Chapter 167 - One Hundred And Sixty-Seven: La Mia Farfalla (2/2)

”Should I come to pick you up?”

”That crazy man” she cursed through gritted teeth and answered back, ”I'll come to you, just send the address to me ”

Angela's heart was slamming against her chest, who knew what that mad guy had in store for her?

She had just received the address and was going through it when a knock came on her door and was swung open before she could react.

”Mom - ”

Kimberly stopped short when she saw the panicky look on her mother's face. She watched her dump something into the paper bin beside her desk and stood abruptly.

”What is it?”

”I was wondering if you could help me out - ”

”That should be once I'm back ” Her mom cut her off before she was done speaking, arranging her desk.

”Are you going somewhere?”

”Yes,” she answered briskly much to her surprise, rummaging through her handbag for God knows what.

What was so important that had her mom in a haste like this? Kim wondered.

”Where are you going?” She asked, hoping for an answer.

”None of your business. I'm your mother and you're my daughter, so I don't answer to you, rather it's the other way around.”

Kim frowned at her mother's sharp tone. She knew her mom quite well and unless something was bothering her, her tongue never turns acidic.

Her eyes fell on the dark rose on her mother's desk,” Dad sent you flowers? It's so beautiful”

”Sure, you can have it, ” Angela offered it to her and walked past Kim in a hurry before she could question her further.

Kimberly was flabbergasted, her mother gave her the flowers dad sent her? That woman that was so possessive of her husband? Strange.

Something was fishy, mom wouldn't give her this flower...unless it wasn't from dad.

Kim at once left the room and walked to the secretary, ”Who sent flowers to my mother?”

The secretary stood up, ”I have no clue, is there a problem?”

”The bouquet is not from my father?”

”No, there was no information about the sender. Though it came with a note and I suggested to madam to have it traced if she could make out any information from the card”

At once, Kim's mind flashed back to that time she saw her mom tossing something into the bin.

”Thank you and this conversation remains between us, ” Kim warned the secretary.

” Sure ” she nodded

Kim strode back to her mother's office and headed straight for the bin. It wasn't hard to recognize the crumbled card thanks to its fancy design.

”La mia farfalla?” She frowned, then picked out her phone from the pocket of her pants and searched up the word.

”An Italian word for, 'my butterfly?' ”

A lot of thoughts went through Kim's head but she still couldn't connote it with her mom's odd behavior until an absurd thought came into her head: her mom was cheating on Dad!

Her eyes widened from shock, but how was that possible? It sounded stupid but what could explain the flowers and the romantic message.

No, she has to find out.

Kim hurried out and entered the elevator that led to the lobby, just as she reached outside to watch her mom's car drive away.

”Taxi!” Kim flagged down one at once, ”follow that car” she directed him as soon as she stepped in.

Kim was so obsessed with tailing her mom that she was quite disgruntled when a call came into her phone.

Tina, what bad luck.

”Hello”

”I need Maya to suffer” Her royal highness ordered without even asking about her wellbeing.

Kim was irritated, does this woman think she was her dog?

”Probably another time, right now I don't have anything on - ” she was still answering but Tina cut her off rudely.

”It was not a request but an order”

Kim could sense the coldness from her tone, something must have happened for her to be this pissed off but what could she do? She had nothing to bring the downfall of Maya at the moment.

”Fine, I'll do it ” she reluctantly agreed, else that witch wouldn't let her rest.

”And do it fast, my patience is thinning by each growing seconds”

What an audacity

”Alright, your honor” she snarked and ended the call with no care. That rich witch was beginning to get on her nerves and it was irritating her.

Moreover, she had a car to chase.

Immediately she turned her gaze back to the road, Kim was shocked when a car came out of nowhere and crossed them.

Had the driver not being alert and stepped on the break, they would have crashed into that car.

”Who's that mad man?!” The driver climbed out of the car angrily for a confrontation.

Before the matter could be settled, Kim had lost her mom's car. Damn it!
