The Weird Woman in My Life Chapter 9
The crowd left as quickly as they came. Luther sat by my bed and began peeling an orange for me."Who's that lady?" he asked curiously before popping a slice of orange into his mouth. "She's quite pretty."Wasn't that orange meant for me?I smacked Luther on the head instantly, causing him to wail in pain. "Ouch! Watch your strength, Lucian! Alright, alright! I'll drop the question! Geez!"There was no such thing as a taboo question for me. "That was my secretary.""Huh? She's just a secretary? I thought she'd be my sister-in-law." Luther pouted at me. "Lucian, you gotta work harder. Mom really likes that Charlyn woman…""She's your tutor!" I glared at Luther. "What does this have to do with her anyway?""Oh? You don't know what's going on? Why do you think Mom wants her to stay in our house?"Luther glanced at the doorway sneakily. "I heard Mom telling Dad something. She said, and I quote, 'Charlyn's a pretty decent woman. She comes from a good background, not to mention she's

I shot a look at Luther, who approached Charlyn immediately. As he took the thermos flask from her, he exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Wow! Thank you for bringing me some stew, Ms. Emerson! How did you know I haven't had breakfast yet?"Charlyn was about to explain herself when Luther cut in, "You should go back for now. I'll definitely focus on my studies at the hospital!"Then, he pushed her out of the ward.Charlyn kept turning back to look at me. Upon noticing my icy look, her eyes reddened immediately. She could only let Luther push her out.Luther followed Charlyn out of the ward as well. He paused to stick his head back into the ward to give me a meaningful glance."Lucian, I'm having a stomachache!"Then, he looked at Kyrie. "Kyrie, please help me take care of my brother! Thank you!"What a cheeky bastard!Now, Kyrie and I were the only ones in the ward. No one spoke for a moment. Kyrie just stood where she was, looking at me as calmly as she could. At the same tim

Luther continued giving me suggestions after that. "Why don't you invite Kyrie over to our house as my private tutor?"Based on that cheeky look on his face, he seemed to be up to no good."Your company policy states the employees have the weekends off, right? I'd like Kyrie to come over to our place every Saturday and Sunday to tutor me for one hour."When Charlyn had served as Luther's private tutor, he'd had to go through two hours' worth of lessons every day. As if I'd let Luther get what he wanted. Poor Kyrie was extremely exhausted and busy from her daily workload anyway."No way." I shot Luther a glance.Luther pouted immediately. He sat at the foot of my bed and began peeling an apple for me.…That afternoon, Kyrie came to my ward just as promised. Surprisingly enough, someone else came with her.Luther stared at the tall and strong man trailing behind Kyrie. Then, he turned to glance at me in disbelief.After that, he rushed over to hug Kyrie's leg, making sure to ra

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. In the end, I managed to say, "I happened to drive past a flower shop. When I saw the flowers, I thought they suited you well."Kyrie accepted the flowers shyly. "Thank you." A moment later, she added, "They look beautiful."Oh no! What should I say next?Kyrie raised her head to look at me, the tips of her ears reddening at the same time. Only then did I realize just how petite she was.Even though the height on her personal information stated that she was five feet and seven inches tall, she still looked petite before me."Um, are you free tomorrow?" I had no idea what I was talking about at this point. "Why don't we have a meal together?"Kyrie nodded in response, her cheeks aflame.I felt very heady the whole time, to the point that I didn't know what I was doing. Soon, I returned to my seat awkwardly. There was a pile of documents waiting for me to tackle, after all.I looked down at the documents in my hands for a moment. But I cou

Wait, what breakfast?I suddenly realized that I'd completely forgotten to agree on a time with Kyrie yesterday because I'd been too excited.It was fine. I could always figure out the time with her once I reached the company. Tonight would be a great time, for instance.After calming down, I woke Luther up. He had to go to school, after all.Mrs. Dawson, our housekeeper, was already busying herself in the kitchen at that time. When she saw me leaving the house, she quickly stopped me."Luc, did you take an umbrella?" she asked as she wiped her hands on a cloth while walking out of the kitchen.I silently retracted my left leg, which had been about to cross the doorway. Then, I made a detour to pick up an umbrella for myself.On the way to the company, I stopped by the flower shop to buy a bouquet of lilies, which looked ready to bloom anytime soon.Kyrie looked up at me from behind her desk. I passed her the latest bouquet."I happened to drive past a flower shop," I said sof

It was a good thing the private room wasn't that far.Once the server opened the room door for us, I was instantly greeted by the sight of bright red roses adorning the room.I maintained my composure the best I could while dragging the chair back for Kyrie to take her seat. After that, I sat down across from her."I…""I…"Both of us spoke up at the same time."You can go first…" we said simultaneously again.Then, we stared at each other. The golden light cast down on Kyrie's face, adding a hint of warmth to her usually cold and stoic expression. At that time, she happened to be staring at me seriously."My name is Lucian Skyworth. Both of my parents are still alive. I have a younger brother too. You met him before. His name is Luther…"What the hell was I talking about? Why was I rambling such nonsense?I quickly clamped up at that moment. Then, I glanced at Kyrie uneasily. She propped her cheek on a hand while staring at me tenderly. I felt as though I'd lost the abil

I was a CEO. I felt like strange things kept happening to me as of late. I noticed that a woman kept showing up everywhere I went.Of course, I was an extremely handsome, wealthy, and talented billionaire. It was only natural for me to be surrounded by women of all sorts.But that woman was different.Why? Well, I'd never met such an oddball in my entire life.She tripped over nothing and fell right in front of me on her first day of work. The coffee she was holding ended up splashing all over my suit. Did she have any idea how expensive this suit was?After that, the woman quickly rushed toward me and attempted to wipe the coffee off my suit. My bodyguards were stunned, to say the least. Everyone could only watch as that woman tugged and pulled at my suit, making me look even more wretched.Thank goodness, one of my many admirers was quick to pull her away from me angrily, thus saving me from her clumsy endeavors.After calming down, I coolly told the woman how much my suit w

The man's pained moans grew louder once he realized that someone was defending him. But when he heard the sirens coming from a distance, his expression changed immediately. He quickly got up to his feet and fled from the scene.Meanwhile, Charlyn was still banging on my car window.Soon, the police arrived at the scene. We were both escorted to the police station to have our statements taken. The police also collected the security footage from the scene.Naturally, I was innocent. I even told a policeman, "She kept speaking up for that scammer earlier. I suspect they're working together to scam people."Once I was done with my statement, I drove away from the police station. Charlyn, on the other hand, was kept back.Before I left, I heard an officer muttering, "Young ladies nowadays are too eager to show off their so-called virtue in front of rich people. Heh!"I had no idea what happened to Charlyn after that.Thankfully, the next few weeks were delightful for me, as I never s

Kyrie helped me into one of the police cruisers. Through the window, I could see Jonathan and his men being pushed into another cruiser.The car that I sat in took a U-turn so that it could start speeding toward the hospital. At first, I'd needed to have my statement taken. But Kyrie insisted on taking me to the hospital first. The policeman, who was in the cruiser with us, shot me a few odd looks. Then, he told the driver to take us to the hospital.But how had Kyrie found out about my kidnapping?I asked her that question when I was lying on the hospital bed."I realized that you never returned to the office after leaving for quite some time. Lily, the receptionist at the front desk, told me that she saw you heading toward the café across from the company. "But when I arrived there, all I saw were broken shards of a coffee cup. After that, a barista in the café mentioned that she witnessed someone dragging you into a vehicle."Kyrie paused momentarily before shyly glancing a

The next few days went by without a hitch. Every night, I waited until the latest possible time to drive Kyrie home. The next morning, I'd left the house extremely early to avoid bumping into Charlyn. Once I reached the company, Kyrie would use a different excuse of the day to give me breakfast.Every day was practically smooth sailing for me—if I were to ignore the half-hour calls Luther placed just to rant to me about Charlyn and to beg me to come up with a way to kick her out. At this point, he wanted nothing more than to have a new private tutor.Well, if the brute next to me could remove the black sack from my head, that'd be even better.I'd just felt like having coffee all of a sudden. Of course, I'd just had to develop a shred of conscience when I'd looked at Kyrie, whom I was used to ordering around like a slave. So, I'd thought that I should personally drop by the café across from the company and get my own coffee.This had all taken place in broad daylight. The moment

I looked down at the sandwich in my hand. She made it herself, huh? It looked quite tasty.I began chomping on the sandwich. It was a little cold, but for some reason, it tasted sweet. Yeah, it was tasty.Kyrie really was a woman of many talents. Not only was she an amazing secretary, but she was also a good cook.The HR department had done a wonderful job in recruiting such a talented person. I'd have to give them a bigger bonus before the New Year holidays.Time often passed by very quickly whenever I was hard at work. That morning, I was extremely busy with work.I held an emergency meeting so I could deal with the mole once and for all. It turned out that the mole was the nephew of one of the minor shareholders. Arthur had tricked that guy into gambling his money away at a casino, resulting in him racking up a huge debt. That was how he'd managed to bribe the mole into doing things for him.After conducting a thorough investigation, we found out that the mole had even embez
