Chapter 52 - Mr. Miller Is More Considering And Caring Towards You Than Me.

It was around eight pm when Oliver arrived at Kyra's house.

He initially planned to arrive at Kyra's house by seven, however, his grandfather made him run some errands and he just became free.

As soon as Oliver arrived, security people called to Kyra's house to confirm whether he is the expected guest or not.

Sofia was the one who answered that call and she gave confirmation to security people.

"Hello Mr. Miller.", she greeted as she invited him inside the house.

"Ms. Richard," he greeted politely.

"Kyra is in the garden house. I will lead the way", Sofia said. Kyra waited till past the seven but Oliver didn't come, so she thought he had cancelled his plan. As he already had a tough, long day, she decided not to disturb him by calling him.

Oliver nodded his head and followed Sofia outside.

Ryan, Kyra's fourth brother, was sitting on the couch near the fire pit, working on his laptop. He smiled and gave a friendly nod to Oliver before continuing with his meeting.

Meanwhile, Oliver looked around. The swimming pool, the outdoor dining area, the fire pit and lounge, the huge garden with a garden house at its end corner. The compound is huge and filled with greenery and white, warm garden lights.

As they walked towards the garden house, Sofia said, "I will prepare quick snacks for you both, Mr. Miller. Please feel at home.", she politely said and she couldn't but chuckle silently when she noticed his reaction.

He is not even in a position to answer her as he is busy looking at the sight in front of him.

Kyra was in the garden patio sitting on a stool. There was a huge canvas in front of her, hanging on the wooden canvas board and she was busy painting on her canvas.

She is wearing an oversized sweatshirt and night shorts which are barely visible under her sweatshirt. She has her long, lustrous blond hair tied in a messy bun and the specs were resting on her nose bridge.

She looked beautiful and serious at the same time that it made her look extremely sexy and alluring.

Sofia looked at Oliver and could only shake her head with a smile on her face. She could tell that even Oliver is interested in Kyra.

'These both! Without external push, it looks like they won't confess to each other' she thought and walked towards the house.

Meanwhile, Oliver kept staring at Kyra who is immersed in painting. She couldn't finish this painting for very long as she couldn't find proper inspiration and motivation to put her soul into it. It was lying in her collection, incomplete from months and today, especially after the last night, she at last, found motivation to finish it.

Though it might take a few days to finish it, she at least knows how to finish it.

Oliver lost track of time as he fixed his focus on Kyra. His eyes followed her hand movements, her touch so delicate and cautious on canvas. Once in a while, his eyes shifted to her face, observing and appreciating her unrivalling focus and unparalleled beauty.

Kyra was the first one to notice. She was painting for almost a half an hour and she stopped as she had to rest now. As a doctor herself, she knows that she knows that she shouldn't overexert herself.

She smiled in content, happy with her work.

"Enough for today, Kura. You did a great job, thanks to Oli-", she stopped midway when she saw Oliver standing a few feet away from her.

"Oliver," she gasped in surprise. She didn't expect him to keep his word as he had a long, tiring day today. She thought he would have gone back to rest as he hadn't had a good night's sleep last night.

"You are great at painting, Kyra. No wonder," he said, approaching her with a smile on his lips.

"It's my passion and a childhood dream.", she said, following his eyesight to her painting which is in progress.

"You really have good control over your hand moments. You are bound to become a great painter as well as a gifted surgeon," he told her, examining the painting.

"You are flattering me again.", Kyra said with a smile.

"I mean it.", Oliver answered with a warm smile.

"How are you, by the way?", he asked while Kyra led the way to the garden patio connected to this small garden house. As it was lit with outdoor, garden lanterns and candles, it looked cozy and romantic.

"I am feeling a lot better after a proper sleep.", she answered, as she sat down across from him on the couch.

"I have officially allowed a one week holiday for you. Rest well, okay?", he said with a doting smile.

Kyra nodded her head, looking at him with warmth filled eyes. She was about to ask him for a week's holiday but he already did that for her. He is doing all these sweet things for her even before she could mention them.

How could she not feel touched by it??

"Thanks.", she thanked him and shivered a little as it was cold and she was only wearing shorts.

Oliver noticed her discomfort and looked around. He found a blanket lying on the recliner and he handed it to her so she could cover her legs with it.

Exactly at that same time, Sofia came with two cups of hot chocolate and a plate filled with different fruits.

"I was about to get you a blanket, Ky. Seems like Mr. Miller is more considering and caring towards you than me," she said in a half serious and teasing voice.

Kyra is tempted to roll her eyes and kick her friend away but control that temptation. She has a reputation to protect, especially in front of Oliver.

Oliver smiled in response, not knowing how else to reply to Sofia. But he felt content listening to her praising his actions towards Kyra.

"Kyra speaks so highly of you, Mr. Miller. She simply can't stop talking about it and it is really a great honor to have you here. Please visit often. My Kyra will be happy", Sofia said, giving a flashing smile at Oliver.

Kyra could only slap her forehead with her imaginary hand. This friend of hers is really shameless and sometimes embarrassing enough.

"Sofi, my brother is calling for you", Kyra said, signalling Sofia to shut her mouth and go away.

But Sofi didn't cave in when Kyra pointed to her phone, indicating that she would send some pictures to the media and make her life exhausting at least for a week, so Sofia gave up. This girl here will really do it if she gets angry!!
