Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Maybe that's the reason. But, why is he so cold. Isn't him the one who cheated?

I remembered the book I read, there's this case where the woman threatens the man that she will hurt his girlfriend if he doesn't follow ther. Maybe, that's why!

But, if he doesn't really want to. He don't have to call the woman 'babe' as if he doesn't have a girlfriend!

And why does seems like it happened in reverse! I mean, Angel already lives her own life to the fullest and seemed to have already moved on. Then he looks like he hasn't. He's cold. He looks like a broken hearted person who still doesn't move on. Maybe someone broke his heart aside from Angel!

If that's the case. Then who might be it? Who might broke his heart?

Haist! Complicated! So very complicated! I want to know what happened. But, how?

Ah, right! Maybe, I will resign from being Xyna's personal assistant? For a while? And it Xy doesn't really needs me as her P.A. She doesn't really treat me that way. She treats me as a friend. Money is not my problem, either. Because I'm rich, mom and dad will bequeath their properties and businesses to me, but I'm not as rich as Xyna, too. And it will only be bequeathed to me because I am their only a child.

Why did I became a personal assistant if I don't need money? No reason just want to try it, why is there a complaint?

I will go back to the province and I will try to be friends with that man, if he is still there.

I need to know the truth, for Angel, for everyone. I just feel that there's something in this past.

But, if I'm wrong. If found out that he meant to cheat on Angel. He must get ready from me. I'll give him a hook punch!

Xyna

Agatha's been quiet after we ended our conversation about Xiera and her good-for-nothing ex.

Knowing her, I know she's thinking about the back story of it. I mean, she wants to know what the story's behind— why did Clay cheated on my twin, Xiera.

She's always a curious person, she want to know the whole story on every problem. So I won't be surprised if sooner she will decide to return to Wisconsin again.

I scanned the whole place. I saw the personal assistants helping their bosses—those artists. The others were carrying their bags, even though it was light, and easy to carry.

Unlike them, I don't let Aga carry my bag, not because I don't trust her, but because I can carry it myself.

“What the hell is this clothes?! I don't like them it's too simple and baggy. Get me another one!” an actress said irritable . I just shooked my head and ignored it. What else is new?

Several hours passed until Director Benjamin dismissed us. He said, we'll continue it tomorrow at 9:00 o'clock in the morning.

But until now, Aga's still not in her talkative self. Argh! She's still thinking about it, huh? Why can't she just move on? Afterall, it's almost a decade when it happened. Everyone's already moved on. Why can't she?

“A-Ah Xy, can we talk?” she asked.

“Aren't we already talking?” I said sarcastically.

“I mean, just the two of us” she.

I sighed and just nodded because I'm too lazy to speak.

We went to a coffee shop— the Early Hail Coffee Shop. I always went her everytime I feel like drinking coffee.

As always most of the people here in the coffee shop are looking at us — should I say me?

“1 espresso” I said.

“1 latté, please”

“4.84 USD m-ma'am” said the female clerk, she was also the woman in the past. And just like in the past, it stutters again. I don't think she's like this in her other customers, I think she's only like this when it comes to me. She's intimidated?

I mentally rolled my eyes. How very unprofessional.

I pulled out my wallet and handed her 5 dollars.

“I-I receive 5 USD. Your exchange is—”

“Keep the change. Think of it as a tip” I said.

Agatha already went straight to the table at the corner part. Before I follow her I face the female clerk.

“Miss Clerk, don't stutter in front of your costumer. That's too unprofessional,” I said and left the woman dumbfounded.

“So, what's the matter?” I asked Aga the moment I sat in front of her.

“Ahmm, About the. Ahm...about...the...err” she uttered.

“What is it?! Just say it already. You know me I don't want anyone to waste my time. I'm impatience. I'm also tired, so hurry up” losing patience I told her.

“A-Ahh, ma'am. This is your order” the waitress told us. I just ignored her.

She put the coffee down the table before leaving.

I looked at Agatha again.

“So, what is it?” I asked calmly this time.

“A-ah, I just w-want to resign, b-because..of some matters!”

Hmm, I'm actually not surprised anymore. I knew she will going to act like that. I know her very well.

But, I won't also be surprised if she already love that person, when she come back. Just wish that he don't hurt her because I'm really going to give him an uppercut and a body blow on the body.

Yes, I'm mad at that man because he's a motherfucking-douchebag. But it's Aga's decision to make, not mine. It's no use if I try to stop her because I know she already made up her mind.

“Hmm, I understand. Okay” I agreed. Her eyes widened as if she didn't expect immediate consent.

“R-Really? b-But, won't you even ask why?” she asked. Confusion is evident on her face.

I sip on my coffee before I spoke. “I already know why” I smirked.

And it makes her even more confuse.

“You want to go back to Wisconsin. And your plan is to befriend with that man and talk about the par. You want to know why he did that, don't you? Why he cheated on Xiera. But, if you fell for that man and he just also dump you, don't come to me crying and ranting because he dump you. Don't blame me for not warning you about him.” I said making her gaped.

“H-How did you know?” she said with a wide eyes.

“Just a hunch. But, if I really saw you crying because of the pain you feel. I won't hesitate to also slap you and pull your if I need to. And call you stupid.”

“G-Got it!”

“Good. So, when are you leaving?” I asked her.

“Maybe this Sunday. I'll buy a ticket tomorrow” I nodded.

I sip on my coffee again. “Don't fall for that man easily, bitch! He might not catch you and just let you fall. When that happens, expect me to be the first to laugh” I teased her.

“You're so mean, Xy!” she pouted. God! She's just like Dwayne. They always pout as if it makes them cute, tss.

“Of course, you have to make him fall for you first, so that when you fall for him, he will surely catch you. Note that.” I said. I don't feel like getting Agatha closer to that man. But, like I said it's her own decision, who am I to meddle.

“Yeah! You're right! Note it! Thank you for the advice, Xy!” she said vigorously, as if she heard a very good idea.

“But please, Agatha. As much as possible try not to fall for him, he's no good for you” I reminded her. She just nod.

We finished our coffee first before we went home.

I took a half-bath first and put on my pajamas before going to bed and sleep.
