LOVE AND SACRIFICE (Love And Sacrifice)
CHAPTER 22

Flint looked at Kaylee with eyes hard to decipher. The man had moved to his seat.

In such a way that makes Kaylee spontaneously tighten the cream-colored shirt crate as the interior of the off-white blazer that he is wearing today. While the long hair is allowed to decompose. As an accessory Kaylee added a famous brand scarf to her neckline. More precisely, the scarf to cover the red signs that are clearly still visible due to the actions of Flint that night.

"Ehem!"

A voice came out of the man's mouth.

"What do you want to see me? Sit down" Flint said, letting Kaylee sit down in front of him. Flint's baritone voice sounded warm in Kaylee's ears.

"Hm..I want to pay off the rest of the company's cash payments" Kaylee said slowly, handing Flint a check.

"You must have worked so hard that you could raise that kind of money to pay for all your father's debts in such a short time" Flint said.

Kaylee seemed to be replying. "Of course I work hard! Didn't you yourself demand that I immediately take responsibility for my father's actions that you consider to have harmed the master's company!", Kaylee said as she moved from her seat. "I thank you for hiring Papa in your company. I remember very well papa was very proud to work there" said Kaylee in a subtle satire aimed at the number one person in the company Gladwyn.

Flint nodded his head, smiling. "I admit you're a responsible independent girl, Kaylaa. I want to cooperate with you–"

Flint stopped his words when there was a knock on the door. The handsome man let in. Kaylee stood there in silence. The girl tried to digest Flint's words.

Roland and Tory entered the room.

"How is...Are you guys dealing?", asked Flint on both.

"Yes sir. Miss Tory guarantees that Miss Kaylaa Morgan will start working with Gladwyn holding company tomorrow".

"Roland's words obviously made Kaylee shocked not dumbfounded. "A-pa means Tory!"

Tory nodded her head. The woman smiled warmly at Flint. "Sorry gentlemen, Kaylaa and I have to talk. Excuse me" said Tory, hugging Kaylaa's slender waist.

Flint let them both go. The man's face smiled meaningfully as he stared fixedly at Kaylee's beautiful back that passed from before her.

"Tory. Of course I don't want to work with Flint. How can you do cooperation without telling me first", Kaylee said when the two were already in Tory's car.

"Alagain business! The money you think about! Without wanting to know what my opinion as a model would be working with Flint. Remember. That jerk almost raped me, Tory! Now then? Look.you're working with that bastard! Bravo. You guys deserve to work together. But not with me. I don't want to!"

Kaylee was so excited. Anger has taken hold of him.

Tory was silent at Kaylee's words.

"Please forgive me. I know you hate Mr. Flint. But this is all I do because of business. I can't refuse it".

Tory seemed to be breathing out.

"If you run an agency like me, you'd understand. One of the success of an agency is that if their students can work with large companies like Gladwyn. Your name will soar. You'll be more famous. Even your pay has been confirmed to increase. All of this was simply because Kaylee's business was nothing more. My advice is to act like your brother. You remember Adam Connelly, Kaylaa still cooperates with her company even though the man often teases her. Not once did Kaylaa accept the man's date. That's what I call professional".

Kaylee turned her face to look out the window. His feelings are still bad. Even when Tory told him to read the cooperation papers he was reluctant to do so.

"Kay... Actually I don't sell Kaylaa's apartment and car. I'm just mortgaging your brother's treasure".

Kaylee immediately turned her face. "What do you mean?"

"Kaylaa once told me that all her possessions would be yours when she was gone. He loves you very much. Kaylaa says you never travel, Kaylaa wants you to see the world. That's why I didn't follow your desire to sell Kaylaa's assets" Tory said.

Kaylee could only hear without saying a word.

"I also lost my brother. Sometimes we miss the presence of our loved ones, Kay. What I did was lock myself in my sister's room let go of my longing for her. I think there are times when you miss Kaylaa. Maybe by being in Kaylaa's apartment can treat your longing for her" said Tory slowly.

Kaylee lowered her face. Kaylaa's words about her are true. Kaylaa repeatedly took him on vacation but he always refused.

"You only signed a three-month contract with Gladwyn holding company, Kay. After that you are free. You can even be yourself. Because while working with Mr. Flint, he wants you to work only with his company. He even promised to pay all penalties to companies that had contracted Kaylaa. In three months you have a lot of money. You can pay off Kaylaa's debt and if you want, you can redeem your brother's apartment and car".

"Think about. It's all in your hands. We don't have much time. Mr. Flint asked for your answer tonight!"
