Chapter 33 - Accusation 5

In the afternoon, Kira got out in the second gate.

She stretched her neck and searched for Tim's car but she couldn't find it!

Kira frowned, Tim promised her to fetch her from work, and he is usually early when he fetches her, but why hasn't he arrived yet?

Kira took her phone and called Tim.

"Hello, sweetheart?" Tim answered.

"Tim, where are you now?" Kira asked.

Tim unconsciously glances at his wristwatch and realizes that it is time to fetch Kira from work.

" I'm sorry, sweetheart, I didn't notice the time!" He said.

"Oh! Are you busy?" Kira asked.

"No---" Tim's word was stuck in his mouth when Coby suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Tan, here are more files that need your approval." Kira heard Coby's voice.

"Hey, I think you're busy," Kira said to Tim.

"Uh, I'm sorry sweetheart, I was out of town and left my work for a few days. So, I got a lot of files to review." Tim apologized.

Kira smiled, "You don't need to apologize, I understand. You have a big responsibility in the company."

"I'll let Coby fetch you at work," Tim said.

"There's no need, I can take a cab. You might need Coby there." Kira refused.

"But sweet ---"

"Hubby, don't worry about me, your wife will be alright, okay?" Kira insisted.

Tim automatically smiles as soon as he heard Kira's endearment.

He seems to forget Kira's next words.

"Alright then." He agreed.

"Bye." Kira ended the call.

Tim put down his phone while still wearing a smile on his face.

"Should I fetch the Missus, sir?" Coby asked when Tim put down the phone.

"No need---" Tim froze when he realizes something...

Did he just allow Kira to take a cab?

"Wait, I'll just call her back! " Tim hurriedly took his phone and called Kira.

After a while, he spoke,

"Sweetheart, stay where you---" Tim paused for a moment as if listening to the other line.

"You're heading home now?"

"Oh! Alright! Take care." Tim said and then he ends the call.

He looked at Coby again, "She already takes a cab."

Coby nodded his head.

"Do you need anything else, sir?" Coby asked.

"Just make me a cup of coffee, please," Tim replied.

"Alright, sir!"

Coby nodded his head and he turns to head outside the office, but his footsteps came to a stop when he remembers something.

Coby turned back to Tim and ask, " Mr. Tan, I just remember, how is the Missus' burn in her arm? "

Tim stopped reading the file in his hand and he looked up to Coby, "How did you know it?"

He asked and throw Coby a suspicious look.

Coby seemed to understand Tim's look to him, "Uhm..." He gulped!

'Oh, boss! Please don' t get jealous of me! '

' I didn't do anything! ' Coby wants to cry.

"Please, don't misunderstand me, sir." He started to explain.

" I... I have just seen her burn when I went to the Villa to fetch the documents that you've asked for." Coby explained.

"I'm sorry if I haven't told you about it right away, sir, it went out of my mind. " Coby added.

"Oh," Tim blurted out as he heard Coby's explanation.

"It is getting better now." He said.

"Oh, good then, I hope that Madame Gezel won't be too rude to the Missus, again." Coby blurted out unconsciously.

Tim's brows automatically knitted.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Huh!?" Coby looked at Tim.

"Does my auntie has something to do with the burn on Kira's arm?"

"Uhm..."

"Mr. Tan, there is something that you should know," Coby added.

"What is it?"

"The Missus said that she accidentally spilled a newly boiled water in her arm, but I overheard the servants talking about it and they said that..." Coby paused for a moment as if having second thoughts.

"That?" Tim waited for Coby to continue.

Coby cleared his throat before he spoke again, "That the Madame was to one who did it."

"What?!" Tim blurted out.

"The madame was the one who splashed hot water to the Missus."

Tim's expression instantly turned dark as he gritted his teeth and without saying a word, he gets up from his seat and picks up his car's key and stormed out of his office!

"Uh..." Coby was left speechless.

-----

After paying the driver, Kira gets down of the taxi and gets inside, but Madame Gezel, Gaile and three other men in black are in the living room waiting for her arrival.

Madame Gezel gets up from her seat as soon as she saw Kira.

"So, you're here!" Madame Gezel said sternly.

Kira sighs when she saw Madame Gezel with her stern expression, " I don't want to fight with you auntie," She said.

"If you don't want to fight with me, give it back to me, then." Madame Gezel suddenly said, still wearing her stern expression.

Kira knitted her brows, "What should I give to you?" She asked.

"I know that you know what I mean." Madame Gezel said coldly.

" What are you saying, auntie?" Kira asked with her puzzled look.

She doesn't know what Madame Gezel's saying!

"Oh, stop playing innocent Kira!" Madame Gezel's voice raised.

"Auntie, please calm down," Gaile said while stroking Madame Gezel's back.

"I don't know what you're talking about, auntie," Kira said.

Helena heard the noises and she went to the living room and approaches Kira.

"What are you doing to Kira again, Gezel?" Helena asked sternly.

"Oh! The auntie!" Madame Gezel said sarcastically.

" I am just trying to get back something from Kira," she said coldly.

"I have nothing to give you, auntie." Kira insisted.

"Alright, then I'll find it!"

"Go to her room and find my necklace!" Kira commanded the three men in black.

Kira got even more confused, "What?"

"Necklace?" She repeated.

'What necklace is she saying?' she asked her self.

"Go!" Madame Gezel shouted to her men.

The three men in black instantly followed Madame Gezel's instruction and they went upstairs.

Madame Gezel and Gaile followed them.

"Hey!" Kira yelled to the men when she realizes where they are heading and she followed upstairs to stop them!
