Chapter 26 - They Could Understand Each Other Without Any Words

It's been exactly a week since Kyra joined the hospital. So far it's going pretty well for her.

And, despite the short time they had known each other, she and Oliver are getting along exceptionally well. Yes, of course they had a few awkward yet cute situations but that didn't disturb their partnership in work.

To their surprise, they could understand each other without a means of communication during the surgeries. It is as if they have performed countless surgeries together and need no words to find what is going on in each other's mind. They are totally in sync.

They have performed only four surgeries till now and, all of them were successful. Even the most difficult ones which had a less success rate.

A day before the charity event.

Like usual, Oliver and Kyra made their evening round, enquiring about their patient's condition before taking a leave for the weekend. They could only hope that there would be no emergency calls during their weekends.

Kyra has so much to work. Although her people from the main base are working on the new branch of her company, she couldn't leave everything to them. She decided to go take a look and besides that, she has some virtual meetings to attend as well.

Not only that but her team is shifting here to work with their humantrafficking mission.

"I will come and pick you up tomorrow evening? Is it okay with you?"Oliver asked Kyra as they finished their rounds.

No one knows about this and thanks to that, Kyra was left in peace by his crazy fans. Well, not entirely. She has been getting envious, hate filled glares from most of the female staff in the hospital.

Oliver has a fan following more than Kyra anticipated and, yes, with his handsome looks, charming personality, noble aura and successful career, it's indeed hard not to admire. She can totally understand it. After all, she is his only student and personal fellow. Moreover, she is a female who is young and smart.

The uncomfortable attention she gets worth all her trouble. Although it's been a handful of days since she is working with Oliver, she totally enjoyed it and besides it, what she is getting to learn from him is priceless.

"Dr. Lopez?"Oliver called her when he noticed her in daze.

Kyra blinked her eyes and that was when she remembered that he asked her a question.

"No, no need", Kyra immediately answered but when she realized that it came out a little harsh she bit her tongue.

'So, unprofessional of you, Kyra' she scolded herself and cleared her throat.

"I don't want to trouble you, sir," Kyra spoke in her polite voice.

"It's not troublesome for me, Dr. Lopez. I could do this much for all the trouble I am putting you into," Oliver said with a smile.

When Kyra saw his smile, she felt like her throat was withering dry. For a second, she forgot how to breathe as well. These actions of her are making her go crazy as she couldn't come up with a reason for this attraction she has towards him.

Yes, he is her idol but still!

When Oliver saw Kyra staring at him again, he chuckled. He totally got used to this sudden reaction of Kyra. Strangely he didn't feel repulsive but quite the opposite to it. He enjoys it and he even wants to tease her but they are in their work and it would be unprofessional of both of them.

"You are not putting me into any trouble, sir. As it is a masquerade theme now, I can manage to hide my identity." Kyra answered, recovering from the aftereffects of her recent staring trance.

"It's final then. I am coming to pick you up. Please send me the address and did you arrange a mask for yourself, Ms. Lopez?", he asked.

"Yes, I have prepared a mask for tomorrow, sir. I will text you my address tomorrow morning," Kyra answered.

Oliver nodded his head and after they exchanged a smile, they parted their ways.

She is excited to go back today as she is shifting to her new house tonight. She simply couldn't wait to go and paint while sitting in her peaceful balcony garden. She can play her violin as well, looking at the moon.

Kyra entered through the huge gates after having a thorough security check. Her apartment is situated in the most expensive, modern and secure society in the city, Crescent Garden.

As soon as she entered, she was welcomed with the warm lights on either side of the road. The three storey villas of the same size and style were situated with the high compounds and a garden separating from one another.

After driving for a few seconds, Kyra and Sawyer stopped at house number 12 which Kyra bought for herself. Just like every house in the society she was welcomed by a circular driveway with greenery on either side.

The night lights are glowing warmly, bringing a cozy, peaceful feeling.

Sawyer stopped at the front door and informed her, "Miss, you can go inside. As you asked, we only allowed Aunt Eve to stay overnight. The house cleaning staff and gardener will do their work while you are at hospital and will leave before you arrive"

"Thanks Sawyer." Kyra thanked him. He will be leaving in two days to return back to his work and she will be all by herself from then.

With a smile plastered to her face, Kyra entered the double doors. What welcomed her is the minimalist, white and grey interiors with floor to ceiling glass walls. There is also the wood touches here and there, making the interior more classy. This is just like Kyra wanted her house to be.

'It would have been perfect if mom, dad and my brothers were here' she thought as she subconsciously walked to the back door which took her to the outdoors. With the wooden floor, on the left end there was a lounge with a fire pit in the middle. On the right end, there was an outdoor dining table that could easily fit twelve people.

In between these ends, there was a swimming pool.

Kyra looked around and then she took steps that took her to the lawn.

She had a gazebo constructed there especially, so she could sit there and paint, play violin. It is a special place for her in this whole house.

As she took the turn that takes her to her special place, she was flabbergasted that she covered her mouth with her palm.

Tears brimmed in her eyes.
