"Ma'am in a month Mr. Miller called for a board meeting.""What board meeting?" Cathy looked at Kiara for the answer."Nothing. Just to remove me from my seat.""What!" Cathy slapped her palm on the desk. "Isn't he being too outrageous? I mean Mr. Walker and you are still in the middle of taking the fall they brought to the company. Instead of taking care of that, he is out here shamelessly for your seat?"Kiara patiently smiled. "Don't mind him Cathy. We all knew that this was about to happen anyway.""But-""Cathy." Kiara called."Hmph."Kiara looked down to the sheet. Seeing all the names on the paper, her hold tightened on the file. "Ray. By now how much support have we got?" "Nine." Ray right away replied.Kiara looked down to the names again. "Out of 38, we just got 9?""Yes ma'am. Among nine, five are our people and the rest are Mr. Walker's committed people.""What about the other 19 people?" James always had his majority on the board of directors. Among twenty three, she only
"So you finally got the time to have dinner with me?" James grumbled as he spoke to the girl who just walked inside the room.Kiara apologetically smiles. It's been a few days since she had dinner with her grandfather. Seeing him having dinner alone does make her feel guilty. "I am really sorry grandfather. This will never happen again." "As long as you know." Kiara took her seat beside James. While they were in the middle of their dinner, Kiara curiously asked. "Where is sister?""Don't know." James right away said."Huh?" Kiara frowned a little."What?" Hames nonchalantly asked back."She isn't back. Are you not gonna ask her where she is?" Kiara spoke."...""Grandfather.""What? She hasn't come back home since that incident happened." His nonchalance took over his reasonable mind."But it's been more than a week since that happened." Kiara stated.James agreedly nodded to her words. "Exactly. It's been more than a week since your sister came back home.""What? She never came bac
Few days later-"Aren't you tired of all these meetings every single day?" Cathy asked as she placed the chocolate drink in front of Kiara."Ohh do not let me start on that girl. I would have been fine if it wasn't about the dates I have to attend every single day because of YOU!" Kiara almost shouted out loud in anger. Since the first blind date she attended, her grandfather insisted her to go on again with the same man."Hey! That's mean! I was worried about you. And my ideas are actually fine. Otherwise Mr. Walker would never have agreed to it." Cathy proudly looked at her friend."..." Kiara had nothing to retaliate. It might have been okay if she was a devil or an emotionless person. But opting for such options knowing how wrong it is, is totally idiotic to her."So I heard that you are meeting that politician's son again tonight." Cathy asked."Hmm.""Why?""Grandfather thinks that he is the best option for me.""What about you?""I highly doubt my grandfather's choice." Kiara
"Hello Miss Walker.""...""Miss Walker?" He called her again.Kiara hurriedly came out of her stupor. Taking one little deep breath, Kiara calmed herself a little before asking. "Who are you?"At first she might have believed that the man walked into the wrong room. But hearing him calling her surname, it's a given thing that he knows her and he particularly came for her here.Strangely she got all different emotions but again she couldn't remember a single thing about this man.Hearing that question he smiled a little. Taking off his coat, he pulled his chair right in front of Kiara's seat, as he sat down. "You don't remember me?" He asked back with a smile.Seeing his smile Kiara instantly realised how rudely she was talking to him. Even though they don't know each other, she isn't supposed to behave like this to anyone, until they are on the bad side of each other."I am sorry. I was impolite. But I am really not able to remember any of our meetings." Kiara smiled back and said.
Once the food was served, he started eating his food. While Kiara kept staring at him, he didn't care a bit. Not for once he bothered to look at her to explain things.Once they reached their main course, he looked at her plate, which was still untouched. Rolling his tongue once he placed down his spoon."Miss Walker. Why are you not eating anything?" He asked."Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" She right away asked."...""Have we met before?""...""...have I offended you before?""Miss Walker please eat." He repeated."..." To his words Kiara showed no expression. She still didn't touch her spoon. It wasn't just because of the absurd situation she was in but also because she was scared. Afraid that the food could be poisoned by the man. And right now seeing his power, she highly believes in the possibilities.Seeing her being vigilant around him, he snickered. He cared less about her reason. He didn't trouble himself to calm her or explain anything to her. For him, she do
Ring RingRing RingRing Ring"Hello?" Kiara answered the call."Where the hell are you idiot? We have been calling you since ages. Why are you not picking up our calls? Why aren't you back yet?" Cathy almost came out of the receiver to kick Kiara."I am driving." Kiara slowly replied."To where?" Cathy right away asked."Home.""From where?""Restaurant.""Don't lie." Cathy instantly spoke. "I know Sam was busy tonight. He called Mr. Walker so that he can inform you. Then Mr. Walker called me to tell you that because you were ignoring his calls. And when i called Ray i got to know that he left you at the restaurant. What the hell were you doing in the restaurant for an hour when your date bailed on you? Kiara seriously. Where were you?"Kiara almost chuckled. With a small smile she asked. "... what are you? A GPS?" "Kiara. Be serious. We were really worried about you. Why didn't you pick up our calls?" Cathy sternly asked.Kiara pursed her lips. Taking one deep breath she spoke. "Cat
Kiara walked inside the private room of her restaurant. The old man was already present for the meeting. "Hello Mr. Wright." Kiara greeted first. Behind him Ray also greeted him."Please take a seat Miss Walker." Dylan Wright spoke. "Thank you." Both Kiara and Ray took their seats."How about the first order?" Dylan suggested.With a small nod Kiara placed her order with Ray. Once their drinks were served, Kiara gestured to Ray to place the files on the table.By her gesture Dylan also got his cue to start the meeting. With a smile he put the cup down. "I heard that I am your fifteenth."“…” Kiara’s eyes got narrowed. She didn’t know what was coming for her, but just a few words of Dylan told her that, the news wasn't good for her.She gave a small smile to Dylan before saying. “Mr. Wright I always believed that you and my father are like brothers. I never thought that you would be in my list either.” Kiara smartly turned the blame to Dylan. However her words were true. Dylan and h
"Ray. Get this place cleaned up."Ray instantly stood up to her orders. Because of Dylan's words, he spit the coffee out of his mouth. Where his actions were embarrassing, Dylan's words were shocking to Ray too. Wiping the table with the tissues he left the room to give Kiara and Dylan their privacy."What's that supposed to mean Mr. Wright?""I believe your grandfather already told you what was happening. It wasn't just the company but your reputation too that got tarnished that day.""So you believe that I should go on to another man to keep up my reputation?""I believe that we can still undo the situation. We can still turn the tables. You don't know what they are talking about you. Out of that office they mock you and make fun of you.""I still don't find this reason to be enough. I still don't agree with you or my grandfather.""Miss Walker. When we can just-""Mr. Wright. Let's stop here. Earlier you asked me why am I going for these meetings when I am already aware of the sit
