The time fled off as if it had been chased and within a twinkle of an eye it was already six PM.
Catherine was in her office working on some documents when she took a glance at the wall clock and realized that it was already six PM.
Without hesitating, she arranged the remaining documents in her bag and arranged her tattered table and started heading towards the garage.
Once she came out she waved goodbye at the secretary who furrowed her brows at her when she realized that she was putting on the suit of the CEO.
Catherine dashed out of the company not minding the surprise look of her colleagues.
When she came out she saw Jerry who was already waiting for her in the front of the company.
Once he saw her he came down from the car and opened the door of the car for Catherine who greeted him before getting in.
When Jerry turned around to enter the car he saw Boris running towards him.
"Not again," Jerry muttered to himself.
"Good evening Jerry," Boris greeted.
"Good evening Boris, how was your day?" Jerry asked with a wicked grin.
"Stressful," Boris answered with a straight face. "I have finished with the paperworks you gave me," he said to Jerry with a frown on his face.
"Perfect," Jerry replied, " I will take them tomorrow.
Immediately Boris turned and saw Catherine in the car wearing Jerry's suit and immediately he smiled and looked at Jerry.
"Dude, since when did you start sharing your suit with Catherine?" Boris asked while grinning ear to ear and immediately Jerry frowned.
"Boris there are still many paperworks in my office you can work on," Jerry said to him with a smirk on his face and immediately Boris countenance changed.
"Never mind," Boris replied and started heading towards the entrance of the company.
"Good night," Jerry told him while smiling but Boris feigned a deaf ear to him.
Once Jerry got inside the car Catherine who had been observing them through the wing mirror asked him what was wrong with Boris.
"Nothing," Jerry replied while grinning ear to ear.
Without hesitating he ignited the car and started driving towards Catherine's destination.
"So Catherine about our agreement"
"You mean our contract marriage right?" Catherine chipped.
"Call it whatever you want," Jerry replied and Catherine smiled.
"But that's what it's called," Catherine explained to Jerry, who rolled his eyes at her without saying a word.
"As I was saying, I think it's time to introduce you to my father," Jerry said to Catherine who widened her eyes immediately.
"Already?" she inquired surprisedly.
"Yes," Jerry replied. "You will be coming over in the weekend, so prepare yourself" Jerry said to Catherine who was still staring silently at him.
"Come on Catherine my parents aren't going to eat you, just be yourself and that's all" Jerry said to Catherine reassuringly and she nodded in agreement.
Throughout the whole ride Jerry explained to her how to comport herself in front of his parents and Catherine on the other hand kept nodding in agreement despite the fact that deep she was nervous.
In less than thirty minutes Jerry was already in front of Catherine's house.
"You can come in and have dinner with us," Catherine suggested.
"Maybe next time I have an important appointment with someone this evening," Jerry replied and Catherine nodded in agreement.
Before coming down Catherine tried to remove the suit but Jerry told her that she can have it.
At first she refused but after much insistence she agreed.
As she was about to come down from the car Jerry called her.
"Sorry again for what my brother did to you" Jerry said to her.
"I have forgotten about that already," Catherine replied after which she thanked him again for the suit.
They both stared at each other for some seconds and immediately Jerry drew his face closer to hers in order to kiss her but immediately Catherine used her finger in blocking his lips.
"I don't want to get pregnant. '' She said to Jerry, who almost bursted into laughter.
"Who gets pregnant through a kiss?" Jerry asked while raising his hands in the air.
"I don't know" Catherine replied and immediately she drew her face towards Jerry's and pecked him on his cheeks.
"That's for the suit," she replied, stepping down from the car.
"I think I should be offering you gifts every time in order to get pecs from you," Jerry said to her jokingly.
"Keep dreaming" She replied before waving him goodnight while walking inside her apartment.
Once she closed the door Jerry ignited his car and drove off.
Jerry returned home only to meet the whole family in the sitting room with a straight face including Daniel too.
Without hesitating he greeted his father who nodded without responding and his stepmother who ignored his greetings.
"Jerry please have a sit" his father commanded Jerry who was already heading towards the steps.
"But dad can't I go and freshen up first?"Jerry asked his father with an irritated tone.
"Jeremiah, come and sit down now?" his father commanded him angrily and immediately Jerry went and sat down on the couch facing his father.
He knew that anytime his father called him by his second name, that meant that there was a serious issue at hand that had something to do with him.
"Jerry, can you please explain to me what happened in the company today between you and Daniel?" his father inquired angrily.
"Why don't you ask him to explain to us what happened?" Jerry replied angrily.
"Well he has told me his own part of the story and I want to hear yours" his father replied.
With that Jerry heaved a sigh in order to calm his nerves before replying.
"Dad, he splashed coffee on the gown of one of the employees because she mistakenly stained his shirt with some drops of coffee while getting rid of the cup of coffee that he drank in the morning."Jerry explained to his father.
"What!" Mr Bernard exclaimed in surprise. But Daniel I thought you said you were only giving her some corrections because she didn't do the task you assigned her correctly and when you asked her to help you and get rid of the cup of coffee she splashed it on your shirt in order to get back at you," Mr Bernard asked Daniel angrily but he remained silent.
