Chapter 95 - I Like To See All The Shades Of You.

"I am really fine, Sofia.", Kyra chuckled when she heard Sofia's whisper to her fourth brother, Ryan. 

"Really?" Sofia asked for which Kyra nodded her head. 

"Then tell me what happened yesterday." Sofia questioned. 

"Sofia!" Ryan called her with a warning tone. He didn't want Sofia to disturb his sister Kyra's mood. She is happy and that is what it matters for now. 

"Yesterday, we saw Oliver with Jennifer and it led us to overthinking." Kyra said. 

"Overthinking, Ky?" Ryan frowned. 

"We did a background check for your safety!" he chided her. 

Kyra chuckled. 

"Of course I understand my dear bro. What I am telling is, Oliver is not a bad guy. We solved the misunderstanding like mature adults by communicating." Kyra said, her happiness too evident in her words. 

"What?" Sofia asked. 

When Kyra gave a confusing and frustrating look, Sofia said, "What I meant is, how did he explain himself to you?" 

"He told me that he and Jennifer grew up together, so she is like a sister to him. He even gave an analogy saying that I getting jealous over them is like Sofia getting jealous over me and Ryan." Kyra explained. 

"He treats her like nothing but a little sister." Kyra gave an explanation again. 

"The way he overreacts about that woman's periods is not anything like what you said!" Sofia said. 

"Jennifer herself said that she has some problem with her menstrual cycle. This period gave a sense of relief to her as they are getting regular again. Oliver felt relieved because she is getting better. That's it." Kyra explained. 

"What about that picture then??" Ryan asked.

"Jennifer actually liked Oliver once. She proposed but he said no to her. That was all in the past as she moved on and treats him like a friend." Kyra gave an explanation again.

She didn't get annoyed because her brother and best friend have all the rights to feel protective towards her. 

Ryan and Sofia shared a worried look. However, they decided not to bring it up right now as Kyra is really in good mood. 

They don't want to be party poopers this evening and let her enjoy what they planned for her. 

"It's good. It's really great that you guys patched up again." Sofia said, forcing the smile. 

"It calls for celebration then. So, let's continue with our usual plan." Ryan added. 

Kyra nodded her head and continued to hum her favorite song. 

---------------

After a journey of an hour or so, three of them reached the ranch. 

This ranch is special as it is more attractive at nights than the days. Filled with the glow of lights everywhere, it looks like a pool of tiny stars. 

"Ranch?" Kyra asked as they stopped the car at the parking lot. 

"Yes. We are staying overnight and you are taking the day off tomorrow." Ryan told her. 

"Day off? When did you arrange this?" Kyra asked. 

"You don't have any surgeries tomorrow, right?" Ryan asked. 

"Yes. How do you know that?" Kyra asked. 

"I was on a call with our uncle, the president of your hospital and I told him that you are in a bad mood , so he checked your schedule for tomorrow and told me that he gave you a day off." Ryan said. 

Kyra narrowed her eyes. "How many times should I tell you not to take advantage of your connections like this!!!" she said with an angry look in her eyes. 

"Hey, I am not to blame. Uncle was the one who gave you the day off. I didn't ask him to do that." Ryan escaped from his sister's scoldings. 

"I know what exactly would have happened there." Kyra said, rolling her eyes. 

This is not the first time. Ryan did this many times when she worked in the hospital in London. 

"Tonight, you get to see fireflies here. You can do horse riding, play with guns, pet all the different animals tomorrow and tonight there is a meteor shower. Here, with all this clear sky, we can see them very clearly."

"I already booked the cottage sis. Let's enjoy it, please." Ryan said. 

Kyra nodded her head. She is just feigning her anger till now and after listening to all this, she couldn't say no to that. 

"That's my favorite sis. Here, these are the keys to your cottage. Go and freshen up. Me and Sofia will wait at the main hall for you." Ryan said. 

After Kyra went to get ready, Ryan looked at Sofia. 

"What do you think?" he asked. 

"About Oliver?" Sofia asked and Ryan nodded his head. 

"I don't want to burst her happy bubble but it is still suspicious to me, Ryan. If that was someone else I wouldn't have insisted much on being cautious but it's Kyra." 

"She has this trait of believing people too soon if she starts liking them. She automatically filters the things she doesn't like to dwell deeper into and this causes her to suffer."

"So, I say that we have to investigate more about Oliver and Jennifer." Sofia finished. 

"I think the same too. We can't believe him just because of his words. Let's hide it from Kyra that we are investigating deeper into those both people." Ryan told Sofia. 

"Let's do that. It's for her own good, so even if she finds out she will not get too angry." Sofia agreed with Ryan. 

"I asked my third brother to look more into Jennifer and Oliver." Ryan told her as they walked towards the main hall from where they would be going to the bioluminescent flower garden. 

------

That night, Kyra, Sofia and Ryan had super fun. After spending time in a bioluminescent flower garden they went to have dinner in the underground cave garden event which is filled with greenery and the robots, the perfect combination. 

After dinner they rested at the cottage as they got surrounded with the fireflies. And at the time of the meteor shower they enjoyed it as they drank the beer. 

Around midnight, everyone went to sleep. 

The next day…

Kyra woke up with her phone smoothly buzzing on the table. 

Getting drunk last night, Kyra was having a hangover. 

"How the hell calls this early..huh??" Kyra huffed as she answered the call even before seeing the caller id. 

"Seems like someone got drunk...hmm." a deep voice from the other side made Kyra almost jerk. 

"Uhm..hi...Oliver", Kyra greeted as she scolded herself while holding her hair in her fist. 

" Hello to you too," Oliver said, chuckling. The way she spoke right now is so cute that he felt like seeing her now itself. 

"Sorry for..uhh.. shouting at you." She apologized. 

"Don't apologize. I like to see all shades of you." Oliver said, being open with his wooing process. 

Kyra smiled as she felt her cheeks warm up. Everytime he says these cheesy words, they always surprise her and they also make her happy because this side of him is only for her. 

Not getting any answer, Oliver chuckled. He couldn't help but imagine her sitting on her bed with her disheveled hair and night dress. 

Just that imagination alone was enough to drive him crazy to see her. It amplified when he imagined her with warm cheeks and cute expressions. 

"I called to ask if you want to go cycling with me at the park. But, it looks like you are drunk. So, I think it would be best if you get some sleep. As we don't have any surgeries to perform, take a half day off." Oliver said. He knows he is taking advantage of his authority now, but he couldn't help it. 

He doesn't want to see her get sick or suffer even a little bit. So, he could only misuse his authority. If not for Kyra, for whom can he do these? 

Kyra chuckled. Her eyes brimmed with warmth as his words touched her heart. 

The way he cared about her made her remember her selfless brothers who asked nothing but her own happiness from her. 

"I drank because I am on leave today. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to get drunk on working days. And, I am not at my house, so I can't join you for cycling as well." Kyra said. 

Oliver smiled, his eyes filled with pride when she said the first sentence. It shows her passion and sense of responsibility towards her patients. 

"Not at your house?" he asked. Just to see her in the morning, he drove across the city from one end to the other. 

"Yeah. My brother planned some sightseeing and fun activities at the ranch for me. I couldn't say no as he did this just to cheer me up." Kyra told him. 

"Sorry for making you sad with that misunderstanding. I shou-" before Oliver could finish, Kyra cut him off. 

While on the call, she climbed off from the bed and walked to open the door of the cottage. It 

"It's not your-" she stopped in the middle as she heard the deep, husky voice of a man standing at the door.
