Unspoken Agonies

1121 Words
Rose, did you need something?" Theodore didn't directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthial was his junior. "I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions regarding majors?" Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, " Choose something you're interested in." "Then, I'll choose..." "Sorry to interrupt," said Cynthia from the office doorway. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and waiting for you." Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. I'll be right there." As he walked past Rosalie, he said, "I'm a bit busy. Let's talk later." "Oh, okay," Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she lowered her head. Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he approached Rosalie and grasped her shoulder. "What's wrong?" "It's nothing. You should go attend to your business," Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him further. "Tell me what major you want to study," he insisted, not rushing away. Rosalie looked up, noticing Cynthia at the door. The older woman looked professional, seeming to portray the image of a strong, Independent woman. "I want to study finance," Rosalie said, wanting to work alongside Theodore and be on par with him. "You like finance?" Theodore asked. Rosalie nodded. "Yes, I do." "Alright, then study that. After you graduate, I can arrange a job for you." "Can I work at SK Enterprise?" Rosalie asked softly. "Of course, I need talents in finance," he replied, gently patting her shoulder before turning and leaving. As he reached the door, he turned back and added, "Rose, apply to universities in Ashwick, okay? Don't go too far." Because of Theodore's words, she had ultimately chosen finance as her major. Unfortunately, he no longer needed her now. "Since you didn't leave halfway through my speech, you must have heard me say that I've never regretted that decision. So, why are your accusing me of deceiving you?" Rosalie asked. She didn't blame Theodore or regret it, but he was accusing her now. After staring at her silently for a moment, Theodore released her shoulder, fastened her seatbelt, and drove away. Though his expression was cold, he looked ready to erupt at any moment, like a volcano.. "What's your relationship with that man?" he asked. His tone was indifferent, but the veins on the back of his hand bulged as he gripped the steering wheel. "There's nothing between us. He's just a major shareholder at Ashwick University And? Theodore pressed "There's nothing more than that. I have no connection to tem. Vivet da you want me to say?" "Does that mean you only met him today? Actually, Rosalie had met him before, but she wasn't sure if she should tell Theodore about it. In the end, she said, "Yes, today was the first time I've seen him." It was better to not mention the past. Talking about it was troublesome, and Theodore would just ask more questions. At her answer, the bulging veins on the back of the man's hand seemed to diminish, and his fiery gaze gradually subsided. "You shouldn't have acted like that today." Rosalie was a bit angry. 1 fell, and he helped me. You humiliated him too much." Although Theodore didn't explicitly say it at the time, his behavior, his tone, his gaze - anyone with eyes could see that he had been targeting Sebastian. To Rosalie, Sebastian had saved her unborn child. "So, now you're accusing me for the sake of a man you just met?" Theodore asked. Theodore and Rosalie had known each other for ten years. Was he less than Sebastian? "It doesn't matter how long we've known each other. I'm just dealing with the matter at hand." "Just dealing with the matter? Clearly, you're biased!" Rosalie was almost amused by this man's irritation. "By your logic, where does your bias lean when it comes to Cynthia and I?" If that's the case, why did he bring up divorce? If he was also guilty of doing the same, why was he blaming her? Theodore's brow furrowed. "Why are you bringing her up?" "Why are you targeting others for no reason?" Rosalie retorted. Screech...! Theodore slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road and causing the vehicle to jolt violently. Though Rosalie was wearing her seatbelt, her body still lurched forward, and combined with her discomfort, she almost threw up. "Theodore, what are you doing?!" Rosalie, how many times do I have to remind you? We're not divorced What What does it matter if they were divorced or not? That was what Rosalie wanted to say. But seeing her husband's dark expression, she knew continuing to argue would only worsen the situation. She wondered when he had become so unreasonable. Suddenly, her stomach churned violently. Rosalie quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and rushed out before retching uncontrollably. Theodore quickly followed and knelt beside her. Rosalie clutched at her chest and took a few deep breaths. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything in the morning, or she surely. would have thrown up even more. "It's been days. Haven't you been taking your medicine?" Theodore asked as he gently stroked her back. Worried that he might suspect something, Rosalie turned her head and pretended to be angry. "It's all because of you! That sudden stop you did made me uncomfortable. I'm already prone to motion sickness." Theodore stiffened when he heard Rosalie's words of blame, and all his anger seemed to vanish instantly. He helped Rosalie back into the car and rolled down all the windows. "I'll take you to the hospital," he said as he fastened her seatbelt for her. "No need, I just feel a bit nauseous because of what you did." what she said made sense, he couldn't help but feel a bit why wouldn't go to the hospital More than anywhere else. Theodore fell silent sand "Let's hope so After they resumed they couldn't help but ask, "Why did you it was Cynthia, the irritation in his eyes dissipated instantly. He answered the call and held the phone to his ear. "What's up, Cindy?" Rosalie couldn't hear what Cynthia said, but after a moment, Theodore said, "I got it. I'll be right there." After ending the call, he immediately stood up. "I have to go now." "Okay," Rosalie responded indifferently, despite her aching heart. Seeing her silent demeanor, Theodore opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and left. Rosalie collapsed weakly onto the bed, caressing the bracelet on her wrist. No matter what happened, Theodore would always choose Cynthia in any situation.
