Chapter 788: CHEAP APARTMENTMisha lifted Kia's body easily and sat her on top of Zee, while the horse stood straight to make this process easier.
"So? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Misha asked after Kia sat there and found a more comfortable position. He held Zee's reins in his right hand, while Fang's reins in his left.
"Yeah, I'm fine," said Kia, she still looked scared even though she was already on the horse. "I guess I'll be fine."
"Are you ready to start?" Misha asked again to make sure that Kia was ready. She nodded stiffly, she took a sharp breath as the horse started walking.
"Hold on here," Misha said while showing Kia where she could hold on and after that, he brought the two horses out of the stables and walked slowly, to make sure that Kia got used to it first, so it would be easier for her to catch up.
"Why don't you ride your horse?" asked Kia confusedly, because Misha actually walked on foot with two horses in his hands, wasn't that troublesome? "Aren't you tired of walking?"
Misha smiled at Kia and pushed the reins in his hand into hers, but Kia widened her eyes in surprise and immediately shook her head.
"How can I control the horse?" asked Kia directly and immediately, Misha laughed and she finally understood what that meant and why Misha chose to walk.
"Enjoy the view here, once you get used to Zee I will teach you how to control it" Misha said.
Kia's face lit up, she felt comfortable and safe, and now she could enjoy the charming mountain scenery in this place. This was the best place and not just anyone could come here.
Kia bet that the place her parents and siblings visited before wasn't as good and she felt a little childish for being happy just because of that little thing.
========================
Daniel felt a little curious because he didn't see Mr. Tordoff the last two days while there was no project that required him to be out of station or leave the office.
Only, he was nowhere to be seen, some less urgent documents had also piled up on his desk.
This was unusual, because usually he finished everything quickly.
"Oh, Mr. Tordoff is on vacation, there's a big reunion for the whole Tordoff family, so he won't be in the office until next week," Misha's secretary informed Daniel when he asked.
"Oh," Daniel muttered and shook his head when she asked if there was anything he needed more.
It was late afternoon and he would soon be going home, but before that he got a message from his uncle, Anthony, who said that he was around the area and asked him to eat together.
Daniel wasn't very close to Anthony, as he rarely got around, but the last time he was home to welcome Alia home, he made his mother cry and he wanted to have a little talk about it with him.
Daniel was very unhappy because he had made his mother cry, so he agreed to meet his uncle at a nearby restaurant.
And after office hours were over, he immediately left there and rushed to the restaurant where he and Anthony agreed to meet.
When he got there, Anthony was already waiting. He sat by a window and because his stature was easily recognized and the restaurant was not too crowded, he could approach him immediately.
The first greeting was very awkward as Daniel wasn't used to interacting with him, but after that they struck up small talk, topics that would not cause friction at all.
And in the end, after their food was served and they ate quietly and knew what each of them was doing, Anthony began to enter the main topic of his goal of inviting Daniel to eat at this restaurant.
"Do you know where your sister is now?" asked Anthony while sipping his drink.
"She is home," Daniel answered without thinking, but Anthony shook his head and he immediately knew who they were talking about or about to talk about.
"It's not Alia I mean, but your other sister, Kiandra," said Anthony, as Daniel had expected.
"What's wrong with her?" For some reason, Daniel became defensive when he heard Anthony discuss Kia. He felt that this was not the right place for his uncle to interfere.
"I already know where she lives," said Anthony in a calm voice, but his sharp eyes were fixed on Daniel with observation. "Don't you want to meet her?"
Daniel raised his head and placed the cutlery by the side of his plate while looking back at Anthony with a look in his eyes that was hard to read.
"Even though I want to meet her, I won't be able to meet her, not just anyone can get in there," said Daniel sarcastically. For some reason, he took an offensive stance because Anthony discussed Kia. He didn't like it, because deep down, even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew he and his family had messed up big time.
"What do you mean?" asked Anthony, frowning. "She's not in her apartment right now, but her roommate said she'd be back next week."
"Roommate?" Daniel was confused when he heard that. "What do you mean by roommate? Why does she need a roommate? Doesn't she live at the Tordoffs' residence?"
Daniel assumed that Kia was already staying at the Tordoffs' residence and wasn't surprised that Kia wasn't there, since Misha wasn't in the office either. He was on vacation, needless to say, Kia would go with him too, right?
However, Anthony also became confused by Daniel's statement just now. "Why do you think Kiandra lives in the Tordoff family residence?"
The crease between Daniel's brows deepened. "Because they are both in a relationship."
Anthony shook his head. He of course knew who the Tordoffs were, who didn't know that family in this town?
But…
"If she really is related to that young businessman, how come she lives in a cheap apartment like that?"
"What do you mean?"
