Kaylar tucked a loose curl behind her ear as she avoided Wayne's piercing gaze. "Was there any need to tell you?" "Yes," Wanye inched closer to her. "Yeah right, You were so caught up in your precious emotions earlier why would I bother you with such a trivial matter?" Kaylar retorted. Wanye raised his brow in question as he reached Kaylar. The distance between them was about an inch or less. He swiftly placed his hands on her waist and hoisted her atop the desk. This stunned Kaylar for a moment as she was slow to react. "What are you doing?!" "Let me see'' Wanye didn't respond, he squatted down to the level of her feet and gently placed her feet on his thighs as he examined her ankle. A pink tinge worked its way towards Kaylar's face. Kaylar's ankle was swollen and had a bruise on the surface. Wayne gently pressed on the tender flesh and Kaylar flinched in pain. "Let go of my feet!" She struggled. Wanye gently placed her feet on the ground. "How did this happen?" "..."
Thirty minutes later. Dean was led into the room by Butler Lee. He saw Wayne sitting on the sofa with his head thrown back. He was holding his phone in one hand while he rested the other hand on the couch. "Bro" Dean called out. "Go ahead and check her" Wanye's said in a low tone without raising his head. He looked exhausted. "What a warm way to welcome your bro hmph" Dean mumbled jokingly. … Dean entered Kaylar's room. "Sis-in-law" He greeted her with a warm smile as he reached the bed. Kaylar smiled back at him. "Mr. Grant" "You don't have to be so formal Sis-in-law, just call me by my first name, Dean," Dean said as he set his medical kit on a table. "Okay, Dean" Kaylar warmed up to him quickly. "Let's have a look at your leg" Dean carefully lifted her foot and examined the injured area. "So tell me how did you sprain your ankle?" He was friendly and had a more welcoming temperament compared to Wanye. She still wondered how they sustained their friendship for so long.
Kaylar's eyes were fixed on Wayne as he made his way towards her side. He placed the tray he was holding on the nightstand. Kaylar couldn't help but let her eyes roam on Wayne. He was wearing a white T-shirt with grey sweatpants. He looked really sexy. "How are you feeling?" Wayne's deep voice sounded. Kaylar shook her head to drive her silly thoughts away. "Much better" She replied in a gentle tone. Wayne pulled a chair from the side and sat down. His hand naturally went to Kaylar's ankle to feel the bandage on it. "You'll have to rest for a few days, that means you won't come to the company for a week," He said as he retracted his hand. Kaylar nodded her head in understanding, it was expected. "I brought dinner for you," Wayne said as he poured soup into a bowl. "..." She thought the head maid would be the one taking care of her needs. She didn't expect it to be Wayne. Lord in heaven! Kaylar was startled when Wayne raised her back and placed pillows behind her back to su
The next day."Did you sleep well?" Wayne asked as he strode into Kayler's room. "I did, you?" Kaylar asked as she pulled the duvet off her body. Intuitively, she was ready to head into the bathroom to get ready for work. "Where are you going?" Wayne asked as he saw her action. "To work of course…" It suddenly dawned on her, she was off work for a week. "I'm heading to the company; The head maid would take care of your needs," Wayne said as he exited the room. A pitisome expression was plastered on Kaylar's face as she laid back down. After a while, the head maid came into her room and helped her freshen up. She had breakfast and lay on the bed as usual. As an active and independent woman, Kaylar found the prospect of being confined to her home for a week unbearable. She was extremely bored. She decided to call Mia and invite her over to the mansion later in the day. Mia's cheerful and infectious personality always managed to bring some excitement into her life. … Meanwhi
… Inside Wayne's office. Wayne sat on his swivel chair behind his desk and motioned for Susan and Karen to take a seat in front of his desk. The temperature in the room dropped by a thousand degrees as he stared at them with a cold expression. "Care to explain what I overheard during the meeting?" Wayne asked sharply. His eyes watched their every expression as they sank into their seats. Karen and Susan exchanged glances, their earlier gossip suddenly feeling much less harmless. They both knew they had messed up and now had to face the consequences. "CEO Wayne I don't know what you talking about aside from the proposal from my team presented I didn't say a thing" Karen said in her defence. Wayne continued his voice firm but controlled. "Karen you've worked here long enough to know that gossip is toxic and undermines the harmony of this workplace." He looked at the both of them "As senior staff members I expect better from you both. It's unprofessional and disrespectful to di
A While later."Eldest Madam, your bath is ready" The Head maid announced.Kaylar nodded her head and pulled the duvet off her body.The head maid reached out to her side to assist her into the bathroom. Kaylar freshened up in no time with the assistance of the head maid. …Inside the closet."Here you go Madam" The head maid handed a nightgown to Kaylar.Kaylar sized the nightgown up "Miss Hajara where did you get this from?"She was a hundred and one per cent sure that she didn't have any nightgowns in her closet.She was a pyjama person. "Eldest master ordered a few nightgowns earlier in the day. He said it would be difficult to put your pyjamas on with a sprained ankle," The head maid explained."Okay, then" Kaylar took the nightgown from the head maid.'That was nice of him' she thought as she swiftly wore the gown.She looked at herself in the mirror and let out a sigh of approval.It wasn't that bad, at least he had good tastes.The beige-coloured nightgown hung below her kn
Kaylar was left in the sitting room as her mind threw all sorts of thoughts to her.She couldn't help the reddening of her cheeks.Her thoughts were really far-fetched."Welcome, young master" Kaylar was snapped out of her fantasy when she heard Butler Lee's greeting.'Young master?' she wondered who that was.She could hear the faint sound of footsteps coming into the sitting room.Kaylar curiously turned her head in the direction of the sound as she watched a figure step in."Sister-in-law?" A gentle voice sounded.The figure stood in front of her."I supposed you're my brother's wife" He flashed a warm smile as he sat on a couch."Yes, I am" Kaylar repliedJason turned to Butler Lee and asked "Where's elder brother?""He'll be down soon," Butler Lee answered.There was an underlying worry in his tone.Things would get really bad when Wayne gets downstairs. The two brothers could not stay in the same room without something going wrong.He wondered how the Eldest master would react
She wanted to question Wayne but she decided against it.He would open up to her when he felt like it, she didn't want to force an explanation out of him.Wanye arrived at the door of her room and opened the door carefully."You should stay away from him," Wayne said as he laid Kaylar on the bed gently."Okay," Kaylar's reply was simple and short.She did not want to stress over something that did not concern her directly.Pushing an answer out of him at this point would be useless, so why try in the first place?Wayne's expression relaxed a little.He expected Kaylar to bombard him with questions but surprisingly she didn't.Wayne was clearly in a bad mood because his brows were furrowed and It made his face look stiff and cold.Kaylar had the urge to burst into laughter.Without realising what she was doing she used her hand as a gesture for Wayne to come closer.Albeit confused, Wayne lowered his head."Creasing your brows gives you an eldern look," Kaylar said as she used her fing
