Clyde's POV
My meeting just ended so I decided to go to Kate's apartment to visit her. While I was driving, I thought about calling Kate on her phone but she didn't answer it so I thought if she was doing something important so I didn't call her again. I also need to talk to her regarding to her dad if her mom has told anything her dad before she died. After a few minutes, I arrived at Kate's apartment. I rang the doorbell, which was immediately opened by a woman who was unfamiliar to me. She smiled and immediately asked me. "Clyde Wilson, am I right?"
"Yes, that's me, and who are you? And why are you at Kate's apartment?"
"Oh, hasn't Kate introduced me to you yet?" she asked me.
Before I could answer, Kate suddenly shows up. "Hey, Clyde, you're here, it looks like you and Anna have talked already," Kate said with a smile.
"Anna? Is this your best friend?" I asked Kate.
"Exactly, that's her! Actually, she's here for our wedding, but she also wanted to have vacation here, so she came here early," Kate explained.
"I see. By the way, Anna, sorry for what I said earlier. I don't know that you are Kate's best friend. Kate told me about you, but I don't even know what you look like because she has never shown me any of your pictures."
"No worries, it's fine. It's finally nice meeting you, Clyde Wilson," Anna smiled and hugged me.
"Maybe let's just go inside and talk in the living room," said Kate.
"Good idea." Anna replied with a smile.
When they entered the apartment, Anna and I immediately started talking while Kate prepared some food. After a while, Kate immediately returned to the living room with the food she had prepared.
"Hungry, everyone?" Kate asked as she put down the food she had brought.
"Actually, I'm still full, maybe later," I answered.
"Yea, me as well, Kate," Anna respond.
"Okay, no problem," Kate said and nod.
"By the way, Clyde, why are you at Kate's apartment right now? Do you two have something important to do?" Anna joked.
"What do you mean?" I asked in surprise.
"Anna! Stop! You know what, Clyde; just don't mind what she said. We just talked about you earlier, that's why she saying some weird stuffs now," said Kate.
"The two of you talked about me?" I asked in surprise, while looking at Kate.
"Um...we just suddenly talked about you. No big deal. Small things."
"I see. Actually, I'm here to visit you and I also wanted to ask you something about your mom."
"My mom? What do you want to know from her?"
"I would like to ask you if your mom told you anything about your dad, any information that might help in finding your dad because right now I need a lead to start looking for him." I explained to Kate.
I saw Anna suddenly looked at Kate and Kate also looked at her. Kate faced me after.
"I only know his name and where he used to work before, other than that I don't know any other information about him. Mom didn't often tell stories to him before either," Kate answered.
"I see, so what is your father's name and where did he work before?" I asked.
"Raymond Taylor and he used to work in Vancouver, Canada. I don't know if he still lives there because as what I told you, he has a legal family."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, we can find him, at least now we have a lead about him. I'll find him for you, Kate, remember that. I'll do anything for you. Just trust me." I said and held both of her hands.
On the other hand, we didn't notice that Anna was looking at us already so we suddenly turned to her and saw her smiling at us. "OMG! These love birds are so sweet. I suddenly get jealous of you two. But you know what Clyde, for real, you're very lucky to have Kate in your life, she's a very kind and caring person, I can't say anything bad about her character, just don't make her mad and please don't hurt her."
"Don't worry, Anna, I have no plans to hurt Kate, because I love her so much."
"Me too, Clyde. I am lucky as well to have you in my life, you're also kind and sweet to me, you're just a bit strict at work but that's understandable because I know it's work and of course I'm your secretary."
"You're not only my secretary, Kate. You will be my wife soon and once we got married you don't need to work as my secretary."
"No! I still going to work as your secretary. I want to help you. And even though we already married, nothing will change when it comes to our work."
"Okay, I understand but in case you change your mind, just tell me."
"Don't worry, Clyde, everything will be alright. I've known Kate since we were kids. She's a strong, independent woman and that will never change. She's fine, don't worry about her," Anna explained.
"Thank you, Anna. You're really my best friend," Kate respond to Anna.
"Okay, fine, it looks like there's nothing I can do when it comes to her decision. Now, I see why you became Kate's best friend. You know her well."
"Of course! By the way, I'll go to the restroom first, you two talk there." Anna said and then walked away.
"She's nice," I said.
"I know, though, I hurt her before."
"You hurt her? What did you do?"
"It's a long story, but I did that for the sake of her future. And look at her now, she's very successful and strong woman already. I knew it before then that she can make it even without me."
"So, it just means that you are also a good best friend because you thought about your best friend's well-being. You've been selfless and because of that I fell in love with you even more, Kate."
