CHAPTER 239

Mariana called her to the office.

Her supervisor's attitude had gone an about-turn.

Instead of hauling Kira over the coals, she asked how Kira was doing.

Then she tried to fish for information on Kira's relationship with Paul.

The manager had come into Mariana's office first thing in the morning and asked for leave on behalf of the intern..

It made Mariana curious.

Kira had to improvise.

She said she ran into Paul at the hospital when she was there for a check-up.

The kind-hearted manager offered to apply for leave for her.

Mariana didn't look convinced, but she knew she wasn't going to get anything more out of

Kira.

So she just gave the intern some platitude about work-life balance and asked her not to overtax herself.

Kira thanked Mariana and left.

As soon as she got back to her cubicle, Lexi rolled her chair over. 'I just got a call from Revency. They want us to go over there this afternoon to discuss the brand ambassadorship deal. Says they want a status update. Kira was reluctant to go.

Revency was owned by Liam.

She'd promised Austyn not to have any further contact with the man.

'I don't think I'm feeling so well. Kira touched a hand to her forehead. 'Is it okay if you go with Vanessa this time? I'll give her my notes on the deal'

'Aw." Lexi was crestfallen. 'I was really hoping you could come with me. After all..."

She leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, 'You know their boss. That's going to make things so much easier for us."

Kira mumbled, 'I don't really know Mr Cane that well. We're barely acquaintances.

Lexi just smiled.

Kira clammed up.

She knew Lexi already formed her own opinion about the relationship between her and Liam.

The Emerald House.

A woman in a white sheath dress came out of the kitchen bearing a tray.

She'd spent almost an hour preparing breakfast.

Martin came out of his room.

'Good morning, Martin,' she said with a bright smile.

'Morning, Miss... Miss Kira, Gideon's assistant said awkwardly.
