Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 3
Next day, Kizy and Markus went to visit Evans
Mansion.
“Ohh my dear child! Look how thin you have
become.” Grandma said as soon as Kizy
entered.
“No grandma.. I look the same.” Kizy said
awkwardly.
“No you look so thin!! Let me cook some dishes
for you. No wait. I will send nutritious dishes to
you everyday!” Grandma said happily.
“I thought we had our chefs for that.” Markus
said in a taunting voice.
“What do you know? Chefs can’t make my
traditional dishes, and even if they do, they
won’t be able to make it as tasty as I can.”
Grandma said excitedly.
“Narcissist.” Grandpa scoffed while entering the
hall.
“What did you say?” Grandma said, raising her
brows.
“Nothing honey.” Grandpa said with a smile,
panicking a little.
“I have never been given this special treatment
even when I was about to faint from
exhaustion!!” Markus exclaimed.
“Look at you. Being so petty and acting like a
crybaby!! It was your grandpa who wanted you
to be strong. So he never let me care for you.”
Grandma said with a shrug.
“Grandpa, seriously!! I was devoid of this
treatment because of you?” Markus asked,
sulking.
“Act like a man. These small things shouldn’t
matter to you.” Grandpa said, clearing his
throat.
“But they matter to me.” Markus said, still
sulking.
“Ok I will make some for you if I have time and
energy left after making her dishes.” Grandma
said.
“Wait. What? You don’t have any time and
energy for your real grandson but you have all
the time and energy for your grand daughter in
law? She is a member of this family because of
me!! How can you treat me so poorly!!” Markus
exclaimed.
“Ok ok stop sulking. I will make dishes for you
regularly.” Grandma said and the family of four
went to the dining table.
“Where is mother?” Kizy asked after not seeing
Mary all this time.
“Her company ‘Purple’ is participating in the
‘International Fashion Week’ held in Country A.
There will be some competitions and she is
staying up late and waking up early nowadays,
personally giving attention to all the designs.
Yesterday evening her team went to Country A,
as the competition will be held next week, four
days from now.” Grandma said, proud of her
daughter in law.
“Woww!! Mother’s company is participating in
fashion week!! That’s such great news.” Kizy
said excitedly.
“No need to get all excited over this. She has
been doing that for the past three years, being
the runner up three years ago and then the
winner for the past two years.” Markus said with
a smirk, though anyone could detect how proud
he felt while talking about his mother.
“She is so cool!! Being the CEO of ‘Purple’ and
still getting involved personally in each design
shows how hardworking she is.” Kizy said, truly
admiring Mary.
“Yes. She is truly determined and hardworking.
You should do the same with your job Kizy.
Women should always be independent.”
Grandma said.
“Is that why you left your job?” Grandpa asked,
chuckling a little.
“I left my job as there was no one to take care of
our house. Of course, you can’t just keep doing
your job while neglecting household
responsibilities.” Grandma said.
“Yes yes. You are always correct my dear.”
Grandpa said in an affectionate tone, knowing
how much each member of the Evans family
has worked to reach the position they are
enjoying today.
“So grandma used to work outside before? What
was your job?” Kizy asked curiously.
“I was your grandpa’s PA.” Grandma said,
smiling.
Kizy was astonished, and looked at Markus
wide eyed, as if confirming it from him. In
return, Markus just nodded his head.
“That is why I feel as if I am reliving my younger
days when I see you both working the same
jobs we did in our youth.” Grandma said.
Kizy nodded her head, as if understanding what
grandma meant.
Soon the breakfast was served and four of them
were having their food while talking about
various matters.
“Wait I have an idea!!” Suddenly Kizy shouted in
between, shocking the rest of the three
members.
“What is it, child?” Grandpa asked gently.
“Should we go and surprise mother in country
A? We will stay there and cheer her on for her
competition while we can also enjoy it as our
family time or maybe a family trip!!” Kizy said
excitedly.
Markus immediately slapped his forehead, not
knowing that the normally cold Kizy would
become excited at such small things.
“That’s such a great idea Kizy!! Anyways we
have never gone to support Mary. And I know
that even though she acts all cool and savage,
she will truly love being surprised by all of us.”
Grandma said, ignoring Markus’s reaction.
“You agree with it?” Kizy asked, surprised at
grandpa and grandma being supportive of her.
“Of course.” Grandpa said before turning
towards Markus.
“You cancel all your upcoming meetings for this
week or let Joel handle it. Go and pack luggage
for both of you.” Grandpa ordered Markus.
“Why should I pack her stuff? In fact, shouldn’t
the wife be the one packing for both herself and
her husband?” Markus asked, dumbfounded at
his grandpa’s statement.
“And isn’t the husband the one who takes care
of her and treats her gently. A perfect husband
is someone who never lets his wife do extra
chores and help her out as much as possible?”
Grandma said, her voice showing her irritation.
“Grandma? Like seriously?” Markus asked,
disbelieved.
“Of course!! If you are going to carry such
narrow thoughts even after our teachings, then
this is how I am supposed to talk to you.”
Grandma reprimanded him.
“Grandma it’s ok. I can pack for myself.” Kizy
said.
“No. Let him do this. Anyways, I am already
angry at him.” Grandma said.
“Now what did I do?” Markus asked confusedly,
not knowing what he had done to piss his
grandmother so much.
“You have been married for how many
months?” Grandma asked.
“Almost eight and half months.” Markus
answered sincerely.
“Exactly. That’s what I am angry about!!”
Grandma said in an annoyed tone.
“What’s so wrong about being married for eight
months?” Markus exclaimed.
“Brat, she means you have been married for
eight months, yet you didn’t plan your couple
trip.” Grandpa said, trying to hint at grandma’s
point.
“Aren’t we going on a family trip? Isn’t it better
than some random couple’s trip?” Markus
asked, still confused about what was wrong
with his grandparents.
“Is a family trip and honeymoon the same for
you??!!” Grandpa shouted, not expecting his
own grandson to be so dense.
“Cough.. cough… Honeymoon??!!” Kizy who
had been sipping her soup peacefully choked
on it.
‘Was this brat not dumb enough? Why is Kizy
acting the same? Are they trying to compete for
the best ‘high-IQ-low-EQ’ couple?’ Grandma
thought, not knowing whether she should laugh
or cry at the pair.
“Yes child.” Though grandma thought like that,
she still smiled and replied.
“We can plan that next time. Let’s just go with
the initial plan of the family trip this time.” Kizy
said awkwardly.
Grandpa and grandma gave each other an
understanding look before grandpa said.
“Okay as you say. But we will be having one
more member along with us for the family trip.”
Grandpa said.
“Who is it?” Kizy asked with a confused
expression.
“You’ll know that soon.” Grandpa said.
“Uh Huh.. ok.” Kizy said while nodding.
“I think you both should go back to the office
and work till evening. Then we can take a night
flight for country A.” Grandpa said.
Kizy looked at Markus, as if asking for his
opinion, and he nodded at her.
“We will do as you say, grandpa.” Kizy said
politely.
Soon both of them left for office while grandma
and grandpa watched them from behind,
affection visible in their eyes.
“What do you think? Who would be the extra
member for our family trip?” Kizy asked Markus
in the car.
“That’s a secret.” Markus said, smirking.
“Wait a minute. Does that mean you already
know the person?” Kizy asked in a surprised
tone.
“Of course. In fact I was the one who had asked
that person to accompany us.” Markus daid
mysteriously.
“Who is it?” Kizy asked, curious to know the
identity of this person.
“As if I would tell you.” Markus said, his devilish
smirk was pasted on his face as usual.
“Boss we are here.” Joel announced and both
Markus and Kizy climbed down the car, entering
the office building instead of their usual
elevator no. 1.
“Why are we taking this route?” Kizy asked.
“To remind people that you will always be their
ladyboss.” Markus said.
As soon as both of them entered the 1st floor,
all the employees stood up, wishing Markus and
Kizy
“They truly look so good together.”
“Miss Kizy is still working, even after being
engaged to such a wealthy man. This shows
her independent personality.”
“So do we start with the next level PDA now?”
“Wow both of them are wearing the same colors
– couple goals!!”
“She literally looked like a goddess yesterday.”
“And boss, the only male god exists on this
earth.”
All the employees started whispering amongst
each other, but there was one thing common. All
of them were praising this couple.
The initial criticism that both of them had faced
for the previous months was nowhere seen.
“Today I announce that Miss Kizy will resume
her position. Let’s welcome her back with a
round of applause.” Markus said and started
clapping with the rest of the crowd.
“Welcome back Miss Kizy!!”
“Good to see you back.”
“You were awesome Miss Kizy!”
“Live long boss and Miss Kizy.”
The people welcomed her cheerfully.
“Thank you for your warm wishes. Please take
care of me.” Kizy said politely, even bowing
before the employees sincerely.
‘She is so down to earth.’ All the employees
thought at the same time.
Both Markus and Kizy left for his office using
the elevator.
“What a show off!!” Markus said as soon as the
door to the elevator closed.
“I knew you would say that.” Kizy said
nonchalantly.
“Then why act like that?” Markus asked with a
smirk.
“That was something I did genuinely. Leave it, I
don’t want to ruin my day debating you.” Kizy
said, turning her face to the other side.
“Ruin your day? Isn’t it the other way round?”
Markus said.
“Yeah right. You’re ruining your day. That’s the
correct statement.” Kizy said, rolling her eyes.
“You.. you… just wait and watch.” Markus said
angrily, his cheeks puffing up.
‘Boss, young miss, at least pay attention to your
image. Bickering like small kids all the time.
Even in my presence!! Or do you not consider
me at all?’ Joel, who was standing behind the
couple, thought to himself.
And thus, for the entire day, Kizy had to work
without any breaks, a result of angering Markus
earlier.
“Don’t be so petty. I didn’t get to sit for even a
minute!!” Kizy said, pouting.
“Is this how a PA is supposed to talk with their
boss?” Markus asked with a smirk.
“Is this how a boss avenges himself? By
misusing their authority?” Kizy exclaimed.
“My company, my rules.” Markus said with a
cocky face.
“Let me call grandpa. We will see who this
company belongs to.” Kizy said, taking her
phone out.
“Okay, okay, wait. Have some rest. Do you have
to act so childish, complaining about such silly
things to grandpa?” Markus said, panicking a
little.
“That’s better.” Kizy said before going and
sitting back on the sofa.
‘Boss shocks young miss rocks!!’ Joel thought
to himself before leaving with the signed
documents.
Thus the entire day was spent with frequent
bickering, arguments and rare peaceful
moments, though they were truly rare.
Finally after a day full of work, Kizy and Markus
entered their car, tired enough to not argue with
each other.
Within fifteen minutes, they were back to Evans
mansion, as grandma had called them to visit
her before going back home and packing for
country A.
“Grandma, we are back!!” Kizy said
enthusiastically as soon as they entered.
“Oh child! You must be tired. Kitchen needs
fifteen more minutes to prepare the dinner. Till
then go back to your room and freshen up. Have
a nap, I’ll call you once the dishes are about to
be served.” Grandma said lovingly, hooking her
arm within Kizy’s, and walking ahead, while
Markus, who had entered along with Kizy, was
completely neglected, and made to stand
sulking at the door.
“Get inside. Nobody is gonna welcome you.”
Grandpa who saw this seen while exiting his
study spoke and went back to his room, a smile
seen on his face.
“I am now sure that I was adopted.” Markus said
to himself before dejectedly going towards his
room.
Both Kizy and Markus freshened up, before
resting on the bed, checking their cell phone and
laptop respectively.
“Kizy!! Markus!! Dinner is ready. Come down.”
Grandma shouted from the first floor.
Both of them quickly got up, and started
climbing down the stairs. But Kizy abruptly
stopped in her tracks, shocked after looking
down at the person sitting on the dining table.
