The Purple Pursuit {A Prince Story}

Part Two - The Great Disappointment

*Katherine's POV*

The Following Morning...

I got up and went back to my own apartment, I had meetings with clients today. I got dressed and ready for the day, today was meant to be big. I'm finally going to get the opportunity to design for some of the big clients that I've been fighting for, my name is getting around being one of the best designers around.

I go to grab my bag and Prince's invitation drops out, I stare at it before picking it up. I sigh then shove it in my bag, at this point I don't care about his shenanigans, work is more important. On the way to work, Prince's music plays on the radio, I scoff.

"Nope." I say.

I just decide to turn off the radio, I arrived to work and walked up to my office. My assistant, Amy, greets me with a smile and coffee.

"Good morning, Katherine." She greets.

"Good morning, Amy. Are you ready for today?" I ask her.

"Me? What about you? You're the designer honey." She says.

I laugh.

"That's true. I am nervous, I've been working towards this for awhile. I just hope I get it." I sigh.

Amy walks up to me, she puts her hands on my shoulders.

"Look at me and listen to me. You'll do great, I believe in you. If you believe in yourself everything will play out the way you want it to." She says.

I smile at her.

"Thank you, Amy. That means a lot." I say.

I walk to my desk and start organising my portfolio. Amy brings over a large bouquet of roses along with a card, I stop and slowly look up at her.

"Aww Amy, you shouldn't have. I don't swing that way." I smirk.

"They're not from me, silly. They're from some guy for you. There's no name..." She explains.

I shrug my shoulders and begin to drink my coffee.

"Oh wait, it's just an initial...P?" She says.

I spit out the coffee, luckily not on my portfolio or my clothes. I turn to her, and look at the card.

Miss Y/N,

That's right, I found out your name. Your little friend, Billie, has quite the mouth. She pretty much told me your whole life story but I stopped her after she told me your name and job. I want to hear about you, from you. So I hope you're still coming tonight, I thought you would like these so I came and delivered them myself on the way to a meeting. See you tonight. - P

"Oh Billie...my poor friend." I sigh.

"Billie? Is she okay?" Amy asks.

"No. She's in trouble." I say.

"Why? What happened?" Amy questions.

"Nothing yet, but she'll be begging for mercy when my hands wrap around her tiny neck." I say with an innocent smile.

Amy smiles and laughs nervously. I look at her and laugh.

"I wasn't being serious. This is from a guy, but Billie did play a part in this and she is in trouble. She should have stayed out of it." I admit.

Amy relaxes and giggles.

"Billie's probably just being a friend, looking out for you." She says before checking to see if my portfolio is complete.
