Clyde's POV
After Kate and I talked outside her apartment I secretly followed her. She did not know that I had secretly followed her, not because I did not trust her but because I was worried about her condition because she seemed uncomfortable while talking to me earlier. I have no idea where she is going now and who she is going to be. I just followed the taxi she rode in. After a few minutes, the taxi that Kate was riding eventually stopped. I saw Kate get out of the taxi and it seemed like she was nervous walking towards that place. I waited for her to walk away first and when I was sure that she would not notice me I got out of the car as well.
I was shocked to see the place that Kate went to. I couldn't believe what I saw. I know Kate didn't tell me anything about her family, not because I didn't want to meet her parents but because I was waiting for her to tell me about her family but I didn't expect that here in this place I would meet her mother. I saw her standing on a grave while crying. I wanted to approach her and hug her at those times, but I restrained myself because I wanted her to have time to talk to her mom first. I can feel the pain she feels at those times. I could see her whole body trembling because of the pain and anger she felt. For a few minutes she was silent and she just stared at her mother's grave while crying. She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, but it only got worse. And at that time I was no longer prevented from approaching her.
I immediately grabbed her arm and hugged her tightly. She seemed surprised at what I did so she suddenly raised her head to see who was hugging her. When she saw me I suddenly felt the pain she was feeling at that moment. I wiped the tears dripping from her eyes and I tried to smile for her to make her feel better.
The two of us talked for a few minutes at her mother's grave and she explained what had happened and why her mom had died. She also explained to me that she was raised by her aunt and that she had not known her father since she was born.
"Kate, do you want to see or even get to know your real father? I have many connections and maybe we can find your real father, " I told her.
"What if he doesn't want to see me… what if…he's happy now with his family… I don't want to mess up with whatever life he has now."
"Kate, you won't mess up his life. He's your dad, you have the right to know him and he also has the right to know you. You know, maybe he knows he has a child with your mom and he's been looking for you for a long time already. Let's try to find him, Kate. Maybe it's the right time for you to get to know him and he will get to know you too. "
"I'm scared, Clyde… what if –
"Stop thinking about what if's, Kate. We will not know the answer if we do not try. If he can't accept you as a child, I'm just here… I'm always here for you. I will not let you be hurt. "
"Okay, I agree that we can look for him but on one condition."
"What is it? Tell me? "
"Once we find him, please don't let him know about me first. Can I just tell him myself, I want to see how he will react when I say I am his daughter. "
"Okay, if that's what you want, Kate, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Clyde. Thank you because you are always there for me. "
"For you, I will do everything. By the way, did you think of inviting him to our wedding? "
"Um ... I haven't thought about that yet, maybe ... let's just see what happens."
"I believe he will accept you as being his daughter."
"How did you say so? You haven't even met him."
"You're right, I haven't even met your dad but who wouldn't love Kate Taylor, a woman who is very kind, responsible, determined, loving and caring. I'm sure anyone who gets to know her will like and love her. "
I saw Kate suddenly smile and lightly pat my chest. "When have you been corny? Where is that serious and sumptuous Clyde Wilson that I've known? "
"Your former Clyde Wilson is gone, suddenly changed because he met a very beautiful lady."
"Okay, that's enough! You are too sweet. I think we need to go back to the office; we still have works to take care of Mr. Wilson. "
"You don't need to go back to the office. You're on day off today, right? So, enjoy this day entire day and go back to the office tomorrow. "
"Are you sure? I remember earlier, you were forcing me to come to the office, what happened now? "
"Nothing, just listen to what I said and enjoy the rest of the day. I'll just take you back to your apartment, okay? "
"Okay. Thank you. "
"Let's go?"
"Yes."
We said goodbye to Kate's mom's grave and then we headed back to the car. I took her to her apartment and then immediately went to the office. I tried to call Larry because I want to talk about our new client and also about Smith's Telecommunication. I dialed his number and it rang several times before he answered the call.
"Larry?"
"Yes?"
"Where are you?"
"I should be the one asking you that. I'm here in your office right now and you're not here, your secretary isn't here either. Fortunately, you have responsible employees here and they let me into your office. By the way, I got a bottle of wine from your office. "
"Sure, you could drink anything you like. I'll be there for in 30 minutes. See you there. "
"Hey wait, is it true?"
"What do you mean?"
"That you're dating your secretary?"
"Oh, yea, that's right. Who did you know? "
"It doesn't matter who said it but why didn't you let me know about it?"
"Come on, Larry, of course, I'll tell you, I'm just looking for the right timing."
"Oh, okay, as you say so."
"I need to go. I am driving right now. "
I didn't wait for Larry to respond and I immediately end the call because I knew he wouldn't stop asking questions once I didn't end the call. I looked at my watch and saw that I am so late so I drove faster.
