Chapter 12: Chapter 12

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't like her?"

"No! Please stop sending those damn photos. I don't need those things."

"...Mom, I'm in love with someone else. So, please don't meddle."

Because of an undefinable reason, I just sit in front of the door. I know that what I'm doing is wrong.

Eavesdropping to other's conversations.

But I can't stop myself. But I was more shocked by what I've heard from Sir Beks.

He's in love? To whom? Why don't I know this? The thought of him loving someone else... It instantly killed my heart. Penta-kill. Bullsh*t.

I wasn't myself when I returned to my table. I just keep myself busy with some things.

I planned to seduce him and falling for me... But, I was the first one to fall. How ironic.

The whole day just went by, wherein I just do some errands for him by giving out files to different departments.

I just shook and nod my head every time that he is going to ask something. I wasn't in the mood at all.

My hesitation was cut when the door opens and the person I hate and prayed to be dead showed up.

"Oh? Witch, Did you have dinner yet?"

He asked me as he walks to the front of my table.

While I just focus on my task.

I'm still pissed on him so I gave him a cold treatment.

He let the time pass for a moment, but I still didn't give him any attention.

Ah.... I don't care.

"Hoy, gaga! What is this drama all about? Don't tell me you left your brain in Japan Huh! Cannot be." He sarcastically said to me as he pats my head.

"Duhhh, shutang-inames this Beks. After he secretly hurt my feelings? Now, it is physically, he will blaspheme?!

How dare he?!

He added something to what I am feeling right now.

I just didn't give him much attention and focused on what I am doing in front of the computer.

It was obvious on his face that he was pissed and just left.

Good for you!

I fixed my things and prepared to go home.

I just waited for him to go first.

Just to piss him off.

While waiting for the elevator, I felt that someone was beside me. I immediately looked up.

And it was Sir Dave... I heartfelt a little disappointed. I was hoping that it was Sir Beks. But again... I was wrong.

"Hey. What's up, Celinebaby? Long time no see, eh?" he said.

Sir Dave is a funny guy. Up until now, he still calls me by my name but with 'baby on the end.

It wasn't a big deal for me, but to other employees, it is.

I smiled and jokingly replied, "Nothing much, Sir. I am still alive. Haha, how about you? Still hooked up?"

That exact moment, the elevator opened its door and we stepped inside.

We were the only ones inside. Maybe, the other employees have gotten home.

I was holding the handle of my bag tightly when I felt an electric shock flowed from the side of my body.

When I looked at where it came from, I cupped my face. It was Sir Dave again.

Laughing as if there is no tomorrow.

He poked the side of my body!

Who wouldn't be tickled by it?

He and his pranks again.

"Chill, baby. You are too tense. You just look like the grumpy face of your boss.

Harhar. Just so he knows, I'm brokenhearted today.

It was all because of that walking-piece-of-shit.

"Anyway... Can I invite you to dinner? He asked. I stared at him for a moment. As if I was thinking twice.

I was about to say no. But the elevator door suddenly opened.

At that exact moment, the person I hated the most, showed. Speaking of the devil....

But wait.

Who is this girl grabbing around his arm?!? Who the fucking hell is she?

Because of my head, burning with anger, I pulled Sir Dave from the door and said YES. Answering his question earlier.

I got carried away. But what can I do?

I'm already tired.

She said she was okay, and you believed her?

Let me tell you what's wrong with her.

She's tired.

She's tired of getting hurt.

She's tired of letting down.

She's tired of lies.

She's tired of holding it in.

She's tired of being judged for everything she does.

She's tired of feeling broken, damaged, and worthless.

She's tired. Want to know why I knew all of this? Because I am here and I AM TIRED.

Until we reached a five-star restaurant, my mind is clouded with the question of who is that girl?

I wasn't sure about their relationship.

But.... I can't help it... I fall deeply, and now I am hurting.

Is that still part of his secret agenda? That he needs to show a straight guy so that the public wouldn't have the idea of him, being gay.

But, the conversation earlier in the morning struck my mind. He just told her Mom, about someone whom he loves.

Could it be? The girl with him? The girl he was referring to?

My body shakes with the thought of that. I can't hide my emotions. I feel like I am about to cry.

Then suddenly, tears came flowing down my face.

As I looked in the front door of the restaurant. Seeing the love of my life, holding another girl's hand.

That's it! I stand up, and left Sir Dave, while he was still busy ordering our food. I know that he will be curious about my actions, that's why I immediately whispered,

"Comfort Room".

I need COMFORT, right now! Where can I buy that stuff?

I dashed off to the lady's comfort room. Not minding if Sir Beks notice me.

As soon as I entered the comfort room, I cry. Letting out the emotions and feelings that I have been holding up since then.

I don't mind about my makeup, being ruined, even if after this crying session, I would look like a fish.
