Kaylee was about to move the glasses to the glass storage case when she heard a very familiar na.
"It's Kaylee Roesalie Zouch."
At that mont, she felt her world stop rotating, and unwillingly, she let go of her grip, causing the glasses to fell. By the ti the glasses shattered, all the employees had gathered around her worriedly.
"Oh, my gosh. Kaylee, are you okay?"
"You're alright, boss? You look pale."
"Co here," urged the handso barista, pulling her hand to avoid any shattered glass. "Dink, clean this place!"
"Yes, sir." Dink sprinted to take the broom and clean all the shattered glass.
The young girl who had been teasing her employer with the stranger's engagent took Kaylee to drink water.
"Here, drink this first." urged the young girl, which Kaylee accepted happily.
"How are you feeling now?"
"I'm fine, Logan." Kaylee managed to calm herself and control her expression.
It was the first ti she caught off guard and let the people see her weak side, but she regained her composure.
"You're not. Should we go to the hospital?"
"No need. I'll take a rest for a while, and I'll be fine. I'm sorry to bother you."
Logan looked at Kaylee with sad eyes, but soon it was replaced by a concerned-friend look.
"You never bothered . Leave the rest to for now, so go sleep in your room."
"Thanks."
Kaylee paced toward the back corridor to her office. From behind, everyone could see how tough and strong she was without knowing that there was a great storm filling her heart.
As soon as she entered her office and closed the door to make sure no one would see her, her knees gave away, and she slumped limply against the door.
'It's Kaylee Roesalie Zouch.'
The na echoed in her head. It had been a long ti since she had heard her full na, and now she had heard it under unexpected circumstances.
She knew… Kaylee Roesalie Zouch, her employee, was referring to her sister. But she didn't understand why her sister used her na.
'But here it says your na is engaged to the most wanted bachelor in the world.'
Kaylee rembered what her cashier said that made her frown. Why was her sister engaged to soone else when their father had planned Roxanne's engagent to that man?
Who is Declan Black? Then what about that person?
Kaylee stood up and rushed to her desk work to open her laptop. She imdiately browsed Kaylee Roesalie Zouch's na and realized that there was not a single photo posted there.
Had her father blocked all photos of her sister so no one would know that Roxanne was still alive?
Kaylee removed her own na and typed Declan Black on the blank space. It instantly appeared hundreds or even thousands of a stunning man filled the laptop screen.
She couldn't see the face clearly as most of them were taken secretly by fans or journalists. But she found a large photo listed on one of the covers of a business magazine, and Kaylee clicked on it.
As soon as the small photo turned into a big one and filled her laptop screen, her pair of black eyes widened in disbelief.
"Black Moon? How could they et and get engaged? What happened?"
There were too many questions running through her head, and she felt like she wanted to book a plane ticket right now to fly to Folkland Island to see her sister.
No. She craved to see that guy more than to find her sister.
Since everyone thought she had died from the plane crash, Kaylee cut ties with her family and chose to live in a small town in this country.
During the first month she moved to this place, she studied hard to master their language with the help of her new acquaintance, a fellow tourist.
Kaylee didn't know what happened to her sister or her family after hearing of her death. She didn't even know they had all moved to New York and thought they were still living on Folkland Island.
Kaylee thought, Roxanne… her sister, would be happier if she wasn't around. She loves her sister very much, but at the sa ti, she doesn't want to see her.
Just because she was born as the second child, she could never have all her sister's privileges. The person she loved the most even turned his back on her and wanted to marry her sister.
She felt betrayed and couldn't help but venting her frustration on her sister. She never expected her sister would flee to Europe after their small fight.
Kaylee closed her eyes as she rembered their last ti together during their two-week stay in Spain.
Thinking of the figure of her older sister she hadn't thought of for a long ti made her heart feel like it was being trampled on.
Why is her sister still using her identity? Why is her sister engaged to soone else?
What had she been gone all this ti for if her sister would eventually marry soone else?
If she knew this was going to happen, she should have called her family straight away and told them she was okay. She was still alive and very healthy.
In fact… she managed to build a small business on her own without using the help of her family na. No one was afraid to face her father and treat her like everyone else: no kiss-up and no hidden motive.
No fear, alert, and Kaylee could be herself in this place.
She wanted to et her parents and tell them that she could handle any problem she encountered with her hands. Kaylee no longer needs a bodyguard who only relies on fighting with a fist to solve problems or money to keep people's mouths shut.
But… after eight years of living independently without thinking about her family's condition, she gets carried away. She no longer wanted to prove herself to her family and wanted to live a normal life like this.
Who would have thought her heart instantly wavered when she heard her na?
She knew her family was fine without her. Ti had healed the wounds of their sorrow, and she was sure they had forgotten her.
She had to forget it if she didn't want to be tied to the past. She must.
She was no longer Kaylee Roesalie Zouch.
She's just Kaylee.
