She did the first thing that came to mind, ducking underneath his desk. Katerina held her breath, hearing his footsteps as he matched towards her.Her heart was beating so fast that she feared he might hear it from where he was.Thankfully, the gods up there listened to her prayers because he only poked around for a while, and minutes later she heard the door closing behind him, allowing her to heave a sigh of relief. However, she waited for a couple more minutes before she crawled out of the desk, glancing around.The room was empty, save for a few scattered paperwork on his desk. Walking towards the door, she pushed it open and then she slipped out, only to dash into the nearest bathroom to fix her hair. Katerina also splashed a little bit of water down her dress. Casually walking out of the bathroom, she collided with Tyler who was also walking out of a room, pretending to act surprised. “Hey, there you are! I've been looking for you.” Tyler exclaimed, drawing her into his arms.“

Melinda walked the way shortly after the brief talk, Giorgio explaining how he wanted things to go what he expected from her.Just hope that she didn't let the newfound power he'd just bestowed on her get into her head, especially when power has a way of taking over people.Luckily, this was not his first rodeo and from the minute she left, he had a couple of people watching her, to brief him on how she spent every second of her day making sure her movements were well accounted for.If Melinda mistakenly thought about pulling one over him, Giorgio would know to put her down before things got out of hand.He lit up another cigarette, placing the other end in his mouth as he sucked down on the nicotine allowing it to fill up his lungs before puffing it out.The rush of this Cuban cigar was extraordinary, which was why he always took his time with one piece. Unfortunately, precious alone time was cut short when there were two raps on the door followed by the entrance of his closest aide

“So where do you want to start?” Amber asked Katerina, folding her arms as she stared at Katerina over her table. “In your fill-out form, you mentioned that you had some issues that you were struggling with, maybe you can start with that.”Katerina looked down at the floor, thinking of what to say. On her way over, she had a whole speech planned with even cues to follow but right now…her mind was blank.“I don't really know what to say,” she chuckled nervously, her eyes bouncing around the room as she shifted uncomfortably on the seat.Amber's eyes were quite intense, almost as if they could see past her shell piercing into her soul. “Why don't we start like this? why don't you tell me something about yourself…anything.”“When you see anything…what do you mean?” Katerina asked cautiously. Amber spread her arms as wide as she could go. “Anything in the figurative sense. Tell me something about you that no one knows…something true.”“Okayyyy…” Katerina dragged the word out, rolling her

“Hey, you!” Tyler exclaimed, pulling her into his arms. “How did it go?”Coming back home to her better half was better than anything she'd ever experienced, digging as she hugged him tighter before pulling away. “Great, it went perfectly and I was able to get a couple of things off my chest, so yeah…terrific!”Tyler moved back so that he could look into her eyes. “Are you sure about that? Do you need anything?”She laid a hand on his arm. “Tyler, I'm fine okay? I think this actually might be good for me.” Worrying her lower lip, she debated on telling him or not before finally going through with it. “I decided to up her sessions from two times a week to three times a week. Is that okay?”“Um …sure.” He looked puzzled. “Remind me why you're doing this again?”She pulled away, walking past him to go to the kitchen. “You know why I'm doing this.”“I do, it's just….you seem different.”“Bad different?” She queried, turning to face him.“No, good different which is great because I don't

Katerina rolled out of bed, covering her mouth with one hand to hide a yawn as she stretched the other over her head.Jumping out of bed, she walks towards the bathroom to take a leak. When she was done, she moved to wash her hands at the sink staring at her reflection in the mirror.She almost couldn't recognize who the woman in the mirror was.The usual dull and ashy pallor wasn't present anymore, instead a vibrant and energetic woman took her place.Between the session with Amber Green and spending more time with Tyler and Eliza, she was slowly recovering the woman that she was meant to be.The only thing that she was putting off was visiting Mom and Dad. She had been spending the past couple of days staring at school pictures and various books that held memories from another lifetime.While she was currently happy, she still couldn't help but feel guilty, as though she was robbing them on some sort of chance.Sighing to dispel each sad thought, Katerina splashed water on her face
