Chapter 141 - Im Deaf (1/2)

Cain was left with his father, Daniel. ”Father, can I talk with you?”

”Of course you can, son,” His father replied with a smile as they entered the living room. He sat on the sofa before he asked, ”What do you want to talk about?”

”It's about Kimmy,” Cain started. ”She has always valued her privacy and freedom among all else so, she was hoping if we could keep quiet about her stay here. She told me earlier that she didn't want her mother to find out about her whereabouts.”

”Are they not on good terms?” Daniel asked, quite surprised at what his son was saying.

He shook his head and sighed before he continued, ”I don't know, father. She hasn't given me the details. Maybe they are, maybe they're not?

But she seems to be escaping her mother. According to what she said, if her mother found out that she was here, she would be forced to leave this place just to run away again.”

Daniel was quiet for a few seconds as he processed his son's words. He soon sighed helplessly before he finally agreed, ”Fine, I won't tell anyone that she's here.”

”Thanks, Dad,” Cain said with a small smile. ”I will inform everyone working in this place about keeping their lips shut as well so that no word will come out of this place.”

His father nodded in agreement. ”Son, what do you think about Kimmy? What are your intentions on her?”

”I don't have any intentions, dad. She was the one who offered to work for me. I don't think I can just reject her if she wants to make up for what happened.”

Daniel heaved out a deep sigh. Well, if his son won't confess then at least Kimmy being in the place would give him a good opportunity to start. He really liked Kimmy after all and he was hoping that one day, things could go well for them.

After having their conversation, Cain excused himself and went to his room. He eyed the door of the room beside his room for a few seconds before he walked straight to his room.

Meanwhile, after Kimmy had unpacked her things, she decided to take a shower and after she did, she changed into her nightwear. A plain oversize shirt. She didn't have underwear on since she would be sleeping anyway. Besides, she made sure to lock the door. She didn't want Cain to suddenly barge and even occupy the rest of her privacy.

She decided to look around. Her room was just as big as her apartment. She had her own bookshelf and as well as her vanity table. Her closet was so big that it still felt empty even after she had placed her clothes inside.

After drying her hair, she decided to lay down on her bed as she waited. She was tired and getting some sleep should help her regain her strength and yet, her eyes won't even wink a sleep so she decided to walk towards the balcony and gazed down at the garden below her.

She sighed inwardly and closed her eyes as she felt the cool breeze against her face. Kimmy didn't think that she would be staying in such a place. It was not like she was uncomfortable but since she was still not used to her new room, she couldn't feel the sleepiness visiting her body.

”Why are you still awake?”

Huh? Why could she still hear Cain's voice right now? Her mind must be playing tricks on her. Kimmy's eyes were shut as she was enjoying the cool breeze. 'Kimmy, stop thinking of him. Don't let him ruin your mood.'
