Chapter Two
1599 Words
Kennedy's POV:
"Are you done?" I asked her.
"I'm done eating but I am not done watching him sip his wine glass."
I almost laughed with the voice she just used! It's just so seductively hot!
"I wonder... What's the feeling to be a wine glass and get a taste of his lips?" She asked while fantasizing the man and his wine. I laughed because of her weird behavior at the moment.
I shook my head and wiped my lips using the clean table napkin cloth.
"I'll just do my business." I informed her before going to the comfort room. It is located at the end of the hallway near the kitchen.
I'm washing my hand when someone entered the comfort room. Our gazes met and I almost smirked by myself! I wonder how Khione is doing at the moment? Her crush is here. Did she follow him?
He did his business and after that, he stand beside me in the sink. I'm watching his reflection on the mirror. He raised his right eyebrow and there's a ghost of smirk in his lip while he's washing his hands.
"Do I have dirt on my face, mister?" He asked and met my gaze on the mirror. "Do I?"
I blinked my eyes and it seems like his question brought me back to reality.
"Ahh, no, I'm just curious about your haircut. I wonder who your barber is?" I removed my gaze and started drying my hands. Damn! I'm almost caught off guard! Thankfully, I noticed his new haircut! I found an alibi.
"Ah, I just had this with my personal barber at the Virgil Mall." He informed me.
I just nod and didn't say anything after that.
Virgil Mall? That is one of the high end malls here in the city and the whole country. And if I'm not mistaken, they started branching out overseas. He must be living in a luxurious life as well. Despite the fact he is not wearing a working uniform or long-sleeved polo that's usually worn in the office and he's just wearing a cool casual outfit, he seems to be an elite. Why the hell I've never seen him in one of the elite social events? Is he a very private person?
"You look familiar." He said. I look at him with a little shock on my face that I immediately suppressed.
"Really? I didn't know." I laughed. How does he know me?
"I saw you in the Elite Bachelors' Magazine. The Hottest Billionaire Who Never Plans to Settle Down". It was you, right?"
I'm not sure if he's mocking me or he's being honest. D*mn! My forehead creased. My eyebrows met. I am not sure about his behavior.
"Oh, man! Don't get me wrong. That's what really written on the title!" He laughed and dried his hand. "I always buy Elite Bachelors' Magazine. Are you the hot rising sun of the Arizonas?"
"Cloud." I lend my hand and he shook it.
"Nice! Mr. Cloud Arizona, right? If I remembered it right..." He laughed. "By the way, I'm Yvan Reyes."
So, that's the name... Yvan Reyes.
Reyes?
That doesn't ring a bell. I haven't heard that surname. Maybe he's not in the social power.
But I was not mistaken to predict that Khione su
I headed out first because Khione is surely waiting for me already. But, I saw Khione standing by the women's comfort room. She's not waiting for me, I'm sure of that. She's waiting for her crush, Yvan.
"KEN!" She shouted as she saw me. Dmn! She's shouting as if we're very far from each other! For Pete's sake, we are just a meter away!
Her gaze is not directed on me, but behind me. I laughed because of her funny reaction. Surely, Yvan is behind me. I also looked at him and when our gazes met, he smiled tapped my shoulder before finally passing by on me. Our height is not far from each other. I think, I'm only 2 inches taller than him.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" She hysterically asked me in the car. We're on our way to the Virgil Mall where her favorite stores are located.
"WHY YOU TWO SEEMS SO CLOSE ALREADY?!" She shouted again on top of her lungs. Where did she get all those oxygen?
"WHAT DID YOU TWO TALKED ABOUT?" She intriguingly asked me.
"Khione , calm down! You are so noisy. Lower your voice, please." I said, trying to suppress my laugh by biting the side of my cheeks.
"NOT UNLESS YOU TELL ME!"
"Okay, fine, fine! We just talked about your date."
Of course, I lied. I just want her to make a little imagination for my peace of mind.
"Really?! You are not kidding, right?! Oh my God!"
My laughter exploded because of the sudden change of her reaction! Damn... This woman is insanely not normal. I'm sure of that.
She kept on chattering and making plans about her undated date, about what she'll wear, where they will eat, where they will go after their date, what perfume she will use, how she will response when he greets her, if she should use "Hi" or "Hello" and a lot of crazy stuffs.
She bought lots of shoes which according to her are necessary. She also bought a lot of clothes for her date, she feels that every clothes fits her perfectly.
"Why don't you just buy the whole store?" I curiously asked her while she's busy checking the limited edition purse.
The sales lady restrained herself from laughing at what I said. I raised my eyebrows, she's listening, huh?
"Never. I will kill the fun I'd set for myself. Besides, if I bought the whole store, I have nowhere else place to put my money. I'm a capitalist as well, I might crash down the capitalism if I do that. The money world needs a customer like me." She winked at me before heading to the counter.
The sun had set already when we got back to the office. There were only a few employees left that didn't even notice my presence. My secretary were not there anymore but she left a copy of my schedule for tomorrow. My head hurt to see that I only have enough time for lunch. Damn.
Khione immediately went to the sofa and made herself comfortable. She grabbed some of the magazines on the coffee table, trying her best to entertain herself with those articles. I started to be suspicious with her actions today, but I immediately put it at the back of my head when my laptop turned on. I have works to do!
"Take your time. I'm not rushing to go home." She said while moving to the next page of the magazine that she's reading.
I loosen up my necktie. "I know, you're already satisfied for today's service." I said that made her laugh.
My office was enveloped in a comfortable silence that our only noise was my typing on my laptop keyboard. I recheck and reread all the documents that have been submitted to me for my signature. I have to reread and be hands-on to everything. Nothing is perfect but when it comes work, I aspire to be perfect. I don't want any single mistake, it can damage my credibility as a new CEO.
'm a rising sun, I just started to rise, I don't want to be labeled immediately as The Sun that Set immediately.
People in this industry are all cruel, you have to be more ruthless in order to succeed. With a single mistake, it will cause your downfall. The businessmen around you are all starving for power and place, with one single mistake that you made, they can take everything from you at a blink of an eye.
In business, in everything you do, you have to be cautious... and that's what I'm doing.
"For you, CEO." Khione kidded around me when she put a hot black coffee on my table.
"Wow... Thank you." I expressed my gratitude. I took that chance to glance on my wrist watch. It's quarter to nine already.
"When did you order?" I asked while taking a sip on the lid.
"Of course, when you were busy with your paperworks." She responded while sipping on the straw of her iced coffee.
"Aren't you tired or sleepy?" I asked.
"Not anymore. I already have an iced coffee." She said while showing me her coffee. i shrugged it off and laughed.
After a couple of minutes, I started fixing the documents on my desk and saved the documents that I've read. I turned my laptop off and put it inside my bag. Khione didn't notice that I'm already preparing to leave because she's busy watching the city lights from my big glass wall. She seems in deep thought. I started to overthink.
I saw her phone light up because of a caller and her phone was in silent. She immediately noticed it so she took it before I even gave it to her. I saw how she stared on the screen and ended the call.
"Who's that?"
"Uhm... Unknown. I don't answer unknown calls. I'll wait for the text."
I just nod and told her that we'll get going.
While we were in the elevator, down the parking lot, my phone vibrated and I searched for it immediately. Khione is standing beside me but she's playing with her Louboutin.
It's from my private investigator.
I don't know why, but I felt a...
Thrill.
I already emailed the file to you, Sir.
