Memories Of The Night 259 Chapter 259: Don't You Dare Refuse

The realization makes her blush harder. d.a.m.n it!

When Randy sees Katrina go downstairs and notices her red cheeks, he knows that his plan worked.

Miss Miller has been in Mr. Wilson's room for a while. Something must have happened, or she wouldn't be so red. She looks like she's just been kissed.

Despite his suspicions, Randy keeps silent as he watches her with a smile.

After a while, Katrina can't bear staying anymore. Patting Beta's head, she stands up and says to Randy, "Randy, I'll go now. Oh, I'm also going back to work tomorrow. Please tell Aaron that I can't come by anymore."

Katrina had only agreed to cook Aaron lunch every day because she is currently on vacation. Starting tomorrow, she will be busy with work. Her usual lunch on weekdays consists of a simple meal. She certainly won't have time to go to Aaron's villa to cook for him.

Randy suggests with a smile, "Miss Miller, Mr. Wilson should be done with work soon. You can tell him yourself when he's done."

Katrina hastily refuses, "No, no, no!" Her cheeks flush, and her heartbeat races at the memory of the kiss.

I can't tell him in person! That petty b.a.s.t.a.r.d would think that I'm just avoiding him because he kissed me without my consent again!

Besides… Even if he's an a.s.shole, I don't really hate him. After he rescued me that night, I know Aaron is a good person. He really cares about me a lot.

When he was at gunpoint, I was more worried about him than I ever imagined. I was so afraid he was going to die because of me. I was so scared I would never see him again…

After that, my hatred for him seems meaningless. I just feel really grateful to him.

But even though he's not my boyfriend, he still keeps taking advantage of me! I can't just suddenly accept him with all my heart!

I need time…

Katrina sighs.

I'm a coward. Even though I can't accept him, it's not entirely because of him.

Katrina gets her bag and prepares to leave. "I just remembered that I have plans to go shopping with Farrah! I really should go now. Bye, Randy!"

Seeing her determination to leave, Randy quickly says, "Miss Miller, it's not easy to get a taxi here. I'll have the driver give you a ride!" With that, he takes out his phone and calls the driver.

Not long after Katrina leaves, Aaron leaves the study.

After his coffee break, he felt so rejuvenated that his efficiency increased in an instant. It only took him less than 20 minutes to finish the rest of the meeting. All he wanted was to get off work and spend time with her.

But after glancing at the living room, he finds only Randy and Beta present. "Where is she?"

"Miss Miller already left, she said she had something to do."

"Left?" Aaron's good mood disappears in an instant.

I finished work in a hurry to spend time with her. Couldn't she have stayed a moment longer? As soon as I kissed her, she ran away without even saying goodbye.

His eyes narrow at the thought. I should handcuff her so she can't leave my side again! He frowns. No, if I do that, she'll run away from me as soon as she escapes. She'll hate me all over again, and then she'll be even more unreachable than before.

I can fix this. At least, I can still keep tabs on her.

Aaron is still seething from Katrina's departure when Randy drops another bomb. "Miss Miller also told me to tell you that she returns to work tomorrow. She won't have time to come over and cook for you anymore."

Aaron's face darkens, and he says tightly, "I see."

Is her vacation over? How did the five days fly by so fast? I can't believe it's already time for her to go back to work!

Although Aaron knows it's inevitable, he is still in a bad mood. I can't see her every day anymore. I can't eat her cooking or enjoy her taking care of me anymore.

She took such a big risk to capture that dangerous criminal, but she only got a five-day vacation? That's not right!

Aaron sighs. No matter how much I complain, a longer vacation won't solve anything. I want to be with her all the time, not just when she's on vacation.

After returning to work, Katrina and the rest of the team who went to Thailand are honored at the station. An awarding ceremony is held to recognize their success. Because Katrina took the biggest risk, and the a.s.signment couldn't have been successful if not for her, the Chief of Police attributes the biggest credit to her.

For her service, Katrina is awarded honorary t.i.tles and gets promoted by three levels. She also gets a big salary increase.

Before, Katrina was an anonymous officer who just joined the force. After her significant role in such an important case, everyone in the force finds out about her great contribution. In this field, female police officers are rare, especially someone who is young, beautiful, and dedicated like Katrina.

Despite the surprising turn of events, everyone knows that Katrina deserves all the recognition she is receiving.

Even Katrina is taken aback by the sudden career development. All this credit should go to Aaron, she thinks, unable to fully enjoy the moment. If he hadn't saved me, I would've died, and we wouldn't have caught Black Wolf. I don't deserve all this…

Katrina is not the only officer honored. Every officer involved in the arrest is praised, rewarded, and promoted. Although no one gets recognized at the same level as Katrina, no one feels resentful in any way.

Colin looks at his partner with pride. She deserves this.

After the ceremony, the first thing Katrina does is to call Farrah excitedly. "Farrah, let's have dinner after work, my treat! Don't you dare refuse!"
