(A/N) Thanks everyone for the kind words! I do plan to update this story at least once a week although im finding it hard to resist the urge to update it every time I write a new chapter haha. This chapter and the previous one were a little short so I figured it would probably be a good idea to update! To: Jhenybadefan, thank you so much! I feel honored to be added to your favourites lists!

Enjoy this new chapter and like always please leave a review! :)

Kori's breath got caught in her throat as she looked at the sight before her. She shouldn't be surprised at seeing Richard in bed asleep with two naked women. She had seen it before and he does have a reputation as a playboy yet it didn't make the pain in her heart lessen. Kori glared at the two women sleeping soundly. Shocker, they were bottle blondes and Kori nearly gasped when she saw that one of the girls was her so called arch nemeses, Kitten. Katherine aka Kitten has been making Kori's life hell since school so to see her draped across Richard like some hussy made Kori feel like her heart was being ripped in half. Kori narrowed her eyes and stomped over to the curtains and wrenched them open. She smirked with satisfaction when she heard Kitten screech at the sudden sunshine that poured through the windows.

Kori turned to the two women and with a voice that was so sweet she even made herself sick she said "Well ladies, it is time for Mr. Grayson to prepare for the day so if you would be so kind as to grab your clothes and leave that would be fantastic. There are multiple bathrooms with showers if you wish to clean up and coffee downstairs."

Kitten glared at Kori and then smirked. She turned to Richard who was trying to fall back asleep and whined "aww richie-poo are you going to let HER ruin our fun!?"

Richard took a moment to look at Kitten and then look at Kori. "Leave" he said.

"What! Wh-" Kitten screeched only to be cut off by Richard

"I said leave. I need to prepare for the day, but if you leave your number with Miss Anders I will call you." Kitten smirked and bounced out of bed clearly pleased with his answer.

Little did she know that it was Richard's generic answer and he would most likely never call her. Now it was Kori's turn to smirk.

"I shall send Alfred up with coffee Mr. Grayson." said Kori with a forced smile. Richard frowned as he watched Kori turn and leave the room.

As soon as Kori shut the door she rushed downstairs and into the kitchen to seek the comfort for her ailing heart that only Alfred could provide. She stood there hugging her friend as he rubbed her back in a soothing motion for what seemed like an eternity until she heard someone clear their throat. She whirled around and came face to face with the man she had fallen hopelessly in love with.

His deep eyes looked apologetic as he rubbed the back of his head and said "I'm sorry you had to see that. I should've set my alarm or something."

Kori forced a smile and a chuckle "Oh Richard it's not the first time I've had to do this."

Richard gave her a sheepish smile that melted Kori's heart as he said "Well it's not your job to do that kind of stuff and I'm really sorry you had to see that."

He pulled Kori into a hug and she felt like her knees would give way. She gently returned the hug and felt all her anger and hurt melt away and be replaced with warmth and affection. Unfortunately he pulled away too soon in her opinion and she was force to return to business mode as she heard Richard ask about the day's agenda. Kori pulled her phone out and quickly started rattling off all his meetings for the day as he sat there drinking his coffee.

When they were done working on his schedule and drinking coffee Richard stood to go get ready but he first pulled Kori into another hug and murmured "I don't know what I would do without you." in her ear which caused Kori to pull back and beam at him.

"You'd fall apart." she said with a smirk and a wicked gleam in her eye.

Richard laughed and agreed as he gave her on final squeeze as he went upstairs to prepare for the day. Kori sat down at the breakfast bar with a huge smile plastered on her face as she returned to her coffee oblivious to Alfred's knowing smirk.
