations mysterious CEO turned out to be a beautiful young woman."
"The face of Therine Corporations finally seen by public for the first time."
Katherine broke the internet after the software launch that they had planned. She was all over the news and many people were flabbergasted to find out that the brilliant mind behind Therine corporations that took the business world by storm was actually a woman.
She was praised by the public for her achievements and she instantly became famous and the talk of the town, people were not only impressed by her intelligence but they were also captivated and charmed by her beauty and elegance.
At the press conference that was held by Katherine the next day after the launch, many reporters were eager to ask questions and know more about the mysterious beautiful woman.
"Miss Lu, if I may ask are you in a relationship right now?" a young reporter who was obviously drooling on Katherine's beauty asked with a slight red face.
"No, actually I'm single for the meantime." she knew this reporter was a rookie for asking this type of question but decided to give a simple and short answer just so not to sound rude, she wanted her image to be a kind and friendly one.
"Miss Lu after your debut yesterday the entire nation is praising you for your talents and beauty, many people are amazed by the products that you and your company puts out, anything you would like to say about that?" Another reporter who was so awestruck by Katherine that he didn't even blink the entire time. It was as if he was looking at a beauty goddess.
A small laugh that sounded like an angels lullaby echoed through out the hall tickling the hearts of whoever heard it. "Well first of all I'm grateful for the love and kind comments and feedbacks. My team and I have worked hard to create the kind of products that would cater to our customer's needs and wants and we made an effort to make sure that the products are of higher quality and efficient so I'm more than happy to know that you all like them." answered Katherine calmly
"Miss Lu, what made you decide to show your face to the world now?" A reporter who was more experienced than the others asked, even though he was also captivated by Katherine he was able to compose himself and ask more important questions.
"I established this company just a few years ago after my father's passing, it was a hard time for me and I wanted to be able to achieve something on my own without the help of my father's wealth or influence because as all of you may know, he was a well known businessman. I decided to pour my heart and energy into making this company one of the best and now that our company has achieved so much I decided its time for me to establish a much deeper connection between our customers and us and what better way to do it than introduce the mastermind behind everything. I hope you all will continue to buy and support our services. Thank you." came the humble reply of Katherine.
After the long and tiring interview Katherine finally made her way to her office. Entering the Ceo's office she immediately buried herself in paper work until it was late in the evening completely forgetting the fact that Xander was already at home waiting for her.
*knock *knock
A beautiful petite young lady in her mid twenties came in and passed some documents to Katherine "Here are the files that contains the business proposal from Pixue enterprises, they have requested a meeting with the the ceo as early as possible but I put them on hold because your schedule is pretty much packed for the next four months. Their company seems rather desperate because they keep calling and asking for a meeting through out the day."
"Hm, you can schedule a meeting with them two months later. If they cannot wait then tell them to find some other company for the collaboration, that would be all for now Lilly." her attention was solely focused on the documents she was reading, her slender fingers twiddling with pen between them and her brows were furrowed, giving her that serious workaholic look.
Lilly was awwed by her boss's beauty that she was in a daze for a moment. "Ehem, Boss I received an encrypted message from an anonymous user that read 'Don't be late for dinner' I was going to trash the message because I thought it was a prank of some sort but I thought that I should let you know first."
"I'm busy Lilly, you can just trash the m—" Katherine's head immediately snapped towards Lilly when something clicked in her head, it a miracle that she didn't get a whiplash.
"when did you receive this message" She stood up and took her coat from the hanger ready to head out.
"I received it at five in the evening boss" Lilly was confused to why her boss was suddenly getting ready to leave for work because it was already past seven and most of the employees had already left but her boss seemed to have no intention of leaving early, so why did she suddenly change her mind now?
"Keep the rest of the files on my desk Lilly, I'll see you tomorrow." Katherine rushed out of the office and took her private elevator and went straight to her private parking lot.
She got into her Rolls Royce Boattail and sped off, she it was already past eight when she finally arrived home. Katherine was worried that Xander would still be waiting for her to eat dinner together, as soon as she stepped into the mansion she immediately ran to the dining room and she was greeted by the angered demon lord himself.
Xander was sitting on the head of the table chair with his legs crossed one hand resting on the armrest of the chair while he rested his jaw on the other, looking nothing less than a devil sitting on his throne. His eyes immediately snapped to the door where the mesmerized Katherine was standing.
Katherine was silently busy ogling at Xander, she couldn't believe someone could be this handsome. When their eyes met she blushed and immediately averted her gaze looking like a child caught red handed stealing a cookie from the cookie jar.
"You're late, the food is cold" came the cold and indifferent voice of Xander. They had promised to eat breakfast and dinner together but just a day after her debut Katherine had broken her promise. He had to ask the maids to reheat the food because it was already cold before she arrived.
"I'm sorry Xander, I was swamped with work today and you know that I made Harris my vice president and now I have only one assistant which is Emily which is also extremely busy as well and since my debut yesterday the whole company had been very busy. I've been working nonstop the whole day that my back hurts" Katherine said all in one breath trying to coax the angry demon.
"Oh your back hurts? Maybe you can use the food as an ice pack" said the petty man sarcastically.
Katherine sigh at Xander's pettiness. "seriously, was that all you heard?" Instead of answering her Xander only glared at her and she but her bottom lip to suppress the smile that was threatening to break out on her lips because of her husband's childishness.
She walked straight to him and hugged him while slightly bending down. She lifted her face and kissed his cheek before whispering "I'm sorry hubby" and just like that Xander's anger evaporated into thin air. A huge smile broke on his lips and he said "Maybe if you kiss me on the lips I won't be mad anymore."
Katherine who knew he wasn't mad anymore pulled herself away from hugging him and scoffed "in your dreams" she sat on her chair and urged Xander to start eating before she picked up her utensils and dug in.
Xander glumly began eating his food while sulking to himself like a spoilt child who got told NO for the first time. "Oh come on, don't be mad anymore" came the teasing voice of Katherine. He ignored her and mumbled something under his breath and at the sight of his sullen expression Katherine burst out into a fit of laughter. She couldn't help but laugh at his childish antics.
Xander felt like soft feathers were scratching his heart, her voice was sweeter than honey and her laugh was music to his ears, like the most beautiful symphony. He couldn't help but smile from ear to ear seeing her this carefree around him, he felt giddy at the thought that he was able to make her this happy. He started piling up her plate with food while an adoring smile rested on his face, like a servant who finally got the chance to dine with a goddess.
