Chapter 13 - SMILE

After lunch, they entered the study and Ezekiel began explaining his plan to both of them.

Ezekiel then said, " We need to make our foundation as fast as possible."

That day, James went and made a call.

"Yes, I am ready to join your mercenary.... What? You have send your men? Naah.. no one came here! Yes am absolutely sure! ...Alright let's meet up tomorrow then."

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the tied up men and said with disdain in his voice, " Such fools! See,even your master doesn't trust you guys."

Ezekeil came to James and asked, "Do you have the data? "

"Yup! It's here. " He opened a file in his computer and showed him. "Look the gang leaders name is Tim. And he has no family, just fools around here and there. Actually, this underground business doesn't even belong to him. It's his brother's. But he killed him and took over.

He has a nephew, who hates him. And the a sole purpose of his life is to kill his uncle, to avenge for his father. That group has five higher-ups, four are leachers like him. Except for one old man, who helps with strategies, finance and some other things, experience thing you know. That man is completely against Tim, so most of the time he is in odds, with the others."

After listening to James report, Ezekiel concluded,"So we have to bring that nephew and the old man to our side? "

"That's right! " James said, while nodding.

"Contact them, and ask them to meet me before midnight tonight."

"Why before midnight? "

"Don't you want to start working there tomorrow? " Ezekiel said.

James face lit up. Oh God! They are going to take it over today itself! And... He started working more enthusiastically.

...

At evening.

Inside the room, Ezekiel was changing Kiara's bandage and listened to her gossips quietly. He felt an odd sense of familiarity with her. There was not even a tinge of discomfort in his heart, even when he just met her for a day.

"OMG! Keil I still can't believe that, we are going to take over that! I mean, it will be our own! I am so excited! You know, I have never done something like this before, trust me...! "

After bandaging, he looked into her sparkling eyes. He liked it when someone was there to be happy for his achievements. "Get ready.. we are going out. " he said gently.

"Huh? Where? " she asked.

"To buy us some clothes and also to meet those two. I can't take you at midnight tonight, but I don't want you to complain." he said while wearing his shirt.

"Hey! Why won't you take me with you to conquer?" She complained while poking his chest with her index finger.

"It's dangerous."

"Do you think it goes for me? "

Ezekiel release a sigh and tucked a strand of her hairs that was near her eyes and said, "Your legs are hurt."

Kiara's face turned red by his actions, "Okay but you have to share your glory with me, alright?! "

Ezekiel nodded and Kiara beamed. But in her happiness, she didn't notice the complicated look in his face.

...

First they went to buy some clothes for Kiara, everytime she wore something and asked him, how is it. He didn't know why his throat would run dry, and he felt hot.

After his somewhat tortuous session, they went to the men's section. He just planned to pick something up casually. But the Miss.Perfectionist with him personally chose and made him wear nearly dozens of clothes before buying them.

When they were exiting the mall she said, "My God.. Keil, you look so good in everything you wear, I am jealous.. "

When Kiara was about to say something, she heard some discussions, nearby ,

"Hey look that man is so handsome."

"Yeah! just a walking and breathing Adonis."

"Do you think I should go and hit on him."

"But I think that's his girlfriend with him."

"No way, see they aren't even holding hands. Must be sister or just a casual fling. "

When Kiara heard those words, she instantly felt very uncomfortable.

For her, Ezekeil was very pure, just like a jade. That night she witnessed his vulnerable side, so she took him to be pure and innocent apart from this gang and mafia matters.

And when she imagined this dirty flings coming and corrupting him, she really felt very uncomfortable.

The next second, she clinged into his arms and said coyly, " Walk faster, darling... Am dying to go back home already... "

And this move, literally left the girl's mouth hanging open.

Kiara smirked in victory.

Babies... I am a pro in this kindda things..

Ezekeil was taken by surprise. Yes, he heard those girls talk but didn't pay heed to it. But...

When they were at a distance, Kiara left his hand and said in a serious tone, "Listen, you illegally very handsome young man. You need to protect yourself from those very harmful perverted girls. You get it? "

Ezekeil smirked and said in a low voice. "But I think last time you said you were perverted too. Should I keep distance from you too?.. . "

But Kiara just stared at him blankly.

Seeing her not answering, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? "

"You smiled, Do you know you smiled...? OMG... you look so handsome we you smile .." she exclaimed all of a sudden .

But hearing her words, his smile stiffened. He really smiled? He thought he won't be able to do it again!

He when he saw her happy face, his face was graced with a heart stopping smile once again.
