Chapter 41_ Thank you
Kyle kicked the door to his office open and stepped in hastily closely followed by his assistant Tim..
He kicked a shelf containing some books and files and most of it fell off as a result of the force..
Tim swallowed hard, he could already predict his fate, this was one of the situations he hated the most..
Whenever his boss was upset, he ends up getting all the anger..
“Boss.. maybe we can ask ma’am about it, she might agree to it” Tim choked out..
Kyle turned to him swiftly with a deadly glare “Come again!”
Tim bowed his head without uttering a word anymore..
Kyle tugged his tie and released a long deep sigh, his phone on his desk rang out..
Tim walked to the table and picked up the phone and handed it to Kyle..
Kyle hesitated for a while and accepted the call “What is it?” he uttered in an irritated tone
He heard a chuckle from the other end “Easy now son! I heard from the financial department that we are gonna lose a lot of money on the project given to you by your grandfather”
Kyle pinched the space between his brows in anger, he had expected his uncle’s call but this was sooner than he had expected..
“Yes! we are gonna lose a lot of money, so what are you happy about?! as far as I know you were given the task to handle every financial aspect of this project”
Dennis adjusted on his seat, what was his step nephew trying to say?
“What do you mean by that?!”
“Why don’t you think about it!” Kyle barked and tossed his phone aside..
Tim followed the line of direction and watched it break apart on the hard floor..
“Boss what are we going to do?”
Kyle placed both hands on his waist “I need to think things through.. close the door on your way out”
Tim bowed and exited the room, he was glad that he won’t have to bear the torture of staying with his boss alone..
Kyle turned back to the closed door and arched a brow, something wasn’t right here..

Arya took in a deep breath and closed Charlotte’s journal in a haste, she turned to look behind her and found no one around..
Chloe touched Arya’s lap “I’ve told you Arya there’s no one around.. quit worrying yourself”
Arya still wasn’t convinced, she sprang up to her feet and Chloe stood up also..
“Let’s go Chloe, I’m not feeling so good”
“Hmm let’s go”
Later that night….
Arya tucked Ray into bed and planted a kiss on his head softly..
“Go to sleep Ray..”
“Daddy isn’t back yet..”
Arya stroked his hair gently “I’m sure he must be busy.. he’ll come back once he’s done okay?”
Ray nodded and closed his eyes, soon after he heard the door sound which meant Arya was gone..
He got up from his bed and walked to the window where he heard a little knock..
He chuckled and opened it for his aunt to come in, he could see the displeasure written on her face..
Mia landed softly on the floor and pulled Ray with her to the bed..
“You could have come in through the door aunt mia”
Mia shook her head slowly “I didn’t want your mum to see me here so late”
Ray looked up to her with glee “Okay.. what is our next move?”
Meanwhile…..
Arya tried to reach Kyle’s line once more but it wasn’t reachable, he has never stayed out so late before..
It was already past ten and he still wasn’t back..
“Could he be in trouble?”
Few minutes later, she heard clicking sounds approaching the living room and she swiftly turned to the direction..
Her brows drew together when she spotted Vanessa walking in with Kyle who staggered like he was drunk..
She dropped her phone on the sofa and hurried to them, she shoved Vanessa aside and placed Kyle’s arm over her shoulder..
“Hey! what was that for?” Vanessa lashed out and walked around to Kyle’s right side..
Arya played deaf and dumb to her question as they slowly led him up the stairs..
“Be careful don’t let him fall” Vanessa came again at Arya.
Vanessa folded her arm as she watched Arya pull off Kyle’s shoes before tucking him into bed..
“Well?” Arya corked a brow at Vanessa who was still standing in the room..
Vanessa gnashed her teeth in annoyance “what do you think you’re doing in Kyle’s room? do you think he’ll be happy when he finds out tomorrow?”
Arya smiled and stared back at Kyle’s sleeping face, she traced the contours of his face with her finger “This is our room and a third party is strictly forbidden to come in”
Arya walked around the bed to Vanessa, she grabbed Vanessa’s hand and led her out of the room..
“Hey let me go!”
Arya released her grip on Vanessa and closed the door behind her..
“You’ve helped a lot today but I think it’s late already, I’ll take it from. here”
Vanessa’s hands fisted by her side, only she knew how hard she wanted to strangle Arya..
“You can’t tell me what to do Arya.. before you came along I was the one who took care of Kyle and I also pass the night here”
Arya folded her arm and nodded in understanding..
“Hmm.. but guess what Vanessa.. he now has me to look after him.. please leave I don’t fancy other ladies around my husband”
Vanessa stomped her feet on the ground and pointed her index finger at Arya..
“Don’t you dare address him as your husband! okay?! you share no relationship with Kyle!”
Arya smacked her lips and chuckled hard “So what should I address him as? honey? sweetie? or babe? decide for me”
Vanessa breathed heavily in anger when a smirk crawled up on Arya’s face..
“You know? everything Kyle has been going through lately is all related to you! you’re a bad omen!”
“You know what? get out of my house! I’m done with your nonsense!”
Vanessa threw her gaze to the other side with a smirk..
“I’d like to see you try”
Arya took that as a challenge “Guards!”
Immediately two guards strode in and stood next to Arya..
“Help me show miss Vanessa the way out of here” Arya said with a smile..
The guards turned to Vanessa to carry out their ma’am’s order..
“I’ll leave myself!” she lashed out avoiding their touch..
“And never come back!” Arya added.

Arya placed her cup of tea down on the table when she saw Kyle move on the bed..
“You’re awake?”
Kyle snapped his gaze to the direction of the voice..
“You?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Arya had a confused look on her face, she handed him a bowl..
Kyle looked down at the bowl and reluctantly accepted it this time..
“It’s for your hangover.. you looked pretty wasted last night”
Kyle stared at her in suspicion, he doubted that she’ll be able to do this at her own will..
“Why are you suddenly acting so nice?”
Arya collected the bowl from him after he took a sip out of it..
“I owe you a big thank you Mr Anderson.. you know? you helped me and…
Kyle raised his hand on air to stop her from speaking..
“Don’t be mistaken Arya.. I never did this for you, all I ever did was for Ray because I know how attached he is to you”
Arya hummed and walked away from the bed, she opened the closet going through it..
“Well have you ever thought about how your harsh words could have a negative impact on me? so the nicer you are to me.. the happier your son Ray will be”
Kyle came down slowly from the bed with his hand at the back of his head..
“Are you threatening me?”
Arya turned to him with a pink mini skirt on a hanger “Did I?”
Kyle breathed out and shoved her aside from the closet..
“I hope you’re not trying to get my attention by doing all these? because it won’t work”
Arya chuckled “Well i wasn’t trying to get your attention Mr Anderson, I’m actually being very nice to you because you helped me… or probably did it for Ray..
“But the fact still remains that it benefitted me in a way.. so from today onwards I promise to hate you less.. now how does that sound to you?”
Kyle turned to her and folded his arm “How did you find me last night?”
“Oh Vanessa did… she brought you home”
Kyle snorted in disdain, “I’m sure you made it an issue”
