Femme Fatale: The King's Deadly Temptress

Chapter 63: Damien & Katherine's A game

Cafe across the Crown Resort Group

"All you have to do is talk to him," Emma said before she took a bite of pastry.

"Yeah, like that's so easy to do." Katherine rolled her eyes. "What am I even going to say? Hey, Boss, mind explaining what that kiss was about?" She scoffed before she sipped on her hot chocolate.

"Why was it so quick and without even a tongue action~" Emma sang her words, earning a slap on the arm from Katherine. "Aw!"

"Not funny."

"Yeah, but you wished for it. Didn't you?"

Katherine lazily laid her head on the table and looked out the window. Seeing the people walking outside and going about their day, she wondered if there was someone out there who was in the same boat as her. 

"Okay, serious question," Emma started and stared at her friend before she continued, "Let's say... you and your boss will have a conversation later. What will you tell him?"

Katherine shrugged and Emma sighed, "Okay, how about What if he tells you that he likes you and wants to be in a relationship with you. What are you going to do about it?"

She shrugged once again. She obviously liked Damien but to be in a relationship with him, was that really possible for the two of them? "Does he even like me that much to be in a relationship with me?"

"I don't know, Kath. He's the only one who can answer that and the only way to find out is to talk to him. But even without asking him, I'm sure you have already realized it by now, haven't you? You're not that stupid, Katherine. Though you sometimes make stupid mistakes, you're not that dumb."

"Do I even want to be in a relationship with him?" She wondered out loud.

"I don't know, Katherine, do you?" Emma returned the question to her friend. 

Katherine was actually afraid because she had never felt anything like that before. And she was still not a whole person given the fact that she could not remember a huge chunk of her life. Everything was just too surreal for her and she did not have a lot of confidence in herself.

Just as she was thinking about all of this, a familiar car passed on the road and parked in front of their office. "I need to go, Ems." Without thinking twice, Katherine grabbed her bag and walked out of the cafe. She crossed the street and hurriedly caught up with Damien who just got out of his car.

"Boss!" She called his attention.

Damien turned to her direction and saw her panting. He walked towards her and wondered what happened, "What's wrong? Where have you been?"

"I I" she waved a finger across the street, pointing the cafe where she came from.

"Okay," Damien nodded, "Why did you run?" 

"I We Earlier"

Damien could guess what she was about to tell him so he patiently waited for her to finish her words. And honestly, he was curious as to how she was going to address what happened earlier.

"You and I We need to" Katherine's eyes darted to the side when she noticed a familiar person from a distance. She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to the side as though she wanted to make sure of who she was seeing from afar. 

"Steven" she muttered, seeing the man standing several meters away while he was smoking a cigarette.

Confused, Damien followed her gaze and saw who she was looking at, "Who is that?"

Katherine's expression suddenly turned dark and Damien felt the hair on his back stand when she said, "The man I'm going to murder."

As soon as she said those words, she kicked the ground and sprinted towards the man. "Steven!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

Damien was shocked upon seeing her reaction that his body naturally jolted after her, "Katherine!"

Hearing his name from the side, Steven snapped his head towards the voice and his eyes almost popped out of its sockets when he saw Katherine running towards him. "F*ck!" He threw his cigarette to the side and started running away.

But if he thought that Katherine was going to give up if he runs faster, that's where he was wrong. Despite wearing heels, Katherine did not slow down as she chased the man down with all of her strength.

Although he did not understand what was going on, seeing as Katherine was determined to chase the man, he could only run after the two of them.

"Kath! I'm sorry! Please let me go!" Steven yelled as he was running.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Don't let me get my hands on you or I will kill you! Get back here!"

"Aaaahhh!!! I'm so sorry!" 

The crowd watched as they ran on the street market with different fruits and vegetables being sold. Damien caught up with Katherine who was already slowing down as she was running out of breath. "Who is this guy?"

"Stop asking! Just Just get him!" She shouted as she stopped to breathe and Steven halted when he noticed that Katherine stopped chasing after him. They were only a good few meters apart and Steven was also already panting.

Seeing the man had also stopped, Damien locked his eyes on him. He grabbed an apple from a crate on the side and without hesitating, he threw it straight across the man with brute force. 

Steven managed to turn around but he swayed to the side when the apple hit his head. "Aaaah!" He winced in pain and he could not believe how painful it was. He shook his head to clear his vision and was about to escape but Damien had already caught his shoulder. 

Damien clamped his hand on it so hard that Steven yelped and knelt down on the ground. He flexed his neck from side to side and loosened up his tie as he said, "Don't even try."

Katherine arrived and looked down on Steven with a wicked smile. "Hello, Steven."

"Kath" Steven laughed and cried, "Please don't kill me." He pleaded with his hands pressed together. 

"Oh not yet. Don't worry, I will torture you first before I kill you." Katherine spat without thinking. Glancing to the side, she grabbed the knot on Damien's tie and with one swift move, she swiped it off of him and briskly tied Steven's hands together. "You're not going anywhere until I beat the crap out of you, Steven." 

Damien could only watch her. There were so many questions in his head but he did not know what he was going to ask first.

A white Jaguar parked on the side and Markus got out of the car carrying a briefcase with him. "Boss," he said. Damien only had to nod to the side and Markus already knew what to do. Markus started talking to the vendors and gave them white envelopes with cash inside.

While Markus was busy giving early Christmas gifts, Damien and Katherine brought Steven inside the car and went back to the office by entering the underground parking area.

The supposedly normal afternoon started from the chaste, unexpected kiss and ended up with Katherine and Damien chasing Steven on the streets. With such an eventful afternoon, would their day end up okay?
