The Villain Who Fell Chapter 120: To Understand

Chapter 120: To Understand

Elia had her knees tucked into her arms. All she felt was betrayed, thinking of the reasons why Elliot did that to her. Elia knew she acted childish and immature, but there are tis where emotions control actions.

She sighed for the nth ti, unable to get rid of the heavy feeling in her chest. The more she thought about it, the more she felt devastated. She shook her head, telling herself to calm down and forgive. But for so reason, she couldn’t do it.

Distracted in her world, Elia didn’t know that a person crept into her room using the balcony. Elia only knew when she heard a loud thud which made her stand away from her bed. Her eyes furrowed as she cautiously walked towards the balcony.

She pushed the curtain to the side, peeking to see who it was. To her surprise, she sees Albert, waving his hand and smiling as if he had done nothing wrong. Elia opens the glass door leading to the balcony while Albert smiles.

"What are you doing here?" Elia asked Albert, who sat on the railings.

"Well, you see. My favorite person wants to know what’s happening behind the doors. She’s rather concerned about you," answered Albert, bringing an apple out of his pocket. He asked, "Want one?"

"No, it’s alright. I don’t eat apples," rejected Elia. "I know Vanessa is concerned about , but you don’t have to go this far to trespass."

"Technically, I didn’t trespass. I’m not in the room," boldly said Albert.

"You’re on my balcony."

"Now you think about it, you’re right. Well then, I should move," Albert stood up and climbed to a tree that was beside Elia’s room. He sat on the limb of the tree and asked, "Is this better? Does this count as trespassing?"

Elia broke into laughers and shook her head. Who in the world is this guy? Doing things as if they’re so easy.

"That’s better," smiled Elia.

"So, do you mind telling

why you locked yourself in the room?"

"It’s nothing. I honestly don’t know why I did that," frowned Elia, rubbing her shoulder with a hand. The more she was being questioned, the more guilty she felt.

"Couple fights. I see," Albert muttered to himself, which Elia heard and rolled her eyes. "What? I’m speaking the truth. Well, honestly, it’s a good thing you realized why you got angry and asked yourself why you did that."

"Why?" Asked Elia. It was weird hearing soone like Albert being mature. But it sparked her interest.

"Self-realization. Not everyone has it. So are just painfully dumb. And I guess you’re the type of person to be swayed by your emotions."

Elia stood silent, repeating Alberts’s words. At one point, he was right and wrong but wrong because she didn’t want to admit it.

"If I were you and your lover. You know, talk about it without arguing. Since arguing wouldn’t fix anything," advised Albert.

"I guess so...."

"As they say, the best key to a relationship is communication."

"I’m curious, but why, Vanessa?" Elia asked out of nowhere, making Albert flustered for a few seconds. He cleared his throat wanting to avoid her questions, but it would make him look like a wimp.

"Well I don’t know. But she looks attractive. Like love at first sight?" Albert chuckles, rubbing the back of his head.

"Just so you know as her closet friend I’m not allowing you to drag her into you and Air’s argunt," said Elia. "If you do I’ll never approve of you. No, neither of you to be exact."

"Does this an you’ve cheered up?" Asked Albert while Elia averted her eyes away from her. "You’re surprisingly easy to please."

"When I lower my guard," scoffs Elia and looks at him. "Now, can you now leave

alone? Tell Vanessa I’ll be out in an hour."

"As you wish, Your Highness," Albert said as he climbed down the tree.

"But you left your apple," mumbles Elia as she picks up the apple Albert left on the railings. "I guess I’ll have to eat it."

The tension in the office hasn’t cald down since Elliot heard the voice of Elia. He had his elbow rested on his desk. As he massages his temples. From the beginning he knew this was bound to happen. Now how will he talk to Elia? Knowing from her personality, she wouldn’t want to talk to him.

Air lowered the papers he was reading and raised a brow, looking at Elliot. He warned him Elliot didn’t listen. But this is not his problem. The only problem he’ll need to solve is how to make Elliot sign the papers for approval.

"Your Imperial Highness, please sign the papers if you want to leave this office as soon as possible and run to your lover," Air sarcastically said, reading the reports once more.

"I do know it’s wrong, but her safety is my priority, and I don’t want to involve her in this ss. Have you seen those old geezers the way they look at her?" Mumbles Elliot.

"Yes, yes, I do know. Now, if you want to stop stressing yourself go to her and talk about it. It would help if you weren’t inefficient right now, especially since it’s work hours," said Air.

"You’re my secretary. How dare you speak to

like that."

"I’m not your secretary now. I’m your friend. Your closet friend in this world," answered back Air.

"Let

see him."

Hearing the voice of Elia again made Elliot and Air shocked. But this ti, the tone of her voice sounded lighter and softer than earlier.

"We cannot allow Your Highness to enter with-"Alan was cut off when the door opened.

"Co in," said Air as he opened the door wider for Elia to enter when Emily was in the room. Air walked out of the office to give that two privacy to talk.

Air looked at Alan and Enoch and asked, "Why are you both looking at

like that?"

"Nothing," they answered in unison.

"Those two have sothing important to talk. Walk a bit further away from the door," said Air, and they both followed.
