My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

The days went on normally in West family life. The twins left for school, and Anna went to college, and Cathy... went back to work. Unfortunately, the job set by her uncle was not what she expected.

Until now, Cathy did not understand why her uncle sent her to work for Alvianc company. What's more, being Kinsey Alvianc's assistant?! The crazy guy who claimed her as his lover yet treated her like a brother toward his sister?

She didn't know how much longer she could keep her sanity in place if she kept seeing Kinsey Alvianc. This was the first time she found someone so annoying to the point she could hate the man to death.

Now she regretted asking her uncle to let her work. It was better for her not to work and relax at home as usual if she knew this would happen.

Working as an Alvianc's group heir's assistant was no different with laze around. Since she came to work last Monday, Kinsey hasn't given her any jobs. Instead, he made her go around the city all day long, not for work, but shopping or leisure. And now they're at the airport going overseas?! What kind of work is this?

If Steve didn't come with them, Cathy would have firmly refused and wouldn't go abroad. Before meeting Vincent, the only man she could feel comfortable with was Steve. The man treated her like a brother in contrast to other men. That's why she never wary toward Steve's hidden agenda.

Last week they had a fight, but after returning from Wonderland amusement park, Steve approached her, and they made up. Cathy's trait was very easy to forgive people she already thinks of as family. Because of that, Cathy was no longer angry with her 'brother'. Only... she really hoped Steve never befriends her quirky boss.

On the plane, they had already taken their assigned seats. They could have used Kinsey's private plane, but they were sure Cathy would flatly refuse and insisted on not coming. Therefore, they could use the reason the ticket was already purchased, and Cathy would not be able to refuse.

"Brother Steve, how did you become friends with him?"

"We met when I was an advertising model for his company. We got along quite well, and we've been good friends ever since."

"There is a rumor that Alvianc group's eldest son likes to fight and make trouble. His father often punishes him. Is that true?"

"Where did you hear that?"

Cathy frowned, not wanting to answer. She often heard rumors like this when she was working in a restaurant back then.

"To answer your question, it's true Alvianc's eldest son likes to fight. But that's not Kinsey. It was Kinsey's father when he was young."

Cathy's eyes widened at this.

"Kinsey never looks for trouble or fights in public. His criminal record is clean. So you don't need to worry about him. He's a good guy." and overly protective. Steve kept his continuation to himself.

What's there to no need to worry? Cathy even became nervous hearing that. If one looked at Kinsey's posture, he would know that this young man was also an expert in fighting.

How could she not worry?

"Brother Steve, are you sure I have to come?" suddenly she wanted to run away.

"He wants you to come. What's the matter? We're already on the plane anyway."

"But... after all, he is a man, you are also a man... and me..."

"I know what you're worried about. We're not staying overnight. We'll come home in the evening."

Cathy's forehead frowned when she heard this. That means they are only out of town? Why didn't they want to tell the name of the city they are going to? Unable to find a reason to escape anymore, Cathy gave up. Besides, she believed her 'brother' words. If Steve said she would be fine, then she believed Kinsey wouldn't hurt her.

During the flight, Cathy's mood didn't improve, and she didn't smile at all. Occasionally her eyes wandered out of the window, wondering how her boyfriend was. It has been one week since they last met and until now she hasn't heard anything from the man.

Is this normal? Before they got into a relationship, the two often communicated either through chat or video calls. Now, after officially dating, they rarely speak. Is this a common custom for couples?

Cathy didn't know at all. After all, she had never been through anything like this. She's never even been in love before. It was also impossible for her to tell this to her sisters, who were still in school.

Cathy glanced at Steve, who sat next to her, made her smile to herself. Should she tell Steve her dilemma? Isn't this the first time she's complained about something to her 'brother'? Previously, no matter how difficult the problems she faced, she never complained or asked for help.

This time she desired to share her dilemma and wanted to get answers from her brother.

"Brother Steve, have you been in love before?"

Steve turned to her in confusion.

"Hmm?? That... How to answer it?"

Kinsey snorted sarcastically at that.

"He has five lovers in a year. He likes to change women, like changing clothes. You two-faced model."

"Hey! At least I have changed since two years ago."

"Ah, that one. Aren't you repenting because... huff..." Steve's hand had blocked Kinsey's mouth so that whatever words Kinsey wanted to utter were kept tightly.

Kinsey was annoyed and roughly pushed aside the hand that was clasping his mouth. Then the two argued incoherently before Kinsey finally decided to close his eyes.

Cathy saw the scene next door and was stunned by the debate. They both act like brothers. Is their friendship that strong? What about Vincent? Kinsey never mentioned Vincent ever since or vice versa.

At that time, Vincent didn't tell her any details about Kinsey because she didn't ask either, and every time she asked Kinsey about Vincent, her boss brought up another subject.

"Cathy, just ignore him. About your question earlier... I'm so easy to fall in love with, but no... I don't think it's love. It was just the heat in the spur moment. Why are you asking?"

"Ah... that..." suddenly Cathy became awkward to tell him about her relationship with Vincent.. "Never mind," Cathy chose to keep it to herself, at last.
