6. The ruined date
It's been three weeks after the encounter and Ronnie was starting to accept that she isn't going to see Katie furthermore. She seemed not to have still resolved with the evidence that there's an individual on earth that's in a face like hers. Not even in the world, she's in the same province as her, same city, and if she's the same town. It seemed so unreal and unrealistic to Ronnie that she chose to relinquish to fate and what it has In store for her.
Katie is fiddling with her phone and glimpsing at the comments she has on the snapshots she broadcasted on Facebook while the maid, Zara spews coffee for her. Zara tries to pour it carefully because, unlike her mother, Katie Is a perfectionist. She brings over the warm cup of coffee toward Katie and staggered on one of Katie's heels she recklessly kept on the floor. The warm coffee spilled over Zara with just a few droplets on Katie's new designer blouse.
Katie stood up abruptly and charged toward the already frightened Zara.
"You daughter of a b*tch" she thunders and charged toward her. "How dare you pour hot coffee on me. Are you blind and stupid as well"
Zara, who seemed scared as hell could only stoop her head low In fear.
"I'm sorry young mistress, I was only trying to pour you a cup of coffee while I slipped because of the heels you kept over there."
"You desperate slave" she sneers. You're not only disrespecting me but also offending me by calling me careless."
And before Zara could defend herself, a thunderous smack was what shut her up. She trembled and flinched in pain. She tumbles to the ground with tears blurring her vision. What she didn't know was that Katie wasn't finished with her.
"Do you know how much this gown cost? Am sure your family can't pay for it that's why you were sent to work as a maid." She put forward her hand to whack her one more time when her phone hummed. She gave Zara a last look before trodding toward her phone.
"Do me a favor and get out of my room. Because if I complete this call and I discover you're still here, you're gonna pay for it or have it subtracted from your salary." She growled and went to pick up her call.
Katie looks at the caller ID and saw an unspecified number. She picked it up at the second ring and answered with her most alluring voice.
"Katie speaking, "
"Lamborghini lunchroom, 3 pm. Don't be late." He said and ended the call.
"Somebody pinch me or I'll think I just died and went to hell." She said frightened.
She wonders why the tremendous Alpha would phone her in person for a date. She then settled for the conclusion that he knows her worth.
"Zara, Zara, where is this damned maid. Zara." She cries out.
After about some seconds, Zara comes inside the room with a panicked face. She thought Katie wanted to continue her punishment on her.
"Yes little mistress, you called for me"
"You'd bet I did. How many hours does it take for your ears to function and for you to know that I called you?" She asked feeling irritated.
"I was doing the dishes as the maid in charge of the kitchen fell sick and the mistress, your mother asked me to do it in place of her." Zara tries to decipher.
"I don't need your justification, go through my closet and find me something catchy to go for a date. Not something to impress, ok?" She said eyeing Zara.
Zara nodded and set to work. A few minutes later, they settled for a white tank top and jeans. Topped with a pink hoodie.
Katie looked at her phone and gasped. It's almost 3 and she is yet to get prepared. She always appears overdue for everything.
A few moments later, she was done and set to go out. It was already 3 o'clock but she didn't mind at all. She picked up her bag, went for her car keys, and started the door. She didn't bother searching for her mother because that woman would be already working by now.
It was 3:30 when she finally arrived at the restaurant. She glamorously emerged out of her car. She looked toward the restaurant and could see it was vacant. She wandered toward the entrance and saw Damon sitting majestically in his chair. She came just in time to see Damon looking at his wristwatch. She walks up to him and smiled seductively.
"Hello, it's my joy to have this prestigious dinner with you." She said and extended her hand for a handshake.
Damon looked at her hand and then looks up at her.
"You're late." He said, sternly.
Katie sighed and scoffs. "I'm a lady as you can see, you don't expect me to keep to time. Besides, I have my makeup to get done and you called not giving me enough time to prepare." She said and made to take a seat as Damon glances amusingly at her.
Katie was seated comfortably on the sit with a triumphant smile on her face. A waitress arrives at their table with a smiling face. She was a young lady of about twenty-two. Round face and straight legs. Lush skin and could easily pass for a model.
"Welcome to our restaurant, what would you like to order?" She asked politely.
Katie looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure you're a waiter here and not a seductress? "
The waitress's eyes jutted out. "Excuse me?"
"Just asking, no damage in asking a question "
Damon stares at Katie in disapproval. "I know you're being spoilt rotten by your parents, but do you have to bring it out here as well?" He asked, obviously trying to hide his anger.
Katie looked at him like he was saying the silliest thing she'd ever listened to in the whole galaxy "what are you saying? I shouldn't do what I want or what." She asked.
He signaled the waitress to go back.
"Why are you sending her back? I haven't even ordered anything and I'm starving." She whined.
"If you are so hell-bent on getting something to eat, you can as well order and eat by yourself. You'll hear from me soon. Am out of here." Damon said while getting up from his sit.
"I don't understand, are you going or what? I thought this was supposed to be a date?" She asked again.
Damon just looks at her, smirked, and started walking out, Alan, his assistant, trailing behind him. Only stopping once to give Katie a look of pity as if she'd just tapped on the great Alpha's bad books or something.
Katie is still seated on the chair as she watches Damon's car drive roughly through the driveway. She stood up barely and got up, using her eyes to search for the waitress who had wrecked her date. When she couldn't find her, she angrily took her purse and vacated the restaurant.
