4 Kane

They got to the Boron's family mansion, Olivia stepped out of the car and helped her aunt down. Grace decided to carry on with her charade, since it makes her happy. They got into the house already swarming with guests dressed in beautiful tuxedos and gowns.

Friends who knew Grace came to greet her and couldn't help but notice the charming young man who stood beside her, "my my Grace, who is this?" They all asked.

And Grace will always reply with a smile, "meet Oliver, my nephew" and she always chide Olivia when they are gone, "if I lose my friends because I have to tell a lie for you. I will kill you."

And which Olivia always laugh and reply with, "you can just tell them he died should the time come for the truth to come out. After all, don't you have a nephew who is late?" Even though she said that jokingly, Grace didn't miss the pain that flashed in her eyes and she gently squeeze her hand.

"Everything is going to heal with time, you see."

"Grace" a man's voice was heard behind them and they turned to behold the person.

"My, my, Marcus, it's been so long" she let the man kiss her cheeks "how have you been?"

"I have been okay, and you?" Asked the tall, light gray haired man, with dark brown eyes, he looked so young even with his gray hair and people who doesn't know him will never know that he is Marcus Boron, the current chairman of the MavinTech.

"I'm fine Marcus. Where is Natasha? I haven't seen her this evening."

"Oh, she left to make sure that he will be showing up today. He did promise her he will though, she just wants to confirm it."

Grace laughed, she already know who he meant by 'he' "Kane is really stubborn aren't he?"

"Tell me about it. He has been since he was young that I'm kind of getting used to it, if I already aren't" he looked beside her to see the young man standing, "this is my first time seeing you with this young man, who is he?"

"Oh, forgive me. This is Oliver, my nephew, he doesn't visit much so you don't know him."

"But I do now" Marcus smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the man who obliged, "nice to meet you my dear."

"Nice to meet you too sir" Olivia responded in a male's voice "if I wasn't told, I wouldn't believe you to be Marcus Boron. You look so much younger than I expected."

Marcus laughed, "well, what do you know? I like you already" he said.

"Then it's my honor to be liked by you sir" Olivia continued with her praise.

Marcus laughed once more, "I will really love to have a word with you young man but unfortunately, I still need to greet other guests, perhaps some other time?"

"At your Royal service sir" she bowed, making Marcus laughed again as he left to greet other guests.

Grace measured Olivia from head to shoe, "I can't believe you are pulling this off. Well, let's see how far it can go."

"Don't sorry aunt, I'm my brother's sister" she winked at her while Grace chuckled. She still find it difficult how Olivia is able to act like Oliver once she is dressed like a boy.

The party kept getting busier and fun but where is the celebrant? Nobody knows. A lot of girls fawned on Olivia but only brave ones walked up to her and demanded for a dance which she is accepted of course, like the gentleman she is. She later asked Grace for a dance and it happens to be when she was talking to a friend so she can't say now but she still punished Olivia by stepping on her foot twice and laughed while Olivia winced in pain. Now she knows how her brother feels whenever she stepped on his foot while dancing. Damn it's painful, she thought.

After her dance with aunt Grace, people applauded and she turned to see the reason of the applause. Standing at the door that leads into ballroom was a tall man, who from her measurement happens to be the same height with her brother or a little bit taller. He has a jet black hair, styled all back, a beautiful but cold hazel eyes. A full straight peach lips, a nice defined pointed noise and chiseled clean shaven jaw. He was wearing a white dinner coat and a plain navy blue pants, he walked into the ballroom with gentle strides.

Olivia found herself smitten like every other girl in the room, damn, she never knew a man can be so...hot. To her, no man looks more handsome than her brother and she has often wished that her husband will be as handsome as her brother and now, she was finding it difficult to tell between this man and her brother who was more handsome. "Now that? That's Kane Boron, the heir to the throne of MavinTech. Turns out that even though you are dressed like a man, he still got you" she heard her aunt's voice whispering in her ear "careful with the way you stare, so people won't think you are a gay. Now if you were dressed like a girl, I would have let you stare as you want" she looked at her aunt and she was gloating.

Olivia rolled her eyes, "aunt, I'm not going to quit my new hobby just because of a man. Sorry to disappoint you" she smiled and Grace rolled her eyes and walked away.

Just like her aunt said, the newcomer was introduced as Kane Boron and the birthday celebrant, people congratulated him and a lot went to give him a toast to which he accepted with a faint smile. Ladies flirted with him with their eyes and few mustered up the courage to talk to him to which he politely avoided them. Olivia stood aside and watched everything, a smile curled on her lips as she saw the frustrated look in his eyes at the way the girls disturbed him. She found him pretty interesting and really wants to talk to him and if possible make friends with him.

She don't know why but she feels like he could refill the emptiness her brother left in her heart, it won't be bad if she has a male friend for her male character, she is not yet interested in a boyfriend and doubts if she will ever be. She watched Kane try to avoid ladies as much as possible and shared toast with some when necessary. He cut his cake which she saw he did with much difficulty and she knew that if given a single opportunity, he will be out of there. Well, guess she will be his knight in shiny armor and rescue the handsome in distress.

She started walking towards him and she took off two drinks from a waiter's tray before she got up to him, "ladies huh? I have never seen pests bigger than them" she said the joke she had heard her brother and friends say often. She felt like she is a disgrace to womanhood by classifying them like that, after all, she is still a woman no matter what but she will think about that later because her joke, got her the attention of the man opposite her.

Kane heard a man's voice and turned to look, he was surprised at what he saw, the young man was only a head shorter than him, he has this shiny blonde hair that was side swept on his forehead, a sea blue eyes, a natural defined nose, a full heart shaped pink lips and a diamond long face, a clean jaw which looks so smooth like it has never been shaved. He was dressed in a tuxedo and was holding two glasses of drinks with a nice smile which he found strange because it was appealing to him, he waved it at the back of his mind and returned the smile "honestly, they are worst than a bug."

The young man laughed softly at his joke before handing him a drink to which he collected, "allow me to introduce myself Mr. Boron, I am Oliver Simon, at your service" he did a dramatic bow which Kane must admit was a little funny since it wasn't necessary.

"And what will be your service be to me Mr. Simon?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a faint smile on his lips.

"To drive the pests away of course but you must be ready to pay me handsomely."

Kane smiled fully then, "I think they will be happy to be driven away by you since you have a face like that."

"Nah, I'm not the heir to the throne of a big company. What will they want to do with a pretty face and no money like me? Believe me, they will choose you then thousand times over me."

"Then that only means you won't be able to render your services well Mr. Simon."

"If you say so. Then do you mind hiring my next job?"

"And what will that be?"

"To steal you out of here to somewhere far far away, I will be your knight in shiny armor. My name maybe be Oliver but I go with a secret undercover name. Savoir of handsome in distress."

Kane laughed then, "and that is an undercover name? It has already given you away."

"Only a man as intelligent as you can detect that" he smiled and stretched out his hand to him to shook which he did "call me Oliver."

"Kane" he replied "I must have you know Oliver, you just made this night a little interesting for me" he sipped his drink and glanced at the people dancing "my mother has made it a habit to throw a party for me every single year. Last year I didn't even attend" he looked at Olivia.
