7 Accepted 2

Kira and Lea looked at each other.

Helena walks closer to the two ladies in the living room.

"Auntie!" Kira revealed a forced smile!

Helena knitted her brows when she saw Kira is dressed up!

"You're going out?" She asked.

"Huh?!" Kira looked down at her self and then she looks at Helena again.

"Do you have a date?" Helena asked again.

Kira swallowed her saliva!

It took her a few seconds before she was able to speak!

"A-Auntie..."

"I... We..." Kira stammered, she's not good at lying, and she's afraid her auntie might notice her.

Helena's knitted brows got even deeper when she heard Kira's stammering words!

"Auntie! She has a date!" Lea is to the rescue!

Kira throws her friend a meaningful look!

Lea's, mouth move as if she is saying something without a sound!

"Oh dear! You're going on a date?!" Helena asked excitedly!

"Who's the lucky guy?!"

"The lucky guy?!" Kira repeated with her blank expression.

Kira tried to think of a possible guy who would take her to date, without arising her aunt's suspicion!

"It's Alex, auntie!" Kira lied!

Alex is the only person she could think of!

"Oh, Good! Alex is a good man!"

Just then the doorbell ring!

Kira and Lea looked at each other, Lea was the one to peek on the window.

She saw a black car parked in front of the gate.

"Uhmmm... Kira, I think... You should see this..." Lea said.

Kira knitted her brows as she walks to the window.

"Why?" She asked and peeked outside the window.

"I think, your date is here!" Lea said.

"Why won't you let him come in first?" Helena suggested and walks closer to the two ladies.

Kira and Lea looked at each other again.

Fortunately, Lea has thought of a way to divert Helena's attention!

She instantly walks away from the window and approaches Helena.

"Auntie! It's already seven in the evening! Isn't it time for you to eat your medicine?" Lea said and she held Helena's shoulders to prevent her from peeking out of the window.

"Oh!"

"Yeah! I almost forgot!" Helena seems to remember about her medicine.

The two of them turned back, Lea assisted Helena to her room, "I will be your nurse tonight while sister Kira is on her date, alright?" Lea said.

Helena smiled at Lea, " Thanks!"

Kira walks looks at the window again.

'That car looks the same as the car that Mr. Tan used the last time he came here.'

With that thought, Kira walks away from the window, she picks up her bag and spoke, "Auntie, I'm leaving now!" Kira bided her goodbye to her auntie and Lea.

Kira gets out of the house.

She headed to the gate and found the same man in black who came here the other week!

Kira opened the gate, the man in black bowed his head and greeted her.

"Good evening, Miss Li, I am Coby Henderson, Mr. Tan told me to pick you up and bring you to him."

Kira just nodded her head.

Coby opened the back seat door and let Kira sits down before he closed it and rode to the car.

Coby drives away and headed to Tan's residence.

Kira is silent while watching the places that they have pass by.

Kira doesn't know where this man would take her.

After more than thirty minutes of driving, the car stopped in front of a gate.

Kira looked forward but she couldn't find a house ahead of them!

"Excuse me, where are you bringing me?" Kira got alert!

"To Tan's residence ma'am," Coby replied.

The gate slowly opened and Coby drives the car to the inside.

Five more minutes of driving before Kira saw a light from a mansion!

Kira's jaw dropped!

The house is too big!

It is twenty to thirty times bigger than their house!

The car stopped and Coby got out and opened the back seat.

Kira gets down of the car but her gaze never left the house in front of her!

This house is like a palace!

From the lights and the luxurious house to the wide field, with just one look, you can tell that the people who leave here are rich!

"This way ma'am." Coby gestured Kira the way.

Kira looked at Coby and followed him.

The two of them entered the front door.

Kira felt dizzy as she entered the wide living room!

"This is is too big! Were they be able to see each other here?" Kira can't help but ask.

Coby just pressed his mouth and did not answer.

"Mr. Tan has been waiting for you in his study room," Coby said while they are walking.

The two of them went upstairs and they stopped in one of the rooms.

"Please, get inside ma'am," Coby said before he turns to leave.

Kira's hand and feet started to feel cold.

She rubbed her hands before she knocks on the door, but no one answered.

Kira decided to turn the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open.

She slowly entered the room but no one is inside the room.

Kira knitted her brows as she looks around.

The light is a little dim, there is a wooden table in the corner with a stack of files on top of it.

There is a couch, a bookshelves all-around, which made the room looked like a library.

"Hello?" Kira called but no one answered.

"I thought he's here already?" Kira mumbled to her self.

Kira stepped forward but then...

"Hello, my future wife!"

"Ah!" Kira screamed when someone suddenly whispered from behind her!

She was so startled!

Her heart beats faster due to fright!

"Do I sound so scary?" Tim asked as he revealed a sarcastic smile on his face!

Kira turned to face Tim and she glared at him!

"Ya!" Kira yelled!

"You're going to kill me due to a heart attack!" she complained while frowning.

But Tim seems unaffected by Kira's stern look.

He caresses with his finger the strands of hair that fell to Kira's face.

"You looked so pretty in that dress!" Tim said with a smile on his lips.
