"Sir." Thomas came forward and placed two suits on the bed.
"The blue one." Noah said without looking up from the scattered clothes on the floor. Staring at the blue blouse he smirked.
Thomas passed the other suit back to the servant as he asked him to leave the room.
Once the door was closed behind that servant, Thomas gave his tablet to Noah. "We checked the CCTV footage. That drink wasn't meant for you. It was simply a mistake done by the server."
"Then what about the key?"
"It was a mistake too. The server, while trying to steal the key of 609, mistakenly brought 906. We took care of him."
"So that girl was actually a victim of drugs too." Noah said as he looked at the video of that girl drinking the same wine he had last night by mistake.
"She was a victim but unlike you, this all was a set up just for her. From the wine to the hotel room. If it wasn't about the mistake done by that server, that girl would have been with some other guy instead of you." Thomas stated.
As soon as he heard that, Noah's eyes darkened. Clenching his fist, he threw the tablet in his hand on the wall twenty feet away from him.
Thomas was unfazed by that reaction. He calmly took his phone out to take notes.
"Did you delete all the videos?"
"Yes sir."
"What about the video that server had?"
"Not sent to anyone. Got deleted before time."
"No problem will arise for her?"
"Nothing at all."
"Good. Because I won't tolerate any mistake here." Noah warned.
"Yes sir."
Getting up from the couch he went back to the bed. This time Thomas didn't turn to face his master.
Noah looked down at the blood stain on the bed. Remembering his last night with Kiara, he sighed deeply. If only he had stopped himself from drowning in her sexual desire, this would not have happened.
He wasn't regretting last night but he believed that he was at fault too. Both Kiara and him were intoxicated but the thought of taking her virginity in her drunken state did make him feel guilty.
Last night when she came inside the room, she didn't bother to verify the identity of the person before she started kissing Noah.
Noah was shocked. And instantly wanted to push her away. But when he looked down at the girl whose eyes were closed and from the gesture, all she was asking from him was to reciprocate her feelings too, he couldn't control himself.
He was not just drowned in her beauty but in her eyes and in her smile too. That innocent laugh she gave every time after kissing him was making him lose his mind.
Unlike her, he remembered each and every detail of last night. He remembered how painful her expressions were when he entered inside her. He remembered how ecstatic she felt after her first time.
How desperately she asked him for another round to which he easily complied. Just like her, it was his first time too. It was painful for him too. He never let any girl come anywhere near him before. For him love was all meaningless and nothing but a weakness to every human.
He never wanted it, but in the middle of the night, when Kiara was sleeping in his arms, snuggling to find some warmth from him, Noah realized the worth of love.
When Kiara was kissing him, he could still push her away or even could ask his guards to throw her out, but the moment his eyes contacted her, he lost all his will. As much as she wanted him, he wanted her too.
In fact, now all he wants is her and only her.
"Did you get all the details about her?" He asked.
"Yes sir."
"Read that to me then."
"Her name is Kiara Walker, second daughter of David Walker from his second marriage to Olivia Walker. Right now she is the president of Walker entertainment. She owns 13 percent of shares in that company whereas she also holds few other personal shares from other companies, just like in ours, she holds 0.89 percent of shares."
"She does?" Noah smirked.
"Yes sir. She bought it a few years ago."
"Next."
"Last night she was here with her friend Cathy Jones to celebrate her engagement."
"What did you say?" Noah instantly turned. Before he could do anything in anger again, Thomas hurriedly said.
"Which didn't happen, sir. Miss is completely single."
"Explain." Noah coldly ordered as he stared at Thomas's back.
Thomas could feel his master's stare at him. Although he is very used to his anger, still this time he felt it was very different and more dangerous than before. He closed his for a millisecond in the realization that this girl, Kiara Walker, can be either their very good or very very bad news for them.
"Last night when Miss was with you, her sister circulated a new invitation for the same guests but with her name as a bride and Miss's Boyfriend as her groom."
"Her boyfriend?"
"Ex-boyfriend." Thomas corrected his words.
"So only after waking does she get this news?" Noah amusedly asked.
"I highly doubt that sir. Ma'am phone was off. She cluelessly reached the venue. And only there she got this news." Thomas explained.
"So you're telling me that she directly saw her ex-boyfriend and her sister on stage?"
"Yes sir."
Noah scoffed. "She deserves this cruel reality check. Who told her to be this dumb and select just anyone as her boyfriend."
"..." Thomas said nothing.
"How did she react then?"
"Who sir?"
"..."
"Am Sorry... Miss just walked inside the hall and stood beside the couple."
"She did what!" Noah almost shouted.
"Stood beside the couple with her grandfather."
"Show me the video." Noah delightfully said.
Thomas passed him his phone with the video. Taking his phone, Noah took his seat back on the couch.
He couldn't help but smile again after seeing Kiara walking carelessly in her blue plain gown. 'Looks like you love the color blue.'
In the video Noah clearly noticed how unbothered Kiara was from the very start of the situation. She looked shocked but nowhere disheartened or grieving. As if it was just and just shocking news to her like any other guest must have felt too.
The more he looked at her the more he was content with her reaction. Where another girl might have broken down in front of everyone or might actually start cussing or blaming her sister and boyfriend for doing such a thing to her, Kiara simply accepted the situation and took care of the situation considerably and carefully.
'That's the girl he loves.'
"So the one who did all this to her is actually her sister." Noah asked. "Step sister sir." Thomas corrected. "Should I take care of that person for her?" Noah seriously asked. "...I don't think Miss would like it. Not to forget, she is his sister at the end of the day." "That's true... So why did her sister do this to her?" "Because of jealousy. Miss is not just beautiful but a hardworking and very talented person. Everyone around her always and always praised her. Whereas her step-sister always chooses an easy way to succeed. Working under her own company she abuses her power and gets the best endorsement for herself. No one really ever liked her much. In jealousy, she planned all this against her sister." By the end of Thomas's words, Noah had a small smile on his face. It's very rare for his secretary to actually compliment someone. Even if his works asked him to do so, he would never do buttering. Hearing such compliments for Kiara from him, he could tell that Kiara must be
"Grieving and you?" "Yes, me." "Okay then answer only one question of mine. But honestly.""Ask away." Kiara provokingly beckoned her to speak.Cathy looked at her friend solemnly. With a small pause, she asked. "How are you feeling right now?""Huh?" Kiara frowned instantly."How are you feeling right now?" She repeated her words."That's your question?" Kiara confusedly looked at her."Hmm. That's my question. So answer me honestly. How are you feeling after everything that happened to you last week."Kiara got silent. Not because she had nothing to say, in fact, she didn't know where to start. When her friend asked this question seriously, she contemplated that question seriously too. She tried to give her honest answer only."Somewhere upset and angry. Not to forget embarrassing too.""That's all?" Cathy almost scoffed but stopped herself so that Kiara could think about it again.Kiara gave a small nod and affirmed. "I just find everything related to them, annoying and useless."
Cathy sneered. "Don't worry. Her honor is not as small as your status." "All you know is babbling. Anyway, I am not here to do an argument. I am here with my fiance so that I can check on my sister. See if she doing good or not. I know I hurt her a lot. But I really hope that she knows that I don't hate her. You do understand me my little sister right?" Saying that Ria provokingly smiled at Kiara, to which Kiara just ignored her."Ha ha ha." Cathy gave a big dry laugh at her words. Disgustingly looking at Ria and Max, Cathy said. "If God also comes down, to say that, even then Kiara won't believe such words."Ria breathed heavily. Removing her hand from Max's arms, she folded her arms with annoyance. "What are you? Her spokesperson? Don't she have her mouth to talk to me?""She is too disgusted by you guys that she didn't want to bother herself with you people." Cathy answered. It wasn't just because Cathy wanted to insult the couple but she also knows what kind of person Kiara is.
Betraying you were more right to me than betraying my family. I-"'Khhkh' Kiara couldn't help but chuckle in the end. "I am really sorry. I tried hard not to laugh but you were not stopping with your speech at all." She said."Kiara? How can you say that?" Max bewilderedly asked.Kiara's words brought inexplicable expression to both Cathy and Ria's faces. Her words and actions were not cooperating at all with the situation. How can someone laugh at their offender after what they had done to her? Kiara suddenly looked like a totally different person to them."I mean what I say, Max. You are really funny." Kiara spoke."You-""You seriously think that I am hurt? I am devastated by your betrayal? Can't you see how happy I am having my favorite drink and snacks with my best friend during my working hour in a relaxed mood? I feel like I am free. Can't you see that?"Max's eyes instantly wavered. Looking at the desk and how her favorite drink and snacks were actually in front of her, made h
"Act as much as you want my little sister. But if you think that you can pretend like nothing happened that night and no one would know then I must pop your bubble and tell you that I am living proof of your ruined life Kiara. I have got everything to finish you in a second. In fact, didn't I already ruin you, Kiara?" Kiara's eyes darkened. She very well knows what Ria was talking about. She was talking about the night when Kiara lost her virginity to some gigolo. How can she forget? And since that engagement day, Kiara particularly knows who planned all that against her and now Ria confirmed it more. "What are you talking about?" Cathy and Max both looked at Ria."Why don't you tell them, Kiara? One is your lover and the other is your best friend. They deserve to know the truth." Saying that Ria smirked."...""What is she talking about Kiara? How did she ruined you already?" Max impatiently asked again. His palm started sweating profusely. Without knowing anything his mind started
"How can you let her go? How can you forgive her so easily! I know you can never be a help! For once I actually thought that you have changed, you know how to fight for yourself. But no!! A big no! She did so much to you and all you did was babble! You let her go just after some scolding! Are you that dumb!" Cathy started shouting nonstop the moment the disgusting couple left.Kiara pursed her lips and let Cathy lash out as much as she wants. Kiara knows that she deserves this scolding. She knows that she shouldn't forgive Ria that easily. However, this is not the time. If she did anything wrong then it won't do good for her company's reputation. She can't risk her Grandfather's image because of revenge. The time has come. Within a few months, her Grandfather is about to select her as his heiress or successor. She can't risk that by telling everyone that she got into trouble because of someone's childish play.Moreover, according to the information she got from Ray, the key that nigh
"You wanna talk? You wanna talk Ria!! Then let's talk. How dare you! How dare you do something like that to Kiara! How dare you to even think about it! You should be thanking god that he saved Kiara that day otherwise i would have made you pay double for every single thing Kiara could have faced! You don't know how much worse I can become Ria. You don't know how lucky you are that nothing happened to Kiara that night." Max shouted restlessly. He felt like destroying everything around him and her. His eyes got red with anger. Veins on his necks were clearly visible to Ria. Without blinking once, he glared at Ria. When he tightened his fist tightly to not lose himself completely, his eyes and mouth already lost all his patience.He knows what he did to Kiara is not right either, but not in the world he ever wanted to hurt her that way. No matter whatever happened or happens between them, not even in his dream would he ever think about doing something like that to her.When he heard Kiar
"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
