Chapter 777: YOU NEED TO PUT A DENT IN HIS FINANCE

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Keira didn’t mean to agree to Misha’s wish to persuade Kia to agree to attend the party.

After all, she only agreed to persuade her, she didn’t actually promise that she would get Kia to agree to go.

Therefore, she told the truth about the agreement to Kia, and at the end of the day, this decision was still in Kia’s hands and Keira would not force it.

Keira did that just to give Kia some perspective she thought could help her.

“You don’t have to agree if you don’t want to, but I think you need a vacation once in a while and I think the villa you’ll be staying in will be a great place for you to find a new atmosphere.”

Keira then smiled and walked away, saying that she was done with her task and could accept Misha’s help without feeling guilty.

Meanwhile, Kia was still finishing her work, which was bathing Mika, while Keira made lunch for the three of them.

However, when Keira was in the kitchen preparing ingredients for their lunch, Kia came looking for her.

“What is it?” Keira asked carefully. “If you have something to say, just say it, don’t look at me like that, it gives me goosebumps.” She frowned at being stared at by Kia.

“How are you going to take me to the salon to make up?” Kia asked with an emotionless face, as if she was asking a simple question.

“You mean you’re going to the Tordoffs’ party?” asked Keira with shining eyes.

“Well, if you promise to take care of Mika, maybe I can go,” Kia said nonchalantly. Maybe she thought what Keira said was true that she needed a change of atmosphere and got something to think about, in order to take her mind off her family problems that constantly bothered her.

“Of course!” Keira exclaimed cheerfully, she then approached Kia before hugging and smooching her on the cheek. “You know that I just want you to be happy, right? You don’t need to care about Misha Tordoff, you just have to enjoy the party, get yourself drunk and eat all the good food there is.”

Kia laughed when she heard that, she couldn’t imagine herself doing all that, but maybe enjoying the atmosphere in an expensive villa would be fun. Because so far she very rarely went to tourist spots, even when she was still with her family.

“Yeah, and you could be at home looking after Mika and planning your wedding too, right?” Kia raised her eyebrows meaningfully and Keira lowered her head shyly.

“Well, when you think about it again… it’s not a bad deal… you can turn it down if you don’t want to, but I’ll get a sponsor for my wedding regardless.” Keira smirked, but then she asked Kia carefully. “You’re not mad about this, are you?” She was worried that this would ruin their friendship.

On the other hand, Kia didn’t answer right away, she let the question hang in the air, making Keira even more nervous.

But then she smiled widely. “Make sure you get all the expensive stuff and everything that is in the best condition, so you can hurt him financially a bit. Putting a dent in his finances is all I am asking from you.”

Keira laughed when she heard this and hugged her best friend tightly again. She kissed Kia’s cheek and made Mika jealous when she walked into the kitchen who then asked to be kissed too.

“I’m not sure that I can hurt him financially,” said Keira skeptically. The wedding party would be small and with less than a hundred people in attendance, to which she would also invite Misha Tordoff. After all, he would be sponsoring the wedding. “He’s too rich to finance a small marriage and make him concerned about the price.”

Kia shrugged nonchalantly and then lifted Mika to kiss on her soft cheek.

“So, shall we go now?” she asked. “I think we should call a taxi for the three of us.”

“Oh, don’t worry, Misha Tordoff has left a driver in the basement just in case I managed to persuade you,” said Keira, winking an eye at her, which made Kia shake her head.

“Looks like you two are very prepared,” Kia replied.

“And you know what’s the best part?” Keira asked, she lowered her voice and whispered this, even though there were only three of them in the apartment now.

“What?” Kia grew suspicious of her overreaction, but also found it amusing at the same time.

“He has booked a complete package of care for the three of us,” she said excitedly. “Even Mika can come with us.”

“Huh?” If Misha had prepared everything and he had booked a place, Kia wasn’t sure if it was just going to a salon and getting hair and make-up done.

========================

Abigail had been waiting for Misha for half an hour and saw no sign of the man coming, but even so, she was still there.

She occasionally checked her watch and looked at the entrance of the restaurant where they had promised to meet.

She found it a little strange that Misha had asked her to meet for lunch instead of dinner, because after that they could go somewhere else, couldn’t they?

But, it didn’t matter, the fact that Misha contacted her certainly left her very excited, no matter what.

And only fifteen minutes later, she was able to see Misha walking into the restaurant and he looked as handsome as ever, even though four years had passed since they met in real life like this.

Because once Misha broke up, he would cut off all contact with that person and it was safe to say that when they parted, it wasn’t an amicable breakup, because Abigail couldn’t accept the end of their very short relationship.

“Misha…” called Abigail. She smiled when she saw the man sitting in front of her and her eyes were full of lust. She wore a red shirt that fit her well and showed off a fair amount of her cleavage.

This dress was not too revealing and looked formal, but she looked quite tempting wearing it because it accentuated her beautiful curves.

Abigail even went so far as to make sure that the men she passed would glance at her a few times and stare at her with longing desire.

“You must not have eaten lunch, what do you want to eat?” asked Abigail attentively. She then called a waitress before placing her order, but when it was Misha’s turn he only ordered a drink for himself. “Why did you only order a drink?”

“I don’t intend to stay here long,” Misha said curtly. He didn’t even apologize when he arrived forty-five minutes late. He just treated this meeting like one of the business meetings he’d had so far, nothing more. “I want you to read this and explain it to me.”

Misha gave his old cellphone to Abigail with the screen facing up, where it was the content of the message sent by Kia several years ago and also the reply that ‘Misha’ gave in response to information saying that Kia was pregnant.

Abigail only had to look at the first sentence of the message. She instantly remembered what happened. She didn’t seem to know how to react and with the way Misha was looking at her, it was very difficult to read what was going through the man’s mind right now.

“You know the message, don’t you?” Misha’s question sounded more like a statement than a question and this made Abigail feel a little defensive.

She felt a little disappointed that they were here to discuss this instead of talking about the two of them.

“Did you come here just to ask this?” asked Abigail, her sweet smile instantly disappearing from her lips, as she stared at Misha sullenly. She got dressed up very immaculately for this lunch, but Misha didn’t care about that.

“Why did you reply to a message on my phone?” Misha asked. He did put a code on his phone, but there must have been a chance that Abigail saw the code and figured out how to unlock it.

“This must be a scam, there’s no way you have a child with that girl, I saw her once when she was an intern and was in your meeting at that time.” Abigail huffed, she didn’t even read the chat to the end. “You should be thanking me that I took care of this girl for you.”

“So it’s true that you replied to that message?” Misha wanted to confirm this.

“Yes, I helped you avoid a gold digger whose only goals were to seek money and a chance to be by your side,” Abigail said as if she should get credit for having done what she did.

“Abigail Marry Klutz…” Misha said her full name very calmly, but this made her fully on alert, she could feel the hostility coming from the man in front of her. “You’ve crossed some serious lines and I can’t forgive you for this.”

Misha thought this meeting was going to be a long one, but it turned out that Abigail was too proud to lie to him. She thought too highly of herself.

“I did not cross any line, how can that woman have your child?” Abigail looked angry; she furrowed her face in disapproval, but she also lowered her voice, because she was afraid of the expression on Misha’s face now. He looked untouchable.

“I hope this will be our last meeting.” Misha stood up and took out his cell phone, looking at her intensely. “Including in business.”

And after that, he walked away from there without saying goodbye or anything, while his parting words were a threat.
