Chapter 4 - The Liar And The Lover

Naomi laughed at Kaia's reaction, "It's for a good cause! Think of it as a charity work!" she said. Kaia sighed and nodded at Naomi, "Alright then. For the sake of good cause." she replied. Naomi shrieked and hugged Kai. "Oh my goodness! Thank you!" she said, I'll leave on your magical hands Kai. Surprise me! The party is a week from now. I have to go now, Kairo is probably going nuts looking for me." Naomi added and stood up from the sofa. "See you around!" She said and left Kaia's office. Kaia chuckled at Naomi and went back to her table. She pressed the intercom, "Liah, please inform everyone we have a meeting in 3 hours for a new event." she said.

Kaia checked her phone just to see a message from her three months boyfriend, Lucio. Lucio is everyone's ideal bad ass, but he's not Kaia's cup of tea. He said he'll be picking her up at 5PM. Kaia just replied 'okay.' on the text message. Lucio is an unexpected boyfriend of Kaia, like they are only together right now because of pressure. Kaia doesn't really love Lucio the way he loved her. She only sees him like an older brother or so, but the boy was persuasive enough to tell her to at least give it a try, and Kaia being herself, didn't want to break any heart, agreed with Lucio. But three months had passed and still, nothing changed for her. Lucio was full of efforts, he's sweet, caring, and everything else when it comes to Kaia, but he simply couldn't reach Kai's heart. Kaia decided to drown herself in paper works than to think, of her missing necklace, of Lucio, of the auction and everything else. Kaia was busy reviewing a paper when Liah knocked on her door, "Ma'am everyone's ready for the meeting." Kaia nodded and smiled, "I'll be there in two minutes." Liah nodded at her and left her office. Kaia picked up her notebook and went to the meeting room.

"Hello everyone!" She greeted as she entered the office. "So, we have an event a week from now, so we need to get moving quick. This event is a charity event, and it should be formal. So, can I assign everybody for their works? Mary, I'll assign you in search of the venue, give me a tentative list. Can you do it tomorrow?" Kaia asked one of her staffs, Mary nodded at her and smile. "That's my girl! Mark, can I assign you to make the designs for the venue? The table placings and so on?" She asked, Mark gave her a thumbs up and a smile, Kai smiled back at him. "Sophie, can you handle the foods?" Kai asked, Sophie nodded at her and jotted it down on her notebook. "Great! Liah my love, the invitations, can you give me the lay outs by tomorrow?" She asked. Her secretary nodded and smiled at her. "Patricia, I'll assign you for the lighting and sounds. Can you do that for me?" Patricia nodded. "And of course, Shine! Can you give me a budgeting for this, sweetie?" Liah said. Shine smiled at her, "Leave it to me, ma'am." She replied and chuckled. Kaia chuckled and looked at everyone, "What a team, I have." She smiled. "I'll have all the reports tomorrow, okay? See you! You may all go home now." Kai said. Everyone was excited and left the hall.

After a few minutes, Lucio arrived at Kai's office. "Hey." He greeted her as he entered the door. "Oh hi." Kaia said and smiled. "Shall we eat dinner before going home?" Lucio offered, Kaia smiled and nodded. The both made their way to Lucio's car while telling each other how their day went. This was it, Kaia was the liar and Lucio was her lover.
