Zara couldn't believe her eyes.
Kai had stood up for her in a way she hadn't expected.
The thought of it completely puzzled her.
Why had he done it?
What was the end game here?
She asked herself multiple times.
As the procession went on, with so many business moguls introducing themselves and their contribution and investments in certain projects, Zara was completely awestruck.
She turned to Kai, who kept his eyes on his watch time and again.
"Of course, they have to be here fashionably late."
"Who's that?"
Zara asked, and Kai turned to her in surprise. He was shocked she was interested in what he was saying.
"Oh. My father and his associates." Kai said, his voice firm. "I never see why you'd care though, given you've been in another world for the past hour instead of focusing like you should be."
Kai smiled, but an undertone of seriousness lay beneath. He had gone back to that cold, ruthless person that Zara had been introduced to.
