"I will be going now." Oliver turned around and told his fellow doctors and scientists.
"But we decided to go through another research paper. The research institute from Japan has just sent the copy." Jennifer said.
"Let's go through it later. Why don't you guys read it first? I will read it tonight if possible." Oliver said.
Jennifer could only nod her head and after that, Oliver left.
He should have stayed for a few more hours but he has to stop at the hospital for a few documents and he has agreed to visit an important patient to read his charts and suggest surgery.
By the time he finishes it, he will have enough time to get ready for the event and leave.
----------
Jennifer couldn't focus on her work as her mind is filled with thoughts about Oliver and his girlfriend.
She didn't like how Oliver's focus is being shifted towards his girlfriend instead of his sister's treatment.
His sister Luna is her friend from diapers time so, she couldn't bear to see her getting neglected by Oliver, the most important person for Luna.
'What is that event and why did Oliver leave this early? Is he planning to attend it?' she thought inside.
She tried to distract herself from her thoughts but she couldn't. At least, she could only contact Oliver's assistant nd directly ask for information.
Oliver's new assurance was once his sister Luna's assistant so, she knows who Jennifer is. That is why she didn't dare to denybthe request.
' A bussiness event?' Jennifer whispered to herself after she got text from Oliver's assistant.
LK groups.
Venue : Regal palace.
Timings : 6pm to 9pm.
Only the people with invitation are allowed.
'It looks like Oliver's girlfriend is related to this company. She is going to be there and Oliver to keep her company.' Jennifer came up with her theory.
Right or not, one thing is for sure.
Olivets mysterious girlfriend going to be there.
'A perfect opportunity to break Oliver's secrecy.' Jennifer thought and gave a call to her brother.
Her brother is just like Kyra's brothers. Protective and loving towards his sister.
"Is anything wrong, princess?" Her brother asked the very moment he answered the call.
"I am fine, bro. Bro… I want one favour" Jennifer asked, acting cute. Her voice would instantly melt her brother's heart.
"What is it, dear sis. Tell this brother what you want and I will get it for you." her brother, totally melted by her cuteness said.
Jennifer smiled.
"There is one bussiness party at 6 this evening in the Regal palace. I want to attend it. Can you find a way to send me inside?" Jennifer asked.
Her brother didn't say anything for a few seconds. He is surprised his sister is interested in the bussiness now.
When their father begged her to take the family bussiness, she denied outright. He didn't expect her to develop interest now.
As if Jennifer could read what is going on in her brother's mind, she stopped those thoughts with her next words.
"I am not interested. My decision has not changed and will never change. I am doing this for my best friend Luna. She is currently completing with this company on some contract."
"I want to go and take a look."
Her brother sighed.
It seems like his sister is not willing to divide this burden. Anyway, it is fine as she is doing something she likes.
"I got an invite, sis. I will be going you can come as my female partner." her brother said.
"Thank you, bro. You are the best. Pick me up at 5 from my apartment." with that Jennifer ended the call and she left the institute too.
After coming back from Australia, she hasn't attended any public event. As this is after one year, one long year, she wants to look pretty.
There are some petty socialites who always wants to make fun of her. And, Jennifer never gave them a chance to do so.

After Kyra and Lisa finished tgeir shopping they went to Sofia's apartment.
Coincidentally, Oliver was waiting for the elevator.
"Oliver?" Lisa greeted in surprise. She doesn't know he live here.
No one told her that.
"He lives here, Lisa. A floor above Sofia's Apartment." Kyra said as she smiled at Oliver.
"Done with shopping?' Oliver asked, caressing Kyra's head.
"Yes. As low key as possible." Kyra said and she snuggled in his embrace when he hugged her with his one arm.
"I am attending too. I got invitation." Oliver said.
Kyra raised her head and looked at him. Oliver could see the srnse of relief in her eyes. So, he is right.
Kyra is tensed about this event. He could tell that it is not company related but purely personal. That is why he is worried as well.
"I am glad you are coming." Kyra said, wrapping both her arms around his waist, seeking his warmth comfort.
"If anything is wrong, just text me, okay? I will be by your side in no time." Oliver said, kissing her forehead.
Lisa looked at their interaction and apart from feeling genuinely happy for her best friend, she felt annoyed too. PDA!!
They are giving her a lot of dog food just by these simple interactions. The emotions they are sharing, the look in their face and that genuine smile on their lips is enough to make others feel their affection.
*Cough*...*Cough*.
"Guys, I am here too." Lisa said but to her frustration, Oliver and Kyra ignored her continued to hug.
They only parted when Kyra and Lisas's floor has come. Oliver, like a gentleman which he is, walked Kyra and her friend to their door.
"Meet you at party, Ky." Oliver said and pecked her lips.
Kyra was little off guard as she is new to the kissing on lips part. He did it so casually that, she didn't expect it.
"With a nod at Lisa, Oliver returned to the elevator.
------
Kyra and Lisa dressed up in simple cocktail dresses and their accessories were simple as well.
They are from well known brands itself but not limited or luxury ones.
"The party is bustling," Lisa said as they sat at one corner.
Many well known bussiness magnets have came and the other powerful people from London have also come, which didn't surprise Kyra.
These people are either sent by her brothers or, they are people who were once client's of LK company.
"Some might have came to see if the LK's influence and connections are really like what they heard. And some others are here to butter up the people who came from London and the others are here to show their interest in colloborationg with us." Kyra said.
"By the time they leave, they will go with a good impression on our company. That is what it matters." Lisa said.
"We need to analyse these people too. Are Hayley, Taylor and Tayler are working according to our plan?" Kyra asked.
"They texted just now. They are already doing that." Lisa said.
When Kyra didn't answer, Lisa turned to look at Kyra and noticed that Kyra is looking elsewhere.
When she followed, Kyra's line of sight, she could only sigh.
It's Oliver.
He came alone without any female partner. Right now, he is looking at Kyra as well.
They are in their own world.
'These both are really in love! Argh! As much as I want to see my friend happy, I can't bear this PDA.' Lisa thought.
She moved her chair in such a way that she is obstructing Kyra's view.
"What the-" Kyra was about to curse but stopped when Lisa flared at her.
"You both can have your quality time later, Ky. For now, control yourself, okay?" Lisa asked.
Kyra could only nod her head.
She was about to focus on their plan but she got distracted sgain when she noticed that girls aroubd her are looking at Oliver, infatuated.
"See them." Kyra said, possesiveness evident in her voice.
"Your boyfriend has lot of fans, dear friend." Lisa chuckled.
"Jennifer came as well." Kyra heard another girl say to her friend and when Kyra looked at Oliver, Jennifer and another man are sitting beside Oliver.
Jennifer and Oliver and talking and Oliver just smiled.
"Oliver smiled! I actually heard that Jennifer will be engaged to Oliver. It seems like it is true." the another girl said.
Lisa looked at Kyra, however, Kyra didn't look tgat disturbed.
"You know?" Lisa asked.
"Oliver explained." Kyra whispered.
----
"Where is your girlfriend?" Jennifer asked as soon as she sat down.
"You came here all the way just to see my girlfriend?" Oliver asked, amused.
"Of course! You are hiding her as if she is a precious diamond about to be snatched away" Jennifer said.
"She is more than a precious diamond to me." Oliver said with a smile. This is very rare for him to smile in public but thinking about Kyra, he couldn't smile.
"God! You are so in love!! You should see your face" Jennifer snorted.
"She is worth it.." Oliver said with another smile and took a glance at Kyra who is talking to Lisa.
