Viaan's POV:-"Yeah, okay, I'll keep that in mind, Ryan." I heard Kiara speaking to Ryan in a hushed tone and my legs stopped involuntarily right at the threshold. My brows knitted down instantly even before I realised. I didn't want to eavesdrop on her conversation but the mention of Ryan in there had me puzzled.They are on a call? Didn't I just tell him that I'll call if I need something? Then how come they are talking right now? A series of questions instantly wrapped my head around it and I couldn't help but feel something weird in my heart. Already the image, of Ryan holding Kiara like that, from last evening had made me have an unsettling feeling in my guts. The protectiveness Ryan had in his body language was still messing up my mind. I don't know why I am behaving like a possessive bastard around Kia ever since we took our relationship to the next level. Take last evening's incident as an example: Ryan accompanying Kiara here was pretty normal. Then why the hell did I see

"So, what was the urgency you mentioned on the call, Sir?" Keeping my tone professional I asked. I had enough of beating around the bush and had given him enough time to reveal the matter to me. But, as we can all I am getting since the moment I stepped here is some strange as hell special treatment for no fucking reason. And I'm not a very patient man in the matter of business and profession.Mr. Miller has stopped eating immediately. His fingers stilled, holding the fork as it is a few inches above the plate, as he raised his head to look at me. I can see confusion in his eyes before he realized what I was talking about and then the confusion was replaced with a kind of amazement as if I said something that was unheard. It was surprisingly unexpected to me considering I repeated his words from the call only.There was an uncertainty swirling in his old eyes as he opened his mouth and sighed audibly. "I'm sorry that I confused you with my words, Viaan. It was not urgent but importan

Writer's POV:-Mr. Miller's restaurant:-"You think this lucrative offer can make me reconsider my decision?" I asked smugly, keeping the paper down."Absolutely! It is an undeniable offer, after all!" Claimed Mr. Miller, frowning deeply.I let out a dry, mocking chuckle before pushing the paper back at him. "Trust me it is not even one percent of what could make me change my mind." I sat leaning in the chair, giving him a confident look. His mouth hung open wide, as I'm sure he didn't expect that answer from me.If he thinks he can make me reconsider my words by offering half of his business along with the infinite luxury he wrote in this paper, then this old man has no connoisseur's eyes for real qualities."Did you read it carefully?" Mr. Miller stared at me, then at the paper, and drew his eye back at my face, asking calmly.Though I can't read his expressionless face this time, I'm sure he is pissed off with the way I questioned his offer. I knew he was going to ask this questi

Viaan's POV:-"With due respect, I don't mean to be rude to you, Sir. But you and perhaps Miss Evelyn, too, need to understand that this union is not possible. No matter how much you try to convince me, my answer would remain the same. I can never think of Miss Evelyn as anything other than a business associate." I cleared my point politely as he thought I'm being rude to him.He stayed silent for a moment before revealing something."Viaan, now that you already mentioned her, I would not lie to you. I already knew you would not accept this offer, but because of Evelyn's request, I had to offer you something that I, too, would never want you to accept." His tone was dead serious as he said that, making my brows shot up in surprise. “What?” that came out louder than I expected. "You don't want me to accept your offer?" "Yes, you heard correctly. I don't want you to accept my offer." He confirmed, nodding affirmatively. He sat there, unfazed, as if he said the easiest words ever. But

Kiara's POV:-I was preparing an Excel sheet of the expenses estimated for the new equipment we were purchasing for the project. Hunter had decided to visit the factory today only, thus I was working fastly as I had to report it to him before three PM. With my eyes focused on the screen and my fingers working diligently on the keyboard, I heard my phone vibrating on the desk. I ignored the disturbance as I was feeding the numbers in the system, but when it kept vibrating for a longer time; I had to break my concentration and shift my gaze to the phone screen.Pissed off at the caller for disturbing me in the middle of my work, I picked up my phone, only to read Viaan's name flashing on the screen.Responsively, my scowl turned into a smile and I didn't know where the annoyance flew away. "Hello!" I picked up the call, chirping.Okay, how come this sudden change in tone? I wonder what effect this man has on me!"Had your lunch?" Ignoring my greeting, he asked grumpily.Oops! Seems l
