Kizy sighed before folding the paper and keeping it in her pocket while sitting back, tears threatening to fall from her eyes while digesting all the things that Markus had mentioned.

She looked down, eyes closed, taking deep breaths to calm herself down, thinking all the things through, even though they didn't make any sense.

"Sorry for shouting at you earlier, grandpa. I was being way too rude with you." Kizy said, her voice full of guilt and self remorse, knowing that she had done something like this for the first time, because Markus's thought had made it unable for her to think rationally.

"You don't have to feel guilty, child. Just know that we are there to support you. Thus I hope you'll similarly support Markus and think while keeping yourself in his shoes. If the situation that you have was faced by Markus, would you even think twice before going all out?" Grandpa asked, his tone calm but firm.

"No." Kizy said, still lowering her head as she was feeling ashamed for arguing with an elderly person, that too with grandpa who always had his nest of thoughts for her.

"That's exactly what he is doing. So you stay here and support his business in your way.

And my grandson isn't weak to be in danger by such tasks. He is Markus Evans, Satan for the whole underworld in country B.

And if someone dared to harm him in any way, these old bones wouldn't mind slaughtering everyone one last time." Grandpa said, rubbing Kizy's head while chuckling at his last statements.

"Hmmm." Kizy said, finally lifting her head while nodding.

"Good. Now that you are already here, why not stay for dinner? I will ask the chef to make something of your liking." Grandpa suggested, his voice like that of a grandfather who simply wanted to spoil his grandkids.

"No grandpa. Maybe some other day. Anyways, now that I am alone, I will be disturbing you on a regular basis." Kizy said jokingly.

"You are always welcome." Grandpa said and had a hearty laugh.

"Also, Nicole will be shifting to your place and accompanying you along with your team from tomorrow. Maybe she will arrive at your place tonight or early morning tomorrow." Grandpa informed Kizy.

"Okay, I will ask the butler to make proper arrangements." Kizy said.

"No need, that brat had already made all the arrangements." Grandpa said, feeling proud of his grandson who infinitely loved and doted on his wife.

Hearing grandpa, Kizy teared up once again, her throat choking from all the emotions.

She took another deep breath and gulped hard, before talking.

"What about grandma? Where is she?" Kizy asked, trying to divert the topic from Markus as she knew that she might end up crying if they were to keep talking about him.

"She has gone to attend a function." Grandpa answered.

"Alone?" Kizy asked.

"No, she and Mary have gone together. They will return after having dinner there." Grandpa explained.

"Ok. What about you? Do you want me to cook something for you?" Kizy asked.

"No child, no need to worry. The chef has already prepared everything. He will serve whenever I ask him to." Grandpa said.

"Then grandpa I will take my leave now." Kizy said, standing up and ready to leave.

"Take care of yourself. I don't want that brat to question me about your health once he returns." Grandpa said while standing up.

"Yes grandpa." Kizy said, feeling even more sentimental.

"And don't overexert yourself for the company as well. You can always turn to me when you need anything. Just stay healthy." Grandpa reminded her once again.

"Yes grandpa." Kizy said with a smile, before quickly turning and leaving, tears flowing down her face.

"She is such a tough and mature person for her young age. Still acting brave just because she didn't want me to think that she is weak. She is way too similar to my Markus in some aspects." Grandpa said, sadness filling his heart.

By the time she reached the car, she was already sobbing, trying hard to not cry loudly.

"Young madam, are you alright?" Suddenly Joel asked in a worried tone.

"Joel?" Kizy asked, quickly wiping her tears away.

"Yes." Joel replied.

"What are you doing here?" Kizy asked, trying to normalise her breathing.

"Boss asked me to pick up and drop you off everyday. He has also warned me to not leave you alone during office hours, as well as whenever you are visiting any place other than your home.

I was busy checking on the latest project hence I didn't know when you left the office. By the time I was notified, you were already inside the mansion, so I drove here. Sorry for my negligence." Joel answered politely.

"You don't have to be sorry Joel. Let's go back home." Kizy replied, Markus's thoughtfulness making her hate herself.

Joel nodded and opened the car door for Kizy, signalling Jack and Alex to follow in a different car while he sat on the front passenger seat.

He could see that Kizy was truly heartbroken, no matter how much she was trying to act calm, and must be blaming everything upon herself for what Markus would face.

He kept quiet for the entire ride, thinking how to make his Young Madam understand that she should not blame herself.

"Have you had your dinner?" Kizy asked while stepping out of the car.

"No Young madam." Joel replied curtly.

"Do you mind joining me for dinner?" Kizy asked, hoping she could at least ask some details about Markus to Joel.

"Young Madam, the thing is I never have dinner without Ruth. Even when we have company meetings, I go back home and have a light dinner with her." Joel replied, affection visible in his eyes.

"Oh okay. Maybe bring her with you next time. It has been a few days since I met her." Kizy replied before she remembered something.

"Also how is it going with Nina?" Kizy asked.
