Novel Full 268 268. Business Award
Kizy on the other hand gave a sad smile while looking out of the office window, which showed the entire city covered in shades of red, orange and yellow, giving a beautiful view of the sunrise.
She took a deep breath before resuming her work.
The next few days, the company was shocked speechless by Kizy’s working capacity. As if arriving at 8 am before all employees was already less, she started working from 6 am.
The company in return was even more motivated and strong-willed to take their name to new heights.
This way, ‘Stardust’ ended up profiting more than it had ever in the past two years.
It won many awards in the business industry, but unfortunately no one was able to witness their power couple anywhere.
Kizy would always send the Vice president for award shows, while working behind in company, not wanting to waste even a single minute she had.
There were many doubts arising between the audience as it had been the sixth award show that ‘Stardust’ had won, yet Kizy and Markus were nowhere to be seen.-.
They were worried for their power couple who seemed to have vanished into thin air. And why won’t they be? It had been almost a month, yet there was no news or update from either Markus or Kizy.
“Young Madam, people have been talking a lot about your absence from award shows. Should we do something for that?” Joel asked.
In reality, he had been wanting Kizy to take some break in the form of these award shows. She had already finished all the work that they were supposed to do this month. Plus she had already planned tasks for all departments for next month.
This was if those departments were to do all the work without even any guidance, they were sure to make more profit.
“Is this the last award show for the business industry?” Kizy asked without even lifting her head from the document.
“Yes young madam. After this, the awards will only be hosted near end of year.” Joel replied.
“Okay. I will attend this one.” Kizy said, still working.
But her statement made Joel shocked and then happy, grateful that his young madam would finally relax a little.
“What about the boss? People are bound to question you on that.” Joel asked after thinking it through.
“I will answer that. Don’t worry.” Kizy said before finishing the last document and finally lifting her head.
“How is Ruth? I haven’t seen her for quite some time. Don’t neglect her now that you are in a relationship.” Kizy said.
“No. In fact we three had dinner this weekend. Ruth was so happy to have Nina at our home. I have never seen her excited like that for years.” Joel replied.
“Hmmm. Good to hear that. Ruth is a pure girl with an innocent heart. I am glad that she likes Nina. Both of them are sort of introverts.” Kizy said.
“Yeah. Ruth is very innocent. But the world isn’t.” Joel said, his voice becoming cold.
“But you are there for her. So who cares about the world.” Kizy said, trying to lighten the environment, as she instantly understood that she had touched a sensitive topic.
“Yes I am there. But I am useless. If I had been half as powerful back then, it wouldn’t have happened.” Joel said, gritting his teeth as if he was cursing himself for some dark past memories.
“Hey Joel, chill down. You don’t have to blame yourself for whatever has happened. Though I don’t know what it is, I am sure that Ruth never blames you. So relax.” Kizy said, trying to calm Joel who was losing his temper, a rare thing to happen.
“Sorry young madam. I got carried away. I will make preparations for you to attend the award show.” Joel said and bowed before leaving in a rush, knowing he spoke more than needed.
‘What was that about? Markus did tell me that Joel and Ruth have gone through a lot. But I guess there is more to it. Anyways, I just hope they both live happily with Nina.’ Kizy said before opening her laptop.
*TWO DAYS LATER*
The flashlights from the camera were blinding the entrance of the hall. Reporters were busy asking questions, running behind all the great businessmen, hoping to get some answer or at least a good glimpse of them.
Just when it was about time to start the show, there was a commotion at the entrance, and the reason for this one was none other than Kizy.
Sporting a black shirt, grey trousers and grey blazer, Kizy entered the area with the clicking sound of her black high heels, instantly catching all the attention.
She had purposefully not worn her usual gowns or dresses, to attract less attention, but guess she was entirely wrong.
No matter whether it was a business attire or some old rags, until and unless it was Kizy, she was bound to make head turns.
Her hairs which were left untied made all the audience go crazy. Her simple act of tugging her hairs behind her ear made the men go insane while even women could not help but admire her ice queen appearance.
Kizy in her business outfit gave off that mature vibe, totally opposite to the young and fresh appearance she used to carry in her gowns.
The moment she was near the hall, all the reporters stormed their way to her, wanting to question her about her sudden disappearance along with Markus.
“Young Madam, where have you been all this time?”
“Why are you alone instead of having Mr. Markus along with you?”
“Why were you not attending the past award shows?”
“Is everything alright between you and Markus?”
“Why are there no updates about you and Markus?”
“We have been missing our power couple like crazy? Where is Markus? When will we get to see you both together?”
