Chapter 78：Ask for permission

"Kira!" Lea is panting as she runs inside the villa.

She rushed to the Villa as soon as she heard what happened to Kira the other day!

"Kira?!" Lea called for her best friend's name!

Kira is currently talking to the servants in the dining area when she heard a noise.

She stopped talking and tried to listen to the noise.

"Lea?" Kira mumbled when she recognizes Lea's voice.

She gets out of the dining area and went to the living room.

Sevi and Tasha turned their heads to the front door when they heard a woman's voice.

They saw a woman who looked like the same age as the Missus.

Sevi and Tasha throw a meaningful look at each other.

They don't know this woman!

"How did she get in here?" Tasha asked Sevi in a low voice.

"I don't know, we should not let her get close to the Missus," Sevi replied.

The two of them instantly move and blocked the woman from entering the house.

Lea stopped in her track when two people wearing a bodyguard's outfit blocked her way.

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in here?" Sevi and Tasha questioned Lea.

Lea looked up to the two bodyguards, "Let me in, I want to talk to Kira," Lea said in a panic.

"Let her in Sevi, she's my friend!" Kira suddenly spoke from behind them.

Sevi and Tasha look behind them.

"Oh, I'm sorry Missus, we don't know it," Sevi apologized and then they turned to Lea, "We were sorry, Miss,"

"It's alright!" Lea replied, she then hurriedly approached Kira and checked her!

"Kira, were you hurt?" Lea asked worriedly.

"I heard what happened to you the last day!"Lea said while inspecting Kira.

"Lea, I'm alright, thank God nothing worst happens to me," Kira replied.

"Let's take a seat first," Kira said after a while.

The two of them sit on the couch.

"Agh! If I were there, I would beat them until their parents couldn't recognize them!" Lea said furiously.

"No need, Alex has already beat up that guy who tried to molest me," Kira said.

"W-What?" Lea blurted out.

"Alex beat the attacker?!"

"Ennn..." Kira nodded.

"He was the one who saved me," she added.

"Ohmo!" Lea was stunned.

"What's your husband's reaction?"

"Oh my God! I can't forget the last time they met!" Lea said nervously.

"We almost have a misunderstanding because of what happened," Kira said.

"A misunderstanding?" Lea repeated. "Is it because Alex was the one to save you?" she asked.

"No," Kira shook her head.

"It's not because of who saves who,"

Lea knitted her brows, "Then, why?"

"Somebody sent him a photo of me and Alex together."

"The culprit also sent a photo when the attacker tried to molest me,"

"The photo shows like I am doing something with another man and Tim thought that the man was Alex."

Lea's mouth went slightly open.

"Wait," She said with her knitted brows.

"You mean..."

"I think the culprit behind this is trying to use Alex to ruin my marriage to Tim," Kira said.

"Oh," Lea blurted out. "That makes sense," she said as she fell in deep thought.

"Then, do you have any idea who would do this to you?" Lea asked curiously.

Kira thinks for a moment, "There are only two people in my mind who would possibly do this," Kira said.

"Who?" Lea asked.

"Gaile and Madame Gezel" Kira replied.

"I know it's not good to accuse someone without any evidence, but they are the only people that I could think of," she added.

Lea nodded her head.

"Yeah, right! " Lea agreed.

"Gaile the love rival, it is possible that she would do the dirtiest way just to ruin you and Mr. Tan," she said.

"And the auntie?"

"It's also possible that she bribed someone to do that.

"She wants Tim to get mad at you because she hates you," Lea added.

Kira sigh, "Yeah, I thought about that too," she said.

Kira has fallen in deep thought, and then something suddenly came into her mind!

Kira turned her head to Lea, "Who told you about this anyway?" She asked.

"Huh?!" Lea froze for a moment.

"Uhm... It's... It's Coby..." She said.

Kira throws a meaningful look to Lea, " He told you about it?"

"Y-Yes..."

"Uh, I didn't know that the two of you are close to each other, or did I missed something between the two of you?" Kira teased Lea.

"H-Hey... Don't think too much, nothing is interesting between us," Lea draws her face closer to Kira, "That man doesn't have a human heart..." She whispered.

"Doesn't have the human heart?" Kira repeated.

"Yeah, because he is not human..." Lea replied.

Kira knitted her brows, "What is he then?"

"He is a robot or a grim reaper!"

"Hahaha!!" Kira burst into laughter!

"You're crazy!" she said in between her laughs.

"How could you say that?!"

Lea pouted her lips," He always wears a black suit, and his expression never changed!"

"He doesn't even know how to smile!"

"He is dumb and doesn't know how to be romantic, how much more to love someone?!" she complained.

Kira stopped laughing,

"Haaa..." She slowly sighs, "Babe, you don't know how love moves,"

"Love moves mysteriously, and before you knew it, you have already fallen to that person," she said.

"Well, I don't know if it would work on him!" Lea replied.

-----

It was already dark when Lea decided to leave.

She almost bumps into Coby on her way out.

Lea felt like her body turned stiff and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Coby.

"You're here, " Coby commented, without a smile on his face.

'Ugh, Lea, I think you're the only one who gets affected whenever the two of you get close to each other!' Lea secretly said inside.

"Uhm...Ehem!" Lea cleared her throat, "Y-Yeah, I came to visit Kira." She said.

"Are you going home?" Coby asked.

"Ennn..."Lea nodded her head.

"Let's go home together then," Coby said, still in his cold expression.

Lea stared at Coby as she unconsciously nodded her head.

"Wait for me for a while, I just have to send these files at Mr. Tan's study room," Coby said and then he hurriedly went upstairs.

Just then, Lea snapped back to her senses, 'Wait, did she just agree?'
