Chapter 550 - Misunderstandings
His plans required delicate work, and he was deathly afraid of missing out on something. He would go through his plans over and over again, even having others going through it with a fine-tooth comb.
A mistake at this juncture could be the tip that balanced it away from him.
Although he missed Sari terribly, there was no way to keep up with the daily calls. It now was twice or three times a week call. Each time Kyle called her, he would apologize profusely.
Sari told him that she understood, that he was busy and she was fine. She missed him, of course, but she knew that as the Smith Heir, he would naturally be working. He was not a student like she is.
Still, it didn\'t mean she didn\'t wait for his call every night, hoping that perhaps, he could call her more.
She missed him so.
But she couldn\'t help the fear in her heart.
Each time he didn\'t call, she worried.
Was he really working?
It wasn\'t that early at his place, right? He could always give her a short call just before he leaves for work.
These little thoughts became more persistent until one day, Sari thought that she should give Kyle a call. After all, while it was true that Kyle could afford the calls (which was why he always insisted on doing the calling), it didn\'t mean she couldn\'t once in a blue moon, right?
She could afford that one call a month thing.
With that thought, Sari took courage and dialed Kyle\'s number.
It only rang twice before a female voice came over the line.
"Young Mistress," said the voice, "I\'m sorry, but Sir is still asleep right now."
Sari gripped the phone hard.
"Who is this?" Sari asked steadily, surprised that her voice didn\'t waver.
"Oh, I\'m sorry. This is Nialla," Nialla said, introducing herself, "Sir worked late last night, and only went to bed an hour ago."
"I see," Sari replied, "Please let him know that I called. I was just missing him."
"Noted, Young Mistress, I will tell him," Nialla assured her as she put down the phone.
Sari stared at the phone, then started crying.
So it was true that Nialla was someone that served Kyle in all capacities. For her to be at his house and pick up his phone showed familiarity that Kyle had never shown anyone else.
Sari knew that Kyle loved her but she knew that she couldn\'t be able to totally accept him being with another woman - even if he didn\'t love her. It might be normal in his life, but it wasn\'t in hers.
She sniffed, thinking that if she wanted this to work, she would need to be more open-minded.
But she just couldn\'t.
Back at Country Tz, Nialla put down the phone on the coffee table. Kyle had forgotten it and left it there when he went to bed. When she had seen Sari\'s number flashing on the screen, she hesitated a second before picking it up.
If she didn\'t pick it up, Sir\'s girlfriend might get worried.
Nialla wasn\'t going to wake Kyle up as he needed the sleep. He hadn\'t slept for three days already and the bags under his eyes were so obvious.
She had been working with him until late night, then left to go home. She came early this morning, only to find that Kyle was still working. It was only after she put her foot down that he went to the bedroom for a much needed sleep.
Nialla was about to go out when the phone call came.
She wrote a note to say that Sari had called. She also left instructions for Kyle to rest and that she would be back that evening. She placed some food and fresh water for Kitty then left the apartment.

Dina noticed Sari being less energetic today and she wondered what had happened. When she found out that \'Rex\' had left, she had been livid.
All the work she had done, and before anything could happen, he had gone?!
At first, she had despaired until she found out that Kyle would come back for her.
With that thought, Dina became even happier.
Imagine the amount of damage she could do with the separation. So when Kyle came back later on, and they broke up, Dina would be there to swoop in and soothe him.
She wasn\'t that naive to think that Kyle would fall for her there and then but she was hoping that she could, at least, ease the pain he was feeling. Perhaps, when he was at his lowest, his defences would be down.
If she could sleep with him, even if it was for one night, she could have some material on him.
Dina couldn\'t help but feel rather hot thinking about it.
Ever since she discovered the pleasures of the clitoris, she couldn\'t help but touch herself while looking at all of Kyle\'s sexy photos. The fantasy would just intensify and make her even more determined to break the two up.
So she upped the stakes.
"Sari," Dina said when Sari came and sat down next to her, "You have to help me."
"What is it?" Sari asked warily.
"It\'s like this. There\'s this mixer that I\'m supposed to go to but my cousin couldn\'t come at the last minute," Dina said, her face sad, "I am too scared to go by myself as I don\'t know anyone there."
"Then don\'t go," Sari said with a frown. What was so hard about that?
"I can\'t," Dina said with a sigh, "I promised my friend."
Just then, Grace passed them by and sneered, "So what? What has your promise got to do with anyone else?"
Dina glared at her.
