Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 16

*Kat's POV

I took everything needed for the presentation from my desk and headed towards our meeting room. It

had an enormous table in between the room; I think at least 20-25 people can be seated I was to

nervous each time I got here to bother to check how many people can be seated but I think my guess

is quite correct by looking at how big the table is. Upon entering the meeting room to the left is the

projector and table set in front of the door through which we enter is the walls has small modern arts

hanging with so many space between them giving the viewers the feeling of liveliness because of

pictures.

As I entered the meeting room, I saw two blonde heads running around the table making sure

everything was set for the meeting.

“Cassy Rayna, are you two in charge of setting things today? Now I am perfectly sure of us getting the

deal.” I said while heading towards the stand, passing Cassy.

“Hey Miss perfect we both are stuck doing these stupid chores. I wish I was in my cabin gawking at that

handsome man.” Cassy said with a dreamy look in her eyes. Cassy was known for two things. One the

‘News reporter of designing department’, she either gets some gossip or says some gossips making

any secret in our department known within seconds. If you have a secret which no one knows about or

has no chance of being known don’t worry without making you speak she will know what the secret is

and the highlight is the second she knows the secret the next second the whole company will know it

but she shares nothing of her best friends and that’s the reason why I and Richard hasn’t been kicked

out of the company yet for fooling around during work hours. Second ‘her eyes for men’, she has an

excellent taste in men but hasn’t been in a relationship yet she doesn’t believe in true love it seems,

she always gawks openly at guys with no shame. And don’t even ask me how we became friends.

“Cassy be careful the guy you are mentioning is the CEO of Waynst Ltd.” Says Rayna catching my

attention.

“What? The CEO himself has come to see our design. Oh, no.” I said nervously.

“Impossible he rarely goes to any meeting, he calls for meetings in his office. It’s said that he is too

cocky, rude, cold CEO that one harsh look from him makes you wish you were dead.” Says Cassy

increasing my nervousness. I have done many presentations but still I have stage fright and with

Cassy’s words I wish I never accepted to handle this deal.

“Cassy!! Shut up, don’t make Kat more tensed than she already is.” Says Rayna coming near me to

soothe me.

“But I must say, he is soooo handsome no wonder he has different girl in his bed every night.” And

there goes Cassy’s dreamy look.

“Gosh!! Girls do your work and get out of here before chief comes up here and starts her shoutings.” I

said. Speak of the devil and she may come. It was if someone was waiting for me to say those words Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

she came inside bursting through the doors.

“IS NOTHING READY HERE. WHAT ARE YOU GIRLS LOOKING AT MY FACE, GET YOUR ASSES

TO WORK, HE HAS COME.” She shouts, looking at us. Woww the cool chief shouting before the

meeting is the first time. She does shout and scold like any boss but before any presentations she is

soo cool that we think something is wrong with us to be nervous.

“chief isn’t it said that it is a representative from Waynst coming to sign off the deal. Why is the CEO

here?” I ask, looking at her while arranging my stuffs.

“Don’t ask any questions, just be prepared. I too don’t know why it is HE who is here I too am confused.

But the rumours are the building we are to design is his most important one, and that’s why he himself

is here. Anyway, All the best. You can do it and that is why I made you in charge of this project.” She

says looking at me seriously. Wow, to say I am shocked is an understatement. Our chief has

complimented no one before, no matter if it was the best design or if it got us the contract.

We three were staring at her with shocked faces. “Why are you three looking at my face? GO DO

YOUR WORK.” And with that, she exited the room.

“Wow, is that just me or was it a dream that came true? SHE COMPLIMENTED SOMEONE.” Cassy

said, still with shocked face.

“Nope its not just you.” Said Rayna and I at the same time.

And with that we got on to our work. When I was done setting the project, the double doors were

opened and a bunch of suited men came in. Cassy and Rayna were ensuring if anyone needed

anything and after providing things to the men they went and sat at the chair in the back so that if

anything is needed, they could provide them with it.

I took a huge breath in and choked on it as I saw a familiar suited man entering inside the meeting

room with his assistant behind him with a folder in his hands. I felt as if I couldn’t breathe the moment

we locked our eyes. I felt like it was just us in the room and no one was around as I stared at the very

familiar blue eyes as he stared at my hazel eyes. I saw an emotion in those cold icy eyes, but before I

could identify what it was; he returned back to his cold self.

Ryder….

what happened that he changed a lot.. that he changed to being cold and closed off?
