Ch. 20Chapter 20


'"What are you doing here, Greg?'" No emotion when asked

'"Your cheating on me, Airelle'" he said angrily

'"I'm not, because we both know what was the relationship we have. Just because of our Company's partnership with your Company.'" Formal language, my eyes have no emotion.

'"No, we both know that we love each other'" it shouted back. Why is it screaming?

'"Love each other my ass! Dude stop! Okay? She didn't love you. Back off.'" Lewis groaned angrily, using his deadliest blank stare.

"Crimson. With the two of us, you're the one screaming. So you should back off, moron," Greg said angrily.

'"Hey don't call him moron, you dimwit!'" I groaned, which I didn't know and why Lewis even inserted a laugh.

"And you're really on that man's side? I'm your boyfriend here, Airelle" Greg blushed in anger

"Your my boyfriend huh? Then now your not. Because I'm breaking up with you. I don't care if you back out of your company with us. '" Angry if said, I can't take this anymore. Greg is wild.

The second time the door violently opened again and Tanda was spit out. I'm sure I'm angry based on what I see with men in black.

"What did you just say, Airelle?" Tanda asked angrily, Lewis grabbed my hand tightly and squeezed it slightly.

"I want to stop this, Tanda."

"What? You can't do this. You can't break up with that man. He saved our company" he shouted at me.

'"And in exchange for my freedom?'" Angry when I shouted back, I was already crying because of the mixed feeling I was feeling.

"This is also for your future Airelle. Why do you want to stop this? Huh? Is it because of that Calvin Crimson? Maybe you forgot, Grandpa? His family killed my son ,. Your parents'" no it loses its rage.

"Grandpa please. They didn't do it. Not his family. We were fooled. I'm tired. I'm tired of Grandpa thinking of revenge." He begged.

'"What do you mean they're not?'" He asked.

'"They can't do that Grandpa.'" I just said and pulled Lewis away we passed Greg, Tanda and the men in black.

We kept walking out of the Company. Not thinking about what the people we pass are saying.

we gasped as the parking lot arrived. We stopped in front of his car. He sighed as he opened the passenger seat.

"Get in" he ordered and I obeyed, when I went inside he immediately closed it and turned around to get in the driver's seat.

I put on the seatbelt the same way, then he started the engine. While we were halfway through it spoke.

"What are you thinking?" He broke the silence, I turned to him and sighed.

"'I'm just wondering why Tanda can't understand me.'" Sad to say, I don't know but I feel like I'm going back to the way I used to be I'm not ashamed to say how you really feel.

"Maybe he can't understand you for now. But soon he will. He will understand you too. Don't loose hope. I'll stay at your side I'll help you and don't forget to pray. '" The smile faded. with its handsome face '"Everything will be okay.'"

"Yeah, everything will be okay. Soon. And I want justice. I'll find out who did something non to us that caused Mommy and Daddy's death. '" He said emphatically.

"I'll help you." He replied, making me smile. It was a genuine smile form to my lips.

"Just take me to the mansion. I want to rest. Maybe I'll talk to Tanda later, in depth." He just nodded at what I said and headed on the road to the mansion.

Even though we were not in front of the gate of the mansion, they were blocked and immediately fired at us. These are our staff assigned by Tanda.

'"Tchh'" I sighed softly and opened the window, when they saw me they immediately lowered the guns they were holding and bowed.

The guard opened the gate in front of us.

Lewis himself stopped his car right opposite the door of the house. I didn’t wait for it to open the car door for me and I voluntarily got off.

I thought it wouldn’t go down and go away immediately, but it went down.

'"You're not leaving yet?'" I asked

"Are you firing me?" He asked again.

"No, I'm just asking. And when Tanda catches up with you, he'll probably get angry and won't let you out of here alive."

'"I'm not scared.'" He said as if I had said nothing.

"Tsk. I'm serious."

'"I just want to ask you.'" He said in a calm voice.

'"You ask that.'"

'"Can you be mine?'" He asked, almost choking me with my own saliva.

'"You're kidding, Lewis? Aren't you?'" I asked confidently

"No, I'm not. I'm serious. Can you be mine? Can you be my Girlfriend? Or more than with that? '" He asked one after another, I looked at him carefully to see if he was just joking or not. . But it's serious.

"Wait, Wait. Okay? ... Before you ask me that. Why don't you ask me first if you can court me. Like this-- 'Can I court you?' that's what you should ask first. '"my long litany as if the person I'm talking to is grade one who doesn't know what two plus two is. "Not what you're going to ask right away is- 'Can you be mine? Can you be my Girlfriend? Or more than that?'. Come on don't tell me you're not dating yet? '"

"Is that what I should say first? I'm not aware of that." '"Then can I ask you for the second time?'"

'"Go ahead'"

'"Can I court you, Airelle?'" She said seriously, you could feel how sincere you were.

I thought, and was shaken. Its forehead furrowed and it hardened.

'"What?'" It asked

'"I said, No. Do you think I let you court me? Of course not. Tanda is angry with you and your family. And what he knows is your family is the cause of my parents' death due to the car accident. '"Calm down if you say, If I'm the one to choose, why not? Of course I will choose to let him court me.

'"Why do you hate me too?'" He asked.

"No, not that. What I want to say is that Tanda will be even more angry with you and your family. Let's wait until everything is okay and then we'll fix it.
ours. '"My voice was still calm, it just made me gasp.

"Yeah. After this we will fix whatever we have." He said with certainty in his voice.

'"We will.'" I said

He left because he said he would return to their company and someone needed to be taken care of. I just sat on the sofa and sat down afterwards to get dressed. I'm in the living room.

I heard the opening of the door of the house spit out non Tanda.

'"What do you think you're doing?'" Streaked with anger he said.

"I think that's right. We can't blame them for that Tanda. We can't blame the innocent family. What if it really happened by accident? Or maybe someone else ordered it to do that? We're not sure Mark. '"

'"What did that Calvin Crimson feed you and made you like that? You softened because of how you feel about him.'" Its angry shout startled me.

"Grandpa, he's out of here. Please. Let's release whatever pout is in our hearts. I'm tired Grandpa for planning a revenge on them. And it's wrong to take revenge Grandpa. '" I whispered and left. I went up to my room and there I mumbled.

I couldn't wait for Grandpa to say anything.

Only now did Tanda get mad at me like this. When we were abroad we never and it never scolded me.

I just gasped, my head ached at the thought. I'll just take a shower in the bathtub to relieve my stress.

After twenty minutes of soaking I thought of getting dressed and leaving the room wanting to eat ice cream and chocolate.

I go to the kitchen to take a look in the refrigerator. When I saw what I was looking for I immediately took it.

I placed it on the counter table near me and sat on the stool chair. Cheese flavor ice cream, and chocolate. Perfect!

I immediately let go of it and in a few minutes I was about to run out, I just stopped sucking when I felt someone looking at me. I looked up and saw Tanda by my side as I watched.
