Tears welled up in her eyes. You dont understand. Tyrone hates me, my mother despises me, and my fathers gone Horace, youre all I have left! Ive waited for you all these years. Do you really want to leave me alone for the rest of my life?
Horace swallowed hard. He had come here determined to sever all ties with Kira, But now, seeing the sorrow in her eyes, he couldnt bring himself to be so heartless.
Kira once had a relationship with Horace and knew he was easily swayed by emotions. Hadnt Rita managed to sleep with him by constantly playing the victim in front of him?
Kira seized the moment, wiped her tears, and said, Horace, I understand your concerns. Im not asking you to divorce her. Ive just been lonely for so long. If you could spend some time with me, Id be more than happy!

How lonely it should be to be alone in a foreign country for decades.
Horace sighed and took Kiras hand. Alright.
Horace? You agree? Thats wonderful! I knew you wouldnt leave me alone! Kiras face lit up with sheer joy. Now that she had started this, she could push Rita out little by little!
Kira sneered inwardly, Just wait and see, Rita! And Sabrina!

Horace was about to respond when he heard a familiar voice behind him. Horace? Hadnt you gone to the office? Who is this?
Startled by the voice, Horace quickly pulled his hand back, stood up, and saw Rita approaching. Why are you here? he asked, his surprise poorly masked.
Horace felt an urge to blame her for showing up unexpectedly while he was secretly meeting an old lover.
Rita waved her phone innocently. I asked Sabrina to go shopping with me, but she hasnt arrived yet. I saw you through the window and thought Id say hi Is this your client?
Kira looked at Rita with a smug, challenging expression. I am she began, but Horace interrupted her. Yes, this is Ms. Blakely, a client from the branch company.
Kira was left speechless, silenced by Horaces sudden shift.
Horace shot Kira a warning glance, and Kira lowered her head, saying nothing.
Rita smiled. Well, then I wont get in the way.
Okay, Horace replied.
Before leaving, Rita suddenly stood on tiptoe and kised Horace on the cheek. Good morning, honey, she said cheerfully.
Kira stiffened at the sight, her face twisting with a mix of shock and anger.
Rita raised her eyebrows, shot Kira a meaningful look, and walked away elegantly in her high heels.
That glance left Kira with the uneasy feeling that Rita might know about her recent conversation with Horace.
But Kira soon dismissed this thought. Ritas current position in the Fowler family depended entirely on Horace. If Rita were aware of any potential divorce, she wouldnt have left so calmly.
Watching Rita leave the cafe, Kira turned to Horace and asked, Take a seat. Why stand here?
Horace shook his head and said, Ive got to handle some other business, so I need to leave now. Rita had mentioned going shopping with Sabrina. If Sabrina saw him with Kira, it would be awkward for everyone.
