Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

The afternoon…..

After Kyra quickly corriered Sophia's passport, she went to her company, LK Groups to attend the meeting with the new executives from the Finance and strategy department which lasted for two and half hours. 

Now, she is currently on her way to the hotel to have a business meeting with her dearest step sister over lunch. 

Kyra's step sister Melissa is three years older than her and has graduated from a business school. 

However, her passion lies in modeling, so she divides her time equally between her career and modeling. 

Dressed in a formal yet trendy business suit, she patiently waited in the private room for the other party to arrive. 

She would have gotten angry by now as she had to wait this long but she has heard that the person coming to meet her now is no ordinary and is a backbone of the LK groups. 

'He should be around mid age to have accomplished so much.' This is Melissa's point of view. 

'Ms. Roberts, my boss is here. I will be taking my leave then.' Kyra's friend/ temporary personal assistant Hayley, said Melissa and was about to leave the room. 

She had arrived earlier and was waiting for Kyra to arrive. Hayley wanted to observe Melissa before leaving Kyra with her. 

As she is one of the few persons who knows about Kyra's past, she is naturally cautious. 

"One minute." Melissa said, stopping Hayley at the door. 

Hayley turned around with her left eyebrow raised. 

"I heard that you are the personal secretary of the CEO of LK groups. If I am not meeting the CEO, why are you here?" Melissa asked. However, she realised that her questions could be misunderstood, so she quickly added more explanation to it. 

"What I meant to ask is, Is the person I am meeting now so important that you have personally attended today?" she added. 

Hayley smiled. 

"Yes. She is as important as the CEO." saying so she left the room. 

"She?" Melissa whispered to herself. 

"Be careful. I am getting bad vibes from that woman." Hayley told Kyra whom she met in the corridor. 

"You are overthinking. Melissa is not that cunning and dangerous. She is just like a puppet in my biological mother's hands, " Kyra assured her friend. 

"I don't care. If something happens to you I will be killed by your dear brothers and boyfriend." Hayley grumbled. But her genuine concern is evident in her black orbs. 

Kyra chuckled and gave a brief hug to her friend. "I won't have my ace employee killed. Don't worry " saying so, she left. 

"You better keep your word." Hayley said as she looked at Kyra's receding figure. 

Kyra stopped at the door and sighed. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and the memories she had with Melissa's resurfaced. 

Their girl nights, Melissa teaching her the art of makeup, tagging along for shopping, helping in her studies…

Genuine or not, Kyra really appreciated the sisterly love they had until she got betrayed. 

'She is an accomplice too, Kyra. She knew what her father and step mother were planning to do with you.' Kyra reminded herself before opening the door. 

Melissa turned her head to look at the person, as soon as she heard the door open. 

And, the very next second she saw the woman at the door, her mind went blank. 

Dressed in a white, turtle neck top, she coupled it with a black blazer and blank pants. Her long hair is freely resting on her shoulders and her three inch heels made her long legs look even more sexy and hot. 

Her hazel golden eyes sparkled under the light and her strawberry lips glistened with beauty. 

'She is damn beautiful.' Melissa thought. 

But when Kyra approachedstarted to approached her , the view of Kyra's features became more clear to her eyes.

'She… she looks a little similar to Alexandra (Kyra)' Melisaa thought as she stared at Kyra. 

Same eyes. 

Same hair color.

Even their features are a little similar. 

"Ms. Roberts." Kyra greeted and took her seat. 

'No, this is not Alex. Alex can't be this confident and she doesn't have a strong personality like this woman here.' Melissa thought inside. 

Besides this, Alex is dead anyway. 

Even if she is alive, which she is not, she wouldn't have reached this level. 

"Ms. Roberts?" Kyra called again. She knows what is going on in Melissa's mind. 

"Yes. Yes. Sorry Ms. K." Melissa apolosized. 

Everyone in LK groups calls Lisa as Ms. L and Kyra as Ms. K. 

Just before Hayley left, she told Melissa that the person she would be meeting is called Ms. K. 

"Seems like something is preoccupying your mind, Ms. Roberts. I will be wanting unwavered attention at this meeting." Kyra said. Her voice has that sense of authority and that made Melissa focus. 

Her paranoia about Alex being alive was temporarily suppressed. 

"I don't understand why our terms were not being accepted, Ms. K. We haven't made any unreasonable demands and my company's market value is good enough to strike these demands." Melissa came to the point. 

"I won't deny that your company is more suitable for this collaboration. However, we are currently having second thoughts because of the rumors of the internal rivalry going on in your company."

"If those rumors are legit, the demands you made would pull us into loss." Kyra said. 

"Those rumors are...well… rumors. Not real." Melissa said confidently. 

Truth to be told, the internal rivalry is true. Roberts company was just a medium sized enterprise eight years back. 

After taking all the shares of The Zenith Corp from Kyra, they became the major shareholders of that multi-billion company and merged it with their family business and renamed it as Roberts corps. 

At that time they didn't get much opposition. The executives of Zenith Corp thought that their mysterious CEO (Kyra's maternal grandmother) transferred these shares to her daughter, who is Kyra's mother. 

Moreover, they didn't feel like there would be any problem even if the company is renamed and is merged with a small sized enterprise. 

But after eight years, which is now, some opposition about the company shares, authority and management started to surface. 

------

After having a long discussion with Kyra, Melissa still couldn't persuade her. 

Right now she is in the washroom, on call with her father. 

"Dad, that woman is really something. She has counter responses for every point I raise. She is really inconceivable and God, I can't persuade her to accept our terms."

"I am getting so frustrated and irritated but I am utterly helpless. She is someone I can't offend and the worst thing is she is younger than me. I am getting cornered by her, dad."

"She is scary." Melissa said, almost on the verge of tears and from her voice it is obvious that she is angry yet helpless. 

"Fine.Fine. I will come back and next time, I am not meeting this scary little brat. You guys can try to handle her." she responded to her father. 

After that she left the washroom and not very long after that, Nira who was using the washroom came out. 

She has heard everything and from the voice alone she could tell that it is Melissa. She knows Melissa because they studied in the same school. 

Melissa was her senior. 

"So, Melissa got outran by someone." Nora thought as she snickered. 

Melissa is someone who won't admit defeat. She is known for her stubborn and headstrong character. 

Although she has some admiring qualities as well, Nora never liked her character. 

Melissa is a prideful, spoiled brat who used to annoy her so much in their business school. 

Her pride was because of her outstanding persuasion and manipulation qualities. 

Now, after hearing that someone outsmarted Melissa and trampled her, she couldn't help her curiosity to take a look at that person. 

Carefully, she followed Melissa and by the time Melissa reached the door, Kyra just came out of the private room. 

From far, Nora continued to look at them and once she noticed who that lady was, a smile made its way to her face. 

She is the lady from the elevator at her brother's house. 

'Three times in two days. Are we destined to meet so frequently?' Nora thought as she looked at Melissa who said her farewell and started to leave. 

"This is so satisfying." She thought and quickly hid herself behind the wall when she noticed that Kyra was walking in her direction. 

Nora was at the left corridor when Kyra leaned on the wall beside it and answered the call. 

"It's done. She is pathetic." Kyra answered the person on the other side. 

"Yes. You are right." she answered again. It was Oliver and he said that 'See, it is not that tough to meet someone from the past.' 

"Hmm." Kyra hummed when Oliver said 'You are out of her league now and so is her family.' from the other side. 

"I miss you" Kyra said and her longing for him is so evident in her voice. 

"It's fine. We will meet the day after tomorrow anyway. For now enjoy with your family. I will see you later, bye.." Kyra ended the call and as soon as she ended it, her phone started to ring again.
