Kenny stirred in his bed as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, gently illuminating his room. He stretched his arms and yawned, feeling a mix of exhaustion and anticipation for the day ahead. With a determined mindset, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and planted his feet on the floor, ready to conquer the challenges that awaited him.As Kenny stood up, he glanced at the clock on his bedside table and realized he had overslept. "Oh no, I'm running late," he muttered under his breath. Quickly, he dashed into the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face to jolt himself awake. He grabbed his toothbrush and squeezed a generous amount of toothpaste on it, brushing his teeth vigorously to ensure minty freshness.After his refreshing shower, Kenny stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist and made his way to the closet. He pondered for a moment, selecting a crisp white shirt, a neatly pressed black suit, and a matching tie. With swift movements, he dres
Can You Lend Me a Kiss? Chapter 40 The plant
Kenny's heart raced as he watched his mother's car disappear from view. Relief washed over him, and his expression slowly returned to normal. He walked over to the window and gazed outside, taking in the familiar sights of the bustling city. The worry that had consumed him in the presence of his mother began to dissipate, replaced by a newfound determination to find answers.Reaching into his pocket, Kenny retrieved his phone. It felt cool against his fingertips as he unlocked the screen and activated a small device. This device was used to activate any bugs that could have been set in the office to track his conversation. With a sense of urgency, he dialed Dave's number.After a few rings, Dave's voice crackled through the phone. "Hey, Boss What's up?"Kenny's voice trembled slightly as he replied, "Hey, Dave. I... I just needed to know if Natasha is okay."Dave paused for a moment, the silence on the other end stretching like an eternity. Then, he spoke with a hint of relief in his

As the image of a peculiar plant flashed across Kenny's screen again , Ryan's heart skipped a beat. There was something about that plant, something oddly familiar. He couldn't quite place it, but a sense of recognition stirred within him, tinged with a hint of trepidation. He hesitated to voice his thoughts, afraid that Kenny would realize that he was peeping at his phone. This wasn't a good think to do, especially when it was his Boss's phone, someone he respected.Kenny, ever observant, noticed Ryan's sudden change in demeanor . "Hey, man, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.Ryan's mind raced, torn between the fea

Ryan's heart pounded in his chest as he realized he might have the key to Kenny's search. The memory flooded back to him—the distinct image of a plant, one that resembled the description Kenny had given him. Without wasting a moment, Ryan sprinted to his car and fumbled with the keys, his hands trembling with anticipation.As he started the engine, his mind raced with thoughts of the old grandma's place. It had been years since he last visited, and memories of the quaint little house filled his mind. After leaving the old Grandma's place when she helped her, he had visited her a couple of times.He navigated the streets, his foot heavy on the accelerator, eager to reach his destination as quickly as possible.Minutes turned into hours as Ryan drove through familiar neighborhoods, the scenery passing by in a blur. He turned onto a street that should have led him to the old grandma's house, but the once-familiar landmarks had vanished, replaced by unfamiliar buildings and shops. Confusi

Ryan's heart was anxious as he parked his car in front of his house. The memories of what just happened flooded his mind, and he couldn't wait to share this with Kenny. He quickly dialed Kenny's number and waited anxiously for him to pick up."Hey, Sir " he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm."Ryan! What's up? You sound anxious. Did something happen?" Kenny replied, intrigued by Ryan's tone."I remembered the place where I saw that rare plant we've been searching for," Ryan exclaimed. "It was in the garden of the old grandma who saved me years ago when my mother was harassing me. Remember I mentioned her to you before?"Kenny's memory clicked, and he recalled Ryan mentioning the old grandma once during a heart-to-heart conversation. "Yes, I remember.". "Anyway, I went there to find the plant, but it was like the place was wiped off the map. The whole area looked deserted, and I couldn't find her house or her garden. It's like everything was demolished a long time ago."Kenny's e
Can You Lend Me a Kiss? Chapter 44 The auditions
Natasha's heart pounded with nervous excitement as she paced back and forth in her hotel room. The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the floor. Today was the day of her big audition for the second female lead in a major movie production. She had applied for the role two days ago, and she had received a call and an email the previous day asking her to go for the auditions, and now her dream was within reach.After taking a deep breath, Natasha reached for her phone and dialed Dave's number. Dave was eating the only one she knew and trusted in the new country who could drive her to the audition. The phone rang twice before he picked up."Hey, Natasha! What's up?" Dave's cheerful voice greeted her."Hi, Dave," Natasha replied, trying to sound composed. "I need a big favor. Can you come to pick me up from my hotel room? I have an audition for a movie role in a couple of hours, and I can't rely on public transport for this one.""Of course! I'll be there rig
Can You Lend Me a Kiss? Chapter 45 Poison act up
Dave dropped Natasha off at her hotel room, his concern evident in his eyes as he asked, "Are you sure you'll be all right, Natasha?” Dave realized that her face was looking somehow paler, unlike the way it was a while ago.Natasha smiled weakly, assuring him, "I'll be fine, Dave. Thanks for being there with me today. I appreciate it."As Dave turned to leave, Natasha's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Wait, Dave! Before you go, how about staying for lunch? I'm really tired of this hotel food, and I ordered some pizza online."Dave hesitated, not wanting to intrude or cause any complications. "Oh, Natasha, I appreciate the offer, but I should probably get going. You need your rest, and there is something I wanted to attend to.""No, please just stay for lunch, am sure it won’t take long," Natasha insisted, a hint of desperation in her voice. "I ordered a lot that I won’t finish on my own, I'm sure you won’t say no to enjoying a good meal."Relenting to her plea, Dave finally agreed,

He had failed to save Natasha from the poison and thins thing was eating him up, he didn’t have peace of mind.He reached out for his phone and summoned Ryan to come to meet him at the office as soon as possible. He had already decided that he was going to do whatever it takes to find the old grandma that Ryan had talked about.After ending the call, Kenny gave a few instructions to his assistant Kata before grabbing his suitcase and left the office.Ryan who rushed over was already waiting for his outside the gate. He got out of his car and bowed before opening the car door for Kenny.“Do you know the direction to that place well?” Kenny asked as he tied up his safety belt.‘’Yes Sir, I have been there a couple of times and I couldn’t mistake the place,” Ryan responded as he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.At the front passengers seat, Kenny was very impatient, it had only been a

‘’Can you do me a favor?” Kenny asked the guy.The guy threw a glance at Kenny, ’Am not going to free you, after all, you can’t escape from this place,” He responded.Kenny smiled and then went back to his seat.

After finishing his speech, the old master left the stage. Many reporters rushed towards him to enquire how he came back to the city and if he was going to stay there.

At that time, a middle-aged lady walked towards the stage and asked for attention. Kata who stood next to her felt that the lady was up to something which wasn’t good.‘’Can I speak please?” she asked and before Kata could allow her to talk she had already grabbed the microphone from one of the reporter’s hands and started speaking.‘’Mr. Kata, I don’t see the reason why you should lie to the media and other people.’’Kata was confused, who was that girl and what did she want to do?’’Kata stepped forward, he wanted to prevent her from talking,’’ Young lady, who are you and what do you want here? ’he asked.The lady cleared her throat then continued talking, ’It dent matter who I am, the most important thing here is for you to tell the media and the netizens the truth about the president of Dawson International company.“What truth?

Zeres had only slept for a short time when he was awoken up by the ringing of his phone. He sat on his bed and when he looked outside, he realized that the day was already so bright.He wondered who was calling him that early morning since he hadn’t given his number to many and the only person who could call him from time to time was Kenny.To his surprise, it was Zeres assistant Kata who was calling him, Kenny had once used hi phone to talk to Kat when his phone was out of battery.“Hello, good morning Sir? Is this you?” Zeres heard Kata’s voice from the other end of the call.‘’Sorry, who are you looking for? maybe you mistook my number for his,’’ Zeres quickly responded.He couldn’t reveal that he knew Kenny and his whereabouts to anyone so he had to pretend not to know him.‘’Sorry boss, maybe I got the wrong number,” Kata said then ended the call.Zeres remembered that he hadn’t heard Kenny’s phone ringing since the previous day. The phone was in the living room, on the table whe

Inside the lab room, Zeres opened the bottommost drawer as instructed by Kenny. He searched but he couldn’t see any stopwatch. He removed the papers that were inside that drawer but still, he didn’t see it.‘’Maybe he forgot the drawer where he placed his stopwatch,’’ Zeres whispered as he opened other drawers to check, but all these were in vain.‘’Kenny, Kenny…where did you leave the stopwatch, I can’t see it in the bottom drawer,” he shouted.He continued searching in the room but he still couldn’t see it. ’’Kenny, I can’t see it.” He said again.The lab room wasn’t far away from the sitting room so it was obvious that Kenny could hear Zeres’ words, but why was he not responding to him?Could it be that Kenny…?” He tricked me,” Zeres said as he rushed back into the sitting room.The first thing that he saw was Kenny’s body lying on the floor motionlessly.‘’F*ck,’’Zeres cursed.On the floor, the syringe was lying there and there were some traces of blood on it.

He knew that he had left behind a bewildered bride and confused guests. He wanted to get help from Zeres to see what he was going to do next with the antidote.As he approached Zeres' house, he slowed down and parked the bike by the garden gate.
