Saved by love

Kyle sighed lightly and poured himself a drink. He could be funny in front of everyone, make dubious jokes, be the womanizer that everyone knew, but once alone, locked in his apartment in the middle of nowhere, he became himself again . He was this Kyle who was so fragile and so alone who needed attention. He hated his life, this life which forced him every day to be what he was not during the day and to become again what he was in the coldness of his apartment. He walked towards the bay windows and encountered only vegetation, no soul living nearby.

Kyle had always led this lone wolf life, he liked to be alone without company, without anyone to dictate his behavior. He aspired to something whose exact definition he himself did not know, perhaps what his friend Alexander was experiencing. His phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.

- Justin, what a pleasure to hear you.

His friend huffed on the other end of the line. His friends tended to get annoyed by his behavior without knowing that it was the only way for him to forget his sad life. Not that Kyle lacked financial means, he was an excellent lawyer and was the head of a large law firm and owned several other businesses, Kyle had no one to share everything he owned with. Justin had his nanny and also her son. As for Alexander, he had his cousin and now his wife and two children. And Kyle didn't have anyone, it's true his friends were there for him but they had their own lives.

- Kyle, are you there? his friend asked him.

He sighed.

- Yes, I'm here Justin, I'm listening to you.

He walked over to the Couch and sat down. He was the lawyer for his two best friends and he was the one who handled their cases.

- I'm going back to New York next week, I wanted to know if everything was ready.

- Don't worry Justin, this Zack Gordon will be leaving the hotel shortly, I'll take care of it. Kyle replied, running a hand through his hair.

- Thanks Kyle, see you later.

He hung up and began to pace around his apartment, his friend had just recovered his hotel after several battles and he was responsible for putting everything back in place before his arrival. He put down his glass and headed to his room, took a shower and went to bed. The next day, he hurried to the hotel. He arrived there in a few minutes and entered the Entrance Hall. All attention was turned towards him. It must be said that Kyle loved drawing attention to himself, especially from women, but since he saw this young brunette woman everything had changed. He wanted at all costs to attract her attention but she seemed not to notice him. He rushed into the elevator hoping to meet her.

Roxana pushed her cart, wondering how long she would do this job. She had always wanted to be a doctor but life had decided otherwise, she did this job hoping to save money to take courses. She was heading towards one of the rooms when the elevator opened to reveal someone she didn't want to see all day.

"Not him," she whispered.

- I heard you, replied Kyle, approaching her in a nonchalant manner.

- Mr. Cyrus, what a pleasure to see you, she said ironically.

Kyle smiled widely and put his hands in his pockets.

- Usually I'm the one who gets ironic but you have to do it once. My tender and sweet Roxana , I am happy to see you this morning and it is sincere.

She rolled her eyes. It's true that he didn't have a good reputation, he was known to be an inveterate seducer.

- Sorry but no one is working, she said before grabbing her cart ready to leave.

But Kyle holds her by the arm.

"You know my invitation to dinner still stands," he whispered hoarsely.

- I am..

- Kyle my darling, finally I found you, I looked for you everywhere, called out a blonde.

Roxana took the opportunity to slip away. How annoying he was, always in the company of young women, each one more false than the last. She wondered what he found in them. For some reason this exasperated him .

- What do you want Trish.

She approached him and gave him a kiss on the mouth but he slowly pushed her away.

- Listen Trish I appreciate this time we spent together but it's time to say goodbye. He told him.

She suddenly became hysterical.

- You mean it's over? You're dropping me like a sock, aren't you?

- I think you understood, dear, so goodbye.

He left her standing in the middle of the corridor and went looking for the beautiful Roxana .

Roxana had finished cleaning the room and decided to go get Olivia. They had been friends for two years now and were inseparable. Roxana loved him very much and it was mutual. She found her in the locker room wearing her uniform.

- Olivia, you're late.

She turned around and noticed her dark circles under her eyes. Her friend wasn't getting enough sleep because she was constantly having nightmares after what she had experienced.

- Sorry darling I forgot that you had trouble sleeping but hurry up before the snow queen finds you here. Roxana continued .

- Thank you Roxy , you are a true friend, Olivia said to her, hugging her.

She left her and left the locker room because she had a lot of things to do. She met Kyle again and as always he had his smirk on his lips.

- See you again, he said.

Roxana huffed in exasperation. He wasn't giving up on that one.

- It's rather you who follow me everywhere, she pointed out to him.

She was right, he followed her everywhere but she pushed him away and he wasn't used to being told no. The more she pushed him away, the more he was attracted to her.

- You have not always responded to my invitation, I am still waiting for the response.

- There is no other answer to give because it is always no. NO, no.

She left him there and walked away. Kyle preferred to let her go. This young woman had something different from all those he had known. He found himself liking it.

- This is what we will see dear little Roxana , This is what we will see...

Sitting at the hotel bar, Kyle sipped his glass of whiskey in peace while thinking about how to conquer the beautiful Roxana .

-Robert?

The bartender turned to him.

- Yes, Mr. Cyrus, replied the latter.

Kyle placed his glass down on the bar counter and huffed lightly.

- Do you think I'm repulsive? he asked.

The bartender smiled at this man who was asking him a question that was strange to say the least.

- No sir, I don't think so. My daughter Emma says you are one of the top 10 most handsome men in America.

Kyle gave a cocky smile. He had been ranked among the most handsome men on the American continent and this did not displease him.

- Yes, just after Justin and Alexander. I wonder why I'm not at the top of the rankings.

- I don't know that, sir, but my daughter finds you the most attractive, replied the bartender, filling his glass which was empty.

"Your daughter has a good eye," Kyle said, taking a sip of his drink. How old is she?

The bartender glared at him. Kyle raised his hands in a peace sign.

- Don't worry Robert, I won't touch her.

The bartender served another customer and resumed his work.

- I don't understand why she doesn't like me, I do everything but she doesn't even notice me.

- Who are you talking about, sir? asked the bartender.

- Nobody Robert, I thought out loud.

Kyle finished his drink and was about to leave when the bartender stopped him.

- Whoever it is, I would advise you to give them flowers, women love that. The bartender told him.

-Thank you Robert.

He left, reconsidering what the bartender had told him. He took out his cell phone and called a flower company. This was not in his habit but after all there is a first time for everything.

Roxana had, after a long time of work, decided to take a well-deserved break. She was going to get something to eat when Harper, a receptionist came to her with a flower delivery man all smiling.

- Roxy , this young man has a package for you.

- Thanks Harper.

The receptionist gave him a warm smile before disappearing.

- Are you Roxana Gonzalez? asked the delivery man.

- Yes, it's definitely me, she replied.

- It's for you, please sign it.

She signed and the delivery man handed her the bouquet of tulips, her favorite flowers. The delivery man was leaving when she stopped him.

- Wait.

- Yes, miss?

- Who is it from?

The delivery man gave him an apologetic look.

- He did not want to give us his identity but there is a card that accompanies the flowers.

She looked at the bouquet and saw that there was exactly one card.

- Thank you very much.

- I'll take it from you, miss.

Once the delivery man left, she unfolded the card:

<< For the most beautiful flowers in the world, signed KC>>

- No, but I don't believe it.

She stormed off and arrived in front of Kyle's office or at least the principal's office that Kyle occupied, she opened the door without knocking. She saw him sitting regally in the armchair, phone to his ear. He motioned for her to sit down and continued his call as he stood up. Roxana wouldn't admit it but Kyle Cyrus was incredibly beautiful. He had jet-black hair that he took the time to style carefully, an imposing build and impressive musculature that he highlighted with his half-buttoned shirts highlighting a light fleece. He had a sharp-cut face and strong jaws, a devastating smile that would melt more than one person, and the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Kyle Cyrus had two magnificent sea blue eyes which when he smiled tended to take on the color of the sea. In a word, Kyle Cyrus was virility and beauty made flesh and the most annoying thing was that he knew it and didn't hesitate to use it.

- Yes I know, I'm a true masterpiece , they call me the Apollon of modern times, Kyle told him as he sat down.

She realized that she had gone far in her contemplation and that he had noticed it given her arrogant and proud smile.

- What is this sensational entry worth to me? asked this one.

Roxana decided to calm down. He had caught her looking at him and if she wasn't careful he was going to use it to destabilize her.

"I came for that," she replied, placing the flowers on the table.

Kyle just shrugged.

- I don't see what's wrong with these flowers, I even think they're magnificent but not as much as you.

- Don't act innocent, I know you're behind this whole circus. She replied, getting up.

Kyle got up in turn, he lingered on her pretty pink lips that he dreamed of kissing now. She noticed him and looked away.

- Maybe you think I would be stupid to throw myself into your arms just for a simple bouquet?

- They're tulips and from what I know they symbolize love, Kyle told him proudly as he sat down.

She smiled back at him, raising her chin in a proud manner.

- that's generally speaking, sir. These are yellow and they are considered a declaration of hopeless love, or a message of joy or even a symbol of the sun. You missed it.

Kyle didn't let go of his eternal smile, he stood up again and leaned on the desk.

- I don't care about these stupid meanings anyway. I just wanted to reiterate my dinner invitation.

Roxana smiles in turn, bringing her face closer.

- And I reiterate my answer Mr. Cyrus, it's still no.

She stood up completely and headed towards the door. She stopped and went to the trash can.

- This is what I do with your miserable flowers, she said to him, brandishing them.

She opened the trash can and threw them in, then with a smile she went out and slammed the door with a loud bang .

Left alone, Kyle stared at the door for a moment before his phone brought him back to earth.

- Justin, what joy? he replied ironically.

- I love you too Kyle. He replied. But let's just call you to tell you that I'm finally coming home tomorrow. I decided to sort everything out as quickly as possible.

"You're the boss," Kyle replied before hanging up.

He began to pace around the office nervously, but his phone rang again.

- Justin, I thought we were done.

- Kyle, you're the one who hung up on me. What is it?

- Everything is fine Justin, everything is fine I assure you, replied Kyle.

- If you say so. I just wanted to have a suite prepared for my arrival, can you do that for me? asked his friend.

Kyle earlier saw an opportunity to see Roxana again And to make her pay for her insolence.

- Of course yes, your suite will be ready before you arrive. Kyle replied as he headed towards the exit.

- That's perfect, thank you Kyle.

He put his phone away after hanging up. And walked confidently towards the employee canteen.

-Both of us, Roxana .

Kyle arrived at the employee canteen and found her sitting with a young blond man who didn't seem to be chatting. Mad with rage, he crept closer and arrived in a few strides.

"Sorry to bother you," he said gruffly.

They turned to him.

- Mr. Cyrus, what a pleasure to see you again? She muttered.

Kyle glared at the young man who seemed to be nervous all of a sudden. He got up ready to leave but Roxana held him back.

- Where are you going Eddy? she asked the young blond man.

- I think Mr. Cyrus has something to tell you. The young man pointed out to him.

- But we haven't finished eating.

- Soon Roxy , he replied apologetically.

He left without a backward glance. It was better not to have any problems with Kyle Cyrus, the whole hotel knew he was friends with the new owner and everyone wanted to keep their job. Roxana glared at him but he didn't care. He pulled out the chair and sat down, smiling almost victoriously.

- It seems that your suitor is a coward, he said , taking a fry from his plate.

- Can we know what you're doing here? she asked defensively.

- Calm down darling, I just came to ask you to go and prepare the big suite, the new owner is arriving tomorrow and he wants everything to be impeccable.

Roxana stared at him for a long time, he could feel the exasperation in her eyes. She smiled and challenged him with a look.

- Sorry sir to disappoint you but the one who takes care of this suite exclusively is my best friend, Olivia. Check with her. She replied, getting up.

Kyle got up in turn and held her by the arm, she didn't even try to resist.

"I want it to be you and no one else," he said bluntly.

- Sorry to disappoint you but the hotel has very specific rules and I'm not going to break them because of a pretentious person like you.

Her friend arrived at that moment.

- ah here she is, let me introduce you to Olivia, she is the one who takes care of this suite, as for me I have something to do, see you later Mr. Cyrus.

She left it there and walked away without a glance at him. Kyle grumbled inwardly before turning to Olivia. She was stunningly beautiful but the only one he was interested in was Roxana .

- So Olivia, your friend told me that you were the one who took care of the luxurious suite? he asked her.

- Yes, exactly, she replied.

- I want you to take care of it for tomorrow.

- Good sir.

He left quickly, he had an appointment with a real estate agent. He left the hotel and got into his car.

Roxana entered the locker room in a fury and huffed in exasperation. This man always pissed her off.

- Roxy , cried her friend, rushing in.

She turned around and saw that she was nervous.

- What's wrong Olivia? she asked worriedly.

Her friend huffed and sat on the bench in the locker room, she joined her.

- It's you that I should ask, said her friend. Why did you speak to him in that tone?

Roxana got up and began to slowly pace around the room.

- This guy exasperates me, because he's a friend of the new boss, he thinks he's entitled to anything.

Her friend got up in turn and placed a hand on her shoulder.

- Roxy , I know you're impulsive but this job allows us to survive, I don't want to be fired. Her friend said softly to her.

- I know Olivia, but everything will be fine. Just because he's a friend of the owner doesn't mean he has to make life difficult for us. Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Her friend hugged her before leaving her alone. She waited several minutes before resuming her work, she shouldn't leave her habits for an idiot.

Kyle parked in front of the building where he had an appointment with the real estate agent. This one was waiting for him at the foot of the building. He went down and joined him.

- Sorry Mr. Winslow, I'm a little late. He said to the agent, shaking his hand.

- It doesn't matter, Mr. Cyrus. He replied, smiling.

They entered the building together, his friend Justin had decided to buy an entire building without a soul to live in alone. He hated prying neighbors, Kyle wondered why it was up to him to look after Justin was a real estate agent and owned the largest real estate agency in the world. Well, Justin was Justin and he had some pretty weird preferences. This was the fifth building he had visited and he hoped it was the right one.

- The hall of the building is quite large, the building has forty floors, with one apartment on each floor, each apartment has at least four bedrooms, there are some that have more than four bedrooms, the agent began .

The visit to the premises took them at least two hours because they had to visit all the apartments. It was very excessive of Justin to rent an entire building to occupy only one apartment. When the visit was over, Kyle decided to sign, it corresponded exactly to Justin's requirements.

- SO ? asked the agent.

- Prepare the necessary papers, I'm buying, replied Kyle.

The real estate agent thanked him warmly and arranged to meet him that evening for the signing. He left the building and got into his car, he was about to drive off when he received a call from Alexander, he connected the phone to the headphones before answering.

- Alexander, finally you deign to call me, he said, turning on the ignition.

- Kyle, always so friendly, replied his friend on the other end of the phone.

Kyle smiled at this remark, it must be said that he could be exasperating often.

- Okay, let's move on, Alysson wanted to talk to you, continued his friend. I'll pass it on to you.

A short moment passed before he heard Alysson's voice.

- Hello dear brother-in-law, he heard on the other end of the line.

He stretched his smile even wider.

- Hello to you too dear sister-in-law, what a pleasure to hear from you and it is sincere, he replied.

- I know, but I'm calling you because I need your legal services.

- You know for you I am always available, you just have to ask.

He heard her breathe on the other end of the line and waited for her to speak.

- I want you to be my lawyer during a trial. I heard that you are the best in employer-employee lawsuits, I want you to help me lock up one of my employees who tried to ruin my business. Can you?

- Of course yes dear beautiful.

- Thank you Kyle, I will send you the file.

He took off the headphones after hanging up. Not wanting to return to the hotel, he decided to go home. He had unfinished business.
