After Victoria delivered the lunch to her husband's office, she received a message that her test results were ready. She took tests from two other hospitals as what her husband wanted. However, she paid nothing since it's all to her husband's money. Mave was with her to escort her and when she got the results. She was relieved. Her ovaries aren't in a bad condition. It's just the polycystic ovarious and it can heal. She can have babies as long as she takes medication and has a healthy balanced diet.
"I don't have cancer or anything!" She said happily.
"I'm happy for you. But we have to leave now." Mave said.
They happened to pass by the hotel and she saw her husband with few people in the suit as he was led to the car. Oddly, her husband seemed to be the boss more. She didn't want to bother her husband so she drove away.
"So, you won't ask me~~ about your husband doing there?" Maverick asked.
"It's work." She said. "And I trust him." She answered him.
Mave smiled.
"Kenzo won't do such bad things to you."
"If you say so." Victoria shrugged.
"Stacey texted me," Maverick said. "Can we stop by the cafe? She bought our favorites."
"Sure." Victoria stopped by the cafe nearby Stacey's office. She parked her car in front of the cafe and then, they greeted Stacey.
Victoria received a hug from her while Stacey gave him a mouthful of kisses even behind the silicon mask that he's wearing.
"Oh, please. Stop that." Victoria said. They all sat down as they started chatting.
"I just finished my project and I want to spend my time with you guys for thirty minutes," Stacey said.
"By the way, today is Friday, right?" Maverick asked.
"Yes, and we are off to the party," Stacey said excitedly. "My friends were inviting me for a night out. But I prefer being with you guys." She said as she held Maverick's hand.
Mave wasn't used with public affection. But Stacey became clingier. Victoria doesn't mind at all.
At eight in the morning, Kenzo arrived earlier than usual. He spoke to his grandfather while he was eating the breakfast that his wife prepared. The whole hotel was secured for the Duke's safety and Secretary Bryan hasn't arrived yet. Finally, the door opened as Secretary Bryan entered with a beautiful tall lady. Kenzo stared at the woman's face for a while. She's familiar and he doesn't know where he saw her.
"Miss Kaisley Bolton, meet Lord Ivan."
Kaisley gaped at the moment and Kenzo knew the woman would be very surprised since everyone knew that he was dead.
"He's the only heir to the throne. And with the paper you sign," he lifted it. "Confidentiality is a must."
"Yes, of course." She bowed at them. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Ivan."
Kenzo finally recognized the girl. Kenzo stood and extended his hand.
"Call me Kenzo. Calling me Ivan outside will be more dangerous."
The woman accepted her hand with both of her hands and shook it.
"Lord Kenzo. She's our acting chairman. She takes care of everything in the company. I assure you that she's good at everything."
"That's great then." Kenzo smiled and released her hand.
"You like the girl?" The Duke teased.
"I like a hard-working woman," Kenzo said. He extended to the chair. "Join us."
Kaisley stayed professional as she sat down.
"So, how's the other business going?" Duke Philip asked as he wiped his lips.
"Our profit raises to twenty percent this month, your grace." She said as she opened her briefcase and took out the documents and gave it to Kenzo.
"That's good." The Duke said. "I don't care about other ministers. But one of the buildings will be reserved to someone else."
"But, how about the bidding?" She asked.
"The bidding will stay," Kenzo smirked. "Besides, I have seen and researched other companies."
"And the Welch Group is raising," Kaisley added.
"I am sure that you have a good eye," Kenzo said. "But the land is mine and I'll have it settled to something more, needed in the society."
"I believe that you have good eyes on the good companies, sir," Kaisley added.
Kenzo noticed the ring on her ring finger. No engagement ring.
"You are married." He noted.
"Y~yes." She said. Kenzo nodded. She suddenly looked uncomfortable as Kenzo chuckled.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in any woman. I'm married too. It's just, I want to know my employees well." Kenzo said. Duke Philip scoffed and smacked Kenzo's back. "Ow!"
"I don't know what you are planning but don't make Miss Bolton uncomfortable."
"Nah, grandpa. I am loyal to my wife. Anyway, let's get back to business." Kenzo said. "I have a very special friend and I want to treat him well. We'll give them free rent."
"Free rent?" Kaisley frowned.
"I am investing it in him. His business will rise soon." He sipped on her tea. "Don't worry. I have good eyes on investments."
"Yes, sir. I understand."
"You are going to meet up with him for this business. However, I'll still check on other things." Kenzo said.
"Yes sir."
They discussed further and then, Kenzo visited other buildings that Etrama owns with her as his representative. He watched from the car and from the video on how she spoke with the managers fluently. She's good.
"Here are her files, sir." Secretary Bryan gave him the files of Kaisley Bolton.
Even after she was married, she didn't use her husband's surname. She didn't have any children and she's married two years ago. She was devoted to the company and from a personal assistant to executive assistant, then to the executive secretary, and then to the acting chairman.
"She's an achiever," Kenzo commented.
"Yes, sir. The Duke was pleased with her performance but she told me that she wanted to resign."
"Why?"
"Family matters, I guess." Secretary Bryan said.
"How about her husband's background?"
Secretary Bryan knew well that he'll ask for it. So, he gave him the files. And he creased her brows seeing him with a few women clinging to him instead of his wife.
"Huh," Kenzo snorted.
"She focused more on the job besides having a tycoon husband."
"Does she know what her husband was doing?"
"I don't think so, sir. But it was a forced marriage." Bryan said. "I don't want to intervene in her problems. She was always professional and focused. She left her problems at home and work to face other problems in the company."
"That's what I like more." Kenzo nodded. "I won't let her resign." He decided.
"Sir,"
"This is purely business and I don't mix up something dirty." He said. "By the way, are the cards ready?"
"Yes sir. It will be delivered tomorrow."
"Thank you. Tomorrow will be the family gathering. I want my wife to have the best things." Kenzo closed the files and put them in his briefcase.
"Shouldn't you be moving out from that house, sir? It's not safe."
"I know. But my wife owns the house and we live in that house after we got married. Besides, she doesn't know anything about me yet."
"I understand." Secretary Bryan said.
Secretary Bryan left the car and went to Miss Kaisley Bolton. He pulled out his phone and called his wife. She answered shortly.
"Hey, you have a dress for the family gathering tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, the one you bought me."
"I can buy something else."
"No. Don't bother, love. I am fine. I also set up your clothes."
"Thanks, love. I only need casual. Besides, it's family. We don't need to dress to impress."
She laughed.
"Yes, you are right." She agreed to it. "You'll be home right?"
"Yes, I'll be early." He said. "What do you want me to buy?"
"Uh, nothing?"
"Really? If you need a sexy pair of lingerie…"
She giggled.
"Love, let me nap. But I want to hear you sing."
He laughed.
"Everyone would hear it."
"I don't care…"
Kenzo cleared his throat and started singing. She was silent on the other line and he only sang for a minute.
"I will sing tonight, my love. Don't miss me too much." He said softly.
"Okay…" She giggled. "I love you." She whispered.
"Sleep well, I'll be home before you know it."
"Okay."
The door opened as Secretary Bryan and Kaisley entered.
"How is it?" He asked with a smile toward Kaisley.
Kaisley extended the files to him.
"This is part of Etrama's small business that has problems. I visited them last month and I noticed that some money from the projects that were put on by a few companies were fake." She mumbled. The car started moving. "I already researched it and few directors approved it."
"Let me work for them," Kenzo said. "It's easy to be a spy, right?" He smirked.
"They will surely run a background check on you." Secretary Bryan said.
"And you'll provide it." He told Bryan.
"Yes, of course." Secretary Bryan said.
"Let's pass by some shop. I have to pick up something for my wife."
"Yes sir."
Kenzo couldn't wait to go home. They dropped him off in the shop and waited for him. He went through the female clothes and picked up a few dresses and shoes for their bar tonight. He paid for it with his debit card.
"I never expect that you'll be here," Caleb spoke who appeared behind him.
"Oh," Kenzo smirked. "I am here to buy clothes for my wife."
"Yes, that's great. I'm picking up Stacey's clothes too. I'll see you later." Caleb hugged him and kissed his cheeks.. Kenzo frowned and pushed him away as Caleb laughed and left.
