9 Accepted 4

The next morning...

Kira has woken up by the alarm clock.

She reached for the bedside table and turned off the alarm clock.

Kira gets up from her bed.

She looks like she hadn't had sleep last night!

There are dark circles around her eyes and she looked tired and sleepy!

Kira sigh!

"Oh! I haven't slept well last night!" She complained!

Kira forced her self to get up and get ready for work.

She takes a bath and changes her cloth before she gets out of her room to eat breakfast.

"Good morning!" Helena greeted Kira.

"Good morning auntie!" Kira replied.

"Come, eat your breakfast before it turns cold."

"Auntie, you should not do the house chores, you should just take a rest in your room," Kira said to Helena.

"Aiyoo! It only makes me feel sick if I stay in my room the whole day!" Helena complained.

"But auntie!"

" Kira dear, You said that you want me to get better, right?"

"Ennn..." Kira nodded her head.

"Then, don't make me feel like I am weak."

Kira looks at her auntie. " I'm sorry if I made you feel weak, auntie."

" It's alright! I know that you're only worried about me."

(ding-dong!)

Their conversation was interrupted by the doorbell.

Kira and Helena turn their heads to the door.

"Just eat here, let me open it," Helena said.

Kira did not insist anymore, she just takes a seat and started eating her breakfast.

But she almost chokes when she heard her auntie called a name!

"Alex!"

Kira heard her auntie called excitedly!

Kira was about to ignore it, but she suddenly remembers something!

She instantly put down her foods and run towards the living room!

"Alex!" Kira called as soon as she reached the living room!

"What brought you here early in the morning?!" She asked with her eyes wide opened!

Alex shouldn't be here!

Kira suddenly felt anxious!

Helena might ask Alex about their "date" last night!

"Oh! It's good that you are here, anyway!"

"I haven't talked to you last night!" Helena said after a while.

"Last night?" Alex looked at Helena with his puzzled look.

"Yes, last night! You were here to fetch Kira!" Helena replied.

"But I---"

Alex paused when he notices Kira is trying to say something through her actions!

Kira gestured Alex to just go with the flow!

She made every action to relay her message to Alex!

Fortunately, Alex is a quick-witted kind of person!

"I... Yeah!" Alex scratched the back of his neck!

"Aiyoo!"

"How was your date with my dear Kira, huh?!" Helena sounds like she is teasing Alex!

"Date?!" Alex's knitted his brows, but then he saw Kira making an action again.

"Ah, Yeah! We go out for a date!" Alex is playing safe!

"Auntie, Alex might need something!" Kira cut Alex and Helena's conversation!

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just got so excited to see him!" Helena apologized!

"Alex, why are you here soo early?" Kira asked Alex.

"Oh! I am on my way to work, and since we work in the same place, I just thought to fetch you to go to work together." Alex explained.

"Y-You're fetching me?" Kira secretly giggled!

She felt like someone tickled her heart!

"Ennn..." Alex nodded with a smile on his face.

"Just wait for me outside! I'll just fetch my things in my room!" Kira said and then she hurriedly runs to her room and took her things!

"Kira, dear! You have not eaten your breakfast yet!" Helena said.

"Oh!"

Kira runs back to the kitchen and took a packed lunch that her auntie made.

"I'll just take this auntie!" She said and then she runs out of the house.

Alex is already waiting for her outside.

He gives her the helmet and Kira took it and wear it before she hops into Alex's motorbike.

Alex held Kira's arm and wrapped it around his waist, " Hold on tight." Alex said before he drives away.

Kira can't help but smile!

Just like Alex said, Kira wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head to his back.

She seems like she is embracing him from behind!

Kira closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

It feels so good to be near to the man that she likes!

How she wishes that this moment would never end!

Alex felt the warmth of Kira's embrace, he looks down to her arm in his waist and he can't help but smile!

Just a moment after Kira and Alex left, the black car arrived and stopped in front of Helena's house.

Helena was secretly watching Kira and Alex from inside the house.

She knows, Kira has something for Alex.

She can see it through her actions, and it made Helena felt more guilty.

Kira might not have a chance to be with the man she likes!

Helena snapped back to her senses when she heard a car's engine.

She saw a car stopped in front of the gate.

Helena gets out of the house and checked on the newly arrived car.

A man in black gets down from the car with an envelope in his hand.

Coby saw the woman standing outside the house, he approached her and greeted her, "Good morning, ma'am, " Coby bowed his head and greeted Helena and then he straightened his body and looks at the woman straight to the eyes.

"I have something to give to Miss Kira Li." He said.

Helena looked at the man in front of her, "She had just left for work." She replied.

"Oh!" Coby blurted out.

"Then, could you give this document to her when she comes home?" He asked as he gives the envelope to Helena.

Helena raised her hand and took the envelope from the man in front of her.

"I will." She said.

"Thank you," Coby replied.

After Helena took the envelope, Coby bowed his head again and left.

Helena stared at the envelope in her hand, she can't open it because it was sealed.

But she sighs!

"I just hope you won't regret your decision, dear," Helena mumbled with a bothered expression.
