"I hope you had a nice day", Katherine said to her boss as he entered the building along with the brown haired beauty.

"Yes, indeed", George smiled slyly, "Let's meet in the conference room."

Katherine nodded as the CEO passed by her. Katherine scowled but smiled at the brown haired girl.

"I talked to George about that", Gloria said with a weak voice,"George had agreed to help me pay for my father's treatment, but, I told him that I'll pay him back."

"Good", Katherine grinned, "If you ever need help, you ca always contact me."

"Thank you, I'll try my best to find a decent job", Gloria grinned back, "I will be going then, later."

She turned around to leave but, stopped and asked, "By the way, why didn't you come with us for lunch earlier?"

Katherine chuckled, "Well, actually I prefer to eat my own lunch but since Mr. Greywood enjoys his food at restaurants, I feel bad to not give him company. So, I accompany him but this time he already had company."

Gloria giggled at this and said, "I see... Well, I will be going then!" Waving her goodbye, the brunette left.

After the meeting, George discussed with Katherine about the work. Katherine nodded as they walked towards the parking lot.

George sat inside his car and drove off. It was quite weird for Katherine as George had always insisted to drop her at her home. "He's been acting strange", Katherine muttered to herself.

Next day, when Katherine came o the office, she observed people wearing red and similar shades. She went straight to the office and found Mr. Greywood also wearing a red shirt with his suit. 'It seems like I'm the only one who doesn't know what's going on here ', she thought.

"Good morning, Sir", she greeted as she entered.

The brunet nodded and asked her to bring him some files. Katherine nodded and complied. The half of the day was spent working without George's flirting, until lunch time came.

"Let's go", he stated as he walked outside the door and Katherine just followed.

When they entered the restaurant, Katherine observed that it was decorated with all red and hearts. 'Is it Valentine's?', she wondered. They were shown a table of two.

When they both got seated, George handed her a gift wrapped in a red gift paper. "Here, it's for you", he said with his usual smile.

Katherine got baffled, "Wait... why?"

George smiled and looked down, "It's because I...."

"Sir, would you like to make an order?", the waitress interjected.

"Ah...Yes", George stuttered and placed orders  for both of them. Katherine tried to refuse but George ignored all of her protests. The waitress excused herself and left.

"Why are you all of a sudden treating me like this?", Katherine pouted.

George chuckled, "I wanted to thank you, you have been really helpful to me...so I.. wanted you to know that..... I'm grateful."

"Oh", Katherine said, "It's good or else.... I'd have thought you are giving me a Valentine gift."

George laughed out, "It's Valentine's day, so you can also consider that."

Katherine scowled, "I do not like Valentine's day!"

When their meal was served, they ate in silence. After ordering for dessert, he asked the blonde, "Do you like the food here?"

"It's fine", Katherine said as she continued eating.

George smiled and poked the fork at the grilled meat. "I hope you will like the present, Katty", he added.

Katherine's eyes fell on the gift box,"It depends", she said.

After eating the dessert, George paid the bill and they left. During the ride, he asked, "Why do you hate this day?"

Katherine blushed slightly before replying, "I don't think I have any particular reason."

George chuckled, "Maybe one day, you will wait for this day to come."

Katherine rolled her eyes at this and replied, "I'll never wait for a day like this."

When Katherine reached home, she quickly put away her stuff and took a seat on her couch to open the box. She opened the box to reveal the same orange checkered shirt with star shaped buttons.

"But didn't he...?", Katherine asked as she recalled the bag that George had given to his brunette friend.

She quickly took out her phone and typed  message:

Hey, Ed.

 Can we talk for some moments?

The reply came:

Yeah, what happened?

That George gave me a present, 

what's that suppose to mean?

Well today's Valentine's after all.

 Doesn't it means he love you?

Katherine felt herself blushing but she pushed it away.

He said it's because he was being grateful.

Why would he need to be thankful to an employee?

You're right. But he's just a perv!

LOL! 

You can think that but it's just my opinion.

Thanks Ed.

Ur welcome! 

Katherine put her phone away and leaned back on the couch. "What am I supposed to do?", she asked herself.

Next day, George was back to his usual self. "This coffee is too hot", he complained and Katherine just gritted her teeth.

"What am I supposed to do then?", the blonde objected, "Let it cool on the table for a while."

"No, you cool it for me", George demanded.

"I'm not your personal cooler!", she exclaimed but given George's deadly glares, she took the cup and gave one or two blows to it.

"Here, it's all cool now", she said handing it over to her boss. He smiled and took the cup. "Thank you", he said as he took a big sip.

'I knew it! It wasn't that hot in the first place ', she exclaimed in her mind as she started to check the files.

At the lunch time, Katherine reminded her boss of the time, "It's your lunch hour, sir."

George smiled and said, "Why not make an order today?"

"Huh?", Katherine got confused, "Where do you want to make the order from?"

"Wherever you think is best", he said and then added, "Except from that Mounty whatever that place was!"

Katherine pouted but complied. After 15 minutes later, the order arrived. Katherine took out her lunch box as George took a seat next to her.

"Someone said to me that my secretary prefers to eat her own lunch", he said as he started to unpack the package.

"What?", Katherine asked, 'How'd he know?'

"So, from now on we'll eat together here", he smiled at the blonde.

Katherine looked away as she ate her sandwiches. 'What is he up to now?', Katherine thought but relaxed herself thinking at least she can eat her sandwiches now!
