Kira rolled her eyes on Tim, "You're just trying to flatter me, don't you?" She asked sternly and then she turned away from Tim and look around the study room.
"..."
Tim was speechless as he looked at his hand mid-air.
'This woman is too dumb!'
'Isn't it obvious?'
' I was trying to be romantic here!'
Tim secretly said inside.
Tim puts down his hand and stared at the woman who's looking around the study room.
Kira stopped pacing around the study room, she turns back to Tim but she froze when she saw Tim staring at her.
Kira automatically frowned, " Hey! What's with that look?!" she asked sternly.
" Do you know that you're making me uncomfortable, huh?!" Kira complained.
Tim smiled, " Do you know that I never lay my eyes to any woman except you?"
"Tsss..." Kira twitched her mouth, "Who are you trying to fool? Huh?!" She asked back!
'Never lay his eyes to any woman?!'
'Such a lier!'
'A successful man like him would surely bring any woman they like in bed!' Kira thought.
"Why did you bring me here, anyway?" Kira changed the topic.
Tim walks towards his table and picks up a piece of paper.
"Come over here," He called Kira.
Kira did not hurry to come close to Tim.
She throws a meaningful look at Tim as if she is sizing him up!
"I won't do anything to you," Tim said when he notices Kira's suspicious look, but Kira did not move from where she's standing.
"What?" Tim asked when Kira did not move.
"Don't you trust me?"
Kira sigh!
"How could I trust a stranger like you?" Kira asked back.
Tim sits down to his swivel chair and crossed his legs.
" I won't force you to trust me, but one thing I can assure you, I will not cause any harm to you," Tim said sincerely.
Kira can see the sincerity of Tim's eyes, just then, she decided to slowly walk towards Tim's table.
"Take a seat," Tim said when Kira reached his table.
Kira looks at Tim before she takes a seat on the chair in front of Tim's table.
Tim pushed the piece of paper in front of Kira.
Kira knitted her brows, "What is that?" Kira asked as she looks at the piece of paper on top of the table.
"The policies and agreement during our married life," Tim replied.
Kira picks up the paper and started to read it.
After reading it one by one, she put it back to the table, with a sour expression on her face.
"Why?" Tim asked when he noticed Kira's expression.
"We will sleep in the same room?!"
"And I have to give you a child?!" Kira asked in an unbelievable expression!
"Yes!" Tim replied without holding back!
"That is what a married couple supposed to do!" He added.
"Ha!" Kira sighs violently.
"Mr. Tan, why you didn't tell me ahead?" she asked.
"Ms. Li, if you don't want this agreement, you still have a chance to retreat," Tim said.
"But, if you retreat, how about your auntie's medical needs?" Tim added.
Kira thinks for a moment.
'This man knows my weakness!'
"So, are you going to retreat?" Tim asked again.
Kira took a deep breath before she spoke.
"What if I am not able to bear a child?"
"It is written there," Tim replied.
"We can have a divorce if you can't give birth to a child."
Kira's eyes lightened up!
"Divorce?!" She blurted out!
"Yes!" Tim replied.
"After two years." He added.
"T-Two years?!" Kira repeated.
"Yes!"
"Can't we make it shorter than two years?" Kira asked.
" Three years," Tim said.
Kira's eyes went wide opened!
"I said shorter, why you make it three years?!" Kira asked in an unbelievable expression!
"Four years?" Tim added one year.
"Hey!" Kira felt frustrated!
"Six---"
"Alright, alright! Two years!" Kira agreed.
Tim grinned, which made Kira felt annoyed!
"Good!" He said.
Kira just rolled her eyes due to annoyance.
"Is there anything you want to add?" Tim asked with a smile on his face.
"You should include my rights to refuse!" Kira replied.
"What do you mean?"
" You can't force me to..." Kira paused when she realized it was a sensitive topic.
"To?" Tim waited for Kira to finish her word, though he already had an idea in his mind of what she wanted to say!
"To..." Kira doesn't know how to say it!
"To what?!" Tim revealed a naughty smile.
"Why don't you say it?"
"You should not force me to have an intimate encounter with you!" Kira finally say it!
Tim's naughty smile went wide!
"Alright!"
"If that is what you want!" Tim added.
"Anything else?"
"I will not quit my job."
" You should not control me, like, stop me from doing anything that I want."
"Sure!" Tim agreed.
"Nothing else?"
"Two more things,"
"Go on and say it."
"I can't leave my auntie, I want to bring her with me if I have to move to your place, and..." Kira paused for a moment.
"I don't want to live here."
Tim knitted his brows when he heard Kira's last condition.
"Why?" He asked.
"I prefer to live in a smaller house," Kira replied.
"Alright!" Tim did not object to every Kira's condition.
"That's all!" Kira said.
"It is settled then, I will let my assistant send the new policies and agreement to your address, I will call you for our marriage's registration."
"Ennn..."Kira nodded her head and then she gets up from her seat.
"We are done here, I shall take my leave now," Kira said before she turns to leave.
" Let's eat first before you leave."
"No need, I'm still full." Kira refused.
"Then let me send you home." Tim offered.
"I can manage to go home."
"I insist!" Tim insisted, he did not give Kira a chance to refused to him again!
He held Kira's hand and grab her to his car.
----
Tim pulled over the car.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get down from the car but Kira stopped her!
"Eh!"
Tim stopped from opening the car's door and he turns his head to Kira.
"Why?"
" Don't get out of your car," Kira said.
Tim leaned back to his seat.
"Why not?"
" My aunt thought that I was with someone whom she knew," Kira explained.
"She doesn't know about you, I don't want to startle her."
Tim seems to understand Kira.
"Alright, I'll stay here." He agreed.
Kira gets down of the car and gets inside the house.
Tim did not hurry to leave, he watched as Kira gets inside the house.
Meanwhile, inside the house,
Helena peeks out of the window, she watched as Kira gets down of the car and gets inside the house and then a tinge of guilt flash into her eyes!
