Memories Of The Night

His arrogance makes Katrina flare-up in a fury.

Last time, Samuel trapped her and pushed her into Melvin"s room. She hasn"t gotten even with him yet. Now, while she"s on duty, he tries to spite her and refuses to let her leave.

Katrina struggles to contain her anger and glares at Samuel. "I"m here on official business, Samuel! I don"t have time to waste on you!"

"Ah? Official business? What business? Attending the guests present?"

Samuel continues to shove his gla.s.s to Katrina in a haughty manner, insisting snidely, "Go and get me another drink! Didn"t you hear what I said? Do it, or I"ll complain about you!"

The commotion naturally draws more and more spectators. It feels very unpleasant to be surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Moreover, Katrina is the person being insulted.

Although Samuel does not feel embarra.s.sed, she feels mortified. But Samuel keeps a tight grip on her, refusing to let go.

Finally, Katrina takes the gla.s.s.

Seeing Katrina compromise makes Samuel smug. He feels triumphant for getting even with her somehow.

But Katrina takes the half-filled gla.s.s of wine and splashes it onto Samuel"s face. "Samuel Anderson! You"re drunk! Sober up and get a hold of yourself!"

After Katrina"s outburst, she shoves the gla.s.s back into his hand before turning on her heel and pus.h.i.+ng her way through the crowd.

Samuel is shocked into silence.

He never expected that Katrina would dare to splash the gla.s.s of wine in his face.

That b.i.t.c.h!

Instead of embarra.s.sing her and making everyone laugh at her, he ends up making a fool of himself in front of everyone.

After Katrina douses him with wine, Samuel finally sobers up. Although he despises Katrina at that moment, he can"t run after her and beat her because of his image.

The Anderson family is a small fry at this celebrity-packed party.

If he is too provocative, he will end up making an even bigger fool of himself. Currently, he"s not only representing himself, but also his family.

It"s more important to clean up at once.

He gnashed his teeth in anger and headed for the washroom.

Katrina runs away to safety. When she sees that Samuel isn"t following her, she stops and sits down to rest.

Just then, a sweet aroma suddenly fills her nose.

When Katrina follows the direction it"s coming from, she sees a table of mouth-watering desserts, fruits, and c.o.c.ktails. The desserts look so appetizing that they must have been made by five-star master chefs.

Katrina hasn"t eaten dinner that evening. She"s been a little hungry since they went on overtime. Seeing the appetizing desserts, the hunger in her stomach intensifies, and her eyes unconsciously lights up.

The desserts look very tempting…

But she"s here on duty, not for dinner. She can"t touch any of these desserts.

Restrain yourself, Katrina persuades herself, looking away from the tempting display of desserts to divert her attention.

When she looks up, she meets a pair of familiar eyes.

Aaron?

How unlucky!

First, she b.u.mps into Samuel. Now, she stumbles upon Aaron.

How difficult can this task get? She just wants to carry out her duty safely!

Aaron obviously notices Katrina. He strides towards her without looking away.

He is surprised to see Katrina on such an occasion. He doesn"t expect to see her so soon.

A moment ago, Aaron saw Katrina"s eyes light up as she swallowed her saliva when she stared at the table of desserts.

Like before, the woman is weak against desserts.

For Aaron, Katrina is his dessert.

No matter how far away she is, he will come to her whenever he sees her.

But halfway to Katrina, Aaron sees her suddenly pale. The terror on her face makes her look like she has seen a ghost. Without a second thought, Katrina stands up and runs away. She doesn"t even glance back to look at him.

In a flash, she disappears into the crowd.

Looking at her retreating figure, Aaron almost bursts in anger. His previously calm face suddenly turns gloomy.

This stupid woman!

Is he so scary that she would run away at the sight of him?

When she left him, he could hardly wait to see her again. He moved his company to Abbe City for her, and it has kept him busy every day. He even arranged for someone to teach Melvin Quentin a lesson to avenge her.

As soon as he sees her, his spirits lift and a smile lights up his face.

But on the other hand, she runs away in fright.

Is Aaron such a nightmare to her, the most heinous man in the world?

Does she hate him so much that she doesn"t even want to see him?

Aaron is prepared to give her the world, but Katrina"s first reaction is to run away from him. How can he not be p.i.s.sed off?

In an instant, his heart becomes heavy with disappointment. He"d rather not have seen her tonight, than be treated like this.

No one else can cause Aaron"s mood to s.h.i.+ft instantly besides Katrina.

Katrina doesn"t stop running until she exits the venue. Outside, she clutches her chest and gasps for air.

Compared to Samuel, Aaron is ten thousand times more horrible.

Katrina doesn"t have the guts to face Aaron. She doesn"t want him to come over and show off his new lover to her.

"Katrina, you"re not that important. I don"t respect you at all. It was just a game."

Katrina can"t imagine such a terrible encounter. Rather than see Aaron again, she runs away.

Just then, Colin"s worried voice comes through the headset. "Katrina? Katrina, where are you?"

Katrina suddenly remembers that she was supposed to meet her partner after rounds. But she ended up coming out alone. Colin must be worried when she doesn"t show up at their meeting place.

Katrina quickly responds, "It"s a bit noisy inside. I have a sudden headache. I came out for some fresh air."

"What"s wrong? Is it serious?"

"Not serious. I feel much better after coming out."

"Katrina, wait for me. I"ll go out immediately."

After doing rounds at the party, Katrina feels a little listless. Probably because of the unpleasant encounters with Samuel and Aaron, she feels exhausted.
