Jason strode into the hospital's top floor, a place of luxury and seclusion reserved for the esteemed and influential. As a member of the hospital's owning family, this domain was essentially his.
His chilly gaze settled on Han, who stood attentively. "Mr. von Charles, this is Ms. Kimberly's room. We've prepared her for your visit today, as per your request."
Jason's eyes, devoid of warmth, shifted to the door. Han recognized the subtle cue and swung the door open.
Jason's gaze entered the room first, his eyes scanning the space before settling on the blonde haired woman. She sat on the edge of the bed, her legs dangling above the floor.
Han stepped aside, allowing Jason an unobstructed view.
"The young miss is ready to be discharged, sir," Han added, his voice measured. "The medical staff has ensured her stability for release."
Jason's expression remained impassive, his voice laced with detachment. "Why does she look so… plain?"
As soon as the man entered the hospital room, Kimberly's gaze shifted upward. She seemed eager to know who her savior was. Mr von Charles, she had heard the nurses talking about him nonstop.
He might be a big shot, but she was sure he wasn't anywhere near her family in terms of fame and wealth, but the person had saved her life anyway. She still had questions and a feeling of anticipation even though she looked calm.
As soon as she set eyes on his face, her heart skipped a beat. She felt her stomach turn but forced herself not to show any sign of affection.
Despite her calm demeanor, Kimberly's heart fluttered as their eyes met. Her stomach twisted into knots, but she suppressed the feeling, and kept her gaze neutral.
She watched him size her up from head to toe and dared to call her 'plain' . She felt hurt, but kept a straight face, like she didn't just hear him speak.
Han on the other hand tried to control his smile as the lady's gaze fell on them. " Sir, she's just recovering, I'd advise we give her time."
" Hello, ma'am. My name is Han, and this here is my boss, Mr Jason von Charles, of the Grand Von empire." Han Introduced with a proud grin. He was obviously impressed by her beauty standards even after recovering. It was understandable for his boss to make such a remark, afterall he has met people from various places all over the world, and they were obviously high class women.
Even without any make up, she still beat many in his opinion. Kimberly got up from the bed as she tried to maintain her composure. The black haired stranger had surely made her feel a little insecure of her looks with that remark upon first glance. At least his assistant was nice.
She did feel a little intimidated by his gaze, and his thick aura, but she made her expression very neutral. She decided if she also wanted to make an impression, she mustn't show any sign of weakness. If she is weak how is she supposed to take her revenge? She thought to herself, and instead of looking down like most people would, she gazed directly into his eyes. " Hello, Mr von Charles. Hello, Mr Han, my name is…" she paused for a moment before she continued, " Kimberly."
Jason watched as she introduced herself, with her gaze up, and her face devoid of emotions. He chuckled within himself. He knew this was an act. After all many women had tried this tactic to get him. Pretending not to be intimidated or interested so that his interests would be piqued.
Well, she didn't need to do much anyway, since he had plans for them already. " Kimberly doesn't have a surname?" He asked, making sure to deepen his tone.
Kimberly's expression remained impassive, but she bit her tongue inwardly as she cursed. She didn't want to reveal her full name in the first place, but he sounded serious. " Kimberly Harrison." She answered. There was no use in hiding it anyway. She just needed the man's reasons for saving her life, his rank in the business world, and status.
She needed all the information since she hasn't really come up with a solid plan yet.
" I thought as much." The man chuckled darkly, making her heart skip a beat. " Han." He called, and Han stepped forward to hand him his phone.
Jason collected the phone from him, and with a few clicks done, he spoke up. " Come closer, Kimberly."
Kimberly had a frown etched on her face, this breaking her impassive facial expressions. " Excuse me?" Just because he saved her life doesn't give him the right to talk to her as he pleases. She really doesn't enjoy being pushed around. He was acting like he had rights to control her. She wasn't one of his employees.
" Have you suddenly lost the ability to hear properly?" Jason asked with his tone growing colder. " I said come closer, don't make me repeat myself."
Kimberly hardened her face, and stared directly into his eyes, " Just who are you to order me around? I'm sorry, but I have never recalled meeting you before."
Han's eyes widened in shock. No one had ever dared to talk back at his boss like that before, not even his family members. Does this woman realize the mistake she's making? She's putting both their lives at stake! He'd been the one to suggest saving her in the first place. Han gulped, and proceeded to speak, when he saw his boss hold up his phone with his orbs darkened.
" Fine then. Catch!" He raised the phone to his chest level, and tossed it towards her head at a wicked speed.
Han recognized that look on his face. He aimed to either kill her or knock her out! He is, after all, a very impatient man. He had done this on several occasions, usually with anything he was holding, and it never ended well with the victims of his throws.
Kimberly's eyes immediately matched the movement of his hand, and she raised her hand to catch the phone instantly. The impact of the phone against her hand was harsh. She raised her head up instantly to meet the nonchalantly look in his eyes, and a dreadful look on Han's face. What was that about?
Han's jaw dropped instantly. " She caught it…"
Kimberly heard Han speak, and checked the phone. " Kimberly Harrison, the CEO of Novaspire Tech missing." She saw the headline of the article and saw the date which it was published. It was three days after the accident.
" It has been confirmed that she committed suicide after she had been caught cheating on her boyfriend." After reading this, her eyes widened in shock. " What?!"
