Chapter 146 - His Proposal Went Overboard.

"Dr. Miller is already here?" Kyra asked Ron. 

"He hasn't arrived yet. I felt like you needed some help so I phoned Dr. Miller and told him about the situation. He asked to give this excuse and bring you out." Ron answered. 

"So you know about us?" Kyra asked. 

"I figured out most of the part and Dr. Miller confirmed it last night." Ron answered. 

"Oh." Kyra didn't know how else to reply. 

"Who are you, Ria? What is your real name and who are you exactly?" he asked. 

Kyra looked at him and after a few seconds she looked away. 

"My real name is Kyra. Kyra Collins."  she answered. 

"Collins? You mean the Collins family based in London?" he incredulously asked. 

"Yes." Kyra answered with a smile. 

Ron almost dropped his jaws when he got her affirmation. 

Collins in London?

They are an aristocratic family who have their roots in military as well as politics. With each new generation, they started spreading their wings. Now, they are well known in the medicine and health care sector, business sector like automobiles, biotechnology, construction, technology etc. 

They are also into other service sectors and have educational industries, law firms, telecommunication, transport, finance, media and what not? They are also into entertainment as well.

They are basically ruling the business sector. 

There are branch families each having their dominance in their own sector. And, here comes the main family. The current elder is Charles Collins, the famous neurosurgeon who is more into research and innovation right now. 

As he is busy with his stuff, his wife, Catherine Collins, the top psychiatrist, is taking care of the Collins Medical Center and the branches of it. She is into politics as her maiden family is mainly into it. 

Their five sons, The first one is a military officer. His life and work are a mystery to many. 

The second son is the CEO who was an entrepreneur and then he inherited most of the family business. 

Their third son is a lawyer who is the owner of the law firm, the first person of the Collins family to enter into the law business. For now, it is going very well and he is expanding his wings internationally. He is to inherit the educational and finance business of their family. 

The fourth son is an internationally renowned actor and singer. There are rumors that he has upgraded their family entertainment industry into his own entertainment company which consists of broadcasting, media, showbiz, music and video games.

The fifth son is the gold medal winner in olympics straight three times and has many other medals, trophies and titles. He is devoted to tennis and is not into anything else. But there are chances he might start his own business soon in the sports and restaurant industries. As food and tennis are the ones he loves the most. 

And there is a hot rumor that there is a sixth sibling as well. A girl. It is said that she is guarded well and prefers to be low key. But there are gossips that she is as overachieving as her family. But her career is not yet revealed. 

A few people believe that she followed her fourth brother and became a model and actor. Some others believe that she followed her second brother and started not one but many businesses. A few others believe that she found her own path and is an artist, a famous one in that too. However, most of them believe that she followed her father and became a doctor. 

Her whereabouts are unknown but it is confirmed that everyone dotes on her and pampers her crazily. So, most of the envious people say that she is nothing but a spoiled, rich brat who is living on her family's wealth. 

"So, you are the rumored daughter of the Collins family?" Ron asked. 

"Yes." Kyra said with a laugh. Everyone calls her rumored daughter only as most of the people don't know about her existence. 

"Can I ask you one thing, if you don't mind?" Ron asked, excited and curious. 

"Sure. But I will answer those questions only if I am comfortable with it." Kyra responded. 

"I won't make you uncomfortable, don't worry." Ron said, chuckling as he brushed his hair. 

"First question, you are in a disguise, right? I heard that Collin's only daughter is so beautiful and breathtaking." Ron asked. 

"Does that mean, I am not looking beautiful now?" Kyra asked. 

"It's not like that. I mean…" Ron didn't know how to answer. 

Kyra laughed. "I am just teasing. I only wear specs and baggy clothes. A little makeup to fit into nerd criteria." she said. 

"Second question. You are inspired by which family member of yours when it comes to your career? Excluding your father, Dr. Collins of course."  Ron asked. 

Kyra chuckled. 

"All of them have a great impact on me. You can find their traces in my career life for sure and I am inspired by all of them. But I have my own style." she answered. 

"Last question. Why did you come here if you are already working at your family's hospital? Why come so far?" Ron asked. 

"I have my reasons. One of the reasons is, I needed change." Kyra said. 

"You graduated from Oxford, right?" he asked. 

"Yes. Anymore curiosity?" Kyra asked, laughing. 

"No..no. But it's great knowing the real you." Ron said. 

"Just don't tell others, okay?" Kyra asked. 

"I promise, I won't" he promised.

Just then, Kyra's phone started to buzz and when Kyra fished out her phone, she noticed that it's Oliver. 

"You still have his number feeded as Dr. Miller?" Ron asked. 

"Shouldn't it be a baby, honey, darling or at least, a boyfriend with hearts following that?" he teased. 

"I would have but I don't want to get caught by my brothers." Kyra said. 

"Is it true that you are friends with supermodel Sophia?" Ron asked. 

"How many questions do you have?" Kyra laughed. 

"Yes. She is." Kyra added. Ron is a good person and she believes that he won't tell others. Oliver trusts him, so she does that too. 

"Can I get her autograph? I am a big fan of hers." Ron asked, excitedly. 

"I will get you one next week." Kyra said. 

Then, she walked away.

Oliver asked her to visit him once. 

—-------------

"I heard that my girlfriend proposed many times in a span of two days." Oliver said, hugging her from behind as soon as she entered. 

"Your intel is strong." Kyra agreed. 

"It looks like I have many competitors." he said, kissing the side of her face. 

"I don't think so. No need to get jealous you know" Kyra teased as she turned around and hugged him before leaning on his chest to hear his heartbeat. 

"Me? Jealous?" Oliver asked, kissing the top of her head. 

"Are you not? Is it that tough to accept the truth?" Kyra asked. 

"I am jealous. Someone is calling my girlfriend his fiancee. How can I not be bothered?" Oliver asked, looking into her golden hazel eyes. 

Kyra tiptoed and kissed his forehead. 

"It's just words. What matters is what we think of that person in our heart."

"When it comes to me, I have only you in my heart. Matthew is just a friend but it is difficult for him to accept it. That's why he keeps on proposing assuming that I might agree one or other time." Kyra said. 

"Assume that you didn't meet me here. Would you have accepted him?" Oliver asked, leading her to the couch. He made breakfast for feeling like she might want it. And, he is right. She didn't eat nor drink coffee.

"Maybe." Kyra answered. 

"Maybe?!!" Oliver exclaimed. He hates Matthew. What can he do? 

"I can't stay single for my whole life, right? My parents would like to play with their grandchildren and see me settle with my own family." Kyra said, digging up into the breakfast. 

"Grandchildren? We can give them." Oliver said, smiling mischievously. 

"Shameless!" Kyra exclaimed and gave him a little smack on his arm. 

"So, you are serious about what you said. If you hadn't shifted to this hospital and didn't meet me, would you have really married Matthew?" Oliver asked. 

"His proposals went overboard a few months back. So, I told him that if both of us were single after three years, we could get married. At that time. I didn't believe in love, so it didn't matter much when I decided that. All I want is to make my parents happy and not worry about me." yra said. 

"Does your promise stand even now?" Oliver asked as he mixed her salad. 

"Yes. I have to tell him about our relationship if I want to break the promise I gave and if he finds out about us, I don't know how he would react. I don't want him to pester you." Kyra said, leaning on his shoulder.

"But he will continue to pester you. I don't think you can escape it every time." Oliver said.

"He will leave in a few days. I really don't want our relationship to be disclosed before we could make a plan to convince my brothers and family.." Kyra said.
