Both Katherine and Robert returned back to the ballroom. They walked over to their friends.  All of them were pretty busy talking and eating. At that point, Christopher joined them as well. He was invited on the behalf of Robert.

"Hey Robs! Where were you all this while! We were having a debate on where would the two of you be!", he began to laugh. Everyone joined him in laughing. Katherine began to blush. She wanted to excuse herself from the scene but Christopher stopped her.

"Katherine!", he yelled at her.

"Yup!", she tried to smile at him.

"It's time to dance! Could we dance together?", he asked her.

Katherine looked at Robert. He gave a slight nod indicating that she could dance with his best friend.

"Oh look at this! Katherine needs to get permission from her overprotective boyfriend!", he began to laugh.

"Christopher! You've changed so much ever since the last time I met you.", Katherine was laughing as well.

"I didn't change at all Katherine. Someone changed me. Someone that is special to me changed me.", Christopher began to day dream.

"Who is that lucky girl? Oh wait! Let me guess! Is it your girlfriend, Charmaine. Who else could it be!", Katherine exclaimed.

"Maybe, maybe not. All I know is that the person that changed me is present here.", Christopher's words caught Robert's attention.

"Who would that person be? Could he be talking about her?", Robert kept thinking in his mind.

"Lover boy! Come back to Earth!", Christopher began to wave his hand vigorously.

"Oh! Why aren't we dancing? Let's go.", Robert tried to divert his mind.

A young beautiful lady came in front of Robert and asked him whether could they dance together. Robert agreed and both of the went to the dance floor. He kept looking at Katherine's direction. she seemed to be having lots of fun. Bother Christopher and Katherine were having a chat as well.

"Katherine, I think your boyfriend is getting jealous.", Christopher mumbled in Katherine's ears.

"Really? How do you know?", Katherine asked.

"That's because he kept looking at us. He seriously does love you a lot. Or maybe he's just too possessive.", Christopher began to laugh.

"You must be kidding me. Actually I will know if he's jealous. He doesn't seem jealous according to me.", Katherine shrugged her shoulders.

"As you say my lady!",'both of them began to laugh.

The party soon came to an end. Everyone began to return home as they were going to have a long day the next day.

********************************************

It was already Tuesday morning. Katherine found herself in an awkward position on the bed. She was still in her gown.

"What happen to me? Was I that tired last night that I couldn't change to my sleepwear?", she mumbled to herself.

She got out of bed and went to take a quick rinse. She then wore a white sati and chiffon short sleeved shirt with a premium full faille skirt.  She combed her hair. Once she was done, she wore a pair of black strapped ballerinas. She then picked up her black 
lapalette amber muse mesh mini bag and her books.  Once she was done she wore her black blazer.

As soon as she went down, she saw her family and friends having their breakfast. She greeted everyone in general and say for breakfast. Katherine saw Jacqueline. She was wearing a acid floral off shoulder midi dress. This made Katherine to laugh.

"Jack! You're going to school and not a party! Why are you wearing this?", Katherine asked her.

"I've explained to her countless of times but she's not listening to me.", Jeremy exclaimed.

"I'm wearing this for a reason. Your boyfriend's good for nothing friend challenged me. He said that I'm not sexy and I only wear low
standard clothes despite being born in such a rich family. So I need to prove that idiot today!", Jacqueline was getting angry.

"Jack you don't need to take his words seriously. He loves playing pranks on people. He even played pranks on me. So just don't take it seriously.", Katherine began to explain to her.

"Okay fine. I'll go and change then.", Jacqueline woke up and walked up to her room. She changed into a collection boat neck printed shift dress. She then went down to the car.

"How is this now?", Jacqueline asked her friends.

"Fantastic! Let's go. We're getting late!", Katherine smiled at Jacqueline and pulled her into the car.

"Katherine, later in the evening we have a meeting to attend, actually right after school. So would you want to go home or straight to the office?", Ryan asked her.

"Well, I think we would go straight. What time do you end school?", Katherine asked Ryan back.

"Oh! We both end at different times so why don't you and Robert go first. I'll check up with you all after school.", Katherine said. Ryan nodded. 

********************************************

They ended the day quickly. Katherine and Robert didn't met each other ever since last night. He wanted to meet her desperately but was not able to.

Robert was on his way to the car when Ryan called him.

"Robert!", Ryan ran in Robert's direction.

"Yup!", Robert turned towards Ryan.

"We are to go to the office together. Is it fine with you?", Ryan asked him.

"Yeah why not! Let's go.", Robert began to sit in the car. Ryan joined him as well.

"How about Katherine?", Robert asked Ryan.

"Oh! She said she will come herself after school.", Ryan was busy looking at his phone.

"Who are you chatting with? Your girlfriend?", Robert began to laugh and made fun of Ryan.

"I don't have a girlfriend. Even when I fell in love with that girl, she rejected me. So, I don't bother having one.", Ryan shrugged his shoulders.

"I seriously very sorry bro! I didn't know you're still single. But it's quite weird to see a 19 year old without a girlfriend. Maybe you should one as well!", Robert suggested.

"No I'm fine single. I don't want to face another broken heart. It's not worth bearing.", Ryan tried to smiled but was unable.

"It's okay bro! One day you will fall in love with a girl.", Robert smiled at Ryan.

They soon arrived office and went up to John. He was busy entertaining some clients.

"Hey kids! How was school?", John and Mark asked them.

"Great! Are we late for the meeting?", Robert asked.

"No. We haven't even begin yet. We're waiting for Katherine. Where is she by the way?", John asked them.

"She has classes and said she will be coming later.", Ryan explained to John.

"I think I should let her know that she shouldn't come. She would feel exhausted.", John said.

Josh took out his phone and message Katherine.

"Then let's began the meeting.", Mark added.

********************************************

Katherine came out of class and saw the message her father sent.

"Jack! I'm not going for the meeting. I'm need to get ready for my date! Could you get me ready?", Katherine asked Jacqueline.  

"I'm sorry darling. I need to go on a date with Jeremy as well. Don't worry, you can get ready!", Jacqueline explained to Katherine.

"Okay then. I'll hire a cab and go home. Both of you take the car.", Katherine smiled at her best friend and walked to get a cab. 

As soon as she went home, she went to look for a great outfit to wear. She didn't wanted to wear a dress like the previous time. She wanted to wear something casual and beautiful at the same time.

She then saw the perfect outfit. She wore it on. It was a pink Zalora premium cold shoulder double layer playsuit. 

"Hmm... This looks good enough. At least he wouldn't scold me like how Jeremy scolds Jack!", Katherine began to laugh.

She then wore a pair of neon yellow Rubi jade plimsolls. Once she was done, she took a selfie of herself and posted it on the social media. She then decided to ask Darren what time he would pick her up.

He then replied her that he would pick her up in 10 minutes. He was dropping Ryan only as John wanted to work till late night.

As soon as he came, Katherine went down to wait for him. Once she came down, she saw Robert's jaw dropped and Ryan laughing.

"I told you she has changed a lot!", Ryan mocked Katherine and gave a high five to Robert.

"Yea a lot!", Robert began to laugh.

"You said you wanted it to be the same like our old date right?", Katherine asked Robert. She looked as if she was going to cry.

"Can you see what I'm wearing. I thought to bring you to a restaurant this time and this isn't decent enough to be worn to a restaurant.", Robert began to laugh.

Katherine was upset and stomped into the house and ran up to her room. She began to cry.  She didn't liked to be teased or mock.

Suddenly, a smirk appeared on her face.

"I think I must teach Mr Robert his lesson. Revenge time!".

Something interesting right! The twist will appear in two to three chapters time. Don't worry! The twist wouldn't be so bad! 

For now, I want to let you know that this is an early update because I'm going to be busy the entire week and tell next week. I'll try to update the book on next Saturday on Sunday.

For now if there's any question regarding the book you can write it down in the comment column.

Thanks!
