Chapter 167 - 167. Killer By Profession
"You.. you.. do you have a problem? Is there anything wrong with marrying me?" Markus asked, feeling offended.
"Yes of course. I wanted a handsome and rich man. But I ended up marrying you." Kizy said.
"Wait wait wait a minute. Am I not rich. Or maybe that can be discussed later. I am the most handsome man in country B that people are dying for. People would have still tried to matchmake me with their daughters if not for announcing you as my fiance. In fact they are waiting for us to break up so that they can get a chance." Markus said cockily.
"Yeah. Blind people of course." Kizy said in return.
"Pfffftttt. Kizy, you are the best." Nicole said, laughing hard.
"You stop laughing. Or should I add some more men to the blind date list?" Markus said, his voice threatening.
"We don\'t need you." Kizy said and started dragging Nicole with her, walking towards grandpa.
"Kizy, what are you doing? At least explain the plan to me." Nicole said, knowing Kizy would say something on her behalf.
"You just have to lower your head and blush." Kizy said, not giving much hint.
"Still-" Nicole wanted to speak but Kizy cut her off.
"Shhh. Trust me. And no more talking. Grandpa might hear us." Kizy said and went near grandpa.
"Grandpa." Kizy called to seek his attention.
"Yes child. What is it?" Grandpa asked in a doting voice.
"I want to tell you something." Kizy said.
"Go ahead." Grandpa said, giving her full attention.
"Not here but somewhere privately." Kizy said, looking at her surroundings, which was filled with other family members, who were now looking at them, especially Markus and Nicole\'s mom and dad.
"Okay. Let\'s go to my study." Grandpa said and immediately the trio was gone.
"Now tell me. What do you want to say?" Grandpa asked, once only he, Kizy and Nicole were remaining.
"Grandpa, actually it is about Nicole." Kiz said and paused, looking at Nicole who didn\'t even know what Kizy was about to talk.
"Ok. I am listening." Grandpa said, patiently listening.
"Actually grandpa, you must be knowing that her parents are setting her up for countless blind dates. But it is not needed." Kizy said.
"What do you mean by that? Talk clearly, child. You don\'t have to be scared of me." Grandpa said, his voice as gentle as it could get.
"The thing is grandpa... Nicole likes someone." Kizy directly went for the kill.
"What!!" Grandpa said, equally shocked as Nicole who was standing behind Kizy.
"Nicole, is it true?" Grandpa asked, turning towards her.
Nicole, who didn\'t even know how to react, just lowered her head, remembering what Kizy had asked her to do.
"You don\'t have to hide that Nicole. You are not doing some crime. But just tell me who the guy is. I could do a background search on him." Grandpa said, instantly forming plans to test this guy.
"Grandpa, actually she has not confessed to the man yet. His profession is obstructing her from expressing her feelings." Kizy said, making up a random story on the spot.
"What does he do?" Grandpa asked, now thinking seriously.
"He is a teacher. But that is just to cover up his profession. He is actually a killer by profession.
Plus Nicole doesn\'t even know what she exactly feels for him. So she is waiting. She is waiting to first confirm her own feelings.
And secondly she doesn\'t know if the man would reciprocate her feelings. So she is a little confused right now. We just need to give her some time and she would be able to sort out everything.
Just that the blind dates are taking too much of her time, while her parents are not ready to stop the blind dates now." Kizy said everything in one breath, making valid reasons and speaking it point wise, elaborating every point briefly.
"Ohh I see. Killing would be a dangerous profession. But if you truly love him, I will support you just like I supported Markus.
You might not know, but Markus had met me privately after your grandma\'s birthday banquet, apologising for not telling me about his love and marrying secretly without my blessings." Grandpa said, thinking deeply.
\'I knew this. He already loved Kizy from the beginning.\' Nicole thought, a smile appearing on her face while her head was lowered.
\'What else was that devil trying to plan?\' Kizy thought, finding the entire matter fishy.
"Thank you for understanding grandpa." Kizy immediately said, nudging Nicole.
"Thank you grandpa." Nicole repeated, understanding Kizy\'s signal.
"Also you don\'t have to worry about meeting any more men. I will talk with your parents. Go out and have fun. Also send your mom and dad inside." Grandpa said, making Kizy smile as her plan was a success.
"But grandpa, won\'t they scold Nicole for not discussing this with them and directly approaching you?" Kizy asked, trying to protect Nicole from all sides.
"You don\'t have to worry about that. They won\'t scold her. And you Nicole. I am giving you a time of three months. If you are unable to give me the name by then, I won\'t be stopping your blind dates after that." Grandpa said.
"Yes grandpa." Nicole said, nodding her head sincerely.
She was already planning to live separately from her parents by then. Three months were enough to plan any other option for herself.
"Now go and send your parents inside." Grandpa said.
Kizy and Nicole both left the study. Once they had sent Nicole\'s parents inside, Nicole immediately hugged Kizy tightly.
"KIZY!! You are the best! Thank you so so much." Nicole exclaimed.
"Hope you won\'t be offended by my method though." Kizy said, scratching her head a little.
After all, she had paired Nicole with an imaginary man, who didn\'t even exist.
"No, not at all. In fact, how did you manage to come up with such a brilliant plan? And if you are so talented in this romantic field, why are you still struggling for your own love life?" Nicole said, and the next moment, she regretted speaking too much.
