Kizy’s sudden behavioral changes were in fact scaring him instead of making him feel relieved.

Thus when everyone in the house was relaxed to see Kizy like her usual past self, Jason was on high alert mode.

“I will be eating by myself. You can call it a date with myself maybe. I want to treat myself to some good food.” Kizy said in an energetic voice.

“Let me or someone else accompany you.” Jason said.

“No. I seriously want to give myself a good time. Some me time maybe. Please don’t reject that.” Kizy insisted.

“Will you be alright?” Jason asked in a worried tone.

“Of course. I have to be.” Kizy said, something passing in her eyes, but she was quick to hide that.

“Are you sure?” Jason asked, feeling that abnormal aura Kizy emanated for a split second.

“Stop nagging like some old guy, dude. Just let me go this once. And Alex and Jack can follow me till the hotel, but no entering inside.” Kizy said, almost in a pleading tone.-.

“No. If you want, they will have a faraway seat, but they are entering.” Jason spoke in a voice that said no argument.

“Jason please. Why won’t you let me be by myself!” Kizy asked in a frustrated tone.

“Diamond, I am coming with you.” Jason said while getting up, ignoring Kizy’s plea.

“Fine. Let Jack and Alex enter. You are not coming. Bye.” Kizy said and instantly ran out of Jason’s room, not wanting to hear any more lectures from him.

“Dia-” Jason was about to call her back when he stopped, shaking his head.

‘Can I ever refuse this girl?’ He thought to himself.

*8 PM, GAZEBO HOTEL*

Kizy entered the hotel wearing a black one piece that ended exactly below her heels. The dress was matched with minimalistic accessories, giving off a mature yet elegant vibe.

Unexpectedly, the hotel was completely empty, unlike its usual self.

“Lady boss, we will have a seat over there. We won’t disturb you anymore.” Alex said while pointing towards the farther end, as Jason had ordered them.

“Is it necessary? Shouldn’t you be listening to me instead of taking orders from Jason?” Kizy asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Boss had strictly ordered us that whenever it is related to your safety, we are to listen to any other member other than you.” Jack chirped in, fully determined.

“But look around. Do you even see a single soul over here? Is it really necessary to ruin my solo date?” Kizy asked.

“Sorry lady boss, but we can not help.” Alex said.

“Fine. Now go and let me have my pleasant ‘Me time’. Dare anyone out of you disturb me.” Kizy said before walking towards the opposite end, ultimately sitting beside a huge window that gave the most picturesque view of the city.

A smile bloomed on Kizy’s face, after taking in the view, the citylights, and the buzzing city highways, though the smile never reached her ear.

“Your order mam.” Suddenly she heard a voice.

Kizy turned back, only to see Mr. William standing in front of her with a genuine smile pasted on his face.

“Mr. William!! What a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t expecting you.” Kizy said in sheer surprise.

On the other hand, Alex and Jack who were on high alert, relaxed a little after watching that the person to arrive and disturb their lady boss was none other than Mr. William, an old friend to their boss. They could still hear bits and pieces of the conversation between Kizy and Mr. William.

“Glad that you liked the surprise then. So what’s the occasion today? I see you are alone. Are you waiting for someone?” Mr. William asked in an affectionate tone, the way a father would address his daughter.

“No. Today’s motto is self love. Today I am treating myself to a good date night!” Kizy said with a proud expression.

“Ooops. Then this old bag of bones should definitely leave the seat empty.” Mr. William said while he was about to get up.

“No no Mr. William, what are you saying. Please stay. I will be more than happy to have someone to share my food with.” Kizy said.

“Umm. About that… the thing is some guests are arriving at my place today and I promised to have dinner with them. How about some other time?” Mr. William asked with a regretful expression.

“Sure no problem. I will plan a dinner for us soon then.” Kizy said while nodding her head.

“Definitely. I will take my leave now. Order whatever you want. You will get anything within fifteen minutes and I am sure you will like it.” Mr. William said before getting up.

“Thank you so much Mr. William. I am grateful to have you by my side.” Kizy said in a sincere tone.

“Anything for you child.” Mr. William said before eventually leaving.

Soon afterwards came the waiter who took order from Kizy as well as Jack and Alex, who barely ordered for themselves.

They were here on a mission of protecting Kizy, hence they could not afford to waste their time or even distract themselves slightly while eating food.

They were still waiting for food when Jack received a call.

“Why is Mr. Jason calling me?” Jack said in a confused tone before picking up the call.

“Hello Jack?” Jason’s urgent voice was heard from the other side.

“Yes Mr. Jason.” Jack replied.

“Where is Diamond?” Jason asked frantically, his voice alerting Jack as well.

“Lady boss is there in front of us. Do you want me to go towards her and pass the phone?” Jack asked, feeling something was not right.

“Yes go towards her right now and stay with her. If possible take her back home immediately. There is something-” Jason was still speaking when a loud crash was heard.
