Prologue
The room was tense with tension. Phoebe was nervously opening and closing her hands unconsciously, while the beautiful blonde smile smugly at her.
No, she's wrong. Cole won't do this to me, Phoebe thought desperately. I know she's trying to hurt me! I won't let her come between me and Cole!
The beautiful blonde was suddenly surprise to see fire heating out of Phoebe's eyes but quickly disguise her face into a smirk again. "I'm sure you'll want to see proof". She then threw pictures across the table, always hitting Phoebe in the arm. Phoebe looks down at the picture and slowly uncurls her hands to pick the first photograph. The beautiful blonde smiles confidently after seeing Phoebe's shocked face and watches as Phoebe snatches up each photograph as if trying to absorb each photo all together. She removes an imaginary flint on her mink coat and gets up from her chair gracefully and drops a few notes on the table and smiles smugly at Phoebe.
"I guess I'll be going. You can keep the pictures by the way". And starts walking gracefully to the door without looking behind . Phoebe continues looking at the pictures and didn't bother answering her phone which was ringing in her hand bag, left unforgotten on the floor.

Cole hears her voice message for the third time, sigh tiredly and finally hangs up. He gets up and walk to the window to see the heavy traffic outside. Phoebe has been giving me the cold shoulder lately. I wonder what has got into her. Have I done something to upset her?, Cole thought worriedly. He shook his head and assure himself that Phoebe has probably come down with a flu and told himself to get back to work. Cole walks back and starts reading a report. After 25 minutes of reading the same line, he throws the report on the table with disgust. He shoves his hands into his hair and snarls when he heard his intercom buzz.
"Yes?," Cole snaps.
Patricia smiles and pats her hair into place. "Cole?," Patricia sang into the intercom, "It's Pat. Can I come in?"
Cole slowly scrub his face slowly down and sigh tiredly and said into the intercom, "Look Pat, now it's not a go-"
"Great! Coming in!," Patricia sang and off's the intercom and without hesitation opens the door into a tired Cole behind a paper covered table. She skips to the side of the table and immediately sits at the side, narrowly missing Cole's finger. She smiles brilliantly at him, while he scowls at her.
" What do you want Pat? I have a bunch of work to do and I have a meeting in..," he looks at his watch, "..in 5 minutes"
"Oh, the budget meeting! I know about the meeting," she smiles slyly and trails her fingers up Cole's arm. Cole lifted a brow in question. Patricia bends down and whispers into Cole's ear. "Why don't we skip this meeting and..," she trails her fingers into his hair and tangles her fingers with it, "..and drop by my house?"
"Pat!," shocked and embarrassed, Cole grips her arm and sets on untangling her from him but she merely tightens her grip on him and quickly plops down on his lap and tries unsuccessfully to kiss him on the lips. " I've waited a long time for this Cole, "she purrs and kisses him on the lips.
"Mr. Turner, everyone is waiting..," Cole's secretary, Penny opens to a red face Cole and a luscious Patricia on his lap. Penny went red in the face and mumbling an apology quickly closes the door leaving Patricia laughing huskily. Patricia gave him a loud kiss and slowly walks to the bar to check her appearance at the mirror. Cole breathes deeply twice and angrily got up and snarls at Patricia.
"What the hell was that?," he snarls.
Patricia blinks at him and smile. "What was what?"
He angrily reaches for her but she skips neatly out of the way. "I'm sorry Cole, I have to go now. But you're gonna regret missing a trip to my house." She steps up confidently to him and pats him on the face. "I'll be seeing you". Mission accomplish. She walks out the room. Making sure she can be seen by everybody in the office, she blow a kiss to him, and breezily walks out the office leaving a confuse Cole in the room.
