Chapter 730: SHE LEFT"Who is he?" Misha asked when a young man said he was here to replace Kia, his name was Anthony.
"He is the new translator, who will replace Ms. Lyrant," replied Richard.
"How did she get replaced at the last minute?" Misha looked displeased with this change. He thought he would see Kia again today and wanted to see how she would react, but she wasn't even here.
Kiandra Lyrant was just an intern who was hired because they were understaffed, but because the agency already had someone else with better competence and moreover because Kia had resigned, Anthony was automatically sent for this last meeting.
"She resigned?" Misha frowned. Why did she have to resign? This was the last meeting, so why did she have to do that? Was seeing him one last time after what happened last night too much for her?
Misha still couldn't understand why she returned all the jewelry and the car he gave her and now, instead of asking him for an explanation, she just left, disappeared without saying anything.
Even last night she didn't say anything when she saw such a sight, nor did she explain anything when returning the car.
Misha's brow furrowed. He didn't like this situation, but he also had no other choice, because the meeting was in less than thirty minutes and he couldn't ask the agency to send Kia back.
"Do you want me to find out where Ms. Lyrant is?" Richard asked carefully, when he saw how disturbed Misha was at the moment.
Only, Misha shook his head. He didn't feel the need to do that. Wasn't Kia just one of the many women who became his temporary partner?
Therefore, why did he have to trouble himself over looking for that woman?
"No need," Misha refused. He then walked toward their meeting room, with Anthony and Richard following behind him.
He was still very disturbed by Kia's unusual reaction.
=========================
"She left her apprenticeship?" Misha frowned when he heard the report given by Richard, he couldn't believe what he heard but that was what happened.
Even though two months had passed, Misha still couldn't forget how Kia looked at him coldly and she didn't say anything that night. Only now did he realize it was the last night he saw that girl.
And even though Misha tried to forget her, somehow her figure always found a way to come back to his mind.
"Yeah, she has been out of her apprenticeship for about two weeks now," replied Richard.
Misha was silent for a while, long enough for Richard to think that their conversation was over, but Misha gave him another order.
"Look for her at her college," said Misha.
He gave orders that seemed half-assed like this, because actually he was torn between wanting to forget the woman but not being able to and wanting to know all the details about the woman.
Therefore, it took him two months to give orders to Richard to look for Kia, because they were going to have a meeting and needed an interpreter, Misha instructed very clearly that he wanted Kiandra Lyrant and not Antonhy, Andy or whoever they had.
Misha only wanted the young lady specifically, but this was what he got.
"Then, what about the translator?" asked Richard. "Is there a specific person you want? Or do you want to use Anthony again?"
The question received a sharp glare from Misha and this made Richard immediately pause, even though he didn't realize where he had gone wrong.
"Cancel the meeting," Misha said sourly. He wanted to hold the meeting in hopes to see Kia again, even though he didn't want to admit it.
But, if that woman was no longer working, why did he have to spend time with those annoying people?
And after getting the information about Kia, all day long, Misha was in a bad mood, which made Richard feel like he was walking on eggshells, where the slightest noise was enough to make him get a very sharp glare from Misha and this almost made his heart fall to the floor every time he was looked at like that.
=========================
Two days later, Richard returned to Misha to share the information he requested about Kia and at that very moment, he felt he had to prepare himself mentally.
Considering how this kind of news put Misha in a bad mood for the whole day previously, he also had to prepare for it this time.
Because of course the news he brought would not be what Misha wanted.
"Ms. Lyrant has been on leave since the end of the semester, which was two weeks ago, at the same time she resigned from her apprenticeship," Richard said plainly and clearly.
There was no point in using sweet words on Misha at this point, because the fact he would not like this piece of information was undeniable.
"What? Taking time off from college?" Misha frowned, he looked at Richard very sharply.
And even though Richard had expected this to be the reaction he would receive, still, he felt depressed when he was looked at like that, as if he had just told them that three of their company buildings had caught fire.
"Yeah, it looks like it was around the same time that Ms. Lyrant resigned from her job." Richard turned his gaze to Misha's table, for it looked much friendlier than this man.
Misha then fell silent for a moment. He was feeling very annoyed now. If only he had ordered to find out about Kia earlier, maybe he could have a clue about the woman, whatever it was.
Maybe then he could have met her and maybe that time he could have seen her reaction when she saw him again.
"Find out where she lives, find out where she is now, I want details about her as soon as possible," Misha growled in annoyance.
Previously, he had only given orders bit by bit, not giving direct orders to find out all the details regarding the woman.
Therefore, Richard just did what he was told.
He knew very well that Misha didn't like anyone carrying out orders beyond what he was told.
"I want all the details about her and her family," Misha said angrily.
He then took a deep breath and tried to remember what he should do after this, but all he could think of was the figure of Kia not giving any reaction.
Why didn't she react? Why didn't she say anything? It was as if she didn't think Misha was important.
But then again, why should Misha be upset that she didn't react?
Misha rubbed his face roughly.
=============================
If Richard could do it, then he would have delegated the task to someone else, because the information he had been gathering for the past three weeks or so, was not pleasant at all.
He could even imagine the fierce face Misha would show later when he read this report. This wouldn't be good.
Ahh… he just wanted to get through the day and return home in peace…
Richard knocked on the door and then entered Misha's study, where he found Jayden there.
Jayden was the opposite of Misha, he always looked cheerful and easy to get along with, so the label 'womanizer' should suit him better than Misha.
Richard then analyzed the situation and was a little relieved that Misha seemed to be in a good mood right now, thanks to Jayden, who was now teasing him while talking about unimportant things.
However, just when Richard thought he was safe and Misha wouldn't be as angry as the last time he was here and told the news about Kia, Misha noticed him entering and his expression changed the moment he saw Richard.
"Jayden, I have something to discuss with Richard, you should go back to your office," Misha said calmly and seemed very cold.
Immediately Jayden's facial expression changed, he frowned and looked at Misha with disbelieving eyes.
"Why?" he asked in a slightly childish voice. "Did you just kick me out of your office?"
"Yes," Misha replied with brutal honesty. "Now go."
"I thought we were having a good time," Jayden protested, since he had already been kicked out of the place. It was just that Misha didn't care about all that.
"Go now," Misha said so firmly, that Jayden knew this was no accident.
Therefore, with a heavy heart, Jayden stood up and raised his hands, showing a gesture of surrender. "Alright, alright, I will be going now."
Jayden then looked at Richard with a grin. "What is this about?" he asked with a mischievous smile. "Looks like you are going to be in trouble."
Jayden was not wrong, he was right about that. He was going to get into trouble, but this was not a problem of his own making.
"Good luck then," Jayden said as he patted his shoulder and walked out of the room, leaving Richard and Misha alone.
"So, what have you got?" Misha asked after Jayden closed the door to his study.
Terrified, Richard then came forward and handed over two stacks of documents, containing all the information he had gathered over the past three weeks.
Misha looked at the two piles and then at Richard.
"So, where is she?" Misha cut straight to the point. Before he read any information about Kia's family and family background, he needed to know where the woman was.
"She already left this country one month ago."
