But the truth is Oliver has stayed in his penthouse, not the mansion. And, that penthouse is far from the place Kyra goes for her morning jog/cycling. He told a white lie this time because he wanted to see her before going to work.
After telling her his feelings for her, he felt more relieved and liberated. And, her assurance that she feels special about him has wiped away his insecurities, which made him more brave to pursue his happiness.
He couldn't sleep last night as he was repeatedly thinking about yesterday's events. One thing was clear and that is, he couldn't miss her.

After talking to Oliver, Kyra swiftly changed her outfit and jotted down where she was going. Then, she quickly drove to the park. If it was a normal day, she would have jogged but she didn't want Oliver to wait for her.
And, by the time she reached, Oliver was already waiting for her with two bicycles. He wouldn't have reached this fast if he hadn't left early from his mansion. And, he called her only after travelling half the distance.
"Hi.", Kyra said and subconsciously, her voice was tinted with shyness.
"Hello to you too," Oliver said, looking at her with his soft eyes.
"You already rented the cycles,"Kyra noticed.
"Hmm.", Oliver hummed in response as he passed her one of the cycles.
"It seems like we both wear the same color every time." he said as he embarked his bicycle.
It was only when Kyra noticed it. She is wearing a black cycling outfit and so was he.
"This is not a rare coincidence. We both prefer minimalistic colors and especially black.", Kyra said.
Oliver smirked. He doesn't know why but he likes her bossy and sharp attitude more…
"Well, it is true but how do you explain the red piping and the same brand?", he huskily asked as he cycled close to her.
Kyra smiled, enjoying the simple, trivial talk.
"Mr. Miller, this brand is a famous clothing line and black, red is the best and most frequently used combination." Kyra said.
"You are the best party pooper, Ms. Collins. Do you know that?" Oliver asked playfully.
"People often say that, Mr. Miller. Seems like it is my specialty.", Kyra said, as she sped forward.
Oliver laughed and cycled to reach her pace.
They cycled leisurely, enjoying each other's presence and nature's beauty.
They had short, fun talks like this once in a while, laughing and smiling all the way.
After a half an hour or so, they stopped at the river side, where they could see the sunrise. Parking their bicycles, they sat down on the grass and Oliver passed her water bottle and clean towel.
"It's fun cycling with you," he said, wiping his sweat away.
"But someone just said that I am a party pooper.", Kyra said with a smirk, raising her left eyebrow at him, her eyes playful.
"Seems like Ms. Collins loves holding grudges as well.", Oliver said, imitating her gestures and tone.
Kyra laughed and looked at the horizon filled with warm, golden rays.
"It's actually fun and I love spending time like this with you." she said, lost in the happiness and serenity.
Oliver was taken aback as Kyra is not someone who openly talks about her feelings.
But, when he saw her, he realized that she said it subconsciously and had not yet registered what she had just said.
But a smile made it to his lips. As she said it subconsciously, it means she really meant it.
Oliver didn't reply and focussed on enjoying the sunrise with her. How good it would be if they could do this every day… welcoming the sunrise every morning and the moon every night…
-------
Meanwhile, Oliver's grandfather was in no mood to see the sunrise unlike this grandson who enjoyed it to his fullest and was now on his way to work.
"They progressed this much and you didn't know??", he yelled as he threw the iPad at Roger.
Roger was startled and he felt a lump in his throat when he saw two pictures in Chairman Miller's iPad.
First one is Oliver and Kyra holding each other during the sunset. From the surroundings he could recognize that it is Oliver's research facility.
"This..", Roger stuttered, his voice trembling with fear.
"It's taken yesterday evening," Oliver's grandfather yelled.
Roger nodded his head and swiped left to see the other picture.
It is Oliver and Kyra sitting on the grass, enjoying the sunrise with smiles on their lips. They were sitting closely, their shoulders touching.
"It was taken this morning, just a few hours back." Oliver's grandfather yelled.
"Sir, Mr. Miller assigned me business work and has kept me on a tight schedule. I have not followed him for two days.", Roger said.
As Oliver has not texted or went to see Kyra, he presumed that they had some misunderstanding. But who would have thought that their relationship will bounce back with 2X speed?
And, he is not a spy to keep track of his boss's every move! He is a personal secretary for God's sake who has to follow his boss's orders and relieve from his work after working hours.
If Oliver is meeting Kyra at work hours and doing all these, he might be able to watch them and do something but, his boss meets Kyra only after working hours!!
