Kimberley was so smooth,that no one saw what had happened, i was really impressed..
"Bitch You will regret this" he cursed while limping away...
"We will see about that" replied smiling to herself..
Seeing her up close, she could tell that the stranger was an extremely gorgeous lady,with luscious green eyes, straight nose, rosy cheeks and a full lips..
Kimberley caught me staring at her, flashing a very bright smile she asked "what.....is something on my face?"
"Oh not really, just admiring my saviour" i replied cheekily causing her to laugh heartily.
It felt good and refreshing interacting with some other lady other than rebecca..
"Well I hope you like what you see" she replied wiggling her eye brows,this time I was the one that laughed,she was too cute,she was almost flirting with me..
"Well you are gorgeous,that I will say" kathryn said earning a gasp from her..
"Have you seen yourself in the mirror because girl, you are turning heads" kim said ecstatically..
"Not only are you aesthetically pleasing to the eye, you practically knocked my brother off his porch, its giving beauty with brains" kim opined seriously while handing her empty glass to a waiter..
Scanning the foods in the buffet, she took a plate and started serving herself.
Pretending to not know who she referred to as her brother,so as not be seen as a weirdo, I asked...
"Your brother is...."
"Davin of cause" she replied whilst giving me the look of 'isn't it obvious,duh'
"Oh, I see" I replied as I added some cheese to my plate.
"I didn't get your name" I said after some seconds
"Kimberley banks, you can call me Kim , Kathryn " she said cheekily.
"Well,thank you for earlier Kimberley,but I have to go" I said turning around to leave..
"I am coming with you,lets sit at that corner" is said leading the way...i smiled shaking my head...
Kathryn caught Arthur staring at her with a raised eye brow mouthing 'what's up', i shrugged putting everything behind me as i made my way to the table kim pointed out...
We have only settled and started eating when i heard a deep husky voice that sounded so manly and attractive that practically made everyone looked up...
I as everyone else looked up and saw the ever exquisite president Davin addressing the guest..
His demeanor, finesse and carriage made him stand out among any other male present at the party..
"I hope you all are enjoying yourself,ladies and gentlemen,please do have enjoy the bouquet and have a wonderful evening" Davin said walking away to his table.
Looking at the lady in front of her who hasn't raised her head from her plate ever since she started eating...I couldn't help but wonder why she was eating with me and not with her family,I enjoyed her company of cause,maybe I was just feeling paranoid..
Chuckling I asked "are you that hungry"
Hearing my question she,kept her utensils aside,drank a full glass of water,cleaned her lips and flashed me her signature smile..
Watching her movement,it felt natural like something she learned from childhood...it reminded me of my late parents.....they would always go on and on about how to eat as a proper lady, even though i was just five then..
'kat no talking while eating'
'kat stop shaking so much,you will have indigestion'
'Kat,eat like a lady'
'Kat wipe you mouth after eating'
I had, had a wonderful life while growing up, we weren't rich but we were comfortable and happy until that faithful day Carlos set his eyes on a fifteen year me..
I didn't know when my hands started shaking, and my palms started sweating,I felt sick to my stomach.....
"Kathryn,Kathryn are you ok" a worried Kimberley asked whilst holding my hand..
I had no idea when she scooted close to me..
I nodded,I couldn't speak because at this moment,I didn't trust my own voice.
"You are sweating,are you sure you are ok" she said touching my temple...
Watching how worried she was for someone she just met,and feeling her warm soft hands on my head,I felt a warm fluffy feeling in my frosty heart..
Taking a couple of deep breaths,I regained my composure ..
"I am ok now,thank you" I said.
She gave me a scrutinizing look, visibly not believing me..
"Are you sure,I can call our family doctor over to take a look at you" she asked.
"I am serious,I am good...thank you" I said,grateful of how she cared.
"What are friends for" she moving over to her seat and savouring her glass of wine.
'Friend' that's a word I am not sure I would use to address people other than Arthur and rebecca.
We talked for a while on different topics, ranging from fashion, mental health, health care,hospitality management...
With everything I hard from her about herself and have read about her,she is so gifted and versatile..
We got to know eachother to a point,it was as if she could read the room,she never asked any sensitive question.
Even if its for a few minutes,It was so refreshing talking to someone that isn't quoting figures and numbers of the financial market..
Rebecca later joined us, after what seemed like six hundred years later..
"Kimberley,meet my sister rebecca, rebecca meet my new acquaintance Kimberley Banks" I introduced them...
Kimberley rolled her eyes as she held out her hand to shake rebecca..
"How can you call me an acquaintance after getting to know eachother" she asked folding her hands in her chest and pouting...oh she was cute..
Rebecca raised an eye brow at me,expecting an explanation, she was visibly amused at how informal Kimberley was when talking to me.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her.
"Ok, my friend" I said as I watched a big smile grace her beautiful face
"That's more like it" she said.
"Nice to meet you Kimberley, friend of Kathryn" rebecca said stressing the word 'friend' causing Kimberley to laugh out loud..
We chatted for a while, before Kimberley bid us goodbye and left to meet her family.
Arthur came over after she had left, smiling cheekily at me.
"Seems like someone had a good night" he asked while sipping his glass of champagne.
"How was it" i asked seriously, deliberately shifting the topic.
Seeing her face, no one would have imagine she was laughing a moment ago..
Understanding what i meant, he replied
"It was better than I expected,we will discuss it when we get home"
"And I want every bone in that that son of a bitch that touched me earlier broken to a million pieces" i said indifferently...
"I think that will be a problem" Arthur said
"Say what now" Kathryn asked raising an eyebrow.
"He is Davin's cousin,more like a distant cousin...his father is a board member of Zetrov, I will fill you in when we get home, but if you still want him to be taught a lesson,I will give the order" Arthur replied.
I thought about it for a while,and decided to let it slide just this once...next time she wouldn't be so merciful.
"I want to visit the ladies room,when I get back lets leave" i said and left with my LV purse.
Washing my hand,i replied her red lip stick and added some powder on my face...giving a sly smile as i viewed myself on the mirror.
Remembering how Kimberley had kept i company half of the evening,i smiled unconsciously...i liked her, reason why i wouldnt want to her to be more than acquaintance, afraid i will put her in harms way...
On leaving the rest room, i was pulled hard by the hand and against the chilly wall..
I wasn't expecting to meet Richard again,and that too touching me....I was beyond livid at this point..
"Where did you think you are going" he breathed on on my face..
I felt like throwing up because of his stinking bad breath, plus he was clearly drunk.
Raising my leg backwards,i kneed him at the groin, he whimpered and cussed while staggering back and falling....
"Am gonna kill you,you bitch" he cussed.
Grabbing him by the hair,i gave him a hard slap,causing him to spit out blood.
"That's for touching me inappropriately" i said.
Turning and bending down to grab my purse that fell,I heard the jerk cry out...I turned immediately and to my suprise,Davin was standing beside the whimpering Richard with his hands in his pocket and some men in black behind him...
Looking closely, he had the sole of his shoes on Richards fingers that was on the floor..
"I warned you,did I not" Davin asked calmly..his voice sounded like the calm before the storm.
It felt like the more calmer he was, the more angrier he seemed..
"Take him away" he commanded his men who swiftly whisked the drunken Richard away.
