A Billionaire In Disguise

“Good morning. What are you working on?” Rome mumbled as he stared at Catherine, concentrating on her laptop.

For a moment, she focused on the screen. Then she gazed at him and said, “It took three weeks, but I'm finally finished with my final soft copy for the plans for the ‘Fine wine’ project, and I just send it to the team members.”

A smile crept on Rome’s lips as he got out of bed and approached Catherine. Then he squatted in front of her and softly intoned, “You have been working so hard. I'm proud of you, wife.”

“Really?” Catherine whispered, gazing into his eyes.

For the past week, she had been doubting herself every step of the way, knowing how many people are expecting her to fail, and Rome knew it, even though he didn't talk about it with her.

As he slowly ran his fingers through her hair, he nodded and said, “Yes. How about you take a day off, and we can go out for dinner? I have saved a lot of money from my part-time job. Allow me to take you out.”

“I can't. I have to brief the team on what each person needs to do, and I need to run after the materials we are going to need. Today is a hectic day.”

With a faint smile on his face, Rome sighed and thought, ‘I know. That's why I want to take you somewhere nice to relieve the stress you've been undergoing these past weeks.’

When Catherine saw the trace of sadness in Rome’s expression, she let out a soft breath and mumbled, “How about we schedule dinner for ten o'clock today?”

“Okay. I can follow you to the office, and wait for you to get done with your work. Then we can leave the company together.” Rome said, taking her hands in his.

“Don't you have your part-time job to go to today?”

“I can put in an excuse.”

A look of hesitation crossed her face. Then she beamed at him and said, “Okay.”

At nine o'clock, Catherine and Rome arrived at the company.

They headed towards the elevator and waited patiently for its door to open.

When it did, their gazes rested on Charles, Chloe, Jeff, and Richard.

The three cousins stared at them with nothing but hate in their eyes. Then they walked out of the elevator.

Paying them no mind, Catherine and Rome walked inside, keeping a calm expression.

When the elevator door was about closed, Chloe frowned at her cousin and mumbled, “Good luck because you are going to need it.” Then the doors shut.
