Katherine got the job as the head of secretary in Olsen Groups of Company. Sophia was very happy that she bought a souvenir to always remember this achievement. "Finally, I'll be having the three times' meals with you," Sophia was more than excited. "Exactly what you've always look forward to," Katherine smiled. "Yeah. So now I can rant my admonition," Sophia jumped up like a kid told he would be taken to the amusement Park for the first time. "Hey kiddo, stop jumping on my chair," Katherine said like a strict mom. "Hehehe," Sophia jumped more.
"I'm very excited. You will be resuming on Monday, right?" Sophia questioned mouthful. "You read the mail yourself," Katherine said. "Oh I remember. You will be resuming on Monday. Hehehe, don't mind my forgetfulness," Sophia said. "I should be the most excited one here," Katherine said looking at the overtly excited Sophia. "Yes but I just combined both of us excitement and here we are," Sophia giggled.
"Jake is coming over tomorrow night to take me out," Katherine said. "Bills on him, right?" Sophia asked. "Of course," Katherine responded. "I'm tagging along then," Sophia said. "I told him already," Katherine packed her plate and went to drop it in the sink. Sophia looked at her like she did the worst thing. "C'mon don't be a tina. You will get to know him and at the same time celebrate my success," Katherine said. "No. No. I want to be a tina," Sophia hee-hawed. Katherine laughed wholeheartedly.

Henry led Linda to the restaurant he chosen for the dinner. "What do you want?" Henry asked. "I'm not choosy. I will go for whatever you want," Linda said. "Okay. Do you care for desserts?" Henry enquired. "Yes," Linda responded. A waiter took their orders and it was brought in two minutes. "Enjoy your dinner ma and sir," the waiter smiled at the duo. "Thanks," it was Linda appreciating.
They were halfway through the dinner when Henry began to talk. "I know I said we shouldn't talk about last week's kiss but I can't seem to be forgetting about it soon," Henry said. Linda stopped eating and looked at Henry showing interest in what he wants to say. "You can continue eating," he said. "No. Don't worry. It's not easy for me forgetting about it too. Is this dinner an apology one?" Linda said. Henry smiled nervously and urged Linda to continue eating ignoring her question. He ate his meal too while gathering his thoughts.
He has prepared himself for the worst by still he was nervous. He has never been this nervous in his entire life. Mhen! Wooing a female is heck of a courage. He calmed and composed himself. "I know I shouldn't be saying this but I can't help it. Love is a word that has endless meaning and one can never tell when you'll fall into it. Linda, I love you. I want you as my girlfriend. I thought it was infatuation or crush but over time, I find myself loving you more. Every little things you did always put a smile on my face. I kissed you because I felt irresponsible for not attending your birthday. It's fine if you don't love me as I do but I don't want this to take a troll on our friendship," Henry said at a go using up all his courage. By then, Linda had stopped eating and was staring blankly at Henry.
Henry looked at Linda's face for any expression but it was void of expression. "I'm sorry for dumping this on you. I'm just being selfish," Henry said feeling bad that he already dented their friendship. Love can be crazy sometimes. Linda sighed.
Suddenly, Linda's face lit up and her eyes became teary. "Do you even know how long I've waited for you to say these words to me? Don't you have any idea how much I love you? You made a foolish mistake by leaving after the kiss. You really don't know how much I love you. For making me wait for so long, I won't say yes to being your girlfriend now," Linda ranted. The smug smile on Henry's face can't be wiped away. He just realise how blinded he was not to have seen how much Linda love him too.
"You just said yes indirectly, Linny," Henry grinned. "I got a pet name already. Idiot, I love you and yes, I'm your girlfriend already," Linda said crying. Henry was confused as to what to do. Drey didn't tell him females cry after accepting one's proposal. "Please don't cry. I'm not hurting you," Henry said sounding foolish to himself. "Dude, hug her and stop looking like a lost dog," a guy close by said to Henry. Henry went to sit beside Linda and hugged her. "Comfort her with words," the guy said after seeing Henry look like a moron. Henry smiled and began to say sweet nothings to Linda. There is a lot he needs to learn now that he is in a relationship.

Jake sipped his drink. "Have you employed a new head of secretary?" he asked. "Yes. Stephen interviewed her and she is competent," Mr Olsen replied. Jake wanted to tell him the new head of secretary is Katherine but dismissed it knowing fully well that Dee already consider Katherine a trouble. Jake chuckled. Mr Olsen gave him a questioning look. "Where is Gina?" Jake questioned in a bid to ignore Mr Olsen's questioning stare. "She should be somewhere around the house," Mr Olsen responded. "Forgive her. It's two weeks already," Jake said. "No. The one month will complete before I consider freeing her. She is having a good time here. I'm glad she is abiding by my rules too. You know, that is unlike her," Mr Olsen said.
Jake spent the night at Mr Olsen's place. Jake woke up to meet Mr Olsen working out; he joined him. "Good morning," he said. "Morning beautiful," Mr Olsen replied. "Since when did I become beautiful?" Jake asked increasing the pace of the treadmill. "It's too early to tell you how unhandsome you are," Mr Olsen chuckled. Jake smiled.
After the work out, Jake and Mr Olsen worked in union to prepare breakfast. "Good morning bros," Gina greeted when she came downstairs. "Morning princess, how was your night?" Mr Olsen responded ruffling Gina's already dishevelled hair. "It was awesome," Gina smiled perceiving the aroma of a delicious breakfast. "I love you two. Your wives will enjoy themselves for a long lifetime," Gina said. "Improve your compliment skill," Jake said. "Jake, it's too early for this," Mr Olsen said. Jake grinned from ear to ear. Gina went to have her bath.
"What are your plans for today?" Mr Olsen asked after breakfast. "I will be visiting Jessie late in the afternoon. After visiting Jessie, I'll grab dinner outside with some ladies," Jake responded. "I'll be home all day," Gina said. Mr Olsen faced Gina and said, "I know." Gina bite her lower lips angrily. "Big bro can be very annoying sometimes. I'm sure Bro J's heart is dancing happily," Gina thought. "That gender called females are dangerous. Stop involving yourself with them if it is not for business purpose. Even in business, stride carefully," Mr Olsen frowned. "Dee, you can't continue to be this sentimental towards females. Let the past be the....," Jake was just starting his admonition when Mr Olsen interrupted.

Sophia showered before putting on a red gown. "I'm your ever dashing babe," she swirled in the front of the mirror. "Wait till the real dashing babe dresses up," Katherine said coming out from the bathroom. Sophia giggled and sat at the mirror. She applied mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss. Few minutes later, Katherine was dressed in a short black gown which highlights the glory of her body. The gown has crystal-like beads lined diagonally on the dress. She wore a matching heel. She stood before Sophia who was checking her out.
"If I were a lesbian, you'd be in my bed right now," Sophia said. "Should I take that as a compliment?" Katherine questioned giving Sophia a flirty wink. "Yes except if you really want me to bed you," Sophia responded. "Pervert!" Katherine sat to apply little make up. Sophia laughed and went to select her shoe.
"It's almost time and this Jake we are waiting for is not here," Sophia said. "At least, it is not past time," Katherine said applying eyeliner. "Yeah. I know gentlemen to be always in.....," Sophia was interrupted by a knock at the door. "That should be him. Get the door please while I finish this make up," Katherine said in a pleading tone. "Fine. I'll get the door. I'm the doorkeeper after all," Sophia said going for the door. Katherine stared at her back like what the fuck?!
Opening the door, Sophia saw her shopping bump as Katherine had described the person. who bumps into her at the grocery store. "You again?" Sophia and Jake chorused.
