Marry?

"Marry me..." Kyle said. 

'Now this guy is something else....' Faridah thought and was about to answer his proposal when Keteki entered the room. 

"Ma'am, I already book a grand place for the Hamilton's Auction." He said as Faridah smiled and nodded at Keteki knowing how hard he worked overnight to fix everything online including the bashes from the internet about the Hamilton's failed auction. 

"Thank you Keteki..." She said as Keteki nodded in return and glance at Kyle. "Did I disturb the both of you?" He asked as Kyle can't even look at him properly. 

"Not at all, We were just talking," Faridah reassured as Keteki nodded since he knew that there is something off with the both of them. "Another thing Ma'am is that the Lim wanted to offer you a proposal regarding the new hotel that the Hamilton will make." Keteki said. 

"Your talking about the Solis G Hotel right?" Faridah asked as she looked into the formal email that the Lim sent to her. 

"What does he want now..." Faridah thought yet she's very vocal for Kyle to look worried about her. 

"I'm sorry I was just bothered about this, Anyways let's all get back to work now." Faridah said as Kyle stand up and face her. "I will ask you again about my question some other time Faridah, It seems like you have tons of things to do." He said as Faridah smiled sadly knowing what he meant by it. 

'After all Faridah's business is the most important thing for her right now.' He said to himself as he glance lastly to Faridah busy with Keteki and the files that Keteki presents to her. 

As Kyle leave the room Faridah cannot help but asked Keteki about her action towards Kyle. "Am I a bad person?" she asked as Keteki stopped talking as Faridah looked flustered after Kyle left the room. 

"Do you want to resume this later on Ma'am?" Keteki asked as Faridah sighed and shake her head as she continue with work. "I know that there is something bothering you right now Ma'am but you must also remember the main reason why we are here in Alaska is not for us to have fun but to take care of the company's reputation." Keteki said coldy as he cannot afford Faridah getting distracted right now.

"I know, I am sorry about this Keteki." She said as Keteki nodded and smiled sadly. 

Kyle is outside taking a stroll on the snow as a dog suddenly jump into him as he start licking his face. "Polo! Get off him! I am so sorry sir." she said as she gets her dog Husky name Polo. 

"It's fine, I'm glad that Polo is such an active dog." he said as he pat the dog's head. "He like winter so much that is why...." she said as she smiled at Kyle. 

"I'm afraid that he would get frostbites by being in the cold for too long." She said concerning Polo's behavior in the snow.

"Ah, you see, Huskies are nature's snow geniuses crafted with a double coat to conquer the cold, paws engineered for icy grip, and an instinct to dig cozy dens in the snow, all while frolicking like snow-loving athletes in their natural, frosty paradise!" he said it made Polo's owner sigh in relief.

"You seem to know a lot about dogs." She said as Kyle smiled sadly. "I'm Kathrine by the way, I haven't seen you in this area before, Are you perhaps a tourist?" she asked out of curiousity when Kyle was about to answer yet Keteki arrive in time and cut their conversation off. 

"I'm sorry about this madame Kathrine, Did this mister disturb your walk with Polo?" He asked s he bow down his head. 

'Madame Kathrine?' Kyle asked himself as he remembers her now since before they arrive in Alaska Keteki told him that not to get involve in the Madame's manor or she will take interest in you and won't let you go.

"It's fine Keteki, I can see that your research here is about to end. This young man is quite promising." She said as she smirked as it gives chills in both Keteki and Kyle. 

'I cannot let the madame be interested in Kyle or else Faridah will go berserk.' Keteki said as Kyle bow down his head. 

"I'm already a fiance of someone ma'am." he said as Kathrine looked into his hand as the blue diamond was glistening in the cold snow. "A blue diamond..." she whispered as she saw Faridah standing behind Keteki and Kyle. 

"Hmmm, I cannot fight with the person you are with right now after all she's someone scary when it comes to business ventures. I will let you both off the hook. Have a good day." She said as she take Polo with her. 

"Why would you run off with Madam Kathrine of all the people." Keteki said looking at the madam walking away. He knew that this isn't over. 'Why did she suddenly walk away?' he asked himself.

"I didn't know that it would be her, For a child to be called as Madam who is she?" Kyle asked. 

"Kyle." Faridah called as it made Keteki's heart drop. "Come with me." A cold tone of Faridah made Kyle hesistate to move his feet. 

"Kyle." She repeated as Kyle gulp and looked at Keteki. "Go already." Keteki mouthed since he don't want to be involved with Faridah's bad mood right now. 

Faridah and Kyle arrived on the research lab as Faridah didn't talk about Kathrine or what happened in the yard. Rather than that she was focused by the red diamond to reassure that it was the same fragments with the blue diamond. 

"Are you mad?" He asked as the diamond in his hands are being scanned by the scientist. "Why would I be mad?" she asked like he was confused by his question. 

"About Madam Kathrine she looked like a kid." Faridah smash the glass table as she looked frustrated, Everyone stopped their work and stared at each other. 

Keteki sighed and enter the room. "Let's take a break and come back after thirty minutes." Keteki said as everyone leave the lab while Faridah's hand is bleeding. 

"Faridah..." Kyle called and was about to touch her when Keteki stopped him. "You can also take a break Kyle, I will take care of her wound." he said as Faridah cannot even looked at Kyle. 

He was very confuse yet he need to follow orders like an employee of the Hamilton. 

"Why would you make a scene out of this jealousy of yours Ma'am?" Keteki asked as he start disinfecting Faridah's hand.

"Kathrine pissed me off. That child knew that Kyle is somehow interesting as she looked at me with that smirked in her face. I swear I could kill that instant!" she shouted as Keteki sigh. 

Faridah and Katherine didn't have that great relationship as having a research team in Alaska where Kathrine ruled is already a hard thing. 

Kathrine Amelix, the spoiled daughter of a billionaire, lives a life where whatever she wants, she gets it immediately. Whether it's a new designer collection, a private island getaway, or a rare luxury car, nothing is out of reach for her. With her father's endless wealth at her disposal, patience is a concept she's never had to learn.

"That kid will be a pain in the ass on this research, Make sure that she doesn't get involve in the Hamilton's auction." she said as Keteki finished treating her wound and put bandage on it. 

"I cannot gurantee such thing Ma'am after all having the Amelix presense in the Hamilton's auction is something that could build up our name in the other business tycoons." Keteki explained as Faridah sighed. 

"You seem quite strong for breaking this glass with just one hand." Keteki teased as Faridah looked devastated. "Did I scare him?" she asked after all she didn't look at Kyle after breaking the glass table since she was embarassed by her temper and behavior.

"No, rather than that he's more concerned about your wound." He said as Faridah smiled sadly. 

"He asked me to marry him." she started. "Really, he have the guts to ask Faridah Hamilton for marriage." Keteki said smiling. "What's that smile for?" she asked as Keteki lose his smile and cleared his throat. 

"What did you respond to him then?" he asked as Faridah sighed. "You come in the right moment and I wasn't able to give him a proper answer." she said as Keteki smirked. 

"So are you perhaps reconsidering Mr. Greyson to be your husband?" he asked as Faridah just covered her face out of frustration. "I don't know Keteki, I want to fix his life first after all he's too young to ask me to be his wife." Faridah said as Kyle was listening the whole time as he entered the lab. 

"So was it a no?" Kyle asked as Faridah and Keteki looked at Kyle who is waiting for Faridah's respond. 

'Whatever her answer her will be the next step or the end of our romance.' Kyle thought as Faridah looked hesitant. 

"No...."She answered as Kyle knew that this will be the end of their romantic venture after all Faridah just looked at him as a young incompetent man.

Keteki sighed as he knew that Kyle misunderstood her answer while Faridah cannot even properly say what she wants.
