Chapter 125 - The Ex-Best Friend
Keira was refreshed and had her exercise. Her period is done and she could move around freely and have that extreme exercise with her husband. However, her husband didn\'t let her do any extreme exercise, or else she\'ll crush her carbs and get more hungry later. Anyway, she\'s in a good mood today. She\'s finally going to face that ex-best friend and have tea later.
"I was wondering about those two," Keira said as she finished her make-up.
"Who?" Alessandro asked while fixing his clothes.
"Connor and Jo."
"Don\'t worry about them. I am sure that they are enjoying the toys that you gave to them."
Keira put away her lipstick and laughed.
"Are you sure that you want to meet her without Jo?" Alessandro approached her as she stood to fix his tie.
"Yeah," She patted his coat and squeezed his cheeks. "My adorable hubby."
He kissed her lips.
"We have to go." She reached for her purse.
The time that Keira reached her office, she quickly checked a few things and was notified that Holly was already in the cafe. Johanna raised her brows but she only said that she had MJ. So, Johanna was confident that she\'ll be safe since the new cafe is just on the ground floor, in the building of the Golden Age Entertainment. MJ with two male bodyguards followed her. Two male bodyguards behind her and MJ in front to lead her.
She quickly spotted Holly and she forced herself a smile, in a friendly way. Holly won\'t notice it. She pulled a chair for herself as she faced Holly.
"K-Keira," Holly\'s eyes were dark like she hadn\'t been sleeping.
"How are you?" Keira asked and reached her hands.
"I-I\'m fine. I am glad that you wanted to meet me."
"Yes," Keira sighed. "I\'m sorry. I can\'t get you involved in our family situation. Everything was chaotic with the death threats." Keira said, sounding very much apologetic.
"It\'s alright." Holly smiled. "I know that you are doing it for me."
Keira nodded and pressed her lips.
"So, what do you want to drink? Do you like the same drink as before?" Keira smiled.
"It\'s fine~~"
"No, it\'s not." Keira stood quickly. "I\'ll get it, stay here." She went to the counter and at that moment, MJ already had his drink and was sitting close to them. She wore her normal clothes and sipped on her cappuccino as glanced at Holly who was smirking while Keira went to the counter to fall in line and order drinks.
MJ kept her eyes on Keira as two bodyguards fell in line behind her to make sure that she\'s safe. She watched the woman typed on her phone. She might be contacting the boyfriend. She didn\'t understand why they would do such a thing to the poor girl. Play with her? Then, play with her again, as a friend. How can a friend treat her that way? She had known Keira for a short time and she was nothing but an angel to them. She was naughty sometimes but she was always kind to everyone. She treated her bodyguards so well that they started gaining weight with the foods that she ordered for them. That\'s why some of them would have to run to the gym many times.
Keira came back and smiled at Holly as they chatted.
"I heard that the company closed down," Keira said. "Don\'t worry, we have an agency, they are scouting for new stars. I already instructed my secretary to put you there."
"W-What?" Holly acted surprised but she knew that Keira would set it up.
MJ doesn\'t want Harvey to know about this since Keira would handle it. Or else, Harvey would end up killing one or two again. She doesn\'t want his trauma to go further. She knew that he had a soft heart and part of him was a beast.
"Miss K." The barista called. She stood and went to the counter and took the tray with a thank you. She served the food to Holly.
"Here, you have to eat. You lose weight."
They chatted like normal but MJ knew the sickness inside the woman\'s head. Why does Keira have to be surrounded by deranged people?
<><><><>
Johanna frowned at the position that Keira gave to Holly. It\'s not a high position but it\'s still a staff and enough to scout for new stars. Well, it\'ll be a hard one. After she\'s done with the recommendation, she emailed it to Keira and the Manager of the Star Agency. She finally stood from her seat and glanced at Conrad who was fast asleep on the sofa with a blanket over him. She knew that had a lack of sleep because he was horny all night. She shook her head and left her office and approached Vanessa.
"So, how is it going to be recorded?" Johanna asked and Vanessa showed her the tablet.
"The singers sang perfectly." Vanessa smiled. "I think they will soon show it off.
"That\'s great." Johanna nodded. "And about lunch, I\'m going to order. So, what restaurant do you suggest?"
Vanessa thought for a while.
"I think Madam likes Asian Season so much and they have lots of Asian cuisines."
"You are right." Johanna agreed to her and she asked the guards about the foods that they wanted to eat to have an early reservation. She let them check out a few things and she went back to her office.
"Jo," Conrad mumbled. She approached him and looked down at him. "Can you turn the AC down a little bit?"
From the look of his flushed face, he must have a fever. She adjusted the AC to twenty-five and then, she took out a thermometer gun and checked his temperature through his ears.
"You are burning up." She gently put her hand over her head. "Yeah, you are burning up pretty high."
She put it back on her table as she went to the water dispenser. She filled the mug with warm water and she helped him sit up and gave it to him.
"I\'m going to buy medicine," Johanna said.
"No, don\'t go out." He creased his brows. "I\'ll just sleep this off."
"Since when was the last time you got a fever?" Johanna asked.
"I don\'t know." He shrugged. "Well, every time I was shot in a few critical places on my hot body, I got a little fever. But I\'m used to it."
Johanna was amused that he could still joke in his situation. He\'s damn crazy.
"I checked the clinic if they have medicine for fever."
She left the office without asking for his permission. On her way to the clinic using the elevator, she noticed a newbie who greeted her. She nodded and didn\'t initiate any conversation. However, she noticed something. The shoes and the clothes that he\'s wearing. Johanna was fast at observing and her intuition says different too. There are possible spies in the Golden Age since it\'s a big company. Besides, Keira had a lot of gold on top of her head. Assassins are still after her.
Her elevator floor dings as it opens. She stepped out and went to the clinic. She noticed that there\'s a new nurse in the hospital and smiled at her.
"What happened to Nurse Marie?" She asked.
"She\'s been on leave-sick Ma\'am." The nurse looked timid but Johanna had every right to be suspicious. Just how many spies are there in this Golden Age?
"Okay," She nodded. "I\'ll have Paracetamol, 500 milligrams." She smiled at the Nurse. The Nurse quickly took out paracetamol and gave it to her. She thanked her and she left the clinic. It\'s good to be able to walk around the office and to know a few things. At the time that she reached the President\'s Floor, Keira was entering her office with MJ. She noticed the sour face and the trembling hands. She must be enraged.
She went to her office first and gave him medicine.
"Don\'t kiss me, okay?" he mumbled and had that surgical mask on.
"Who would kiss you?" She asked coldly and gave him the medicine with warm water. Then, she reached the door.
"You are always cold as always, that\'s why I love you."
She stopped from reaching the door but then, she knew that he\'s just messing around so she left the office. She entered Keira\'s room and she\'s somehow beating up the punching bag standing near the glass full window. She was indeed enraged and so she approached her.
"You don\'t have to meet her again if it makes you puke," Johanna told her. Keira sighed first and calmed herself before facing Johanna.
"I don\'t think that I have an appetite to eat with her."
Johanna tilted her head and smiled in a sinister way.
"Do you want me to kill her?"
Keira\'s eyes dilated and Johanna chuckled.
"What? It is what would he do for you." She shrugged.
"Hmm, why are you acting strange?" Keira asked.
"That\'s because," Johanna approached her and reached her cheeks. "You have more spies around here than you expected. And I would kill for you, my baby sister."
Keira shook her head and reached her cold hands on her cheeks.
"I want you to be safe, Jo." Keira smiled at her and somehow, it warmed her.
"Alright," Johanna smiled.
"I don\'t want you to kill for me or anyone."
"If it\'s necessary, then I should." Johanna patted her head. "Well, I\'ll serve some sweet drinks?"
Keira sighed.
"Alright," She smiled. Johanna left her office as Keira\'s smile faded.
