"Katie?" Jeremy was shocked to see Katie at a gathering like this, since she isn't from a wealthy family . "What are you doing here?"
"Jeremy, you young master Gu I thought your last name was Johnson . " Katie says a bit confused .
"No I think there is a mix-up, Jeremy's mother who is from America is called Johnson but his father is Gu" Catherine elaborates . "And how do you know each other? Did you guys date?" Catherine probes, she is a lot chatty when she is tipsy .
Advertisement"No, we didn't date, we are just old friends" Katie pauses, "you never mentioned that your last name is Gu, I have practically known since we where 16 and you never mentioned it" Katie says a bit disappointed at her friend .
"Well you have to understand, that our young master Gu is a public figure and he can't do without ever he wants, so he keeps a low profile and instead comes out as Jeremy Johnson . " Nathan explains to ease the tension
"Well, I guess I can understand that . But I wouldn't have told anyone you know," she murmurs "I get it" she says with half a smile
"I'm sorry, it's just easier to socialize as a regular person, rather 'young master Gu' . But I don't mind you knowing and I should have told you" Jeremy says trying to appease her .
"Okay, no more awkwardness it's a party and I need to have fun . " Catherine lazily says has she sits on the sand .
"I'm guessing the meeting with mum didn't go well," James says and joins her on the sand with Katie .
"Well you know your own mother, it's the same story . She wants me to marry some stupid playboy heir" Catherine says with a low voice
"You don't want to get married? Or, you just don't like the man she chose?" Katie asks . "No, it's more like I don't wish to listen to what she says . " Catherine says with an indescribable expression on her face, "it's a long story; the short version is I don't have the best relationship with my mother . So let's just move to a brighter topic okay?" Catherine says in a hurry to change the topic .
The rest of the night is filled with laughter as they share stories of their youth, drink, play games and swim .
