Semua Bab CEO's Hidden Marriage: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Kiara stared at her with an open mouth. Leena herself was suggesting to keep things under wraps from her own son."Aunty, but what if he comes to know?" She asked, chewing on her lips. No doubt Leena's option was a lifesaver for her in this crucial time, but the offer involves frightening risk and, apparently, she was in no position to take such risk. Hence the fear.Rolling her eyes at her question, Leena asked in a miffed tone. "Are you going to tell him?" She crossed her hands and wiggled her brows."What?" Panic rushed in Kiars's nerves and she shook her head frantically. "No… no, Aunty, why would I tell him?" Eyes big like saucers, she stressed every word."If you are not going to tell him. And I am certainly not doing so considering I myself suggest the plan. Then who do you think is going to snitch on us, Kiara?" Leena deadpanned, scoffing at her internally.As if the realization hit her hard, she made an 'o' with her lips. "I think you're —""You still 'think'?" Interrupted t

Kiara's POV:-I was in my office, working on my laptop, when my phone went off. Thinking it to be Viaan's as he said almost an hour back that he will call me as soon as he comes out of the house, I picked up the phone hurriedly; worried to know what happened there.However, to my dismay, it was not Viaan but Aunty. Receiving the call, I pressed the phone against my ear with shivering hands."Hello," "Hello, Kia, where are you?" She questioned straight and in a serious tone."In my office, Aunty. Why?" I asked, barely keeping my voice trembling. My heart thumped fast for an unpredictable reason, and I can feel my palm sweating already. "Tell me one thing, Kiara, are you leaving your place or shifting somewhere?" She asked, ignoring my question.I recalled what we had decided to tell her. Even though it was not a complete lie, I hate lying to her about the major part. With a pang of guilt twisting my heart, I replied. "Yes, Aunty, the landlord said he has to sell the apartment, so I'm

"Kiara, Sir has called you immediately for an urgent meeting." He said, panting slightly."Meeting? What meeting and why are you panting like you came all the way running here?" I frowned for two things. First, I didn't know Hunter was coming today, second, he never called such urgent meetings."Because I came running all over here." He exhaled audibly. "Now come fast. Sir seems in a bad mood today and he'll get more pissed off if we delay." Confusion plus fear scattered all over his face as he asked me to join him.'What could be the matter?' my mind chipped in.Nodding my head skeptically, I got up from my chair. "You walk ahead. I'm coming after shutting it down." Pointing at my laptop, I told him.He nodded silently and left the cabin. I pressed the phone against my ear, guessing Viaan must still be online, as soon as Robin Sir was out of the room. "Hello?" "What happened, Kiara? All good in your office?" His voice was laced with worry."I don't know, Viaan, my boss had called us

"February 20th," whispered Viaan, scratching his chin. Thinking something deeply, he looked back at Neil. "Did our sources get to know why the organizers postponed the event?" He asked Neil. Last month, when they got to know that the organizers have postponed the event for an unavoidable reason, they all were confused as it was the first time the organization has done something like this. However, since the PR team of the organization refused to disclose the reason due to confidentiality issues, all the companies were waiting patiently for the new dates."No, sir. They all have sealed their lips on the matter, and don't even mention this inside their premises, too." Neil shook his head negatively, sighing in defeat.Viaan nodded thoughtfully, then asked him to get back to work. "Alright, get back to your work and keep me updated on the announcement. Also, this Saturday we will visit the site again; ask the team to be ready." He said, forwarding the file to his assistant. "And ask the

Viaan's POV:-I saw my mother's eyes going wide and even Kiara gave me a squint eye, hiding her expression from my mother. 'Okay, why do I feel I'm going to get an earful from her soon?' I blinked, licking my lips and then I heard my mother's voice, drawing my attention."What?" she questioned loudly. "Are you even hearing yourself, Viaan? Why would she leave the city?" She scolded me while asking.As I already knew about her conversation with Kiara, I can assume where this anguish originated. She has complete faith in Kiara and she knows my girl would not lie to her.Smiling internally at their bond, I cleared my throat to answer her question."Because she didn't want to pay back the money she took from you. And the proof is she was vacating her place, without telling anyone. And guess what, I just caught her in time as when I reached there she was just about –""Who said she didn't tell anyone a thing? I knew about her moving out of that rented place." My mother interrupted strongl
