CHAPTER 5
968 Words
I immediately went to the entrance to the hospital. Caleb runs fast toward me. When he stopped, he was panting. He paused to catch his breath before he spoke.
" Are you okay? I'm sorry for the traffic that took me so long." And he began to look with Lucian. "Who is he?"
"Si—"
"I'll give you ten more minutes to go back, Ms. Reyes." He cut off what I was about to say. Turn away at once.
Caleb pulled Lucian's arm. "Hey, and who do you think you are to order him like that?" Caleb tries to resist Lucian's apparent impatience.
Lucian broke up and appeared. He lands on the side of his suit that Caleb can hold. His face is cold. "Ms. Reyes, can you tell your friend to get better and better before I answer her question?"
A-ah—Caleb, calm down. That's my boss, whatever. When I get laid off."
"So what? If he is your boss too, don't just."
I was arched with his eyebrows. "Caleb...you know my reason."
"There may be others—"
"Can you change the money I gave him?" Lucian's father.
"Do you mind? Just because you're rich, that's the way you go."
"Really? Or is it that you have stepped on a man?" Lucian sighed. I have no intention of fighting especially with a child like you. I'm here to make sure my employee is safe."
"What's so special about him that you act like that? He's just a humble guy who doesn't have the fingertips of your wealth—"
"Enough!" i shouted. I can't believe that Caleb looked down on me like this. But what if he only protected me? Because I didn't even know this Lucian like that. "If you guys fight together, can both of you leave?" I began to think more of Lucian than he did. I'll return your money. I don't know how but I will bring it back."
"Ms. Reyes, are you sure you're going to miss another opportunity I gave you?"
"I'm sorry. But my friend was right. I think I've got a lot of choice to get some money. In a different way."
"He's just your friend—"
"He is my friend. Not just friends. I don't want to be mean or ugly but maybe I don't know what it feels like to have a friend, but I know the value of it. So please accept my resignation."
"And how are you going to pay me? Do you think there's more pay than the Montecarlos pay you?"
"As I said, I don't know how but I will do something about it.'"
"Ms.—"
Lucian." I called his name that he was obviously shocked. "I am resigning. If you don't accept it—"Suddenly I was pulled by two muscular men. "Hey! Let go of me!"
"Let him go!" Caleb tries to shake off the two men's grasp, but they are too strong for him to hold on to.
"I'm going to scandal here!"
"Back home," Lucian said cold before finally leaving the hospital. When they put me in the van, I couldn't get around. The people were blind and deaf to what had happened. Is this really how they fear Lucian like him?
wait. The surgery!
"What the hell! Get me out. My father needs me! You guys, shameless ones!" But still ignored. They don't care.
So I kept quiet all the way back to Montecarlos Villa. But my brain is still fidgeting because I'm thinking about my dad's surgery.
It's the same Lucian that this tow-pull would taste good in the pison e. I froze all the way. Dad, what am I going to do now? I even dropped my phone. Really.
I felt that the van was stopping, so I knew we were here.
The car gate opened and Lucian opened to me. "Can you just take me back? I was sure that Dad needed me there," I said the plea. I'm so worried that I'm feeling uneasy.
"Get down first." Instead of answering me, he responded only to me that way.
I felt crazy, but I took a breath to calm down. I had no choice but to get off. I followed him. We passed by the small road on the side of the mansion to the back to gain access to the mansion.
"Why aren't we just in front?" i ask. But he did not answer.
When we got inside, we went straight to his office. Suddenly I remembered that he was trying to get help to fix it.
"Lock the door," he ordered.
I locked the door. I walked around my eye and saw many books on the shelf. But the clutter that seemed to be flooded.
"Put the books on the table."
"Is it because of this that you forced me back? didn't i relinquish my retirement? Why don't you accept? I'll pay for the money and the porcelain. I won't run away from you. After all powerful, isn't it? "You can make me look."
He did not speak. He just gave up his breath and giggled as if he were still having fun. Instead of answering he looked at me with a sharp eye. He walked slowly toward me and still looked at it. Every step of his is the same step I take backward. I felt my irite face blushing.
My back hit the table. I got a grip on it. He's close to me now. "S-sir
"You called me Lucian earlier, remember? Now call me by name again. His soft voice is like, It attracts me.
"What's wrong...you trip?"
"Let me hear it again."
"And stop me. Why do you want me to do it again?"
He stooped down to whisper to me. "I like it."
