"Come in…"

With that, Kat strutted into the study of W. W. Hale the Fifth. He was sitting at the table, as always, looking incredibly hot. Wait, did she just said that her boss was hot? Scratch that. Anyways, he was there just like any other day, looking through the proposals deciding on which to get approved and which to be improved on with a coffee by his side.

"Any appointments today?" He said, while peering at the petite lady with a file still in his hands.

Looking at her iPhone's calendar, she said, "you do not really have an appointment today, but you need to attend a function hosted by Mr Ryan at 7 at the Shang Ri La hotel, which I had helped you planned everything out but you're just missing a date."

"Well, as for a date, I should not have any problem with that."

"Really, then I must really get going as there are other preparations to be made." Kat turned around, back facing Hale and started sliding across the floor towards the door. Just as she placed her right hand on the door knob, she felt her right wrist warmed. Well, technically, someone just wrapped his hand on wrist… Hale's. Startled, she turned around, only to find her facing the handsome yet successful young man.

Their faces were a mere inches apart and she could feel his warm breath on her skin. Heat was radiating off her body as she blushed. Just when she thought nothing else could have happened, Hale pulled on her wrist lightly, causing her whole body to move forward. Hale's arms were wrapped around her in an embrace.

"Hale… I… I… What are you doing?" She asked, not knowing what was going on. After working with him for 6 months, she still had no idea what's going on in his mind.

"Kat, would you do the honors of being my date tonight?"

Upon hearing that, she felt her face flushed even redder than before, if that was possible.

"I … I…" She stammered, not knowing what else to say, things caught her by surprise the whole day. It was only 8 in the morning and strange things were happening to her. First, Hale hugged her. Second, this. She had no idea if she wanted to be his date. Sure, he was hot, charming yes. And sure, he was successful with lots of girls swooning over him, but he's her boss. If things went wrong tonight when she agreed, how would it affect her career?

Knowing that Kat was caught in a dilemma, Hale tightened his grip on her. "I know you want to Kitty Kat… and come on, help me out with this, how could I look for a date within the next few hours, and I still have lots of proposals to approve off. Just help me this once."

"But … I… Fine." She reluctantly agreed, since he made a good point there.

He loosened her grip on her and holding onto her wrist, he pulled her out of the room into the parking lot of his mansion where his red Ferrari was. "We have only a few hours to make you presentable to be my date, so we're going to get you a dress, do your hair and get some professional makeup."

Kat protested. "But what about your proposals?"

"Proposals could wait, you're all that matters." With that, Hale blushed a little but it disappeared as soon as it was there. Luckily, Kat was too dense to the extent to know what he was intending to say, well, that's for the best for everyone. How he wished Kat was feeling the same way towards him the same way he was feeling for her.

With that, they sped off to the boutique.
