“What a pleasant surprise, Miss Jones?” the voice sent chills down her spine. She stood rooted in her place. The hair on her neck rose, sensing the presence behind her. “How come you are here?” A voice from behind her halted her feet. “Or is it that you can’t resist following me everywhere?” The person stepped closer to Kiara, whispering in her ears. She didn’t have to turn around to find who had called her from the back. She can recognize the voice even in her deepest slumber. but the question was how come Viaan was here? Yes, the same question that he asked her was the question interrupted her mind.'Probably, he had some business here!' She reasoned herself, not pondering much over the coincidence.She exhaled a quick breath, calming her mind. The girl knew he was trying to intimidate her, and no way on earth she would let him have the satisfaction of the situation. She tilted her neck and looked straight into his eyes, curling her lips in a small smirk. “Seems like Mr. Adams h

“Because I know you, boss.” Leo sniffed a quick breath, turning his eyes towards Viaan. Licking his lips, he stated, “I know that this is not your legit anger but the frustration you’re feeling deep inside of you. It is that annoyance that is coming out in your pissed mood. And all this is because you are deep down troubled processing everything.” He paused once again, slowing down the car at a certain pace, then continued. “You want to believe that she means nothing to you and you want to see her suffering. Which is not true, and that’s why you are frustrated.”Viaan looked at his bodyguard for a long silent minute, “You’ve mastered the art of long lectures I see!” He muttered, then straightened his posture, facing the front, and snarled. “But, I must say, what you said is absolutely correct. Indeed, I’m frustrated.”Leo looked at him while driving and smiled, but before he could say something, Viaan turned his eyes back to him and said in a deep, vibrating voice. “I am frustrated… n

“You are my new boss?” Kiara looked at the man sitting on the chair with a wide grin plastered on his face and her eyes widened on their own. “Hunter?” “You know him?” Robin snapped his head at the girl and then at his boss, who let out a chuckle at Kiara’s stunned face. “Robin, you may leave now.” Hunter dismissed the man when he realized that Robin was also present there. Getting the orders from his boss, Robin had to leave unwillingly. He spared a last curious glance at Kiara before walking out of the cabin. “Good morning, pretty lady!” Hunter got up from his chair and walked up to Kiara. He forwarded a hand for a shake. “You seriously are my new boss?” Kiara repeated the question in disbelief. Her forehead creased with fine lines of confusion as her mind tried to process it all. Hunter chuckled once again, pushing his hands into his pocket. “Seems so!” He teased, playfully. “What does that mean?” The answer had got her more confused. The frowns deepened on her forehead. Hun

Thud! Thud! Her heartbeats roared as she walked forward with hesitant feet. Her eyes blinked frequently, a sheer layer of fear was gripping her heart. ‘It’s okay, Kia, he won’t eat you!’ Kiara consoled herself, muttering under her breath. Frightened by the thought of facing him again, she pulled her lip under her teeth and bit them harshly. Unconsciously, her hands were strangling the poor straps of her bag, too! Thud! Thud! She felt the loud palpitations shaking her whole body as she stepped into the reception area of an apartment. Kiara gulped once again, looking at the modern entrance of his place. It was huge… it was luxurious. Every single inch screamed money as long as the lady spanned her eyes. His own space that he bought with his first significant achievement, as she heard Leo explain. “This way, Miss Jones!” Leo showed her the walking area beside the reception. “Hmm…” A faint hum escaped her throat, looking at the neutral face of the man. Twenty minutes ago, when he

Viaan didn’t wait for her and held the papers up in his hands. “This is the answer!”The four words reverberated in the hall, gaining a suspicious glance from Kiara. She scrutinized his face and then the file in his hand.“What is it?” She questioned, sounding alert; fine lines creased her forehead. Her prying eyes took a calculative peek at the white papers, which he extended to her and walked to the sofa.Kiara flipped the transparent cover over the file, wondering about the inner contents. Her heart thudded against her chest, dreading something unpleasant.“Read it yourself!” She heard him utter nonchalantly while her eyes glued to the content with eyes full of suspicion. Her fingers tightened over the pages as she continued reading, holding her breath. Viaan observed the frequency with which her eyeballs moved across the page. Perhaps her mind tried to grasp everything with that stress in her facial expressions.A mischievous curve tugged his lips into a smirk. His eyes shone with
