Chapter 23: His first love.

Kyra, who was leisurely sipping her coffee, almost choked.

Why is she not aware that her art is being presented in this charity event?? Her manager did inform her but she was in a hurry, getting ready for work and forgot to ask where that charity event was being hosted.

She thought she could ask this evening but it seems like there is no need for it.

"Passion? You mean the mysterious painter who surfaced last year and created a storm in the arts world with her unique talent," Ron asked.

"It looks like you are not totally a waste. Yes, the same artist. My idol," Teresa said with a huge grin.

"You are acting like the artist is coming here personally. What does it have to do with your looks? Don't you think you are being dramatic?"Claire asked.

"Oh, sorry! I forgot that you are queen of dramas", Claire adde with a sardonic smile.

"You-", Teresa controlled herself. She can't go against Claire and Ron because they are the best fellow's here and the doctor's here love them. As someone new, Teresa and Lilith know that they can't attack these both directly, verbally or mentally.

"It's not only that. Dr. Oliver Miller will be coming to the event as well", Lilith said.

"And, bringing partners is a must," Ron added, showing the webpage of their official website.

"So, you are expecting Dr. Oliver Miller to ask you?"Ron laughed.

"We all know that he comes to these types of events with his sister as his partner," he added.

"His sister went to Europe on some company business," Teresa beamed.

"Oh," Claire and Ron spoke at the same time.

Now, they are worried.

Who would be the next victim of Teresa, Lilith and other fan club members?

They could only pray that it wouldn't be someone from the hospital. Otherwise, that person's life would be hell from the very next day of the charity event.

"Who would it be other than me? My dad said he will make sure to get Oliver as my date for that night," Tersa proudly said.

"Call him Dr. Oliver Miller or Dr. Miller, Teresa! He is not your date yet!" Ron warned her.

"I will be Mrs. Miller. So keep your filthy mouth shut!" Teresa warned Ron before storming out of the room.

"I don't know what that bitch would do if she finds out Dr. Oliver once had a lover whom he loved so much," Ron whispered to Claire.

"Really?", Claire asked, surprised.

"Yes. It was before you joined this hospital. I heard from my seniors five years back about Dr. Miller's love life," Ron grinned.

"What happened later? Why did they break up?" Claire asked, assuming that the couple broke up. It's been five years and there was no news about engagement or wedding. So, she could only come to the assumption that they broke up.

"I don't know what happened but it was the girl who broke up with him. Our sir was in so much love that he was mentally disturbed and had to take a three months break and attend therapy", Ron spilled out all the information.

"Wow! I didn't expect him to be such a soft hearted person. He must have loved her so much", Calire whispered back, pitying Oliver.

"He changed later. He keeps women away from him because of this reason. I am sure Dr. Miller won't accept Teresas's father's request.", Ron said, sighing.

"That crazy woman might go insane," Claire agreed.

Their eyes shifted to Kyra who was busy texting someone.

"What happened?" she asked. She gave up listening to their bicker for a long time. She was messaging her manager to send all the information related to this event.

Before they could answer, the wall clock started emitting the bell sound, indicating that it's time to work. The night shift is finished and these people have to take the work now.

Meanwhile, Oliver was having a headache.

"Should I really attend, uncle?", he asked his Godfather, who is also the president of the hospital.

"This charity event is hosted by your family, Oliver. Your grandfather will get angry if neither you nor your sister attend. That man's wrath is tough to handle," the president answered with a chuckle.

"Why should everyone bring a companion, uncle? Is it my grandfather?", Oliver asked, massaging his forehead.

"Yeah. I think your grandfather is trying to set up a blind date for you using this excuse. I can't help in this matter," his uncle said, lifting his hands up.

"He doesn't listen to me no matter how many times I tell him I don't want to get married," Oliver complained.

His Godfather, Albert is like a father to him and he shares everything with him. So, he mostly knows everything about Oliver.

"He wants you to move on from your first love, Oliver. Are you still thinking about her...hmm?" Albert asked.

"I moved on from her five years ago, uncle. It wasn't that tough and I don't think about her but the foolish emotions I had for her back then. I don't don't remember her face as well and right now, all I wanted to do is to focus on my career," Oliver said.

"So, you are not going to marry? Never?" Albert asked, concern filled in his eyes.

"I don't know. I will let nature take its course. If I really meet someone who gives me the feeling of true love, I will surely get into a relationship with her. If I am really destined to meet her, I will. So, no hurry, okay!" Oliver answered. Seriously, who wants to die in loneliness? He doesn't want that!!

"Then you better go with your grandfather's arrangements. Take one of those spoiled princesses and dump them after the event. Simple." His uncle suggested.

"I will ask my sister Nora to come and accompany me instead," Oliver said.

"I think she won't be able to come back. Your grandfather was a step ahead of you. As soon as she reached London he allotted her a lot of work in the sub branch. She has to help her friend recover from her bankruptcy as well. Don't expect help from her." his uncle said,

"I have someone in my mind already then," Oliver said without hesitation.

"Who?" Albert asked, really excited.

He actually wanted to ask him to take Kyra with him but that would not be appropriate as they don't know each other well.

Besides this, Kyra might not agree as well. She hates to take a male companion with her except for her brother's and sometimes Matthew.

"Kyra of course. Dr. Ria if we use her fake resume." Oliver answered.

"What!" Albert asked, shocked.

He didn't expect he would willingly take Kyra as his partner especially after finding out that her name is 'Kyra', the same name as his first love.
