... Jude dart his gaze to Anderson who had a satisfied smirk on his face."What happened?" "Nothing," Anderson chuckled and turned away, walking towards the recliner. "You have that smile on your face and I know you've done something, Anderson. Did you make her cry?" "More like made her pleased. I don't make women cry, Jude. I just sometimes can be brutally honest." "So, what happened at Hawthorne's?" "I'll tell you but first, you've gotta do something for me." Anderson grabbed his shirt and met Jude at the entrance, they head out together. "Shawn?" He signaled to a guard who ran up to him, "call the repairman, the pool door needs fixing. Also, get my wife's phone from the car and take it to her in her room." "Yes sir," Shawn walked away. Anderson and Jude arrived at his study room and he locked the door. Jude crossed his arms, standing across him with an inquisitive look on his face. "What do you want?" "Are you familiar with the CEO of Empire hotel?" "The same hotel wher

...Anderson grabbed the spare laptop in his office lobby, connected the USB, and scrolled through with the cursor for the footage. Being the only file on the USB, he clicked it open and played the video. It started from the moment Katherine walked into the room, being closely followed by James.It went on for a few seconds and Anderson tapped the volume key continuously, glancing at Jude with a grimace, "Why is there no sound?" "There was a problem with the footage. The hotel wasn't interested in the sound anyway, but you can fix it if you want?" Anderson nodded and his eyes went back to the screen. Watching. Waiting. Hoping. With the postures and gestures, Anderson could tell Katherine was truly trying to convince him. It was something he was familiar with.On two occasions, he saw her express shock and he figured it might be from James's revelation to her concerning Renard's suspicions. But Anderson wasn't bothered about any of that at that moment, so he kept watching and not tr

Anderson was still before Katherine on one knee by the time she lowered the phone from her ear, her eyes lighting with an emotion he couldn't decipher. For a moment, she lowered her gaze; unable to utter a word. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She asked, fiddling with her fingers."Why does it matter?" "Because I-" Katherine pursed her lips, heaving a sigh, a bustle of relief jumping in the pit of her stomach. "I thought you were a murderer. A psychopath. I thought I was wrong about you, you should have said something." "You don't know me," Anderson reminded. "But I know you're not a murderer. I wasn't wrong about that one, right?" Katherine wasn't aware of the smile that formed on her lips. Anderson nodded. She was happy. She hadn't smiled at him since the function, he hadn't torn out any expression from her except one that depicted rage. He had seen her cry for James, watched her sob like a kid because she thought James was dead. Now, she was smiling over a simple phone call.

...Anderson was surprised when Katherine didn't push him off or make any attempt to stop him. Her knees remained soaked into the ground as his fingers slid into the waist band of her panties. Brushing against her cunt, Katherine froze as a delicate sensation overwhelmed her. He was still undressing but her pant was already soaked in juice. She started to clamp her thighs when his finger brushed her core again, but Anderson separated it. She shut her eyes and exhaled sharply as his hands loosened the material and pushed it down. The pant was now hanging around her thigh, when he grovelled beside her on his knees; drew her waist up until her back was arched to his comfort and slid his finger with a hungry force into her, his other hand wrapped around her waist. Katherine gasped, arching her back even more as though enabling him the permission to explore her as much as he wanted. He didn't need her permission anyway, but for a second he thought she was going to struggle for a while.

...."Anderson wait.." Anderson yanked his hand from Jude's grip, "no, Jude. Don't fucking try to convince me. This is all over! There's no way, I'm serving as a caregiver for that backstabber!" "He's a backstabber alright, but this is your only way out of a future court case." "Do you not get it, Jude--"I do! But you asked me to help you and that's exactly what I'm doing. It's just for a few days, and I know you can do it, Anderson. Isn't Horatio launching a big project soon? Do you think having a court case at a crucial and vulnerable time like project Alexander, is a good move for Alexander's success?" Anderson shut his eyes and heaved a sigh, it annoyed the fuck out of him knowing how right Jude was. He had never craved to be right so badly in his life..."The elite invested in project Alexander, Anderson. Top business people put in their resources for the success of that project, they trusted Horatio with their shares and money. Do you not think being involved in a court cas
