Zain
"She is addictive because she possesses a pure heart and a dirty mind."
➽───────────────❥
THE EFFECT OF champagne had somewhat started to get to Zain. After three glasses it was bound to happen since he had a low tolerance to the drink. Although, Kiara didn't show any sign of dizziness. Zain was intrigued by it, for sure.
Zain lost count of the number of people Kiara had introduced him to, more if they had interrupted the couple's solitude by starting a meaningless conversation with them. It seemed that Kiara was quite popular among them. He expected no less because he knew Kiara was the best.
They had even managed to avoid the unwanted presence of Damien and Nikita. In fact, Zain hadn't seen them since their last encounter.
"Okay, people! Now is the time you were all waiting for! The dresses will be in display for you and every penny you spend on it will be donated to make the lives of these children better." Zain hears Damien say as the attention of everyone in the hall turn to him.
Everyone stops their conversation, their focus on the stage. Dozens of lovely children gather on the stage, holding on to each other's hand and smiling innocently. Zain felt his heart warm by the sight - he simply adored kids.
Soon enough, the auction started, models walking on the stage to showcase the designs on display. The dresses were dazzling for sure and one could tell by the money that was being raised by the crowd around them.
But Kiara didn't bat an eye. It was like she didn't care about what was on display.
"Aren't you going to bid?" Zain asks, confused.
Kiara simply looks at him and smiles.
"You don't need to buy a dress to donate. I will make my donation at the end by writing a check. The dresses are nice but then, I have seen better. My designers at my company are my pride and I only wear what they design. I think buying other designer's clothes will be an insult to them. That's all. But ya, if I do find one that truly amazes me then nothing can stop me from getting it." Kiara replies.
Zain is glad about her reply, she was really something else. She treated her juniors with the utmost respect and no wonder she is so successful today. She can be cold when she wants to be, but her heart is gold.
The show ends continues, expensive-looking dresses being displayed one after the other. Zain's eyes soon enough drift to Kiara who sits next to him with her head on his shoulder. The sweet smell of rose engulfs him and he doesn't complain even if he feels like his hand is going numb from being in the same position for so long. He loves the proximity between him and Kiara.
As soon as the auction ends, Kiara gets up.
"Come on, we should meet the kids and make a donation," she says.
Zain nods and takes his hand in hers as they walk towards the smiling kids. Kiara lets go of his hand as soon as they approach the kids, running to join them.
"Hey guys!" she greets them with the most beautiful smile.
The kids smile back as they approach to shake hands with her. Instead, Kiara hugs them - chuckling at their cute faces. Soon enough, they surround her, all gazing at the pretty lady, as they call her, showering them with love.
"And I am Zack, nice to meet you." a boy around seven or eight greets Kiara.
Kiara bends down and hugs him too.
