Chapter 261 261. It's Victor

Kizy opened her mouth, intending to speak, when suddenly grandpa interjected in between.

"Don't tell me you are here because I called Nicole? Isn't it?" Grandpa asked, or more like confirmed his doubt.

"Ummm.. You can say it that way. But I wanted to explain some things clearly, that is why I am here." Kizy said.

She, as usual, had left for her office an hour ago. She was working on her laptop when she received a call from Rose.

"Grandpa has called Nicole to their mansion." This was the only statement Rose had spoken when Kizy understood what would be happening.

"Okay. Thank you for informing, First sister." Kizy said and hung up the call.

And with that she rushed back to the mansion, only to be welcomed by this scene.

"Okay. Go ahead. I am all ears." Grandpa said before gesturing to Kizy to take a seat.

"The man you have seen in the advertisement with Nicole is indeed the man she loves." Kizy said, judging the expression of the older couple before resuming.

"We made him act on one condition, that is, his face as well as identity won't be revealed. Thus we can't expose him now." Kizy said.

But the curious couple wasn't going to sit back peacefully.

"But I had given her a time limit. And the time period has ended now. Nicole had promised me that she would tell me who the man is after three months." Grandpa reasoned.

"But grandpa-" Kizy was still trying to speak for Nicole when grandpa cut her off.

"No more buts, Kizy. I want her to settle down and find a perfect man for herself. I want to see her enjoying her married life the way you and Markus do. Is this too much to ask as a grandparent?" Grandpa said, his tone softening, making him seem more sad.

"Grandpa, I understand-" Kizy was still trying to salvage the situation when she was once again cut off, but this time it was Nicole who interrupted her.

"It's Victor." Nicole said, her head lowering.

Kizy who was looking at grandpa immediately turned toward Nicole, wide eyed at her sudden disclosure.

Nicole didn't wanted to do this, but she had already put Kizy into a lot of trouble till now. Thus she thought it was better to take it upon herself instead of making Kizy face the old duo.

On the other hand, Kizy had planned to stretch this act some more, buy some more time for Nicole, most probably till Markus returned, and then sort this out someway.

But Nicole's sudden act had made her unable to form any proper plan. She never expected her to reveal Victor's name, especially when she had hidden this entire scene from Victor.

Plus if grandpa or grandma were to visit her house and suddenly know who Victor was, she was sure to land into deep troubles.

Thus she was now racking her brains to come up with something to save both herself and Nicole out of this problem.

"Victor it is. Hmmm. Good that you have kept your promise. But what have you decided now?" Grandpa asked, a satisfied expression replacing his earlier sad one.

"What now? What do you mean grandpa?" Nicole asked, suddenly raising her head.

"Do you love him?" Grandpa asked, now his tone was serious.

"Y.. yes grandpa." Nicole tried to sound confident, but ended up stuttering.

"So what next? Have you confessed your feelings for him?" This time grandma asked, unable to remain calm like grandpa.

"Hehe grandma.. how can I be so direct? I need some time and preparation to do that." Nicole said, scratching her head.

"What do you mean? Of course, you are my granddaughter. You have to be direct in courting my grandson in law." Grandma said proudly.

Nicole literally choked on her own saliva after listening to grandma's statement.

"Child, have breakfast with us. It's been a long time since we had a meal together." Grandma said while turning towards Kizy, who was still thinking hard about the newly developed problem.

"Ummm.. grandma actually I left the office suddenly without notifying anyone. I still have two meetings to attend, one of them scheduled just half an hour later. Maybe I'll join you all some other time." Kizy said, not wanting to delay any meeting.

She had already planned her work for upcoming days with no break in between. If she were to postpone even a single meeting or some other work, her entire timetable would be disturbed. Therefore even if she wanted to, she could not do anything.

Grandma felt sad, looking at her granddaughter in law working so hard. She knew that Kizy didn't have to do anything out of this as 'Stardust' was a company built for many years now.

Even if she was to make continuous losses for the company, she would still have a luxurious life ahead.

Yet here she was, working day and night to strive for a position even higher than this.

Grandma turned to look at grandpa, signaling him something with his eyes.

Grandpa nodded before taking out his phone and typing something furiously, knowing that any later and his wife would grant him a death wish.

"If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Kizy said, turning towards grandpa.

"No, no. Wait a minute." Grandpa said while knowing that a certain someone was giving him a death glare.

Finally after a minute, a relieved smile appeared on grandpa's face.

"Don't worry about the meeting anymore. I will personally handle the meeting. Now have breakfast with us. No excuses." Grandpa said, giving a proud expression while looking towards grandma.

Grandma just nodded, giving silent approval to grandpa's method.

And though Kizy didn't show anything on her face, her heart felt something, something that she hadn't felt, or more appropriately something that she was avoiding to feel for the past few days.

"I will personally go and prepare something healthy for her. Just look how pale and thin she is looking." Grandma said while getting up, walking towards the kitchen.

"Grandma." Suddenly Kizy called out, making grandpa, grandma and Nicole look towards her.
