So far, Kian had been a quiet audience to this debate, but as the nerves soar, he decided to jump in and mediate between the two parties.
"What do you mean?" Mr Merchant looked at him with consternation.
"Let's discuss this over meals," said Kian. "It is celebration time for the team as we have entered the finals of the league championship. It is also dream come true for Alysé, and I wish to celebrate it with her."
Kian decided that it was about time to be upfront about his desire and his intentions. Therefore, unlike the previous celebrations, this was going to be a quiet affair with the Merchant family.
Of course, Alysé would not fall for his emotional appeal. She invited Ryan to dinner. To her Ryan was family. Even though she knew that it would miff Kian, but he needed to learn to accept Ryan as an integral part of her life and stop chasing her.
