Chapter 45

Nicholas was being patient today. No matter how much I mocked him, he would not get angry. I was just mocking

him a while ago, but he paused for a moment. "Do you want me to get a doctor for you? I know some of the best

ones."

I said nothing. He said nothing either, and he left a moment after that. He did not insist on staying.

I went to the french windows and saw him standing under the streetlamp outside the villa. The light dragged out his

shadow, making him look sad and forlorn. Sad? Why would he look sad, though? I pressed my forehead against the

window and stared at the man. I had mixed feelings about him, and I wondered why I refused Christopher. I liked

him a lot, but I still refused him. My reasons were laughable too. I could have done everything if I really liked him,

but I did not. I refused him by saying I did not like him, and remembering that hurt me.

I crouched down. Nicholas took a cigarette out and lit it up. Smoke twirled around him, and I saw him taking his

phone out. A frown furrowed his forehead and his face fell. Someone probably got on his nerves. He hung up and

put his cigarette out. A moment later, his assistant came to pick him up. He opened the car's door for his superior

but before Nicholas got in, he looked up at my room.

My heart skipped a beat, wondering if he saw me peeking at him. However, I remembered that it was night time

and my room was dark. Nicholas left in the end, and I heaved a sigh. Man, I must be bored out of my mind. I went

for a shower and boiled some water, then I took my pills. The moment I went to bed, Olivia texted me, 'Renee,

why'd you say no to Chris?'

I was not close to Olivia, and I had no need to explain myself to her. Besides, she liked Christopher. But she must

have used up all her courage just to ask me this. I thought about my answer for a moment and texted, 'I'm

Nicholas' ex-wife.'

That was probably the answer Olivia wanted to hear the most, and it was the most realistic reason. She was silent

for a while, and then she texted, 'Do you like Chris, then?'

Olicia liked to call Christopher 'Chris.' It sounded more endearing, and she called Nicholas 'Nick.' Maybe that was

her way to make herself look close to them. Lying was hard for me, and I was about to say I liked Christopher, but I

deleted my answer the moment I typed it. I was reminded of Nicholas. More specifically, I was reminded of how

tolerant the latter was, and how lonely he looked.

I seemed to have fallen for two men at the same time. No. I had no idea who I liked. I liked the one I was dating at

the time, but when it came to Nicholas, I was always impatient. I would always hurt him with my words. Christopher

and Nicholas were two men I had known for a while, but it was a difficult affair to love them and I was in total

confusion. I covered my tearful eyes, trying to sort out my jumbled-up thoughts. Who do I love more?

Crap! Why did I have to get the wrong person three years ago? I hated myself for being this indecisive. It would

have been a lot better if I never liked anyone. Not to mention I had no right to love anyone. In the end, I did not

reply to Olivia's texts. I lost sleep, and rain started to fall late at night. Bryxton was wet all year long. It was a

depressing city, but I loved it here. It was the home of my parents and the place where the Felixs took root.

I drifted to sleep at about four and woke up groggy the next day. I forced myself to get out of bed and take my plls,

then I changed into a golden dress. May told me that I always dressed myself up like I was going to attend a red

carpet event. There was this one time she asked me, "Don't you get tired of living like this?"

Yes, but I was used to it. I learned how to live the life of an aristocrat just to please Nicholas. When I wanted to toss

it out, I realized that this life was already fused with me. I texted my assistant and sat down before the dressing

table. There was a light scar on my cheek, and it was hard to get rid of it. The only thing I could do was cover it up. I

picked my foundation up and patted it on my face.

My assistant arrived right after I was done with my makeup. I wore a pair of light gold heels and walking was

annoying because of my sprained ankle, but I could endure this. I could not drive, so I asked my assistant to help

out. I spent the whole morning getting to know the company's latest projects. When it was noon, my assistant told

me it was time to meet the Yates. I smiled. "It's fine. We have plenty of time."

Alice did leave because I was late, but she would have still stood me up even if I came on time. I had a feeling the

main show was going to happen today. If they invited the Adams, they would invite the Forgers. Are they trying to

intimidate us? But I have to go no matter what.

…

My assistant and I arrived late. When he opened the door, I saw a beautiful woman inside, and beside her was that

rude lady—Josephine Yaes. Someone behind me said, "You're late, President Felix."

I turned around to see who it was, and who I saw surprised me. "You?"

The man before me was on a wheelchair, and he looked uninviting. I turned to the side, and someone pushed him

into the room.

I stood at the doorstep, frowning. At that, Josephine demanded, "Don't just stand there!"

The woman beside her stopped Josephine, "Manners, Josephine."

This must be Alice Yates, and it's the old good cop bad cop routine. I sneered, but I did not move.

My assistant knew I was a stubborn one, but we needed this contract, so we could not leave just like that. Even so,

he snapped back, "It's fine. President Felix is a generous woman. We don't really care about the trash."

Josephine's face turned white from fury, and she shot up. "What the f*ck did you just say to me? Say that again!"

I looked at her, smiling. "Are you sure you want to get insulted the second time?"

Josephine stomped her foot. "How dare—"

At that, Alice tugged at her. "Calm down or I won't take you along next time."

Josephine sat down as she was told. She seemed scared of Alice.

Alice calmed Josephine down and stood up. "Have a seat, President Felix." She smiled.

I went and took a seat, but my eyes were on the man on the wheelchair. It was too direct a gaze, and the man

frowned. I smiled at him, thereafter greeting, "Hello, Alba."

Alice did leove becouse I wos lote, but she would hove still stood me up even if I come on time. I hod o feeling the

moin show wos going to hoppen todoy. If they invited the Adoms, they would invite the Forgers. Are they trying to
