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. One or two tears of Ria and she would forget or even forgive the couple in an instant.But this time Cathy won't let this happen. She can't let Kiara make fun of herself. That's why before Kiara could say anything to Ria's words Cathy spoke first.Ria bit her lower lips to stop herself from bolting out. If it was any other time and Max wasn't there, Ria would have lashed out long ago.However today she already won the race. She didn't want to lose herself because of Cathy's nonsensical words. Today she not just wants to maintain the decorum of the argument but also wants to look all graceful in front of Max. She wanted to show how much better she is than Kiara.Before Ria could start again, Max standing beside her walked forward and stood in front of Kiara as he spoke with guilt clearly visible in his tone."Kiara, can we talk alone? I really want to talk to you. I have wanted to talk to you ever since all this started. But you never came for me. Can we talk now at least?"Hearing that Kiara's neck tilted a little. Rolling her tongue with amusement she looked at Ria to enjoy her despair look.Because of Max's words, Ria just got more insulted in front of everyone. Her fiance is actually asking her to leave so that he can talk to his ex-girlfriend to sort out his relationship. Such a big slap on her face."What do you mean by this Max!" Ria lost all her fake grace the moment she heard him. She wasn't unaware of Kiara's eyes on her. Although Kiara wasn't smiling or smirking, but her eyes were saying everything. And that brings her all losses back to her."Do not create a scene. After what we have done to her she deserves an explanation and my apology. And I don't think that can be possible while you stay here." Max strictly spoke.Today he came here not because he wanted to apologize to Kiara with Ria, beside him as his fiance. He cared less what others would say, but he wanted to talk to Kiara alone at least for once. He wanted to let out all his feelings for her for the last time.He knows that Ria only came here so that she can show off and humiliate Kiara openly just to satisfy her ego. He knows her hatred for Kiara from day one. And he doesn't care much about it from the very beginning. As long as he has Kiara by his side he cared less about her side of the story."You got to be kidding me. You actually think that you can actually ask for this after what you have done to her?" Cathy unbelievably looked at him. "Don't you have any conscience? I know that you were never a good man let alone a gentleman, but as a human, you still dare to ask for this? Waah such an assh-""Cathy." Kiara strictly called her. On her call, Cathy instantly stopped. "How many times have I told you to not use such foul language.""...sorry." Besides being a kind woman Kiara is also known for her poise and courtesy. She never allows Cathy to cuss in public. In private it's a given thing, but in public, she asks her to never lose her composer until or unless someone touches her bottom line.Max pursed his lips. Seeing how different and perfect Kiara is, he again felt his loss. Letting go of Kiara will be his biggest guilt and the worst regret of his life."Kiara-""Max let's stop here." Kiara interrupted before he could say another word."Huh?" He confusedly looked at her."I know why are you here and why your so-called lover is here. I don't care about your apologies so why don't you leave first because accepting your apology is the last thing I would do in this life."Hearing that Cathy and Ria happily smiled. Where one was glad to know that her best friend is not letting her down, Ria was happy to know that Kiara is so hurt by them that she isn't able to forgive them. Hurting her badly is all she ever wanted."Kiara you know how much I love you." Max firmly said."What!!! Max!!!" Ria shouted in anger right away."Shut up at once!" Max yelled back. Looking back at Kiara he continued. "I would never leave you if it wasn't for my family's future. No matter what, I can't betray my family for my selfish love. With you, I would never be able to achieve what my father always wanted for me. I am not saying that you are wrong but you are too much ambitious for me to hold. Betraying you were more right to me than betraying my family. I-"'Khhkh' Kiara couldn't help but chuckle in the end.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
"So you finally got the time to have dinner with me?" James grumbled as he spoke to the girl who just walked inside the room.Kiara apologetically smiles. It's been a few days since she had dinner with her grandfather. Seeing him having dinner alone does make her feel guilty. "I am really sorry grandfather. This will never happen again." "As long as you know." Kiara took her seat beside James. While they were in the middle of their dinner, Kiara curiously asked. "Where is sister?""Don't know." James right away said."Huh?" Kiara frowned a little."What?" Hames nonchalantly asked back."She isn't back. Are you not gonna ask her where she is?" Kiara spoke."...""Grandfather.""What? She hasn't come back home since that incident happened." His nonchalance took over his reasonable mind."But it's been more than a week since that happened." Kiara stated.James agreedly nodded to her words. "Exactly. It's been more than a week since your sister came back home.""What? She never came bac
Few days later-"Aren't you tired of all these meetings every single day?" Cathy asked as she placed the chocolate drink in front of Kiara."Ohh do not let me start on that girl. I would have been fine if it wasn't about the dates I have to attend every single day because of YOU!" Kiara almost shouted out loud in anger. Since the first blind date she attended, her grandfather insisted her to go on again with the same man."Hey! That's mean! I was worried about you. And my ideas are actually fine. Otherwise Mr. Walker would never have agreed to it." Cathy proudly looked at her friend."..." Kiara had nothing to retaliate. It might have been okay if she was a devil or an emotionless person. But opting for such options knowing how wrong it is, is totally idiotic to her."So I heard that you are meeting that politician's son again tonight." Cathy asked."Hmm.""Why?""Grandfather thinks that he is the best option for me.""What about you?""I highly doubt my grandfather's choice." Kiara
"Hello Miss Walker.""...""Miss Walker?" He called her again.Kiara hurriedly came out of her stupor. Taking one little deep breath, Kiara calmed herself a little before asking. "Who are you?"At first she might have believed that the man walked into the wrong room. But hearing him calling her surname, it's a given thing that he knows her and he particularly came for her here.Strangely she got all different emotions but again she couldn't remember a single thing about this man.Hearing that question he smiled a little. Taking off his coat, he pulled his chair right in front of Kiara's seat, as he sat down. "You don't remember me?" He asked back with a smile.Seeing his smile Kiara instantly realised how rudely she was talking to him. Even though they don't know each other, she isn't supposed to behave like this to anyone, until they are on the bad side of each other."I am sorry. I was impolite. But I am really not able to remember any of our meetings." Kiara smiled back and said.
