315 Understanding Apology
“Can you just not et her?” I blurted out asking before I could hold myself back.
It wasn’t like I regretted my words. In fact, I was thankful for that extra burst of courage that made
say those words out loud. Life would be so much better for
and for us if he could just stop eting her or contacting her in any way.
“I can’t do that. She’s not that bad of a person when you really get to know her. She’s just…she can be an and very calculating with her words,” Ace said with a little chuckle.
“You seem to adore her…and everything that she does,” I muttered darkly.
“Not at all. I give her a hard ti too whenever she steps over the line. However, I figured that today would be a good practice for you. One day, you’ll be able to deal with people like her so effortlessly,” Ace said before flashing
a confident smile.
I shook my head in disagreent. If this was the way that he wanted
to learn and improve myself, then I would prefer that I stayed the way that I was before.
“I still don’t think that you should have put
through all that regardless of what you say. No matter how much I could have learnt or grown as a person, I don’t ever want to go through that again,” I said as I glared at him.
Ace nodded as he seed to finally understand my anger. His wish for
to get along with Elizabeth just wasn’t realistic. Even if there was nothing going on between the two of them, I had already started to more than dislike that woman.
“I’m sorry. It’s my bad, Rina. I didn’t think that you would be this upset about it,” Ace apologized.
.....
“It’s not fine but I’ll be fine soon…” I murmured.
I felt so tired and arguing with Ace any longer wasn’t sothing that I wanted to do. At least he seed to understand why I was mad, and he had apologized properly. At that ti, I didn’t quite notice that I did not succeed in convincing Ace that it would be better if Elizabeth and I never t again.
…
The following morning, I woke up with a throbbing headache that told
that I didn’t sleep well at all last night. When I opened my eyes, Ace was already gone from my side. We did go to bed together last night after having made up. The main reason behind my sleepless night was the fact that I wasn’t sure if we had properly made up yet. Ace did apologize and we did end our argunt with so understanding and it was peaceful after. However, the lump in my throat made
feel like we had left sothings unsaid and unsettled between us.
It was a strange feeling that kept on nagging
at the back of my brain and I didn’t have a good idea on how to make it go away. I got out of bed swiftly and went on my search for Ace. I woke up very early so there was a high chance that he was still in.
“Morning, Rina…” Ace greeted
lazily.
It was early but he was already dressed and seed quite ready to leave. I guessed that it was another day where he would leave for the office before . I smiled at him before rubbing my puffy eyes.
“Good morning. Are you leaving for work already?” I asked while trying to sound normal.
In my own defense, I thought that I did quite well on that front. Ace smiled at
as he approached . Soon, I felt the warmth of his hand on my shoulder as he patted it. I stared up into his face and our eyes t while I wondered what he was doing.
“Do you want to go to the office together?” he asked, and it sounded like a very pleasant invitation.
“Why? We could be seen so maybe it’s not a good idea…” I replied as my brows knitted together.
For a mont, I had no idea what he was thinking anymore. Arriving at the office together in the morning was basically like telling the whole world that we spent the night together. If people saw us together, I didn’t even want to think of what disaster could unfold.
“It won’t matter if no one sees us…” he replied without a care.
“That’s the point. Soone might see us,” I countered.
“Then we’ll be careful, I guess. Go and get dressed. I’ll wait for you, but I won’t wait forever…” Ace said lazily.
I watched in confusion as he walked away from
before sitting himself down on the sofa. He crossed his legs gracefully before taking out his phone. I stared at him as I struggled to process the situation and what I should do next.
“Get dress, Rina…” Ace instructed again without looking my way.
“Ok…” I murmured.
My mind was still confused as my body moved to shower and quickly get dressed before I left Ace waiting for too long. The nervousness of arriving at the office together made
forget temporarily about our argunt from yesterday as I sat next to him in his car.
“I think you should let
off here. I can walk from here easily…” I told him when we neared the office.
“Why do you need to walk? We’re almost there anyways,” he replied as he shrugged off my suggestion.
I rolled my eyes as I looked away. He was intentionally doing this because there was no way that he didn’t know what I was concerned about.
“Soone might see us…” I hissed.
“It’s fine. Stop fidgeting. The more you act suspicious, the more people will suspect that sothing is going on,” Ace advised.
That was really the point, though. Sothing was going on…
Since Ace refused to stop the car, I ended up arriving at the office with him. When we had to stop at the security check point, I tried desperately to hide my face from the security guard.
