Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

Nora didn't want to eavesdrop but she couldn't suppress her curiosity about this woman. She must say that this lady here is very interesting. 

The first day, which was yesterday,  she saw her in the elevator. Nora came to the conclusion that she is a doctor. 

Today, she is here, having a business meeting with Melissa. 

'This lady must be a genius and a hardworking person. She reminds me of my brother.' Nora thought inside as she eavesdropped on Kyra who was on call with Oliver who is none other than Nora's brother. 

'And, from her conversation with her boyfriend, she doesn't look like a clingy and fussy girlfriend.' Nora thought after listening to Kyra who asked Oliver to enjoy it with his family first. 

'And, she seems very busy.' she thought when Kyra's phone started to ring again.

The second call Kyra picked up is from Sophia and Lisa who are enjoying their vacation. 

"Enjoying it?" Kyra asked with a gentle voice. 

"Me? Just finished a meeting. Had to go back for another meeting." Kyra answered Lisa's question. 

"That's fine, Lisa. I can hold the fort. Just enjoy to your fullest okay?" Kyra told Lisa who, on the other hand, apologised to her for dumping all the work on Kyra and went on a vacation. 

"Stop apologising, silly. I know you will do the same for me if I want to go on a vacation with my boyfriend." Kyra said with a chuckle when Lisa didn't stop with her apologising. 

"Oops! I forgot that you are on a girls vacation. I didn't mean to show off." Kyra teased Lisa who complained to Kyra for showing off. 

"That's okay, dear. After my brother is done with his matches, I will somehow trick him to go on blind date with you. Rest will be on your performance." Kyra comforted Lisa who is attracted to Kyra's fifth brother, the renowned Tennis player. 

"Sophia? Her relationship with my fourth brother is too complicated for me to interfere. Even a sister has some boundaries she shouldn't cross, right? I could set a blind date for you with my brother but I can't push him to reciprocate your feelings. Just in the same way, I can't interfere anymore in their relationship." Kyra tools to Lisa who just told her that Sophia and Ryan had another quarrel and this time it is serious. 

"Maybe they are really not meant for each other. They can only remain as friends if they keep on fighting and blaming each other like this. I can't push Sophia nor can I push my brother to make their relationship work" Kyra sighed. 

"Yes..yes. I will call after I go back." Kyra replied to Lisa on the call, who asked her to let go of this topic. 

"Nope. I will be going back to Crescent Gardens tonight. I have to finish my paintings. Exhibition is around the corner and my manager is already worried." Kyra sighed. 

"I will remember. Bye." saying so, Kyra finished the call and walked away, totally not aware of what her unintentional speech changed Nora's perspective.

Meanwhile, Nora who just heard Kyra's words of relationship and boundaries is in deep thought. 

From the conversation she heard, she could tell that this lady here was on call with her two best friends who are in love with this lady's brothers. 

'She is a good friend. She is willing to overwork so that her friend can enjoy her vacation. She is very similar to Jennifer.' Nora thought remembering how this lady assured her friend that she can manage. 

'And, she is right. Even sisters have boundaries that shouldn't be crossed. In my case, I think I have crossed them not once but many times. But my brother never got angry at me for violating his privacy.' Nora thought. 

'And, I can't push Jennifer too. It won't work.' Nora sighed. 

"What are you doing here?" Oliver, who came in search of his sister, said as he approached her. 

"I… I was doing nothing." Nora said. 

"I thought you got lost." Oliver teased his sister, ruffling her hair. 

"Bro, I am sorry." Nora said. 

"For what?" Oliver asked in a gentle yet surprised tone. His sister never apologise He has pampered and spoiled her so much that she became quite stubborn. 

"For what I said today morning. I shouldn't have forced you to date Jennifer. I crossed my line." Nora said. 

Oliver smiled and kneels on one of his knees and looked into his sister's eyes. 

"I understand why you did that, Nora. I understand it quite well but I never saw Jennifer that way so I can never even think of dating her or marrying her. I can't look at her that way and I can't treat her how a husband should treat his wife."

"That would only hurt both of us. We would end up as an unhappy family and eventually divorce each other. Seeing me and Jenny in that situation would only make you feel guilty for pushing us." Oliver said. 

"I didn't want to hurt Jenny so I shouted at you. I am sorry for that." Oliver apologised as well. 

After putting a full stop to their little argument, Oliver and Nora have spent quality sibling time in the resort which Oliver's company is currently working on. 

While Oliver is spending time with his sister, Kyra spent her Saturday night with her childhood friend Jennifer. They recalled their happy memories and revisited the places they used to hang out often. Then they called it a night and Kyra spent her Sunday in her garden studio, finishing her paintings and attending virtual meetings with her manager from the studio.

Next day…

Nora was reluctant to go back to work but she had to. It is Monday and she has a lot of pending work to finish. 

Most importantly, she has to meet her best friend, Jennifer, who has promised to introduce her 'boyfriend' with whom she claimed to have fallen in love during her stay in London. 

Although she is not hellbent to pair her brother and best friend anymore, that doesn't mean she would leave this matter. She understood that she can't force her brother and Jennifer but she can at least try to change her brother's heart. 

There are cases in which a man and woman who have treated each other as friends and siblings have fallen in love later. After all, a single moment is enough to change the view of a person. Just one spark!

Nora knows that she is being stubborn and unreasonable but it is her biggest dream to see her brother and best friend marry each other. The outcome of this last effort of hers doesn't matter. I

f fortunate, she might change her brother's feelings towards Jennifer and even if that doesn't happen, she could at least convince herself that she has tried her best and let her dream go. 

She doesn't want any regrets to be left behind. 

However, before she could sketch her cupid plan, she has to make sure that Jennifer is not faking her claim of 'not single anymore'. 

If her best friend is really in love with her boyfriend, which she highly doubts, Nora won't proceed with her matchmaking plan anymore. 

She would make sure that Jennifer's boyfriend is genuine and serious and if he really passes her tests, she would happily give blessings to them. 

While Nora was anxiously waiting for the evening to arrive, Jennifer was sweating profusely while she waited near the airport to pick up her so-called 'boyfriend'. 

'Will he come?" she thought as she fiddled with her fingers. 

The person who is coming now is her neighbour, Anthony. They lived in adjacent penthouses in Australia and had a bitter sweet relationship. 

The reason why she decided to call him is because he owes her a favour. 

However, she is not sure whether he will come or not. That is because they ended their farewell on a bad note. 

"Jennifer." a deep, husky voice came from behind, making Jennifer jump in fright. 

When she turned around, she couldn't help but get mesmerised by the man in front of her. 

6 feet 3 inches tall, he has a well toned figure akin to a model. His natural blonde hair, his rich brownish eyes, his charming smile… they captivated her again. 

A pleasant blush made its way to her cheeks when some snippets of her memory flashed in her brain. 

"You came." she managed to utter while she tried to cool her erratic heart. This guy always makes her lose her cool self. 

"I have to." he said. Though he talks less, Jennifer feels like she can understand what's going on in his heart. 

By reflex, she was about to take his luggage and accidentally their fingers touched, sending a zap of electricity into her body. Jennifer immediately retreated and gestured towards her car. 

"I booked a hotel for you." she said, feeling awkward. This is the first time they are alone in this small space after 'that incident' between them. 

"No need." Anthony said. 

"Please. It is the least I can do to disrupt your busy schedule." Jennifer urged. 

Looking at her for a few seconds he said, 'Fine.'

Jennifer gulped and tried to focus on the road.

When Kyra said that she and Oliver got into an accident because of Oliver's distracted mind, she thought Kyra was exaggerating a little. 

But now, she realised that her friend wasn't lying. 

Just like how Kyra distracted Oliver which caused the accident, Anthony's hot gaze on her is making her jittery and she must say that it is getting hard to focus on the road.
