Chapter 9: Meeting Kevin

Lucy shattered with her words and asked, "Wh... why?"

"Just our rival company lately going ahead of us, so dad had some suspicion, therefore, he traps the cheater, and the spy got arrested and fired but I doubt there is another hoax inside the house and I guess it is John" Elizabeth responded casually glimpsing Lucy.

"Oh! but why do you guess it is John?" Lucy inquired and her mood loosened up than early.

"John has been indifferent and I observed him he was steadily watching our every move and I think my accident is also associated to him, otherwise the other party cannot skillfully select a duration when I am off guard" declaring this she glimpsed at Lucy who is now lenient and asked ''what do you feel about it?''

"Eh... this It will not be good if I intervene in your internal affairs but as your best friend, I can also feel something is off. I will ask the Housekeeping agency about John whereabouts for you so you can rest assured." Lucy answered she reckoned as John is now getting suspected it is good to send him off from her way to victory contrarily what if he shifts side it will not be nice. With that in mind, she had already scheduled to disappear John from Elizabeth's view.

Elizabeth then bid farewell with Lucy hugging her although she felt disgusted she endured. She also said do not put up with today's behavior to heart she was only asking for help, when she said this Lucy accepted it as Elizabeth was contending her not to misjudge and her ego convinced and do not analyze this topic further and moves to settle John.

Elizabeth chauffeur was waiting outdoors. She seats in the backseat and called "Go to the company."

"Yes, young miss." They arrived in an hour at the company's front door.

When Elizabeth stood in front of the company she catches sight of a slightly familiar figure inside the company. Just as she was walking towards the elevator.

The familiar figure obstructed her path and says, "Hi, Eliza long time no see"

"How are you? I heard you had an accident, is everything alright?"

He was first amazed to see her change in appearance he remembers she always dressed shabbily. Although the next second he conveyed in his sanity 'so what she is going to be his wife, it's useful if she looks beautiful.' The people in the company also notice them and think that Kevin is befriended with the CEO's daughter, and speculated that he will surely acquire the general manager post. They were envious. He can notice there glance and felt proud.

Elizabeth glances at him Eliza when did they become so familiar. According to their secret relationship, they can't be friendly in public. The person was none other than Kevin.

She is so foolish loving this giggle, not a man. That selfless love made her blind. She never even doubt when he said to keep the relationship a secret now let's continue to pretend.

She sneers inside her heart and replied with a smile, "Oh! yes, I am alright as you can see."

"You are at peek of your work right when did you become so free to chat with me?" she asked him.

This question makes him startled her voice was audible and obvious so that everybody could hear them, so the people who have misinterpreted them close scoff it was just an admirer. Oh ho, and we felt he was close to Young Miss. Their voice was clear and Kevin heard them.

But Elizabeth pretends she did not hear and continued "And when did we become so close please call me Elizabeth."

Now Kevin began to feel awkward. He thought yeah, she has not accepted to reveal their relationship publicly for now but practically never discussed to not confront each other. He said to behave like a stranger in front of people. Thereof he cannot retort to her and can only shift the topic.

"Ah! alright, Elizabeth did you forget that you commended me that you will be my wife after graduation because now you do not wish for any hindrance in your studies" as he said this he was a little optimistic because of the change in the attitude of Elizabeth was making him anxious.

"Oh! that yes I have said that but recall clearly I said I will think about it not to surely become your wife. Dating and Marriage are two different matters. Alright, I am here to pick my dad please excuse..." With that, she entered the elevator.

Kevin was fully annoyed he was a respected employee at the company and felt humiliated. He thought indeed that was the truth she only said to think not to promise to avoid further embarrassment he move to his desk to perform tasks. He was overconfident.

He thought that he will need to contact Lucy there is something different about today's Elizabeth. But today he got ridiculed by his colleagues and cannot retort he keeps in mind to discipline them in the future. He had already laid his mindset to marry Elizabeth and become the company's CEO.

Elizabeth arrived at her dad's office. One of his dad's secretory guides her to his office and reported that sir young miss is here and leaves respectfully.

While Elizabeth enters inside Harris Personal Assistant was recounting him today's analytical report and once Elizabeth enters he leaves tactfully bowing towards Elizabeth respectfully as she was there future boss.

Harris did not expect that Elizabeth will truly show up he was pleasantly surprised. Recently his bond with her daughter was not good and they often ended up arguing so he did not converse to her casually.

As Elizabeth sat opposite at the nearby sofa she asked, "Dad have you finished?"

''Eh...! yes, just give me five minutes," Harris said withdrawing his thoughts. Her daughter changed but it was promising so he was pleased.

Five minutes later they depart from the company together and headed towards the residence. In-car Harris asked Elizabeth about her studies and said she did not need to stress out grades did not matter much. When Elizabeth heard this she was speculating was there any parent on Earth who will tell their child that grades did not matter, they usually reprimand them for conducting poorly. But looks like in her case it was contrary her dad want to spoil her.

"Dad..." She said pouting. "I will be sure to have good grades and it counts ok"

''yes, yes just do not stress out yourself health is more important." Harris cared for her daughter it did not matter if her grades were bad he had already thought for her future she just needs to be satisfied as long as she is happy everything else did not matter.

After a while they reach home. At 8'0' clock, they had dinner and go to their rooms wishing good night.

Elizabeth was assembling books for tomorrow's lectures and inside study, Harris received a call from his father Oliver Smith asking him if he had notified Elizabeth about the marriage announcement. Harris replied dad I will tell her tomorrow do not worry and if she did not agree we will not force her.

Another side the old man sigh "if the marriage candidate was not good for Elizabeth we might have not considered it but you know Elizabeth and him have known each other already and he was also doing great it will be good if they get married. I have talked to them they will be there for the banquet be sure to inform Elizabeth before the banquet."

"Ok, dad I will" Harris replied and cut the call.
