Today Misha ca and insisted on driving Kia to work, but as usual, he ended up trying to coax Kia into playing truant and ssing with her instead. Of course, this sucked, considering that Kia must have been truant a lot recently and was very lucky that she wasn't kicked out of her second part ti job already.
Since she had finished her education, she took a second part ti job to make use of her ti and also to raise money so that she could rent a more decent place when she and Mika had to leave their current apartnt because Keira would soon marry and leave to live with Ben.
"I could be fired if I didn't go even today." Kia felt tired, she couldn't understand why she had to serve soone like Misha when she didn't even want to talk to anyone.
It seed that, even though several days had passed, she still had not gotten over herself eting with her family, except for her mother.
If only Kia had stayed there a little longer, she was sure that she would also et her mother. Because there was no way her mother did not co straight to the hospital after she heard that Alia had suffered a relapse again.
"You can work in my office," Misha replied lightly.
"What position will you offer?" Kia scowled. She knew that Misha could give her any position, so she didn't think too much into it.
"How about the position of being my wife?" Misha replied smoothly. He learned this from his secretary, Dania.
The middle-aged woman who had worked for the Tordoff family for decades taught him how not to be so stiff in front of Kia, but for so reason, Misha felt like cringing when he finally said that out loud.
And out of curiosity, he glanced at Kia who was sitting next to him after he said that and found the woman staring at him in disbelief, as if to say; who was this person really?
Well, she was not to be blad actually, because Misha himself didn't think he recognized himself anymore after he said that.
"Are you drunk? You don't look drunk, but you speak like soone who has just downed a whole bottle of whiskey." Kia then looked away again after throwing those words at Misha.
"I'm not drunk, Kia," said Misha. He himself felt embarrassed after saying such cringe-worthy words and didn't want to talk about it.
"Don't you have other things to do besides accompanying ?" Kia asked in an even tone of voice. She stared at the busy street and her mind went wandering sowhere. She herself didn't know what to think at this point.
"Of course there is," Misha answered quickly. "Take you ho."
Hearing that, again Kia turned her gaze and glared fiercely at the man beside her. Such words? It didn't suit him at all.
"Who are you?" Kia narrowed her eyes at him.
The journey to Kia's work place went smoothly, although there were monts where they would argue over so trivial matters, but none of that mattered.
"What ti will you return ho?" Misha asked when Kia thanked him for dropping her off.
"You don't have to pick up," Kia grumbled, opening the car door.
"If you don't want to tell , I'll station soone here and find out about it myself." Misha looked very stubborn when he said that.
Kia frowned, she paused for a mont and then muttered under her breath. "Three o'clock."
And after saying that, she imdiately got out of the car and walked toward the restaurant where she worked. She didn't know why she had even answered Misha, but she seed to have started to soften up to the man.
On the other hand, Misha was quite surprised that Kia actually answered him, but then he smiled slightly as he noticed the change in their relationship.
Even though this seed like a small, insignificant thing, Misha was happy that Kia wasn't pushing him away too hard like before.
However, when Misha looked at his phone, his smile disappeared as his gaze beca increasingly irritated.
Richard had been trying to contact him for two hours now, if it wasn't for him setting his cell phone on silent mode, it was certain that his cell phone would have kept ringing non-stop.
"Yeah, I'm going to the office now," said Misha coldly. He felt that Richard was even more nagging than his mother.
========================
Daniel thought his request to et with Misha would not be granted after he said that he would discuss their new project which had been handed over to him.
Others might see it that way, but they both knew it was just an excuse and Misha had every right to object to it.
However, Misha granted the request which left Daniel quite surprised.
There was no way Misha didn't know of his original intentions, right? Especially when he was clearly very rigid in reporting information that Misha should have known from his previous report.
In the middle of his explanation, Misha then closed the docunt in front of him that Daniel had handed over and leaned his back against the back of the chair.
He looked at Daniel carefully and it was clear in his eyes that he could not wait for this ruse to end.
"So, how about we get straight to the point? Why did you co to see now?" Misha asked in a very flat tone of voice, it was very difficult to read what was going through his mind at the mont.
Seeing that Misha had broken the awkwardness between them and had dismantled his rush to talk to him, Daniel finally gave in and nodded.
And after all, knowing how Misha didn't like anything complicated, Daniel had no reason to cover this up anymore.
"If you don't mind, may I know where my little sister lives?" asked Daniel. He tried to keep his voice as polite as possible, considering this was their first eting after what happened at the hospital the other day.
"No." Misha didn't even have to think about the answer anymore. "If she wanted to tell you her ho address, she would have told you from the start."
As for the reason why Kia didn't want to tell her family where she lived, it was certain that it was because she didn't want anyone to co see her.
"She is my little sister," said Daniel. He tried to keep his emotions at bay. The atmosphere at ho was torturous and his parents seed to be in a cold war with each other. Even though they didn't scream at each other, there was obvious tension between the two of them. "I have the right to know where she lives."
"Your little sister is a grown woman with a child and not a minor, running away from ho." Misha saw the change in Daniel's face.
"It could be said that she ran away from ho." Daniel's voice sounded shaky and weak, as if he wasn't quite sure what he was saying himself. Of course, he wasn't sure about that, because that wasn't actually the case.
"Last ti I heard from Kia, she said that you guys kicked her out instead of her running away from ho." Misha reminded Daniel of the old wounds in his family.
Hearing that, Daniel clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep his emotions from exploding.
"You don't know her very well, she's not as innocent and naive as you think she is," Daniel said in a guilt-ridden voice because he didn't an to slander Kia in front of the man she was currently dating.
"Yeah, I agree with you, she's not as naive and innocent as you think." Misha wouldn't even think that Kia was innocent after what she'd been through and how she fiercely kicked himself out of the apartnt.
"Mr. Tordoff, I hope you can understand this. this is a family matter," said Daniel. "Actually I'm embarrassed that you have to know this, but what can I do? I have to tell you this so that you can be more careful."
"Watch out for who? Kia? What do you think she can do to ?" Misha asked with a small laugh. He didn't look at all serious in responding to Daniel's warning.
"You don't know what she did four years ago. I'm afraid she'll only get into trouble with you." If that happened and Kia embarrassed Misha Tordoff, wouldn't that affect him too?
Misha Tordoff, for them, seed calm and rarely spoke, but everyone knew that he was a very vengeful person. He would rember what people did to him and repay them in the way he deed the most suitable.
So instead of waiting for Kia to get into trouble with Misha Tordoff, wouldn't it be better if he broke their relationship off first by warning him?
"Do you an four years ago when she was kicked out of the house for having a child out of wedlock?" Misha asked in a calm voice, as if it was nothing to him.
Daniel looked uneasy in his chair. "She has tarnished the family's reputation by conceiving the child of a man of unknown origin."
Misha raised an eyebrow. "A man of unknown origin?"
"Kia even refused to reveal who the child's father was. We're sure she doesn't rember herself." Daniel frowned, he found it difficult to say this.
"How about I tell you that I am the child's father?"
