Chapter 32 - It Seems Like I Am Only Good With You

The news of Oliver bringing a female partner other than his sister has already caused a huge uproar.

But once they appeared in a couple outfits, it just blew the upper social circle.

Oliver Miller is not only a famous, wealthy, handsome young man but is from a powerful family that is at the top of the social hierarchy in almost everything.

The Miller family has a deep connection and origin roots in the military and they have been in the business field for decades.

Oliver is the only heir of that family and is also a successful businessman who has been managing the company from his seventeenth birthday.

To have him as a son in law is the dream of almost everyone in the circle and to their delight, he has not been in a relationship in years.

They heard of his first love but have never come across any concrete evidence to solidify that rumor.

But now, seeing some stranger with him, made them burst with anxiety and envity.

They heard his grandfather had arranged a date for him and they could only hope that the one who came with him was not that girl.

With the closeness being exhibited by Oliver towards that woman, they could tell that their dreams might burn to ashes if she is the date arranged by Chairman Miller, Oliver's grandfather.

----------

"Don't mind if some lady approaches you.", Oliver whispered to Kyra as he pulled a chair for her.

"I am used to these situations," Kyra answered with a smile as she sat on the chair.

"Your brothers I presume," Oliver asked while he pulled out the chair that was beside hers.

"Yes", Kyra answered with a chuckle. She could come up with a handful of these kinds of situations.

"They indeed had a huge girl following," Oliver responded with a short chuckle.

"I found out just yesterday that you are well acquainted with my brothers, Dr. Miller," Kyra said.

"We met coincidentally though we are in different fields" he responded simply.

It still amazes him how coincidental their meetings were. It is afterall not a small world to meet all those five men of different careers but same family in different situations.

"Yes. I was indeed surprised, sir.", Kyra said.

"Don't call me sir or Dr. Miller. As you don't want others to find out who you are, calling me Dr. Miller will give out hints that you work at the hospital. Calling me sir will make you my subordinate at work," Oliver explained.

He just wanted Kyra to have a peaceful time at work as that is what she wanted.

"I will call you Mr. Miller then," Kyra said.

Oliver nodded his head. Although he doesn't mind if she calls him Oliver, it could attract more attention as no one ever called him with his first name other than his friends and family.

While Oliver and Kyra were busy in their little chat, other women who came exclusively to meet here stared at them anxiously.

They couldn't identify the woman with him, so they could only think she was a stranger to them.

Honey blond hair, hazel eyes, exquisite features she was able to attract others attention with her charishma.

The way she carried herself, her confident postures, her social etiquette and mainly the level of comfort and proximity she had with Oliver were enough to tell that she is not some white lotus but someone close to Oliver's status and intellect.

Soon, the hospital's president, Oliver's godfather / Kyra's uncle, entered with the other couple.

They are Kyra's adopted parents.

"They are Collins. Catherine Collins and Charles Collins!!" someone whispered and the whisper soon became a talk in the crowd.

"Seems like someone leaked the information. This whole masquerade theme was for nothing" Kyra whispered after hearing the whispers.

"The main reason for the Masquerade theme is not them. They didn't want to let others know that you are living here now" Oliver said.

As the secret owner of this charity trust he got to find out the real reason why Collins requested this theme. But he didn't get to know the exact reason why, however, he could only respect the privacy of others personal information.

"Oh!"Kyra didn't know what else to say.

Oliver chuckled and then focussed on the speech his Godfather is giving. He should be giving that speech as the rightful owner but he doesn't like attention.

Meanwhile, Matthew who came with one of his business partner's daughters couldn't help but stare at them.

He of course recognized Oliver and Kyra who were whispering and chuckling. Those two faces were the one he can't even forget in his dreams.

One was the woman he loves. Other was the person he hated his whole life.

His fists tightened and he clenched his teeth looking at Kyra and Oliver. Although they are just talking and are sitting at a safe distance, the chemistry between them is too intense.

"It's Oliver that is with Kyra. Isn't he?" his sister Sofia asked, excited.

"They have chemistry. No wonder she was impacted by his charms," she giggled.

Matthew narrowed his eyes and glared at his sister.

"What the f.u.c.k, Sofia! You can't just say that in front of me!!", he gritted his teeth.

He couldn't get any more angrier as it is his sister. If it was someone else he would have yelled at them till their ears bleed.

"I am stating the fact, brother. You might need to move on as it seems like their relationship will progress," Sofia said.

"Leave about me, dear sister. Look at your man. He is talking so closely to some woman," Matthew said with a smirk.

When Sofia saw Ryan, Kyra's fourth brother flirting with some beautiful woman who was now blushing, she narrowed her eyes and glared at him but when she didn't get his attention, she turned to look at her own date, who is none other than Ryan's twin brother Ian.

"It looks like I need to keep your playboy brother in check. Excuse me,", she said, standing up but Ian pushed her back into her seat.

"Sofi, you shouldn't be giving up this soon. Let him flirt. We will show him what jealousy tastes like during the dance," he said with a smirk.

Sofia smirked. "That's my best friend. Why can't that idiotic brother of your's act matured like you," she said.

"That's because he is idiotic," Ian said and Sofia laughed. Ian laughed as well and kissed the back of her hand before giving a look at his twin brother who is now glaring at him.

Meanwhile, Matthew's date and Ryan's date exchanged glances. Who wouldn't be angry if their dates are eying the other woman?

----------

After the welcome speech, dinner was served.

Soon, one by one joined the dancing stage to dance. After an hour or so, the auction will start but for now, the classic, retro music was being played and the partners were dancing to the slow rhythm.

Kyra and Oliver joined as well. At first, Oliver felt a little awkward touching her waist but Kyra giggled.

"You were staring at it in our first meeting. No need to shy off now," she said, making Oliver lift his brow in amusement. Who knew she could be this casual after a few glasses of wine?

"She gets very casual after a few drinks. She has less alcohol tolerance," Kyra's second brother, Walter whispered to him as he was about to get on to the dancing floor.

Oliver nodded his head and before he could say anything, Walter's date, Kyra's best friend, Chloe pulled him away from them to give some privacy.

Oliver chuckled and placed his hand on Kyra's waist before walking her to the dancing door.

Once they were on the dancing floor, he placed his hand on her lower waist and took her other hand in his.

While they did it, they stared into each other's eyes and for a few seconds, the time around them froze.

Seconds felt like minutes.

Again, it felt like a deja vu to both of them.

"Guys, dance! This is not time to stare at each other!"Chloe, who was just a few inches beside them said, shaking her head.

She is aware that they both have something going on between them but didn't think they would do this in front of everyone on the dancing floor.

They caught enough attention as they were the only couple who were standing still in the middle of the dance floor.

After hearing Chloe's words, it was only when they both came out of their daze and started to dance. Surprisingly just like in the operation theatre, they are in perfect sync.

They didn't have to put in any effort at all. Their steps were as smooth as water flow and the chemistry they shared is a plus point.

"You are good at dancing!" Kyra said.

"You are good as well," Oliver said.

"I am not. It seems like I am only good with you," Kyra said.

"I need to ask you something, Ms. Lopez.. Somewhere private if you don't mind" Oliver whispered and Kyra nodded her head.
