Sold? Oh Please.

Paul frowned, staring at his watch yet again, where was she?

"Perhaps I'll inform you when she comes?" Her assistant Hannah said noticing Paul's impatience, well he had been waiting for over an hour now. What was Katherine doing?

"You'll do that for me?" He smiled at her and Hannah bit the inside of her gums trying remind herself, he was a playboy! Plus Katherine already called dibs.

"Of course." She said with a straight face, if she started smiling now she might just blush.

"Don't tell her though" he said.

And she nodded quickly, he should just get going, already. A girl is only so strong.

"Don't tell who what?" Katherine asked as she walked towards her office. 

"Katherine." Paul sighed, "were have you been? Why aren't answering you phone?"

"I was visiting patients and why are you in front of my office?" She pursed her lips.

Paul pouted and blinked, looking for a reason he was here. Hannah bit her lips and looked away, it was like he was doing it on purpose!

"I missed you?" He laughed.

Katherine stepped backwards, and tapped her chest to brace herself. What was with him this morning? "Are you drunk?" She asked.

"No... it's 11 AM Katherine, you have to give me more credit. I'm more responsible than that." He stated. 

"Don't smile like that, it's too early for it." Katherine shook her head and walked past him into her office. 

"That's right, since when did you start locking your office? See how you made me wait outside!" He exclaimed. 

"Yet you're perfectly fine." Katherine said. "I started getting an annoying visitor, it was required." She said shuddering at the thought of the pimples face resident that had been bugging her for days now.

"Anything serious?" Paul asked, Katherine looked up at him with a warning glare.

"Hey, I didn't say I wanted to do anything. Just... you I'm here if you need me." He winked.

20 years, she had known Paul. But she never grew immune to all his charms. He was incredibly charismatic and to worsen it why did he have to look like that? Paul was without a doubt a player, and it was as if he was blessed with his charms from birth. He wasn't as attractive as some men, like Jason. Jason looks were just out of this world, it wouldn't even be fair to compare. But while Paul was also incredibly handsome, he was nice, and charming. He was someone you could easily be comfortable with and let your guard down when your around him. Even when he wasn't trying he was still... ugh.

"Hey! What are you thinking?" He asked snapping Katherine out of her thoughts.

"Why are you here Paul, I have work to do." She lied.

"I remember a time where we enjoyed each others companies what happened to that?" He asked.

"Do you really want the reason?" She asked, and he nodded. She pulled out her phone from the pocket of her labcoat and showed him a message along with a picture from his mother.

Paul took her phone and when he saw the text he groaned. "I told her not to bother you I promise." He rose his arms in surrender. 

"Give me my phone. So when are you meeting her?" She asked.

Paul palmed his face, "I don't know, today? Tomorrow? Who knows." He said sitting down across from her.

"She's pretty." Katherine commented.

"Yeah" he replied. 

Katherine bit her lips as she watched his nonchalant expression, 'I hope the meeting becomes a disaster' she pouted. 

"Aren't going to sit?" He asked.

"Em." 

"What are you thinking?" He  asked again.

"It's nothing, nevermind." She dismissed it.

Paul frowned, something was definitely bothering her. "I have good news."

"Really? What is it?" 

"I'm not supposed to tell you because Jason doesn't want me to but you look like you need some good news. And I'm always here to lift my best friends mood." He smiled.

Katherine fought the urge to reach across the table and slam his head onto it. Was this the good news? Reminding her that she was in the friend zone? Gosh her life was pathetic, she was a shame to the female race, weren't women the ones supposed to be doing the friend zoning?

"Look be quick with it, I have a lot of work." She snapped.

"Jessie's back." 

Katherine eyes widened and she immediately forgot her current sorrows. "Really? You're not pulling my legs right!" She smiled. "You're telling the truth right?!" She said happily as she sat up in her seat.

"Are you really that excited?" Paul scoffed.

"Of course! Oh my gosh! Let's go, let's go I need to see her. The poor girl must have been through a lot." She stood up immediately.

"Where do you think your going?" Paul asked when he saw her reaching for her purse.

"Where else the penthouse. Aren't you coming? You know on a second thought you don't need to." She said. 

Paul frowned and shook his head at her, "Jason doesn't live in the penthouse anymore and besides didn't you say you has a lot of work?"

"I was clearly lying and besides I can abandon work for Jessie, she like my best friend." Katharine said and Paul harrumphed. "And why did Jason move out of his penthouse?" 

"Did you forget that he's now the chairman of KE holdings?" Paul asked. 

"What does that have to do with anything? Is that the reason he moved?" She shook her head. "I really can't understand you guys. So where does he live now?"

"Honestly I don't have the slightest clue. He probably inform me, he's only moving in today afterall." Paul replied. 

"So I can't see Jessie." 

"No, no you can't see her. Not now at least, but it's a good thing that she's back right?" He smiled.

Katherine grip on her purse tightened and she refused to hold back her frustrations any longer.

"Hey!" She swung the purse and hit him with it.

"What is this?!" Paul yelled in a panicked state.

"Why would you tell me she's back if I can't even meet her or talk to her?" She hit him.

Paul was already up and away from her, using her table to barricade himself from her coming attacks.

"I don't understand, why are you taking it out on me?" He yelled. 

"Who else is there to blame? Just you!" She swung at him again.

"Jason, he's the one keeping her away! Besides it's for the best she bad influence." He stated bluntly. 

Katherine gasped. "Get out, now." 

"What?"  Before he could get an explanation she was already shoving him outside with her tiny hands. 

"Don't come find me until you can take me to see Jessie!" She yelled, slamming the door behind him.

Hannah looked at him in confusion and he shook his head her.

"I'm just as confused as you are. And she says Jessie isn't bad for her." He scoffs.
