Chapter 579: Bound To Be Dood
[Note: Unwritten scene for Chapter 537]
The next morning, Kyle woke up early and prepared himself to report to his new work. He was feeling refreshed and invigorated. He was whistling a song while he put the necktie on his neck.
He did not know why but he felt a bit excited in reporting to work as a lawyer. Or maybe he was just excited to surprise and tease Sarah who would be shocked to see him as he did not inform her about his decision to work at Yao Law firm and join their team.
As soon as he arrived at the building he was escorted by the secretary to the CEO's office where Noah and Luo gave him a warm welco.
"Welco, Kyle. We're glad you chose to work in our firm," Luo excitedly said as she extended her hand towards him.
Kyle smiled bashfully and gladly accepted Luo's hand.
"Thank you for the warm welco…"
"Nah, it's really nice to see you again. You see we've been snatching the best among the best." Luo said in a jest.
Her husband, Noah, laughed and added, "Well, we will soon rge our firm with Sy Law firm so there's no need for any competition in snatching the best among the best."
After a few minutes of chatting, Noah stood up, looked at Kyle, and said, "Let show you around the office."
Kyle nodded and stood up as well to follow Noah.
"Make yourself at ho," Luo whispered as he passed by her and Kyle nodded. Noah introduced him to everyone including Sarah who, as he expected, looked stunned to see him here.
"You two will be neighbors from today!" Noah inford Sarah and Kyle.
Sarah only answered with a half-smile before she excused herself to go to Luo and hand over the files Luo needed. She patted her chest trying to calm it after feeling the fast beating of her heart.
'He will work here?!' she brooded over it because she was trying to avoid Kyle for the past few days. But all her efforts went down the drain when she found out that he would work here. She couldn't believe her bad luck because not only would he work in the sa firm as her but also in the cabin beside hers?!
'What is this unlucky fate?! God, are you playing with right now?' she groaned in exasperation.
She was currently on her way back to her office when she paused and walked slowly to make sure that she would not cross paths with Kyle. Seeing he was not around in the hallway, she quickly ran back to her office.
Realizing her weird actions, Sarah straightened her back and sat on her chair. She realized that she was acting abnormally so she inhaled and exhaled loudly, trying to calm herself up.
She was in deep thought when she heard Kyle's voice startling her, "Hi…"
Sarah's eyebrows raised in question as she watched Kyle walk directly towards her table with a bright smile on his face.
"Don't you know how to knock or buzz?" Sarah mumbled in displeasure. She was honestly annoyed since morning because until now, she was doing everything on her own because the secretary Luo got for her was apparently still on maternity leave!
Last ti, Luo promised her a secretary and a paralegal but she did not know when those help of hers would arrive.
"Are you mad at ?" she heard Kyle ask as he comfortably sat on the chair placed near her table.
'Yes! You pervert drunkard!' Sarah wanted to voice out. But didn't because Kyle did not even rember kissing her that night, seeing how comfortable he was around her.
He kissed her twice already whenever he was drunk. Well, she initiated the first one according to him but she did not rember at all. But the second ti was when she picked him up at the resto-bar.
'You also don't rember the first ti so what's with you if he forgot that night?' her inner self scolded and even added, 'You two are even now.'
"Hello? Earth calling Sarah!!" Kyle called, waving his hand in front of her face.
"What?!" Sarah hissed.
"How Scary! Is it your bloody moon?" Kyle teased.
"Bloody moon your face! Why are you here? Can't you see that my table is full of files and I'm busy?!"
"Geez, what a way to welco . I'm here to help you out with those files. Luo asked to help you."
"Really?!" Sarah said sarcastically, not looking convinced because she was aware that Luo was intentionally giving her a hard ti because of what she did to Lana.
"You can ask her if you don't believe ," Kyle plainly replied and grabbed one of the folders on her table.
"It's my first day at work. How about I treat you for a coffee before we start working on this file?" Kyle suggested with a wink.
Sarah gulped, feeling uneasy.? Her heart just skipped a beat because of that single wink.
"Damn!" she unconsciously cursed.
"Huh?" Kyle humd, confused. Sarah only gave him an awkward smile and mumbled, "How co you choose to work here?"
'When I'm hell-bent on avoiding you!' she wanted to add but of course, she didn't.
"And why not? You know my history with Lana so working in the Sy Law firm is impossible. This firm is the best second option other than that. Besides, you're also here so I decided to choose this firm." Kyle nonchalantly comnted.
Sarah hated it because his simple comnts and words like these were making her heart pound against her chest. She was unintentionally giving aning to his words when she clearly knew that it was just a friendly comnt coming from Kyle's mouth.
"So what if I'm here? Are you saying you're stalking ?" Sarah, wryly comnted in defense, though deep inside she was trying to find more aning to Kyle's words.
"Well… You can say it like that. I am stalking you, Sarah Jung. Do you like it?" Kyle whispered followed by a wink.
'The heck with this man! What is wrong with him? Is he flirting with or just playing around?! I hate guessing gas like this!' she inwardly complained. She wanted to ask more and broaden the topic but she would not do it, to avoid embarrassing herself.
"But really, why do I feel like you're avoiding ? You never answer my calls nor reply to my ssages. You're making feel like I did sothing wrong. Did I do sothing that made you get mad at or avoid ?" Kyle asked because he could feel that Sarah was treating him differently and he did not want it to be like that between them because Sarah was the person he could find solace in.
"What's with you? You're just imagining things, Kyle. I'm not avoiding you okay? It's just that I'm really busy. In fact, I'm so busy that I can't even reply to my family so don't think too much about it," Sarah lied.
"In that case, let's go out and have so coffee, and then I will work hard in assisting you with these files. Shall we go?" Kyle asked with his sweetest smile.
'I'm bound to be dood!' Sarah declared as her heart just lted seeing his smile.
