"Wait for some more time." A voice was heard from the other side of the bluetooth.
The man understood, and decided to observe all this for more time.
On the other hand, the girls decided to call it a day.
Kizy had already called Joel, who reached there on time, picking Ruth up to drop her back at the dungeon.
"So let's meet more often like this. Ruth is such a funny girl. I truly liked her." Nina said, still remembering how joyful their day was because of Ruth.
"Yes definitely, but only after you are done with your exams." Kizy said sternly.
Nina was preparing for her final examination, after which she would become a surgeon and join her father at the hospital.
"I'll be done within two months. After that you will have to book an appointment before meeting me!" Nina said cockily.
"As if I am meeting you." Kizy said nonchalantly, which received a pout from Nina.
A man, who had been keeping a watch over them once again made a call.
"I think they are leaving." He said.
"Release the news right now." The voice on the other side ordered.
"Ok. What about the girls?" He asked.
"You just keep following her." The voice said and the call ended.
Meanwhile Kizy and Nina were still talking, unknown to the storm that was about to hit them.
"Okay okay, let's talk about this later. Let me drop you home first." Kizy said.
"I can go back on my own." Nina said.
"No let me come. Anyways, I want to meet my uncle." Kizy said, trying to make some excuse as she was continuously having this bad feeling. She felt that they were being watched, but she couldn't find anyone suspicious.
"I said I can go-" Nina was still speaking when Kizy's phone rang.
She saw that the caller was Joel, and she quickly accepted the call.
"What happened Joe-" She was still asking when Joel cut her off.
"Young Miss we are in trouble. Please come back to the company immediately!" Joel said, his tone urgent.
"Okay, I'll be there. What about Ruth? Where is she?" Kizy still thought about Ruth first, fearing her intuitions about someone following them was related to this.
"I dropped her off at the dungeon and I am on my way to the company." Joel answered.
"Ok." Kizy said and hung up.
"Is there any problem?" Nina asked, looking at her friends darkened face.
"Yeah, Markus's company is facing some problem. I'll have to leave now. But what about you?" Kizy asked, her intuitions warning her for some huge trouble.
"I'll hail a cab. No worries." Nina said, knowing Kizy won't be stressed out unnecessarily.
"Should I drop you first? I have bodyguards and a car along with me." Kizy said.
"Stop worrying unnecessarily. I'll go by myself. Go and have a look at company." Nina said, assuringly.
With that Kizy waoted for Nina to find a cab and sent her back home, even saving the plate number of cab and repeatedly asking Nina to call her once she was back home.
Once she had sent Nina away, Kizy went back to her car where Jack and Alex were waiting for her.
"Any news about the company?" Kizy asked them.
"Someone released news about our company, after which our stocks have been going down, hitting rock bottom for the first time." Alex answered while Jack started the car.
"What news?" Kizy asked.
"Actually ladyboss… the news…" Jack didn't kmew how to disclose such news to Kizy.
"What? Speak properly." Kizy said, not understanding what was wrong with Jack.
"Sorry ladyboss.. I can't disclose the news. You will find this out once you are back to the company." Alex said, knowing why Jack couldn't speak anything.
"Fine." Kizy said before taking her phone out, searching for any news related to 'Stardust' and the next moment, Markus's name could be seen everywhere, trending as hottest topic.
"Markus Evans : most eligible bachelor or just a womanizer?"
"Business tycoon Markus's true nature!"
"Is Markus seriously a gentleman?"
"Hidden beneath the false facade is a manwhore!"
"Twenty nine women already in the list. Is there anymore?"
"Markus uses Kizy's name to hide his private affairs."
"Justice seeking Markus : biggest lie."
"What the hell is this!" Kizy exclaimed, not able to remain calm anymore.
"Boss we trust in boss. We can assure that someone is framing boss. Boss will never do such things." Jack answered immediately, knowing he couldn't hide it anymore.
"Of course I know that Jack. But who is so against him that he will go to such lengths, paying twenty nine girls to frame Markus. This is too muc-" Kizy was still speaking when she suddenly stopped, her eyes wide from realisation.
"Break all the speed limits, we need to get back to company right now. Immediately." Kizy said, her voice dire.
And Jack did not dare to disobey Kizy's order. He immediately breaked all signals, reaching company within next five minutes.
Till that time, Kizy had gone through three articles, grasping proper updates about latest news on Markus.
But the company gate was blocked with media, reporters and commoners, protesting against Markus.
"Take the private back route. Directly to the private parking." Kizy said.
Jack followed and turned the car, fortunately escaping the corwd before anyone could pay them any attention.
He went by the private route, stopping the car in private parking.
Kizy immediately ran out of the car, pressing button for elevator no.1 furiously.
She quickly reached the top floor within two minutes, running inside Markus office and pushing the door open.
Markus, whose face had darkened, his hairs dishevelled from brushing them repeatedly with his fingers, while his tie was loosely hanging with top two buttons of his shirt undone while watching his laptop screen greeted her sight.
"Young Miss!" Joel said, making Markus lift his face and look towards Kizy, who was breathless from all the rushing.
