Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 42 - Worried For Him

Thinking of him, the tears spilled out of Katherine's eyes. 

" Mommy…shall we go home? I am hungry" he said to his mom. She quickly wiped without Sam's notice.

She looked at Little Sam and together walked to their home. Little Sam ran inside and went to Martin's room. From childhood, they both had good bonding. While Sam was talking about his school and his friends with Martin, Katherine changed her dress and started preparing food for Sam as he was hungry.

She bathed Little Sam and fed the food. She took Sam to the bedroom to sleep. As he was new to preschool. He was tired and drifted to sleep in a few minutes. She ruffled his soft hair looking at his innocent face.

But all her thoughts were filled with Adrian. She evidenced the pain in his heart. But her mouth was glued not to tell the truth. She wanted to hug him to feel some peace but her legs were tied not to go towards him. Being in love and wishing him in her life, she could not do anything. She remained helpless because of circumstances. 

Suddenly the lights in the room were turned on and Ruby walked towards her. She looked at her and asked " Kathie...Why are you looking gloomy?"

" Nothing. Just tired." She lied and laid beside Sam to avoid the conversation. 

She was hell worried about Adrian. She wanted to know where he was and what he was doing now?

Just in time, her mobile was ringing which was on the nightstand. She lazily stood from the bed and looked at the display on her mobile. To her surprise, it was from Emily.

Katherine doesn't understand why she made a call and that too after office working hours. She was scared to attend the call of hers. She doubted whether Adrian disclosed the truth of their old relationship with Emily. 

After gathering courage, she attended the call with trembling hands. As soon as she attended the call, she started shooting the questions.

" Do you know where Adrian is?"

" Why was he not attending the calls?" 

" When did he leave the company?"

After hearing those questions, she was worried even more. 

" What happened to him?" She questioned Emily back.

" You have to answer me. How can I know when I am out of the city? You are his PA, right?" She asked Katherine.

Katherine gulped her throat and her body stiffened with her outburst. 

" Madam, I only knew he left the company during the lunch break and not returned to the company," Katherine answered in a shivering tone.

" What! " She exclaimed in shock.

" What happened...madam?" She asked anxiously.

" He has not been attending my calls since evening. Bye," she disconnected the call.

Katherine's face became pale like a ghost. She prayed to God for Adrian's safety.

…..

….

" What happened? You are looking upset? Who made a call?" Ruby asked, shaking her shoulder.

" It is from the CEO, Emily. She was asking about her fiance." She replied to Ruby.

She raised her eyebrows and asked her curiously, what was going on. Katherine explained everything about the new CEO and the change of her designation except the relationship between the new CEO and her. 

" I think Emily is madly in love with her fiance who is your new CEO," Ruby said with dreamy eyes.

Katherine smiled weakly and turned her head away. She wiped the tears formed at the corner of her eyes. 

" Can you drop Sam every day at school before going to your office?" Katherine asked Ruby.

Ruby looked at Kathie skeptically. Before she asked further questions, she said that she has to go to her work early from tomorrow. 

She placed her hand on Katherine's hand and smiled at her. 

" Sure. Anything for you and Sam" she said.

….

….

The next day, Katherine went to the company in the morning, 8. She was waiting for Adrian.

Half an hour passed but he didn't come to the company. She was strolling worriedly in the corridor waiting for him.

" Hi...Good morning" suddenly she heard David's voice.

She didn't reply to him and ignored his presence. She was looking at the elevator.

" Are you waiting for the cold-hearted CEO who made you work during the lunch break?" David asked her sarcastically.

Katherine felt irritated and said, " It's none of your business. Even if I wait, what is your problem? I am his Personal Assistant" she retorted.

David was taken aback by her harsh behavior. He had never seen her behaving in this way.

" It seems you are interested in the new CEO?" He asked her.

" Do you have any problem if I have interest in the new CEO ?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

They both didn't notice Adrian's presence, till she heard the door opening sound of the CEO's cabin.

" Did he hear our conversation?" thinking she slowly opened the door and peeped inside.
