"Good question. Come, let me answer you"
Katherine took him to her lab and said
"Welcome to my world" Katherine sat on the single leather chair in front of Kal.
"Welcome K, Welcome Aristotle"
Aris was shocked as he looked around the room. He saw a symbol of a knife piercing the letter K.
He turned his head sharply to face Katherine
"You're K!" He said not questioning but stating.
-------------------------
"Hmm!" Katherine exclamation in delight. "Aris yours is definitely better than theirs" Katherine said as she stuffed her mouth with more food. "Their food looks and tastes like a wacky copy of yours. This is too good"
Aris bowed saying "thank you, thank you"
"I'm going to open a restaurant, your restaurant. You have to share this talent to the world. Hmm" Katherine spoke with her mouth filled with food.
"For real? Aris asked in pure shock and suprise.
"Do you think I'll lie?" She said and raised a brow
"Thank you so much, really, thank...you" Aris eyes became moist and his voice chocked.
"Hey, in my turf, there is no place for tears, so clean up your face" Katherine said and forced a smile.
"What a hypocrite, Katherine, you know how many times you have shed tears in secret and now you tell others not to shed tears?, so contradictory" Katherine thought to herself and smiled in mockery. The food which she couldn't stop eating some moment ago had now become hars to swallow. She forced the food down her throat and forced herself to eat but not with the same gusto as before but it was barely noticeable.
Suddenly sounds of trapping filled the air- it was Katherine's phone ringing. A little startled, she picked up her phone and saw it was Ian.
"Hey, how are you-...No" Katherine said and frowned.
"Look, Ian,I'm very busy and when I have free time, I'll tell you...I'm not a CEO like you...Tch!..." She rolled her eyes at whatever Ian said.
"Tomorrow will be a good time. Bye -..." Before Katherine could end, the call was disconnected.
"What a snob" Katherine said and hissed.
Katherine looked at Aris noticing his curious gaze.
"What?"
"N-nothing" Aris earlobes turned red from embarrassment at being caught.
"Just talk"
"I wanted to ask who was that" He said looking shy.
"It was my male friend" Katherine answered with a smile.
(What a lie)
-------------------
"Sister Kathy, who's this?" Kendra asked pointing at Aris who was being shy.
"Hey, I thought you were bold, come on. Introduce yourself" Katherine shot at Aris instead of answering.
"I'm bold" He said and cleared her throat. "Hello Kendra, I'm Aristotle; Aris for short. I'm a friend of Katherine and I'm fifteen years" He said extending his hand.
"You're what!? And what a name" Kendra said in shock
"Fifteen years?" She looked at him from head to toe and rubbed her eyes.
"Nope you're not dreaming. I wad on the streets and malnourishment, that's why I'm like this" Aris said ignoring Kendra comment about his name
