She still needed su mention to Aaron that her relationship was all a roine, but he was nut of the office for most of the day. She was left to work in reports, as well as planning Kylan’s annual trip to Ireland, where he met with several of the overens eieritives of Ross Corgi
She never accompanied him on a trip this lavish, but the thought of the contract. He had specifically stated he wanted her to go withi trips. She thought about how to approach the situation. She decided her best bet, was in text him. He had done at the other night, so could too, rightr

Katrina breathed a sigh of relief that she hadn’t been aware she’d been holding in. She scrolled to her message thread with Aaron on her phone, confirming she would definitely be getting drinks that night
The remainder of her Friday flew by in a blur of buying plane tickets, finishing the reports, and organizing her office. Kylan was particular about how she kept her things, and she wasn’t looking to make him mad, especially not with her new arrangement,
Once her office was properly put back together, she headed down to grab a ride home with Oscar. He had just returned with Rylan in tow, and she smiled at her boss brightly. It was the weekend finally

Katrina flashed him another smile. “Absolutely, sir. Have a nice Friday. She told him cheerfully,
Kylan looked at her strangely, but he closed the door of the car and headed back into the building to finish his own work for the day

She frowned at Oscar. “It’s just for the public. We have a

Oscar nodded. “You know yourself better than I do. I just don’t want to see your spirit be dampened, that’s all,” he explained.
She couldn’t help the feeling of warmth that filled her chest at his work. Oscar often reminded her of her father, but especially during momenta. like this. She made a mental note to call her dad, the next opportunity she had

“Thank you,
“I do, Katrina” Oscar smiled at her once more, the wrinkles near his eyes pulling up as he did.
He dropped her off at home a little while later, and she bid him a nice weekend in farewell. She raced inside, excited to go out with Aaron, and more than ready to let loose.

She drove to her favorite haunt and Aaron parked the car. They walked arm–in–arm into the bar and sat down at a booth near the back. She ordered a glass of wine, and Aaron ordered some kind of fruity concoction she had never heard of
