Chapter 59: Chapter Forty-Nine

LEO

Erwin recently found out about Ruth and John and he has been in an extremely bad mood since then. Though he doesn’t show it, I can still feel it coming out from him. I can’t blame him for this. Can I?

I really feel guilty about this situation. Erwin has every right to know the truth but I deliberately hid it from him and even though he knows that I already knew about their relationship he doesn’t say a word about it to me about the subject. But the look he gives me makes my heart clenches tightly as if trying to smash it then and there.

The look he gives me is the look of betrayal. As if I betrayed him. I wish I could explain my situation to him. I wish I could talk it out with him. But whenever I try to talk to him I feel my tongue tied and even a single word refuses to leave my mouth. And other than that I am way too busy to have a heart out conversation with him. It pains me.

"Ugh." I rub my face exasperatedly, clearly frustrated by all the things happening around me.

Other than all this shit that Liu Feng is giving me a really super hard time. Works over works. And the hell I am gonna be left behind. I am pushing back in the same manner. We are particularly suffocating each other with piles and piles of work. But the good side is the project work will be done sooner than expected. At least I won’t have to see that guy anymore once the project is over.

"President," Kevin knocks on my door, his voice robotic and void of emotions, "There is a girl here. She is trying to see you." He enters my office through the door.

"What girl?" I raise an eyebrow, "Did I have any appointment?"

No I don’t. If I had then I would have remembered.

"No, there was no appointment." Kevin shakes his head nonchalantly.

"Then tell her to leave. I am busy." I drag my attention to my work once more. "Since when did you start to walk this unprofessionally, Kevin?"

"I am sorry I will tell her to leave." Kevin apologizes but there is no hint of sorry there. "I let her in because she said she is from Erwin’s school. Her name I guess was Lia."

"Wait." I stop him midway to the exit of the room, "Whose name did you mention again?"

"Lia." Kevin replies.

Lia...Lia... Who is Lia? Where did I hear this name again? It does ring a bell inside my head but I can’t clearly remember her. Maybe I should go and check her out since she is from Erwin’s school.

"I will go see her." I close my laptop and get on my feet. "Where is she?"

"I told her to wait at the lobby." Kevin says, his stern and hollow voice isn’t helping me much to retrieve my good mood. And it doesn’t matter either since I am always like this when I am at work. Cold, stern and sometimes even short tempered. So no one should be able to notice the mood swings of mine.

I acknowledge him with a slight nod and wind down to the company building’s lobby while wrecking my brain to remember the girl named Lia. I know I have heard this name before. Just a little while ago. Maybe two or three months ago? But why can’t remember her?

I push through the heavy glass door of the waiting area of the lobby. It is almost empty since this is a working hour. My eyes instantly fall on a girl in white sitting on a table at the very corner of the room. Her posture upright and the way she is fiddling with her fingers clearly tells me that she is very nervous. Her side profile is the only thing visible to me but it is more than enough to drag back those horrible memories that I locked away in a locker of my mind.

Lia...she is the girl who forced herself on Erwin a few months ago and created that misunderstanding between us.

My heart clenches with fury and annoyance fists my stomach.

Was I not in a bad enough mood already then why the hell in the world do you have to stick more annoyance in my ass hole, dear God?

I mull over whether I should just leave before she sees me or go and have a not-so pleasant chat with her. I don’t like either one.

Just thinking about sitting down with this girl makes my skin crawl with irritation and just leaving like this will be a bit cold to me and the way this girl is sitting here...she is not leaving until I talk to her.

What a pain in my neck...

I shrug and walk over to the coffee table she is sitting at. "May I know what sin I committed to earn a visit from you, Miss Lia?"

Lia jumps to her feet as she sees me approach. "I-I," she chews on her bottom lip, "p-please have a seat first." She offers to the chair across from her.

"I don’t have time to have a chit chat with you, Miss Lia." I refuse her offer, "And I must I am really amused that you still have the guts to come and see me at my company after what you did at that party with Erwin. Humans are supposed to be shy creatures, don’t you agree, Miss Lia?" I say indifferently, my face showing no kind of reaction, just a stern scowl.

"Please, I am here to talk about that incident too." Lia pleads with me anxiously. "I thought we needed to talk about that."

"We? No, no, you are sorely mistaken, Miss Lia." Sarcasm latched onto every single word that pours out of my mouth, "You are the only one who needs to talk about it. You forced yourself on Erwin that night and tried to make a misunderstanding between us. How do you plan to explain your actions, Miss Lia? Do you usually approach other people like this too?"

Lia is looking like she is about to burst into tears as I prick a needle in her heart with my every single fucking word. "I-I am sorry..." She sniffs, trying to control the urge to break down right here and now. "I liked Erwin for a very long time, since he enrolled into the school. But I couldn’t express my true feelings to him and then when I decided to confess to him, I suddenly heard that he got married. I was so broken and my thoughts were so conflicted, my mind was losing its ability to make any consistent thought in my system."

"This is why you threw yourself over him? To confess to a married man? Just to be in peace?" The lines between my brows deepen, "How shameless of you."

"No, no, I wasn’t thinking of doing anything like that at all..." She shakes her head violently in denial, refusing all the accusations.

"Then?" I push, even though I have zero desire to hear her explanation.

"L-Lucy told me to do that." She sniffs, at last her tears leave the horizon of her eyes, "That night I was very jealous of you, seeing how well Erwin treated you, like an actual king. And then Lucy told me if I too wanted to have these kinds of treatment from Erwin then I have to throw myself over him and kiss him. If I do that, Erwin will forget about you and come to me."

What the fuck...

I no longer know whether I should laugh or cry. How can a person be this dense and idiot? "Are you an idiot? Or there is some sort of problem in your head?" I don’t even bother to hide the fact that I am super pissed now, "You would just do anything to have Erwin, huh? That girl told you to throw yourself over him and you just did that without thinking twice? You are..." My frown deepens to the point that my temple hurts.

"I-I am really sorry..." Lia sobs, "I shouldn’t have done that. I am really sorry..."

I scoff, "Listen Lia, I don’t give a damn fuck ’bout your apology. And your apology doesn’t fix your past deeds. What you have done in the moment of impulse is something that you need to overcome yourself apologizing to me wouldn’t help you even a little bit. And honestly speaking your denseness and stupidity is pissing me off."

"I am really sorry..." She sniffs to prevent her snorts rolling down nostrils.

"Please stop it already." I sneer, "I don’t have enough time to hear your apologies. If you are done, may I go back to my work now?" I am growing impatience. Erwin doesn’t fuck me enough to comfort a crying woman.

Lia nods, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, "I am sorry for occupying your precious time too much. I will be on my way now and please don’t blame Erwin for what happened that night, it’s all my fault."

And you don’t need to tell me that.

"Okay." I storm out of the lobby. But as soon as I push through the door I bump into someone.

"Oh my, oh my, Mr. Snow are you alright?" Liu Feng stretches out his hands to steady me but I deflect it by inching away from him.

"I am fine."

Now I am convinced that God has taken an oath to make my day worse than it already is.
