Chapter 91 - She Knew That They Are Not....

Kyra remained quiet as her brother drove her to her work. Though he wanted to asl something, Kyra didn't give him any chance at all. 

After last night's incident, no one talked about it and it worried Ryan. His sister is not someone who takes things lightly, especially when it is something related to her emotions. So, despite knowing that she is struggling inside, he could only stand at the side and see her helplessly. 

The few minutes of drive felt as if hours have passed as he stopped at the entrance of the hospital. 

"Be safe, okay?" Ryan asked, dead worried that seeing Oliver might make her more devastated. 

When Kyra didn't respond, it only made him more worried. 

"You can take a day off, you know? I can ask our uncle to manage without you for a day.", he suggested. As the president of the hospital is the father in law of their first brother, asking favors like these are no big deal. 

"I know that you are worried but I can handle this, bro. Trust me." Kyra said, giving him an assuring smile. 

"I can't escape everything that is thrown towards me, right? You are here to help me this time but I might not be this lucky the next time. So, I decided to face everything from now on.", Kyra added to convince her brother to do something extreme. 

Ryan looked at Kyra full of pride and love. 

He nodded his head and patted her head once, before allowing her to alight the car. 

By the time Kyra got out of the car, her fellow colleagues had arrived just in time. Ron, Claire who are housemates and Jennifer who just got dropped by her driver were at the entrance and happened to see Kyra getting out of the 'lowkey' car. 

"Boyfriend?" Ron asked Claire. 

"Maybe or may not.", Claire answered.

"She got into a different car last night." Jennifer said. She remembered the car from last night because she had seen it. 

"But the person looks the same.", Claire said. Even she saw yesterday as it was hard to miss such a handsome man. 

"Why is he wearing a mask??" Ron asked. 

"Who knows? Maybe he is allergic to hospitals.", Claire shared her mind. 

"Or, he doesn't want to get caught by his real girlfriend." a voice came from their behind as Teressa walked to them. 

"Whatever it is, that's none of your business. Let's go inside before things get awkward.", Jennifer said as she caressed her waist to soothe the pain her periods are giving her. Oliver has given her a day off however, she didn't want to look irresponsible on her first week of work itself. 

Teressa was about to say something but she stopped when she saw Oliver walking to the entrance. 

"Seems like you fellows have a lot of free time. Maybe you all need more work to do.", he said, the warning obvious in his tone. 

Ron, Claire and Teressa hurried inside without any delay but Jennifer stayed behind for a monet to share eye contact with Oliver. After a second or so, she broke her eye contact and walked inside. 

Oliver stood there for another few seconds as he looked at her receding figure and sighed. He was about to go inside but got a glimpse of a familiar figure. 

'Kyra' he thought as he looked at Kyra who was standing at the car looking into her bag for something. It seems like she didn't notice his presence but Ryan did. 

His eyes are glowing with anger and when his eyes met with Oliver's, he averted with his eyes filled with hate. 

'What happened?' Oliver thought. Ryan, who always smiles warmly, glowered at him. 

Meanwhile, Kyra finished searching her bag and fished out the key card and was about to hand it to her brother but followed the line of his sight and there he was, Oliver, looking at them. 

Ryan came back to his consciousness and took the key card from his sister who is now looking at Oliver who is also looking back at his sister. 

He sighed and patted Kyra's head which made her look at him, cutting the look she was sharing with Oliver.

"I will be here by seven, okay? Sofia booked some spa after that, so I will drop you there directly and I will be coming to pick you both only after ten at night." he told her, indirectly telling her that she can't invite 'certain someone' to her house for afterwork discussion. 

Kyra nodded her head. She already saw through her brother's intentions but didn't say anything because even she felt like she deserved some spa time to relax. 

After that she turned around and Oliver was still there, trying to make eye contact. However, Kyra avoided it and walked inside. 

Confused, Oliver looked to Ryan for help but ended up getting the cold shoulder. He didn't understand why his siblings are acting strange and grumpy today. He almost got tempted to go and ask Ryan but after looking at time, he could only kill that idea and hurry inside. 

—-------------

Kyra sat down at her desk and heaved in relief. 

She felt drained mentally. 

She felt like this because she couldn't help thinking. 

"Good morning, Ria." Jennifer who just changed into her scrubs and returned to the room greeted Kyra. 

Kyra was startled for a second as she was enjoying the peace of being alone in the room. 

"Good morning?" Kyra greeted her back in surprise. Jennifer shouldn't be in the hospital as she was given a day off by Oliver. 

"Not feeling well?" Jennifer asked. 

"Just exhausted." Kyra answered. 

"Want coffee?"Jennifer asked. 

'She is friendly and outgoing. People would like her by default.' Kyra thought. 

"I just had before I came. Thank you." Kyra said with a smile. 

"I want it tho. God, my cramps are killing me." Jennifer said, slumping on her chair. 

"I have painkillers for relief if you really can't take it.", Kyra offered. 

"My gynae would kill me if I do so. I should be taking the medications she prescribed or, I shouldn't be taking none." Jennifer said. 

Kyra didn't say anything but closed her eyes, feeling the silence. 

"Hey, you have a sister?" Jennifer asked. 

"No. Why?" Kyra asked. 

"Nothing. I just felt like I saw someone who looked like you.", Jennifer answered. As she saw Kyra yesterday closely and as she is seeing Kyra now, she could tell that they are similar. 

"Maybe you saw someone who looked similar to me.", Kyra said. 

"Maybe.", Jennifer said. 

"Take a rest.", she added and left the room. 

Kyra closed her eyes but it didn't last long as she was asked to assemble in the conference hall. 

After the conference, Kyra had surgeries to attend to. As she is the main surgeon in the first one, she escaped from crossing paths with Oliver. As he is busy as well, he didn't have time to search for her. 

However, the one in the afternoon, Oliver is the main surgeon, and she and Jennifer are assisting him in it. 

"Ate lunch?" Jennifer asked as she saw Kyra coming out of the restroom. 

"I am going to.", Kyra answered briefly. Although she knows that Jennifer is not someone on whom she could channel her frustration from yesterday, Kyra couldn't help but remember the kissing picture of Oliver and Jennifer Ryan shown to her. 

"Join me. I don't have any friends to eat with and I don't like eating alone." Jennifer said, smiling friendly. 

Kyra, who always likes eating alone, felt a little frustrated but nodded her head. She can't turn her down just because she was angry. 

"Thank you." Jennifer thanked her. 

—-------------

"Can we join?"Jennifer asked Oliver who was sitting in the canteen and eating his own food. 

He like to eat alone but he wanted to try his luck in crossing paths with Kyra and who would have thought that Jennifer would actually bring her to him. 

Oliver looked at Kyra first, who is apparently trying to avoid his gaze. He didn't avert his eyes for a few seconds. 

"Dr. Miller?" Jennifer called again when he didn't answer her. 

"Yes, yes. Sure.", Oliver said. 

Kyra wanted to deny it but she couldn't do so. It would make Oliver obvious that she is avoiding him. Yes, he would find it later but she didn't want it to happen before the surgery because it would disrupt the sync cooperation during surgery. 

Meanwhile, Jennifer looked at Oliver who was stealing glances at Kyra who was not even lifting her head up and was pretending to be interested in the contents in her plate. 

'Something is definitely going on between them.' she thought. SInce the day she came, she noticed that the equation between Oliver and Kyra is different from what Oliver has with the other fellows. 

First she thought that it is purely work related but the tension between them today only gave her more clarity that there is something going on between Kyra and Oliver. 

The lunch went awkwardly silent as Kyra didn't want to talk while Jennifer was in her own world, thinking about Oliver, his girlfriend and the girl sitting beside her. 

"Dr. Lopez, can you drop by at my office before the surgery?"Oliver asked as they finished lunch. 

"What about me, Dr. Miller?" Jennifer asked. 

"You are not needed to, Dr. Smith." Oliver said and Jennifer only shrugged her shoulders. 

Kyra saw their interaction and all these things are only strengthening her opinion that there is nothing romantic between Oliver and Jennifer. 

Then what is the explanation of the picture of them kissing?
