The Grey' brothers were dissatisfied at the decision of their little sister but nonetheless agreed to the meeting. A phone call went from Ryan to Lucius's secretary regarding the meeting.
A private cabin in a newly opened japanese restaurant was booked for their meeting at 3 PM that day.
The Grey' brothers along with Jack and Lily went to the hotel Royal Savoury owned by Sean. It was a seven star hotel where only rich could enter and was one of the top rated in the whole world.
They were at presently sitting in one of the VIP chambers on the private floor. This floor was something even a normal rich people cannot enter even if they can afford the price.
With a variety of dishes placed on the table, Amira's stomach grumbled and she started eating without waiting for others.
" No one's going to stole your food Lily!", Sean shot a dissatisfied look at Lily who was totally ignoring him. He was more than irritated with the flow of things that day.
Everyone except Sean ate their lunch peacefully. Soon after the desserts had been served Jack received a phone call reporting something was wrong and he went back to the company.
Ryan who also had to attend a meeting, arranged Sean to take Lily to the Japanese restaurant. With a defeated sigh Sean glanced at his sister who had a satisfied expression on her face and had been rubbing her stomach with her palms.
" All the girls I know limit their food intake in order to maintain a good figure. How come you eat a lot like a pig and gain no wait at all?", He asked with a wondering gaze.
Amira smirked at his question, " I should thank my lucky stars for giving such a perfect body. Eating without restraint is not anyone can do Sean"
" Yeah yeah. Just like a pig", he added. And before she can open her mouth, he continued his words, " By the way, what about your training?"
" Oh. That...I am wondering if I should continue employing my personal trainer. After all mom will not allow me involving in dangerous acts", she said while placing her elbow on the table and her head on the backside of hand.
"True. Mom will kill us if she knows that we allowed you to learn martial arts", he leaned back on the chair in a relaxing manner.
"Then I will go to the training grounds when I'm free and practice there", she half closed her eyes not forgetting the fact that he called her pig. She would definitely take her revenge.
And coming to the training, since she had already spent her teenage of her previous life to learn the ettique, piano, dance and many more ' lady attributes' , she was inclined towards learning things she had never thought she could, like martial arts training and going to underground competitions.
The experience she had gained from those competitions gave her new courage. The magical new life along with the loving family, everything felt like a dream to her. A dream from which she could wake up at anytime. A lingering fear had long been settled in her heart.
The fear that had been causing her night mares , had it's intensity increased the moment she heard about the marriage proposal. She suppressed the bitter feeling in her heart and stood up with a low smile.
" Let's get going, I'm sure my soon to be husband doesn't want to wait long", she said.
" Are you sure you wanna do this Lily? Even though they are powerful, it's not like we can't-" he was cut off by Amira " I know Sean. Let's first see how he reacts ,okay?" , She grabbed his arm with a smile.
Seeing the grim expression still not leaving his face, she tugged at his clothes. His expression softened and they both walked out of the chamber with her still holding his arm.
A pair of handsome man and beautiful woman with red hair and expensive clothes that addded a touch of charm to their beauty attracted much attention. The similarities between them made it easy for others to know they were siblings.
As the pair had reached the entrance door, they noticed a commotion not far away from them. Being the owner, he couldn't just ignore it when the security guards had been involved.
So when his secretary had went to fetch the car , he along with Lily went to see what's wrong. There was a young lady pleading the guards with a pain stricken look.
From distance, she appeared to have been running with disheveled hair and clothes. A frown made it's way on his handsome face while Lily beside him had an expressionless look.
While the young woman's face was clear in view, their faces had a surprised scowl. Looking at the familiar face with a horrified look, Amira couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
The woman is Maira William, the heiress of JW Industries. Her elder brother who was a best friend and classmate of Sean , had choosen military services over the position as the heir of JW Industries dealing steel and iron.Unfortunately, he died while dealing with the terrorists.
Now the big question in Amira's mind was why Maira is in such a state. Sean who moved first dealt with the guards and took of his jacket and draped it around Maira's shoulders. Maira flinched with even such a small gesture.
Amira looked at the terrified young lady and reached out to hold her hand and comforted her. When the woman relaxed a little, Sean ordered his secretary to take the lady to a restroom and give her a dress and then to drop her by the restaurant they were going to.
Soon a young waitress escorted Maira inside.
Even though they were worried, they had to reach the restaurant on time. So he grabbed the car keys from his secretary and drove the car to their destination.
______________________________________
Upon reaching their destination, Sean parked the car and went along with his sister in to the restaurant.
They both were worried about Maira because of the state she had appeared before them. But Amira had a very important issue before her, so she cleared her mind and went into the reserved cabin leaving Sean in the lobby.
Sean called for the manager and went into another private cabin while thinking about the previous incident.
Upon entering the spacious cabin which was as big as a room, Amira was greeted by a professional waiter. As she walked towards the table, she saw a man with neatly styled black hair and black tailored suit pants and white shirt . He had been looking at his phone with a face without any emotions, just as she was about to reach the table, the man sensed her arrival.
He raised his head and gave her a small smile, "Miss Lilian, please" , he put his phone on the table and signalled her to sit. Amira sat in the chair across his, " Mr. Knight", she greeted him but not with his first name making her cold attitude obvious.
Both of them just stared at each other without any word. His dark eyes bore into hers with strong intensity.
As they sat near the window, sunlight pouring into the room made his tan skin glow and with the addition of the bulging muscles that were shown by the tight fitting shirt, he was brimming with confidence. The type that bastards usually have when they think that the world revolves around them. Or so she thought.
He was handsome and particularly her type. But looking at his face, she could only think of the family that was destroyed by him when Lilian was here. Her lips were slightly raised.
The smile on her lips didn't reach her eyes. They were as cold as ever. His handsome face contained a playful smirk but the emotions swirling in those dark eyes were indecipherable.
Both of them know well that they were hiding their true nature behind those fake smiles. The pair of dark blue eyes stared coldly at the pair of dark black eyes, the eyes she couldn't read even a little bit of what was hidden beneath them.
Even after trying to read them for four times, she still failed.
This situation where they were staring at eachother without admitting defeat made her feel a sense of deja vu. Yes the first meeting of them.
