Chapter Twenty

Cat looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, she was so mad that Claudia had the hide to turn up here. Cat knew it was irrational but she was mad at Eric, even though she knew logically It wasn’t his fault, he was as surprised as she was that Claudia was at the door. It made her mad because he was the one that had put them all in the situation in the first place. For a man who didn’t date women that worked for him, he had made the mistake twice. Taking a deep breath, Cat washed her face then  cleaned her teeth and put her red hair up into a pony tail. There was no way she was changing for their day out. For their trip today jeans and t-shirt was the perfect outfit. No fucking red slut dress, better suited for a night club than a day at the office. She needed to calm down. Deep breath in, deep breath out.  Cat jumped as there was a knock at the bathroom door. “Cat? You ok.” Putting a smile on her face she opened the door “ Sure why wouldn’t I be.” Lying through her teeth. Eric took a step towards her, running a hand down her face before pulling at her bottom lip. Leaning forward he gave said lip a quick kiss. “You’re sure?”  Cat wasn’t going to tell him, that she was jealous of the relationship he had with Claudia or that she was mad he went to her after their breakup. She would sound catty and pathetic. Also if he wasn’t smart enough to figure it out having her turn up at his penthouse the day after their wedding or even being at their wedding was becoming stalker-ish. The woman needed a life away from them both. Cat needed to let it go and enjoy their day, because she was damned if she would let Claudia wreck it, Work was tomorrow. “Yes. Are you ready?” She took in his well washed dark blue jeans and white t-shirt that sculptured his toned body, hugging his well defined tanned biceps. Cat licked her lips, maybe going out wasn’t a good idea, maybe they should just return to bed. Cat got a cheeky grin on her face, running her hands down both his arms. Eric lifted an eyebrow at her.  “On second thoughts we could stay home.” Cat whispered  Eric gradded her arm gently moving her towards the bedroom door “Out woman or I’m going to think you only want me for my body.” He growled.  Cat snorted “Why should there be any other reason. I mean your ass, looks mighty hot in those jeans. Mr Logan.” Patting her bottom as he followed her out the bedroom into the lounge. “This ass is pretty sweet as well.” Cat grinned over her shoulder at him. Glad her bad mood was gone. She picked up her bag, shoes and keys at the front door as they exited the penthouse.   “This weekend the real estate agent I’m using will have some properties for us to look at. I was thinking we spend Saturday looking at houses, then Sunday we could go shopping for baby stuff.” Cat looked up from her tea. Looking mournfully at Eric’s flat white, God she missed coffee and decaf just wasn’t the same. They had spent a beautiful morning along the north of Wollongong. Checking out boutique shops in Thirroul, then walking along the beach in Austinmer. Currently sitting enjoying a drink after eating lunch at one of the many cafes in the area. It really was a beautiful part of Australia. Sydney was beautiful as well but to a country girl like her, the amount of people per square metre sometimes got to her. It was a shame they couldn’t live here. “It’s a shame the office is on the other side of Sydney. It would be nice to live around here. The commute would be a killer though.” Eric looked up in surprise “You would want to live this far away from Sydney?” Cat laughed “I’m a country girl remember Eric. The city has no appeal to me. It was just a place to work. I earn a good pay check.” Reminding him she wasn’t like Rachel or Claudia. “You are right this would be a terrible commute. We could look Central Coast way. Still near the beach and easier commute to work.” Frowning as if something else has occurred to him “We never really talked about what you wanted to do once the babies are born. Did you want to stay at home with them or go back to work after?” Cat was pleased he was asking and not telling her what she needed to do. “I want to stay home with them until they start school. We are in the lucky position that I can do that. Unfortunately not every family can.” Eric looked relieved by her answer.  “That’s great.” He said smiling at her. “I’m happy to help Allison in any way if she needs it, if I can do it from home. I would like to work as long as possible during the pregnancy. So I can find the perfect replacement for me. Do you know of anyone already working within Logan’s holdings or should we look outside.” Cat questioned him. “I think Jo would have taken the job if we hadn’t gotten back together. She really hated my guts there for a while. I almost wore my morning coffee a few times.” Cat burst out laughing. She hadn’t known that. It was so like Jo to let her feelings be known. “It’s not funny.” Eric chided her making Cat laugh more. Eric grinned at her. “It’s not easy on a man whose staff likes their girlfriend more than they like you.”  That stopped Cat’s laughter. It might be true for Jo “That’s not the case with Claudia.” Cat reminded him. “Claudia is a man’s woman, if you know what I mean. I don’t think she has any female friends that I know off.” Eric explained  “Well, she definitely is bitchy to other women.” Cat mumbled Eric frowned at her “Are you talking about the disagreement Jo and Claudia had?” “That is just one case of Claudia being a bitch, Eric.” “She is efficient at her job. When a man is assertive, he is good at leadership and managing a team. When a woman does it people say she is bitchy. Don’t you think your being a little unfair to her.” Cat’s great mood just turned to shit over that little statement by Eric. Men are so fucking blind. “Your mum and Joanna are confident, efficient and assertive at their job but I would never ever call them bitchy Eric. I think I know the difference.” Eric held up both his hands in defeat “Ok, lets agree to disagree. I haven’t witnessed anything that would make me question Claudia in the work place.” “That’s because she hides it from you Eric.” Cat stressed her point. “Cat! No-one else has complained about Claudia besides Jo and  Jo hates me some days.”  Cat knew nothing she would say could make Eric believe her, Claudia had worked for him along time always hiding her true self. He would have to witness it himself or someone other than her and Jo needed to put in a complaint. Everyone at Logan Holding Inc worried that any complaints against Claudia was a death warrant for their job because she was that high up the chain. Pinching her nose Cat wished she had said something sooner now she just looked like a jealous cow. partly it was true, she didn’t want Claudia working closely with her husband. Husband! that was right. He was her husband now. She would leave the Claudia issue for now but it was going to come up again. She was his wife and she had to work with the horrible woman so he was going to listen to her, even if she had to tie him to a chair and make him listen. Cat smiled, thinking of tying Eric up and what she could do to him after she talked some sense into his thick skull. “What are you thinking about.” Eric looked at her slightly amused. “What me? I’m thinking about tying you up.” Cat answered in a mild tone. Eric paused for a second not sure how her mind worked, she was sure to jump from Claudia to tying him up didn’t follow a straight line of thinking. “Kitty, the only person getting tied up would be you. You know I rule the bedroom, same as any boardroom.” He said wickedly, making Cat squirm in her seat and become flushed. Eric smiled at her knowing how he effected her. Catching the attention of a passing waiter “Check please.” He said before leaning forward to say softly to Cat “I need to take my wife home and teach her who is the boss in the bedroom.”
