“Hello everyone.” Kizy started and the entire audience went pin drop silence.

And why will they not be? They were dying to hear any piece of news about Markus and Kizy. Now that they had Kizy, they could only be all ears to her answer.

“First of all sorry for making you all worried. I sincerely thank you all for your concern.” Kizy said with a polite smile pasted on her face, looking no less than an experienced business woman.

“Secondly, let’s first attend the main event, which is the award show. Once the programme ends, I’ll answer all your questions.” Kizy answered before bowing and going towards the main hall, leaving all the reporters mesmerized by her strong aura.

‘True to her name – Ice queen.’ This was the only thought that all the reporters had.

Soon the award show started and ‘Stardust’ was literally sweeping all the awards away. Any field where ‘Stardust’ had a nomination meant ‘Stardust’ was the winner.

In barely two hours, the award ceremony came to an end with some dances and an orchestra to entertain the people from the business world.

Once done, a dinner was organized for people to expand their network in their own fields. And as expected, Kizy had people lined up to meet her.

Since these businessmen were unable to reach Markus, the closest way they found was to get in contact with Kizy.-.

Hence for the entire one and half hour that was given for business dinner, Kizy had no lack of visitors.

Thankfully Nicole and Joel were there to tag along with Kizy, or else it would have been a real difficult task for her to handle everyone on her own.

“Young madam.” Joel said while coming from somewhere.

“Yes?” Kizy replied.

“The reporters have been waiting at the gate for your answers. They want to know when you will be done?” Joel asked in a respectful manner.

“Let’s not make them wait much. I am almost done. I need to meet Mr. William for a moment and then I am done.” Kizy answered.

“Ok. Then Miss Nicole and I would be waiting for you at the gates with reporters.” Joel said and left.

Kizy had to speak a little with three more businessmen before she finally met Mr. William.

“Mr. William.” She called out, a genuine smile appearing on her face for the first time this evening.

Mr. William was one of those few people who had managed to get into Kizy’s close people circle within a very short span of time.

“Kizy! How are you doing girl? Didn’t get to hear anything about you two since the anniversary.” Mr. William replied cheerfully, happy to meet Kizy again.

“I am good. Was busy with some matters for the past few days. How is business going? All well?” Kizy asked again, as if meeting some close acquaintance after a long time.

“I am doing fine. We will be opening a new branch soon. Do visit it once it’s ready.” Mr. William said with a smile, his voice lowering a little after getting weird glances from people surrounding them.

“Sure. How can I not? Especially when I am getting a free meal from you, I am definitely not missing out on it!!” Kizy said with equal energy.

“Deal then. You will be my first customer for the new hotel.” Mr. William said.

The duo talked a little before shifting towards a corner and discussing something in a serious tone.

“Are you sure about this?” Mr. William asked after thinking everything through.

“Yes. I have thought all the options over but this one is the best. I just hope you could lend me a helping hand for this one though.” Kizy said.

“Hmmm. If that is how I can help, then I will definitely. But promise me that you will take care of yourself. You are no less than my own daughter, and this is the only thing I can ask from you.” Mr. William said, his tone genuine.

“Don’t worry about me. I will be alright. Please just help me with this once.” Kizy replied in an almost pleading tone, something that she rarely did.

“Okay I will.” Mr. William said, nodding his head.

Kizy and Mr. William talked for a few more minutes before Kizy eventually left for the gates, ready to answer the media and reporters.

Unknown to her, all her actions were being watched by someone from the dark. Every single movement by Kizy was being tracked to the top.

Kizy simply walked her way to the gates, taking a deep breath before making the last turn towards the door.

And just because it was Kizy, people or more appropriately reporters were ready to wait, to wait without any complaints at the gate.

“Young Madam! How are you doing?”

“Kizy please answer us!”

“Where is Mr. Markus? Why are you not attending this award show together?”

“Why were you absent from all the past shows?”

“We habe been missing our power couple! When will we get to see both of you together?”

All the flashlights were being showered upon her while she stood still, waiting for the reporters to turn silent.

“First of all sorry for making you all wait this long. I thought I will be done soon, but it took me more time than needed, making you stand here at the gates.” Kizy said and paused.

“No Kizy, not at all. Don’t apologize.” All of them replied in unison.

“Secondly, as for our absence from the public event, we were busy planning. As you can see from our results, the company is working hard to achieve greater heights and for that we need to work even harder.

Both Markus and I have set some goals for ourselves and we both are trying our level best to succeed in them.

Thirdly, I want to share a very important piece of news to you all. This news is also one of the reasons why we both have not been attending any shows.” Kizy said and paused, letting all the reporters digest her information before she could bombard them with anything new.
