He sighed and stared at her again, she hadn't shifted her attention for a bit.

"What are you not telling me? What's going on? Can I help?" She questioned theoretically, and Kelvin scoffed. A faint smile spread across his face, revealing a tender gaze.

He ran his finger on her hair and pulled her closer to his chest. He kissed her hair, and patted her back carefully.

"You're already helping sis, you just don't know it," he whispered in her ears, and she felt relaxed. She smiled happily, it had been a while since she had such a moment with Kelvin. They remained still, and silence filled the air.

He didn't pay attention to whoever entered, believing it was Pamela. His gaze hung heavy on the file, till a familiar voice spoke up."How is your day going?" She said, and he paused.

    "Shhh! Shhh! It's gonna be OK. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come around soon enough." Pamela said, hugging Katherine tightly to herself. Her expression conveys a deep sense of sympathy for Katherine's situation, even though she had not been making things easy for Katherine either. A thought struck her mind, and she cleared her throat. She broke the hug, and her tender gaze fixated on Katherine's."But why would you do it in the first place? I mean you were married. And from the look of things, I think you guys were happy. Why did you betray his love?

What were you thinking?" Pamela's voice echoed in the office, and Katherine sniffed in and wiped her tears. Her face had gone pale. With a downcast gaze, she spoke to Pamela who was waiting to hear her defense."It's a long story, Pame
