Frost . Please , sit . I'm just here to run an errand for Mr. Snider . " " You're here , so you're a friend . Join us for dinner , " Damian said , motioning for his assistant to get the waiter to bring an extra set of cutlery .

Snider doesn't mind me tagging along as his secretary to make a living . " Seamus was indeed such a smooth talker . Kate's expression darkened behind her polite facade . She thought that he was such a two - faced snake ! " Oh , my . Kate , you don't look very happy , " Lauren remarked , her eyes practically glued to Kate . She caught every twitch in her facial expression . Kate was beyond fed up with Lauren's constant scrutiny . " Eat your food . I'm just a little tired .

" The left side of the table was where the executives conducted business , and the right side was where the rest of the business trip crew chatted . " You , tired ? " Lauren scoffed . " We're the ones running around like crazy , but do you see us complaining about being tired ? You're just a glorified paperweight , and you claim to be exhausted . " It was as if she couldn't open her mouth without tearing Kate down . Kate's patience was wearing thin , and her voice turned icy . " Just worry about yourself , okay ? " " Nope ! " Lauren raised her voice . " Mr. Frost , Lauren's tired .

I'm just feeling a bit under the weather .

It won't affect anything- " she said . Lauren cut her off sarcastically . " Oh , please . Just go back to the hotel .

" Kate was stunned . Lauren had blocked her every move , leaving no room for her to play the victim ! Lauren grinned smugly at her . " What's wrong ? Are you mad now ? Are you done pretending to be the gentle , pitiful type ?

Are you still dreaming of marrying a wealthy man and living the high life ? Listen up - I'll make damn sure that never happens ! " That did it Kate's eyes flashed with something dangerous .
