Chapter 148 - Luna Is Back.

"He would have got suspicious." Kyra whispered as soon as they walked into the room. 

Oliver hummed in response but locked her in between him and the wall and started to kiss her. 

"Wh..what are you doing, Oliver??!!" Kyra exclaimed. 

"Finishing what we couldn't complete yesterday night." Kyra said. 

"We didn't meet yesterday night." Kyra whispered, her breath already erratic because of Oliver's long kisses. 

"You might not remember but you tried to seduce me yesterday night when I came to check on your uncle." Oliver said with a teasing smile. 

"What??!" Kyra asked, horrified. What if her uncle saw them?

"You asked for a kiss. You said my kiss would end your pain." Oliver said, kissing her neck. 

"I did what?", Kyra asked, frightened. 

"You asked for a kiss and when I gave it to you, you hugged my arm and slept." Oliver said. 

"So, you want to finish what? Let me sleep or hug you?" Kyra asked, raising her eyebrow. 

Oliver looked at her, amused. She was frightened and anxious and just a few seconds before and now, she is trying to provoke him. 

"I want to finish kissing you." Oliver said, closing in to kiss her. 

"Haven't you done it already?" Kyra asked. 

Before Oliver could say anything, they heard the door open and Kyra pushed him away. She sprinted out and just at that time Matthew entered. 

"Ky, you are here too?" he asked. 

"I just came." Kyra said. 

"There is something I need to talk to you about." Matthew said. 

"What is it," Kyra asked, alarmed. He better not propose to her again. 

"Don't worry. I am not asking you to marry me again. It's serious this time." he told as he gave her his signature, mischievous smile.

However, before he could say anything more, Oliver came out with a tray in his hand. It has an injection on it. 

"Dr. Miller?" Matthew said. He didn't expect to see this annoying face here. 

He then looked at Kyra who looked a little flushed and her eyes were a little misty. She was looking alluring but his main concern was, 'why is she with Oliver in that small room?' 

"Why are you here?" Matthew asked. 

"I am your father's doctor, Mr. Richards. I came to check on him" Oliver answered as he walked to the patient, who is Matthew's father. 

"Giving the medicines is supposed to be a nurse's work, right? I didn't know that the great Dr. Miller has become a nurse." Matthew commented. 

"Matthew!!!" Kyra shouted. 

"What? I told the truth!" Matthew said. 

"I asked Dr. Miller, to take care of uncle's things personally. I didn't want to risk the chance of attack again. Don't talk without learning what is happening." Kyra scolded. Her voice was so cold that it made Matthew feel the chill. 

"You should be thanking Dr. Miller instead of looking down at him like this. He has such a busy schedule yet he has come, respecting my words. You should apologize to him right now!" Kyra said. 

"I won't apologize. I spoke what I know as a fact. Isn't it like this, nurses take care of basic things and doctors monitor it." Matthew retaliated. He would do whatever Kyra asked except this thing. He would never apologize to Oliver! Never!!

"That's exactly why you should apologize." Kyra made her point. 

"I." Matthew was about to say something but Oliver interjected. 

"It's fine, Dr. Lopez. And, Mr. Richards morning medicines are monitored. I will visit him in the evening." saying so, Oliver gave a polite nod to Kyra's uncle, Mr. Richard then left. 

Kyra pursed her lips and waited for Oliver to leave and then she looked at Matthew. "You are so childish and unreasonable sometimes!" he chided him 

"I hate him, Ky. You can ask me anything but apologize to him, okay?" Matthew said in a gentle tone, trying to cool down Kyra. 

"Why do you hate him so much? Everytime you cross paths with him, all I can see is hostility and tension between you both." Kyra said. 

"I hate him and that is it. I don't want to talk about it." Matthew said and stomped out of the room. 

"They were friends before. You know that Dr. Olive Miller and my nephew, Dr. Daniel Richards are best friends right? Matthew was close to Oliver but something happened and they started to hate each other." Matthew's father, uncle Richard said. 

Kyra listened to him attentively and she could do nothing but nod her head. She decided to ask Oliver later. 

"Uncle, I have something to ask you." Kyra said. 

"What is it, child?" her uncle asked, giving her a tender smile. 

"Yesterday, when I was held captive by the attacker, he got distracted after seeing my face and listening to my voice." Kyra said. 

Her uncle looked at her surprised. He didn't speak anything for a few seconds and then he sighed and averted his eyes. 

"What happened, uncle?" Kyra asked. 

"Nothing dear. I am thinking." he said. 

"Even you don't know the reason, uncle? Is there anything I don't know about? The way he looked at me… he was genuinely surprised."

"For someone as professional and dangerous as him, how could he get distracted by a hostage?" Kyra asked. 

"Maybe you were so beautiful that he got distracted, " her uncle tried to crack a joke. 

"Uncle, I am serious! He is an assassin who came to kill you. A professional hit man." Kyra said. 

"He won't fall for something as trivial as beauty, emotions and feelings. It… it is as if he knows me." Kyra said. The horror in her eyes is obvious. 

"Princess… princess, you are overthinking. Let me investigate that matter, okay? He is taken to the headquarters and they will start interrogating him soon. I will ask Matthew to add this point as well." 

"Now, go back to work. This is not Collins Hospitals and your higher ups will get mad if you attend personal things." he said. 

Kyra wanted to say something but she decided not to press on this topic. Maybe her uncle really doesn't know and he himself is clueless and worried. 

--------

After Kyra went away, Mr. Richards called someone. 

"Yes, Arthur." a man's voice came from the other side. 

"Kyra asked me about that assassin who attacked her. She got suspicious of why he got distracted after looking at her. Any updates?" Arthur Richards, Kyra's uncle asked. 

"She noticed it?" the man from the other side asked. 

"Of course she did. I told you that it's matter of time before she starts to see the traces." Arthur told that man. 

"Yes. Anyway, we found out that he is not from the gang you and Matthew are chasing." The man said. 

"As expected. That assassin was too professional enough to be from that gang. He came as a surprise to us." Arthur Richards said. 

"And, did you investigate who he is and why he is after me? Why did he find Kyra familiar? Is he… is he from-" before Arthur can ask, the man from the other side interjected. 

"He escaped, Arthur."

"He escaped right under our nose and he left chaos on his way out. Two guards are dead and five others are severely injured."

"We are searching for him but he vanished into thin air. And, I think your guess is right." The man said. 

"If my guess is right, why is he after me instead of Kyra? And, he looked genuinely surprised to see her there. It is as if he didn't expect to see her there." Arthur said. 

"We are not aware of the major prices of this puzzle, Arthur. He might be familiar with Kyra and he might not be. Or, he would have found her familiar only after seeing her here." the man tried to reason with Kyra's uncle. 

"Try to track him down and when you do so, don't leave him till you squeeze out all the information from him." Arthur said. 

"We are trying our best. The most important thing is don't let Collins' family know about this. It will be problematic." the man warned. 

"Why would I tell them and make it more complicated?" Arthur said and sighed. 

"And, there is another thing." Arthur said. 

"What is it?" the man asked. 

"It looks like Kyra is dating Oliver. They are not showing off but I feel like they are." Arthur said. 

"Oliver? Him?" the man asked. 

"Yeah. Oliver Miller you know from eight years back." Arthur said. 

"I will get back to you later, Arthur. Rest well." Saying so that man cut the call.

The next day...

In London. 

"Luna, should you really go?" her friend asked. 

"I must, El." Luna answered as she packed her luggage. 

"My problem with LK groups (Kyra and Lisas's company) has not been solved. You told me you will help me till the end." Luna's friend who is Kyra's business rival said. 

"I know, El. I want to but I have more important work to do." Luna said as she moved her wheelchair into the walk in wardrobe.

"You will lose billions of dollars of collaboration if my company goes bankrupt." Her friend said. 

Luna wheeled back to face her friend. 

"My brother is more important than partnership and besides that, LK groups opened their branch in my turf. I am more powerful there." Luna said. 

"What happened to your brother?" her friend asked Luna. She always had a crush on Oliver, so she visibly became worried. 

"He seems to have gotten into a relationship. I found out just a few hours back." Luna said while she started rubbing her hands. 

"Relationship? He didn't mention it at all to you, right?" her friend asked.
