CHAPTER 339

Why!!

A Taste Of Her Own Medicine

Thave no idea, but Master McCarthy must have given the nod. I guess he thought enough time had passed. The dust has settled."

Seeing the housekeeper in low spirits, Kira felt bad about bringing up the topic.

She put on a bright smile. 'Enough about ancient history. You were saying something about an alien professor who could use magic? That sounds fascinating. Tell me more."

'It's not magic. Elsie perked up. 'It's enhanced abilities. He can see and hear better than humans. And he can do this thing with his mind where...!!

Kira listened and nodded occasionally, though her mind was miles away.

After an hour-long brunch, Kira's appetite was fully sated, both for K-drama and for food.

'You seem to like the blueberry smoothie a lot,' Elsie said. "I can make you one for dinner if you want."

'Oh no, please don't. I'll be all hopped up on sugar if I have a smoothie for dinner. Besides, I may not be home in time for dinner. You don't need to cook for me

"What? Where are you going? I thought you didn't have to go to the office anymore."

Mariana, Kira's supervisor, had finally accepted her resignation with great reluctance. Kira was now officially unemployed.

"I have some... stuff to do, Kira said vaguely.

'Okay.' Elsie was still curious, but Kira soon changed the subject.

It was way past one o'clock when she finally made it out of the house.

Kira got on a bus headed into town, carrying a black canvas bag over one shoulder.

It was filled with paparazzi paraphernalia, on loan from Janessa.

She mused on what Elsie told her during brunch

Her heart rate spiked just listening to the story.

She couldn't imagine having to actually live through the nightmare.

Austyn was twenty-three back then, just two years older than she was right now.

Kira hugged the bag to her chest.

If Deborah hadn't passed away that year, Kira probably wouldn't be with Austyn now. She quickly dismissed that thought.

No man could forget a woman who took a bullet for his mother.

Kira came to see why Austyn carried Deborah's photo with him.

Deborah lived on in his heart.

He would, in all likelihood, always love that woman.

Kira couldn't bring herself to be jealous.

It wasn't a good feeling to know that the man you loved had strong feelings for someone else

But Kira hoped that with time, she could help Austyn heal and move on.

Living in the past was not healthy.

The bus deposited Kira 300 metres away from Sunglade Condo and trundled off.

She hiked the rest of the

She came here to continue her aborted mission.

Austyn said Kayleigh had left Stamford, but Kira just had to see it for herself.

Kayleigh Woods was an A-list actress.

Her company and her career were here.

Why would she leave?

Maybe Austyn told a white lie because he didn't want Kira to go up against Kayleigh.

But the main culprit Santoro had run away.

That left only Kayleigh for Kira to exact revenge on.

She almost died because of those two

Kira considered herself a generally forgiving soul, but no way could she let Kayleigh off the hook that easily.

She had to give the actress a taste of her own medicine.

Shorting of orchestrating a kidnap, Kira thought Kayleigh should at least experience the despair she'd felt when she was locked up in that cage in the warehouse. Kayleigh valued her public image.

Her career was built on it.

A scandal would ruin her.

it long to find one

Knowing Kayleigh's true nature, Kira was confident she wouldn't need to wait long to

If she staked out Kayleigh's apartment every day, she would probably have enough dirt on the actress by the end of the week

Kira slipped past the security guards unnoticed.

She found her way to Block A and parked herself on a bench in a small garden in front of the building.

A hydrangea bush offered camouflage and an excellent vantage point.

She could see the comings and goings at the block without exposing herself.

It was a rather busy Monday afternoon for the residents of Sunglade.

Kira spotted at least two men and one woman dressed in long-sleeved shirts, a baseball cap, black sunglasses and a scarf.

Their whole outfit screamed 'I'm a celebrity!'

One of the men, a C-lister who specialised in romance dramas, had his arms around a bosomy girl who looked to be underage. Kira remembered seeing the actor's face in a recent interview.

He claimed to be single.

She wondered how much the tabloids were willing to pay for compromising photos of the actor.

On second thought, she put down the SLR camera.

She wasn't a paparazzo,

She should stay focused on the mission.

"What are you doing?"

Kira jumped when she heard a voice behind her.

She whirled around, her heart thumping.

It was a wo

a woman.
