Kate was silent, drinking her wine, when Savannah said to the ladies at their table, “1 don’t know. Alina You should just let the man do the pursuing I haven’t seen Carlos chase any tennis players Maybe he already has someone special

Savannah earnestly felt bad for Kate She invited her to their table, only to listen to her colleagues’ yearns for Carlos Ronaldo. She turned to Kate, asking. “You okay?”

Kate nodded and tried to change the topic She said, ‘I saw your game during the quarterfinals. It was a

good match. You were competing with —

“Me,” Maria said. “And yes, I agree. Savy gave me a hard time.”

“So, Kate, how did you get the modeling job? I mean, any girl would kill for that job?” Hannah asked, still unsettled at how Kate got close to Carlos,

“1. I worked for Carlos’ company, and that was how I got the modeling job.” Kate told part of the truth. and then she smiled.

“If that’s the case, what are you doing here? Alina chuckled. “Please don’t tell me, you are one of those fans that follow around Carlos? Because there are way too many of you. The competition is not getting any narrower”

“Except he never cares about them, right?” Savannah said before turning to Kate. “He doesn’t give them any attention”

Why were you talking to her like she needs to know that?” Hannah asked Savannah, but before she could answer, Kate cleared her throat

1 am a fan of The Devil, but my coming here somewhat involves business,” Kate answered

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” Everyone turned their attention to the stage Carlos Ronaldo spoke Thank you for your time and for supporting the Wimbledon Championships. It has always been my aspiration to win Wimbledon again, the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament considered the gentlemen’s game”

“Shhh quiet, everyone My man is talking.” Hannah claimed

Alina, on the other hand, rolled her eyes. She said, “Dream on, Hannah.”

“I love the way he talks It’s so sexy for me,” Hannah said.

“And he doesn’t even realize how he is charming everyone.” Lina suggested

While the ladies pralsed Carlos, Kate paid attention to his speech She smiled unwittingly at his tale. He spoke of his past tournaments and how tough it was to win the Wimbledon Championships She nodded in acknowledgment, for Carlos was best at playing on the hard court Wimbledon was a grass court ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She giggled through the times when he spoke of his mistakes, for she knew them well Kate may have watched him on the TV, and despite how they were apart, she still secretly supported him.

One day, I’ll have those arms wrapped around my whist,” Hannah suggested before biting on her lips

Uirgggh God, he is just so handsome,” Alina remarked “The best part of him is his being mysterious Dan you

Alina said to Kate with a smirk, You clearly like The Devil.”

Hannah laughed and said. Take a line. The queue is very long.”

“1 swear to god, you guys are embarrassing me,” Savannah said, shaking her head. “You don’t even know who you are talking to!”

What? She was ogling at Carlos like she was in a dream. Sorry Savy, but your friend clearly has a serious crush on Carlos.” Alina suggested

You were ogling at him too.” Savannah pointed out. She turned to Hannah and said, “You too **

“Last I checked, it’s not a crime to stare.” Kate announced, asking for another wine refill on the side After gulping down her second glass, Kate has had enough. While she forced a smile, deep inside, Hannah and Alina slightly irritated her. It was unnecessary to single her out.

“Sorry, Kate.” Alina giggled it’s just that you seemed in denial earlier, but clearly, you like him the way we do. maybe even worse.”

The truth was, Hannah and Alina felt threatened Kate was working for Carlos’ company, and she also posed with him to promote RonaldoPlus. Alina particularly thought Kate looked elegant and had a beautiful face to show off She guessed there was more to Kate than what it appeared to be, and a hint of jealousy crept into her heart

“It’s fine,” kate responded to Alina She was ready to get up when she locked eyes with Carlos He had already walked down the stage and was now walking toward her ‘Is he walking in my direction?

However, because their relationship was a secret, she averted his gaze and said to Savannah, “I’ll go back to my sister. I’ll talk to you later”

“Hi, Carlos! Nice of you to join us! Your championship game was just superb, by the way. Loved it!” Alina remarked

“We should celebrate with a drink after the party. Carlos,” Hannah suggested

Hearing Alina and Hannah Kate turned around in shock Carlos was staring right back at her

“Oh right she works for your company. right Carlos? This time, Hannah sought

Crickets The Devil did not acknowledge it. He only had his eyes on Kate

Standing up, Kate struggled to say, “Um.”

“How many glasses of wine did you drink?” Carlos asked her outright. Finally. The Devil Spoke

Kate’s brows met, utterly bemused Still, she reluctantly replied, “Two Only two.”

1 see “Carlos answered, thought you drank more You look red.”

“Not because of the win, but because of the girls’ questioning me,’ she silently answered

How nice of Carlos to be concerned about his employees,” Alina commented, but while she said it to put a label on Kate her forehead creased at the oitention the new girl was getting

Finally, Alina got the attention she sought Carlos planced at her, saying, “Kate is not my employee

The Devil nodded. As soon as Carlos and Kate’s hands touched, Hannah asked, “So, Carlos, who is Kate to you?

Looking at Kate’s blue eyes, Carlos replied, “Kate is… my girlfriend and a co-owner of my company.”

Within the same table, jaws were dropping, and eyes were bulging Whispers of rebuttal evidently followed, and Kate felt the burning stares on her back i

“What?”

“She’s Carlos’ girlfriend?”

“Is this real? No way”

“Yes, it’s real,” Carlos shot back. There was never a Hailey. It’s only Kate.”

Hearing Carlos’ remarks, Alina’s lips twitched. Hannah’s nose flared. The other girls at their table paled. Only Savannah was smirking.

Meanwhile, Kate’s lips thinned into a smile. She was looking at Carlos’ grey eyes with many questions in her head. She did not know why the sudden change in their status, but she certainly hoped it was for

good.

As they walked to Carlos’ table, Kate’s face burned, and the heat reached her ears. She walked hand in hand with The Devil, and as they sat, Alexander Winked at her. From the other table, her sister gave her a bright smile.

She leaned against Carlos, asking, “Is this for real?

Carlos put an arm around her and pecked on her cheek, answering, “Yes… Guillaume Bonnet is dead. No more hiding,”

When The Devil saw the delightful expression on her face, he decided to spoil her happiness, reminding her, “You are still going to get punished, by the way.”

“What – what form of punishment do you have in mind? She whispered into his ear. A chuckle left her lips. and she suggested, “Is it the kind where I get tied up in bed?”

“No,” Carlos replied. He pressed his lips to her ear, saying, “No sex for one week” Kate’s mouth sell to the floor.
