Chapter 65
After a brief meeting with one of Kyler’s newest Chairman, Gray, they sat to discuss. Though Kyler just sat as always without answering the man’s talks, he listened carefully.
It was obvious the man didn’t know who Kyler was. That he wasn’t the type of person who talked easily, especially when it was something far from business.
“My wife and I will be hosting a party for my success. We got married last year but trust me, I’m not done looking outside” Gray said and laughed heartily. “For Someone like you, it’ll be perfect cause I’ll be paying the best kinds of whores to blaze your coming”
Kyler didn’t respond and somehow the man felt tense. What kind of a person was Kyler? Why wasn’t he saying anything or smiling at his jokes?
Kyler was his boss and had the highest rank in worldwide business but Gray still considered him a boy who was yet to get it done with high school. The tension in the room seemed to vanish once Kim had gotten in as ordered by Kyler.
“Call Kalamine, the meeting with them is adjourned till whenever I’m ready”
Kim wanted to speak. To tell him that the meeting with Kalamine Seven is important and can’t be adjourned but she kept shut. She knew her boundaries.
“Yes Sir”
All these times, Gray had been feeding his eyes lustfully on Kim. He just couldn’t look away from her.
“You may leave” Kyler ordered and Kim bowed slightly before turning to walk out.
“Hello, beautiful. You might not have seen me in here”
Kim halted and turned slightly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hudson”
Gray smiled and turned to look at Kyler who looked indifferent. “You didn’t tell me you’ve got a sexy bitch for an assistant”
The word bitch made Kim wince inside. Did she look like a bitch? She knew the reason Kyler called her a bitch but that was outside how this man saw her.
“I’ll love some kind of negotiation yunno,” Gray said, his eyes traveling around Kim’s body. “How ’bout I take her a round or two then give you a million dollars?”
“She’s cheap, why pay so much?” Kyler asked bluntly and Gray looked at him, surprised. He hadn’t expected any response from Kyler as always.
He stood up and straightened his suit then walked over to where Kim stood. He touched her face but she moved away immediately. What the fuck was he trying to do?
“Why don’t we seal the deal?” Kyler asked and stood up, offering his hand for a handshake. Gray smiled and walked over while Kim stood, shivering. She couldn’t understand what was going on. What deal were they talking about?
“We are more than just partners,” Gray said and accepted the hand. The look on Kyler’s face was the same as always and Gray suddenly felt scared but decided not to show it. After all, he’s just a little boy, isn’t he?
“You touched her without my orders, that’s quite an offense,” Kyler said but Gray smiled instead. “I’m not just used to people laying hands on what’s mine”
Gray didn’t realize when a blade tore his suit and pierced his skin deeply, he groaned.
“She’s my Assistant and not an Assistant whore” Kyler said and released his hand which was dripping blood already.
Gray was badly hurt and was bleeding profusely. The sight of it scared Kim and without a word, Gray rushed out, groaning.
Kim couldn’t believe it. She was so shocked. Did Kyler protect her? Did he just stand up for her?
“Come here, Kim”
Just the voice made Kim shiver. She moved herself to where Kyler was and saw that his table and most documents were covered with Gray’s blood.
“I had told you to leave but you didn’t. You just chose to disobey me ”
He sent the back of his hand to the side of Kim’s neck, just below her left ear. Kim yelled as it sent her to the ground with the side of her face feeling numb. He had just slapped her hard.
She took her hand to her ear and there, she was bleeding. There was a pitched sound, resonating in her ears and she couldn’t hear anymore.
Has she gone deaf?

Kim’s POV
I was finally discharged from the hospital and was taken to the Brothers’ mansion by Shark. He was one of Kyler’s men and had offered to take me to the hospital.
I wanted to open the door and get down when he stopped me. “Let me, please”
He got down from the driver’s side and came over to open the door for me. He then offered me his hand. I took it and got down from the car, feeling so weak.
“I’m sorry for what happened earlier. You should try obeying every single word he says”
I turned to look at him then smiled slightly. “I know that. It was just a mistake”
He sighed “Take care. If you want, I could take you to see the doctor tomorrow”
I wanted to respond when I looked up and caught a figure. I looked away but turned to look again, alarmed. Someone stood up on the balcony, watching us. The upper part of the building was dark and I couldn’t see the person.
That was Kyler’s Zone and I shivered with just a mere thought of him. No one else would be there, it was Kyler.
“I… Uh…” I tried to say as I withdrew my hand from shark’s. He looked at me then turned in the direction I had been looking at
“Are you okay?” He asked.
I gulped hard and moved away from him. “I’ll… I’ll go now”
As I turned to leave, I cast a glance at where I had seen the figure but he was no more.

Once inside my room, I sighed tiredly and sat on the bed. My ear still hurt but not as it had been. Thank goodness I had been rushed to the hospital on time else, I would’ve been pretty much deaf by now.
Am not sure I’ll ever disobey Kyler again but what he had done to that man had been horrible. I’m just thinking of the explanation he’ll give his wife when he gets back home. Will he tell her he got the deep cut by touching a lady?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
