COURTNEY'S POV
As he stared into my eyes, I suddenly had that dreadful feeling that he would somehow recognize me.
Pouring more shots for him, I pushed them to him, wanting him to drink the memory of the night away.
“Go on. So what were your incredible plans for your ex-girlfriend?”
“My plans were top-tier. My target was her companies. At first, it was her body which she gave very easily.” He gave a loud laugh which made me want to take his head, and smash it into the table, “Then I discovered the numerous companies she had which she didn't know how to manage. It was very crazy though. She had companies, but couldn't utilize them the way a man would, so I got her to sign the companies to me, telling her she didn't need to work, and honestly, she didn't even waste any time. She believed it instantly, and stupidly.”
Kent went on, speaking and aggravating the feeling in my chest, and I kept pouring and pouring till his words became slurred and devoid of sense. I recorded every single thing, and when he finally passed out, I took off his shirt, flung it across the room, did the same to his pants, socks and shoes, before taking off my shirt, and skirt, flinging it in that same direction. Yes, it looked like the perfect sex scene where the clothes were strewn aside. Standing over him, I placed smeared lipstick marks on his chest, cheeks and lips, before wrapping myself up in the sheets, sleeping as far from him as I could.

The sun rose, and he was the one who woke me.
“Caitlin?”
My eyes flew open, and I sat up, clearing my hair out of my face, while holding the blankets to my chest.
“Yeah?”
“Did we… do it?”
“What? Wait… you don't remember?” I asked, and he looked around.
“Uh…”
“Are you for real? All that tiger fierceness that you almost killed me with, you don't remember it at all?”
“Why wont I?” He asked, with a nervous chuckle, “I can never forget it. You were quite the tigress too.” He said, and I laughed out loud. He would never know the reason for my laughing.
“Don't tease me.”
“So, do you think we could have a morning quickie?” He asked, but I smiled nastily.
“Only at night. I've got a lot of work.” I said, slipping out of the bed, picking my clothes. I caught him looking at the lipstick marks on his chest, and smiled.
Got you, “As for the girl, send me her resume.”
“Sure.” He replied, and I stepped out the door. First, I checked on the recording I made the previous night, listening to it again to be sure I got every part correctly.
So he had actually approached me for my body. Well, that wasn't a problem. He would apologize, and go on his knees to beg me.
My phone chimed, and I saw he'd already messaged me with the girl's resume. Rolling my eyes, I sent it to the company, with my approval.
I needed Kent to trust me fully, and believe I was purely taken by him. That was the only way to get my companies back.
When I got home, I stepped out, walking to the gates with my hands in the pockets of my jacket against the cold morning air.
David would be pleased at my insane smartness.
However, when I walked into the room, there was someone unfamiliar, seated with David. It was a woman with dark hair in an elegant bun at her nape, draped in jewelries, and clothes that screamed expensive.
She scrutinized me with jade eyes, before finally speaking…
“Finally meeting you in person, Caitlin.” She said, with a deep-seated frown on her face, “I'm Joanna, David's mother.”
