Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

By the time Oliver reached his penthouse, his sister just finished her bath and came out on her wheelchair. 

"Thirty minutes. You took thirty minutes, brother." she said. 

"I had to come from the hospital, Nora. You became thin! Were you not eating properly there?" Oliver asked as he took a look at his sister's face. 

"I didn't have my brother to cook for me." Nora said, her eyes shining. 

"Yeah. My little sis couldn't shove me into her bag and take me there." Oliver said repeating a joke which Nora used before she went to London. 

Nora laughed. 

"Come, I will prepare all your favorite food. What do you want to eat? Mac and Cheese? Pancakes? Perhaps my signature dish?" Oliver asked, pushing her chair to the kitchen island. 

"You mean your burnt waffles when you said 'Signature dish'" Nora asked. 

"Hey, they aren't burnt." Oliver complained. 

"Really, bro?" Nora asked. 

"Fine. I admit defeat." Oliver said and chuckled. 

"So, any significant updates during my absence?" Nora asked abruptly. 

Oliver stopped in his tracks for a second and then retained his composure. 

"Nothing much. You haven't been away for a long time so, nothing has changed much." he lied. He decided to tell his sister about his girlfriend but at this moment, he couldn't muster his courage to do so. 

He doesn't know why but his guts are signaling him a red sign. Moreover, this is a sensitive topic and he has to find a suitable time and suitable situation to break it up to his sister. He simply can't reveal it!

"Yes, there is something you need to know. The research is going pretty well and we have found some promising methods to retain the full functionality of your legs. The scientists are looking deeply into it and in a few days we will try it experimentally." Oliver told his sister. 

"It's good. To be honest brother, I… I lost my hope. It… it's been years and nothing changed." Nora said as she looked at legs which were immobile. 

Oliver felt his heart sink when he saw his sister's distressed face. He walked to her and kneeled so that he could look at her face properly. 

"Don't give up hope, Nora. It's true that nothing changed but at the same time, your situation didn't deteriorate as well. We are near to the breakthrough, Nora. Hold on, all right?' Oliver said and kissed his sister's forehead. 

Nora felt her eyes brim but nodded her head. The siblings remained in a warm hug and Oliver broke it only when the oven beeped. 

"How was your time in London?" Oliver asked. 

"Eleena is really in trouble. I tried my best to help her but that LK group is stronger than I estimated. Their strategies are top notch and very deceiving for anyone who tries to overrun them. Their choices of collaboration and investment are very precise and on point." Nora said. 

"I couldn't find any loophole to work on. I tried to help Eleena to get some investments and win some collaborations but LK group's strategy team will always be one step ahead. I don't know who is in charge of all this but that person seems to be a genius." she added. 

Oliver was smiling all the time. Nora is talking about none other than his girlfriend, Kyra. She might not be the CEO but she is the head of the strategist team and she is the CFO of the company who handles the investments and decides which collaborations are profitable and which are not.

"So, you have a good impression on that person whoever she or he is?" Oliver asked. 

"I don't know, bro. I have never met that person and all I could find about that person is that she is CFO and doesn't live in London now. She works remotely and will be in direct contact only with the special team she has personally selected by herself. Eleena tried to loot a person in that team but it only backfired. That CFO is really something that she was able to build that level of loyalty." Nora answered. 

"So, she values loyalty. It's good right?" Oliver asked. He wants to build a positive image of Kyra in his sister's mind before introducing Kyra to her. It seems like he is at an advantage now. 

"Maybe. But she is vengeful and is very possessive. She is ruthless and didn't cave in even after noticing Elena and her company's plight." Nora said. 

"Elena is at fault, Nora. She would have plagiarized LK group's laptop design if they were not cautious." Oliversaid. 

"I know, bro. But why should they go to this extent and attempt to bankrupt the Davis Company? It's just a plagiarism attempt. They didn't suffer any loss." Nora said. 

"Eleena's company was in collaboration with LK groups but they tried to betray them and get all the profits for themselves For someone who values the loyalty so much, this betrayal is enough to go to such lengths." Oliver said. 

As he understands Kyra and knows her past, he can understand why she is so cold and unforgivable to someone who tries to betray her

"Why are you taking a stranger's side, brother? Yes, I understand that what Eleena did is not right but that CFO should have filed a case and terminated the contract and demanded the compensation mentioned in the contract. It's fair and I would have made Elena understand that. Bankruptcy is a terrible thing, bro. What would happen to employees?" Nora said. 

Oliver couldn't say anything. 

He asked Kyra once why she did that to Eleena's company. 

Kyra told him that she wanted to buy that company and label it with her company's name. She said that she is ruthless to that company and Davis family only because this is not their first time and have done terrible things before. 

Besides that, acquiring that company would extend LK group into a few other domains. 

"Leave about that. Let's talk about something else." Oliver said as he served breakfast. 

"Bro, are you free this weekend?" Nora asked. 

"Why are you asking?" Oliver asked. 

He and Kyra decided to go on the long road trip for two days. They planned it this weekend and they have already decided everything and even booked a beautiful cottage on the mountain side for a night and even planned where else to stop by. 

He is looking forward to having that quality time with Kyra. Their relationship might strengthen up and they would get to find out more about each other. 

"Let's spend some time together in our mansion, bro. Let's cook our favorite dishes, rewatch our favorite Japanese anime, play video games all night, go on a night drive and have dinner at our favorite restaurant." Nora said. 

"It's been months since we did that and I really miss our siblings time." she added. 

Oliver never felt this helpless ever before. 

One side, it is his girlfriend and on the other side, it is his sister. Both of them are equally important and he can't show bias in this aspect. 

"Let me see my schedule, Nora. I will let you know later." Oliver said. 

"What schedule? I already looked into your schedule and you don't have any meetings in the company and you don't have any surgeries scheduled in the hospital as well." Nora said. 

"I have some research work in a research institute. I have to look into it and decide if I can postpone them." Oliver lied. 

He has to develop some plan for this weekend so that both the girls in his life won't feel neglected by him. 

"Bro, are they more important than me?" Nora asked. 

"All those researches and experiments are for you, Nora." Oliver said. 

"I want to spend some time with you and you have never said no ever before. No matter how important your work is, you have always postponed them excluding the emergency surgeries."

"You changed, brother." saying the last sentence, Nora wheeled herself to her room. 

"Nora, wait!" Oliver said but Nora didn't give a heck about it. 

Oliver sighed and went back to his room to get ready. He will sort this out by afternoon and then coax his sister. 

Not very long after Oliver went back to his room, Nora wheeled herself out of his house. 

She is so pissed off that she needs to vent it out. The best solution for this is playing violin for her so, she is on her way to her house where she has her violin set-up. 

-----

After Nora wheeled herself into the elevator, it stopped at the down floor. 

Kyra, who was waiting for the elevator, entered. She is wearing her leggings and a tank top and a jacket. 

She just finished her workout and then remembered that she had left a few documents in her house in Crescent Gardens. So, she is on her way to fetch them and get ready for work. 

"No. I forgot the documents in my house. I am going to fetch them." Kyra spoke on her phone . 

"Breakfast?" she asked. 

"You made such a sumptuous breakfast in that short span of time? I am going to miss my boyfriend's cooking from now on." Kyra said in an adorable voice as she pouted a little. 

"No need to bring some for me. I am going to cook something quick. Or, I could eat in our hospital's cafeteria."

"Moreover, we have surgery to perform the very next hour, so I would prefer to have a full meal after that." Kyra responded to the speaker on the other side who is none other than Oliver. 

Meanwhile, Nora looked at Kyra's back. She felt that Kyra's face is a little familiar but she didn't get a chance to have a detailed look. 

And, her attention is more focussed on Kyra's conversation. 

Hospital cafeteria. 

Surgery. 

Documents. 

After listening to this conversation, she could tell that this woman is a doctor and her home is not in this community.
