Zendaya's little smile made Lucas smile as well, and he felt his heart being tugged with happiness. He wondered why he felt so happy just seeing the little girl smile.A lot of children had smiled at him but they didn't have the same effect as the one the little girl was giving him. They only annoyed him.He was distracted when the door to the room opened and Kiandra came out. Like a spell being broken, the smile dropped from his face as he turned to look at Kiandra who had purposely taken her time even though she knew that he was waiting for her.Her eyes fell on Lucas and then on Zendaya and when she saw what was in her daughter's hand, her face contorted into a deep frown. “Zendaya, what did I tell you about eating chocolate before breakfast?” she scolded her daughter as she walked over there Zendaya, who had already expected Kiandra's reaction, gave her mother an innocent smile and she was quick to point at Lucas, pushing all the blame to him. Kiandra quickly collected the choc
Lucas sighed and he returned to his seat. How was he supposed to tell Liam that he was doing this because he felt a sense of attachment to Kiandra’s daughter and to Kiandra herself?For some reason, he felt like he knew her even though the reports from his men clearly proved that he didn’t know her and that they had never met, but for some reason, he was doubting the report.If his intuition was true, this meant that Kiandra had altered the evidence and to do that, one had to be powerful, something Kiandra was definitely not.So how was she able to alter the evidence? All this just made his interest in Kiandra increase as he knew there was more that met the eye when it came to her.The door to his office opened and Kiandra walked in. “Mr Volcano asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing over the file that Liam had given her.“Hmm,” Lucas said and he collected the file from Kiandra. “Oh, that reminds me, I have a task for you.”He had promised himself that he would teach her a l
Kiandra a was taken to Zendaya’s daycare by Lucas’ driver. On the way there, she called Samantha and asked if she could take care of Zendaya until Lucas finally let her return home.Samantha didn’t waste any time in agreeing, as she looked forward to spending time with Zendaya.The hardest part of it all was having to explain to Zendaya that she would be staying with Samantha and that it wouldn’t be the last time this was happening, all thanks to Lucas.Zendaya didn’t like what her mother told her, and she made it evident by crossing her arms and ignoring her mother on their ride back home.Kiandra was used to Zendaya’s tantrums, and so it did not faze her in the slightest. By tomorrow, all of Zendaya’s anger would have evaporated.Samantha was already waiting for them at home, and so Kiandra dropped her off and went back to the office.As soon as she got back, she went to Lucas’ office, so he would know that she was back. It was already evening, and so almost all the employees had l
After Kiandra finished speaking with Liam, she proceeded and called Samantha on a video call to see how her daughter was doing."Hey Kia, how are you?" Samantha asked."I'm exhausted, Sammy," Kiandra replied and she sighed. "How is Zendaya?" She asked."She's over here, we're watching a movie," Samantha replied."Without me, I feel left out," Kiandra joked as Samantha passed the phone to Zendaya."Hello, honey," Kiandra greeted."You look tired," Zendaya replied instead of returning Kiandra's greeting. Her face contorted to a frown when she saw how Kiandra looked."I am tired. Mummy's been busy with work," Kiandra told Zendaya."Then you should rest. That's what you tell me to do when I'm tired," Zendaya said, and it made Kiandra laugh."I will after I end the call," Kiandra said and the line immediately got disconnected.'That brat!' she exclaimed under her breath and smiled. Zendaya had disconnected the call just so Kiandra could rest. It also warmed her heart to see that her daught
Kiandra picked up the file which Lucas had asked her to go through and she started to look through them. “There’s something wrong with this calculation,” she said after five minutes of reading it. As she started going through the file, she noticed that there was something wrong with what she was looking at.Didn't Lucas notice it? She asked herself.Lucas looked up from his laptop and he gave her a questioning look. “Let me see,” he said, and he took the file. He had gone through it himself but he didn’t see anything wrong and so it was shocking to hear Kiandra say something was wrong with the file. Maybe that was because he simply took a glance at it instead of actually assessing the contents of the file.“What’s wrong with it?” he asked after he had gone through it and found nothing wrong. He went through the figures he was looking at and they all seemed to add up so what was the issue?“While I was searching for a job, I looked into the company that supplies the raw materials us
“We’re here, sir,” The driver informed Lucas, and he looked up from the file he had been reading ever since they left his company.He looked at his watch and saw that they were way ahead of time, which meant that he didn’t have to worry about meeting Daira.She didn't like coming to her family's company which meant she would arrive about an hour later just to see him.He opened the door and got out, and so did Kiandra. She looked at the building which stood tall just like the rest of the buildings surrounding it.“Can you tell me what the meeting is about, so I won’t embarrass myself,” she requested as they headed into the building. There was no information about it when she checked the schedule and so, she was clueless as to what the meeting was all about.“It’s a personal meeting and not a business meeting, so you don’t have to worry about anything as you won’t be asked anything,” Lucas answered her. The receptionist didn't bother stopping Lucas as he wasn't a stranger. He already
She immediately headed to the elevator and as soon as it opened, she felt someone push her gently into the elevator. She turned and saw that it was Daira who had pushed her. The latter then pushed a button that turned off the power to the elevator. This was what she was talking about. She wasn’t ready to become enemies with someone over Lucas.“I’m sorry I pushed you,” Daira apologized, shocking Kiandra. “I want to talk to you,” she started.“Listen, I’m sorry for the way Lucas spoke to you. I’m his executive assistant and there’s nothing more than that,” Kiandra quickly explained.“Calm down, I’m not here to fight with you,” Daira chuckled, and Kiandra squinted her eyes at her as she wasn’t quite convinced. “I trust Lucas, so you don’t have to worry.”“So, why are you here?” Kiandra probed.“Lucas is someone who likes to keep to himself and it takes a toll on his health, thus causing people like me who care about him to worry unnecessarily,” Daira started.“I have a small request fr
“We’re being followed,” Lucas answered, and he brought out his phone to call someone. He had noticed the black car as soon as they left the construction site, but he had ignored it at first. However, in order to be safer than sorry, he informed his head of security about the situation right there and then, even though it was just a gut feeling.However, after thirty minutes of traveling, he was convinced that they were being followed as the car didn't overtake them despite being so close to them and it took the turns they did.This wasn’t a new thing to him, as his life was always in danger. One person or another was always trying to kill him for things he might have done. He immediately texted Spider the plate number of the car so the latter could begin his investigation, and he also informed him of the situation, so his head of security could swing into action and find the idiot who was behind this.“What do you mean, why are we being followed?” Kiandra asked worriedly as she look
