"Please be careful, Miss"
Lila spoke to the young woman who was walking out of the house with a stone face. "Yea, thanks" Mara looked back at the girls as her lips formed into a small smile. Lily waved her both hands and grinned. "Don't overwork, Miss" she shouted as the young woman nodded.
The twin sisters and the Husky watched the young woman who went into the taxi. "I want to help her with the works" Lila pouted, they three stepped back into the house as Lily sighed tiredly. "But we don't know how. So we can only help her with the housework"
Lily spoke as Lila nodded in agreement. "I will protect her at all cost!" She threw the hand into the air like a kid. "Mmm! We will protect her together! She is our lives savior" "Yes" the twin sisters grinned and sat down on the lounge. They played with the Husky.
Mara inhaled a sharp breath as she leaned back on the car's headboard. Her left hand had not fully heal yet. But she had to work for money. She could not stay at the home and give her assistant pile of work. She had to act like CEO if she wanted to keep that position.
"Thanks" When the car arrived to the 'Reece' company, the young woman paid the cost and thanked the taxi driver. She quickly stepped into the company with a stone face. The young woman in strapped white crop top and black high waisted pants walked into the company.
Her face was showing boredom.
"Good morning, Miss" the man greeted her with his usual cold face. Mara only replied with a smile as she went out of the elevator. Her eyes fell onto the bag and flower bouquet which Kylo was holding tightly. But she decided to ignore it since she believed it was none of her business.
Mara's steps were directing to the office, ready to work. As she opened the door, the man started talking. "Wait a moment!" Kylo stopped the young woman who was about to walk into the office. Mara turned around with a stone face, waiting for him to continue.
"This is for you" he spoke as handed the bag and flower bouquet. The young woman blinked twice in confusion. She stared into the man's eyes with furrowed eyebrows, not knowing what to do. Why would Kylo give her these things? Was he out of mind or something?
"Someone came and told me to give this to you" Kylo explained. It was when the young woman understood the situation. "Who sent this then?" She questioned, not taking the flower bouquet and Chanel bag from the man. "Aleksander Flynn, he just came and told me to give you this"
Mara raised her eyebrow in surprise. Why would Aleksander Flynn send flower bouquet and Chanel bag? 'Ah! That's right. Alek has a crush on Mara Athena' the young woman shook her head. She forgot the truth for a second. Mara could not help but sighed tiredly like an old woman.
What could she do? All she had to do was, show him the truth and wait until he lose interest in her. She could not do anything because no one would believe her words. Mara could not wait to see Alek's face when he found out the truth.
Mara could cover the truth and play with Alek until she was satisfied if she wanted. But she chose to show him what the truth was and make him leave. She did not want the man who liked her just because of the body she was in. She would not let that happen.
"Alright, thanks"
Mara took the flower bouquet and Chanel bag from Kylo. She peeked into the Chanel bag. She wanted to know what Alek sent. Slowly and slowly, her lips formed into a small smile at the sight of the chanel no 5 eau de parfum spray. Alek really knew the woman's like.
Kylo furrowed his brows as he glared at the Chanel bag. His face was showing displeasement and annoyance. That man who named Aleksander Flynn clearly like the young woman. Kylo gritted his teeth and watched the young woman walking into the office with a smile.
"Tsk.. this is annoying" Kylo frowned tightly and went back to his office. He could not do any works since the smile of the young woman at the sight of Chanel bag was making him frustrated. "Ugh.." Kylo groaned in annoyance, wanting to shut down his brain for a second.
Meanwhile, the young woman was checking the sales. The company's sales began to increase since she started the collaboration with Noah Flynn's brand. People liked the collaboration between her company and Noah Flynn's company.
"This is very satisfying" Mara smiled at the sight of the graph which was going up like an arrow. The young woman continued working till the afternoon came. The door knocking sounds made the young woman stopped working. "Come in!"
As the door opened, her eyes met a pair of aurora green eyes. "What is it?" Mara questioned as she stared into the man's eyes. "It is already lunch time, Miss. What do you want to eat?" Kylo asked with a stone face. His eyes fell onto the floor which he cleaned alone yesterday.
The young woman did not come to company yesterday. Her office floor was covered in blood like a pool yesterday. Since Mara could not come to company after getting injured her hand, Kylo cleaned the whole office for her. He did not want to do though.
He decided to leave the office at first.
But when he realized what was going on, he was done cleaning the office. Kylo started to question himself for being weird. He doubted himself for becoming strange. Mara already knew that Kylo cleaned the office while she was resting at the house.
When she stepped into the office, the office was not like what she expected. The one who would clean her office was none other than Kylo Aaron. Only him knew what happened, so he could be the one who cleaned the office. If others cleaned it, things would be different.
"Let's go together! I will buy you a lunch since you helped me with cleaning the office" Mara closed the laptop and stood up from the swivel chair. "It is fine. I can eat by myself" Kylo's words made the young woman rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Why are you being so tough?" Mara questioned with furrowed eyebrows. "Because I am untrustworthy" Kylo said with a stone face. He still remembered how the young woman did not let him help her and even said he was untrustworthy. Mara shut her eyes.
"Are you still not over about that? I just don't like it when someone helps me. Because it makes me feel weak. There are times where I need help but not every time. So I just said it without thinking twice" Mara shrugged. If she did not explain why, things were going to be super awkward.
Kylo did not respond.
He just stared at the young woman. Then she did not know anything? She just spoke it without thinking twice? She did not notice his intentions? Kylo furrowed his brows, feeling extremely dizzy with thousand of questions in his head. "I understand" he replied.
"Great! Now let's go and fill our stomachs" Mara walked past the man and pressed the elevator button. Kylo quickly followed the young woman. "What do you want to eat?" The man's sudden question made the young woman flinched. "Umm, anything is fine"
Mara answered with a stone face. She could see the man's emotionless expression which was reflecting on the elevator door. She could not help but wondered if he was a real human or not. 'He is like a robot' the young woman spoke in her mind.
Kylo and Mara stepped out of the elevator. They two headed to the car as the driver opened the door for the young woman. "I will do it" Kylo stopped the driver who was about to open the door. Mara looked at Kylo with wrinkled eyebrows, not knowing what's wrong with him.
"Is something wrong?" Kylo asked the young woman who was looking at him with furrowed eyebrows. Mara shook her head and went into the car as Kylo closed the door. The car driver quickly opened the door for Kylo Aaron and went back to the driver seat. He started the engine.
"Where do you want to go, Miss Mara?" He asked the young woman, not knowing where to drive. "I want to eat fried noodles" Mara replied, telling the driver to drive to the restaurant where noodles were available. "I understand, Miss Mara" the driver nodded.
"Ugh!"
The young woman frowned when the sunlight laid on her face. She could feel the heat on her whole body. It was as if she was walking through the hell. Mara leaned back on car's headboard to cover her face from sunlight.
The young woman went out of the car when they have arrived to the restaurant. There was a tightened frown on her face, wanting to catch the sun and throw it away to somewhere. Suddenly the hand's shadow fell onto the young woman's eyes, covering her face from the sunlight.
Mara blinked twice when Kylo covered her face from sunlight with his hand. She never expected that. She thought he would walk behind her and ignore everything like a robot. But he did not. "Thanks.." Mara murmured and walked into the restaurant together with Kylo Aaron.
The man did not reply. He took back his hand and stepped into the restaurant with a stone face. He just did not know what to reply whenever someone thanked him. Mara and Kylo's appearances caught everyone's attention in the restaurant.
Mara decided to sit at the corner where the sunlight could not lay on the table. Kylo sat across the young woman and waited for her to order whatever she wanted. "What do you want to order?" Mara questioned and passed the menu book to the man who was staring at her.
"Just a coffee" Kylo shut the menu book and gave it back to the young woman. "Are you sure? It is lunch time. How can a cup of coffee fill your stomach?" Mara furrowed her brows as the waiter waited for the orders patiently, not interrupting the two.
"It is fine"
Kylo answered with a stone face. His eyes were focused on the young woman in front of him only. "Alright then. Please give me fried noodles and iced coffee" Mara looked up at the waiter and handed the menu book. "Ah yes. Please wait for awhile"
The waiter smiled and blushed when the young woman replied with a small smile. Kylo furrowed his brows at the sight of the young woman smiling at the waiter sweetly. He looked up at the waiter with flames in his eyes, making the waiter ran away in fear.
When the waiter finally left the table, Mara's eyes fell onto the man who was staring at her without blinking. "Do you have anything to ask me?" The young woman raised her eyebrow. This man was staring at her without blinking. He must have something to ask.
If not why would he stare at her without any reason? "Nothing" Kylo shook his head and lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with the young woman. Mara furrowed her brows and tilted her head in confusion. What was happening? Why was he staring at her then?
"If you want something, just ask. Don't stare at me like you are going to bite me. It is little uncomfortable for me" Mara spoke with an awkward smile as Kylo nodded in understatement, still not looking into the young woman's eyes.
'What the heck is wrong with him?'
