Chereads / THE DEVIL'S LEDGER / Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

They began eating and talking about a lot of stuffs about themselves.Kyle looked towards the dance floor where groups of lovers or couples were, waiting for the music.The music began to play.Kelly's eyes were focused on the dance floor with a smile.Kyle looked at her and said,"may I have the pleasure for this dance."She nodded and he took her hands in his.

They stepped onto the dance floor, surrounded by the warm glow of candles and the soft strains of a live jazz band.The luxurious decor of 'Bella Vita' faded into the background as they lost themselves in the music.Kyle took Kelly's hand and they glided across the dance floor.Kelly felt a rush of excitement as Kyle's strong arms enveloped her, guiding her through the steps.

The world around them melted away, leaving only the music and the dance.Kelly's eyes locked onto Kyle's as they twirled across the dance floor.The music soon came to an end and they exited the dance floor.'It was time to go home.'Kelly thought.

......

Kelly had been acting as Tristan's secretary for a week now and though the stress had not been reduced,she was okay than before.She was in her office when Kyle entered,a smile on his face.She was busy with some designs so she did not notice that he was there.After a while,he cleared his throat and she looked up at him and said,"oh,sorry.Come have a seat."He smiled and took a seat in front of her desk.

He was not in his usual formal wear but in a casual yet stylish attire.Right then,she knew he didn't come for work but for her.With a charming smile,he said,"Kelly I was wondering if you would like to join me for a party this weekend? It's going to be a fun night with great music and amazing company."Kelly stopped designing and looked at him.She raised an eyebrow and a hint of a smile played on her lips.

Kyle continued,"it will be a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and you will surely enjoy the music."The more Kelly listened to him,the more she felt her resistance breaking.He knew how to persuade her.He mentioned a lot of things and she liked almost all of them."That sounds like a lot of fun.I would love to join you."She said with a smile."I would come and pick you up."He said and stood up from his seat.He walked away and she smiled looking at his back view.

Right after he left her office,Rachel entered with a not so good expression."What is wrong?Are you okay?"Kelly asked,concerned for her friend.Rachel looked at her and said,"bad news Kelly.Very bad news."Kelly was confused so she asked,"What bad news?""It is not particularly a bad news but it is.A rumor about you and Kyle Robertson."Rachel said taking a seat and relaxing."Can you explain better?"Kelly asked."Oh yes I can.That is why I am here after all.Everyone is saying you are dating Mr.Robertson."Rachel said and Kelly rolled her eyes,"It is a lie,we are just friends."Kelly said,not showing much concern for the rumors.

Rachel knew her friend did not understand the severeness of the situation."That is not it,Kelly.They are also saying that you used your relationship with Kyle to get your position as head designer.This convinced many people you know?You just came not long ago and you were made the head designer.Those who liked you have turned against you because of words from a bunch of jealous fellows."Rachel said frowning.Kelly frowned too and said,"so the only way to clarify myself is to stay away from Kyle,right?"Rachel nodded.

"That is not even the main reason I think you should stay away from him.He is a dangerous person too.He has played with many girls and I do not want you to get hurt."Rachel said with a worried expression.Kelly smiled and nodded.Rachel left her office and Kelly sighed.She closed her eyes to clear her mind of many things.

Tristan was signing some papers in his office when Kyle entered.
