Chapter 2: What are you doing here at this hour?

On the road with many different cars running, Mikey drove the car very fast, like he was being chased by a ghost. He just drove his car into the garage and immediately ran to the elevator, Mikey's hand kept pressing the open button. Mikey waited a few seconds, the elevator was still busy. He chose to go up the stairs.

Mikey rushed to his friend's clinic, and arbitrarily pushed the door in without knocking. The doctor didn't even need to look up to know who the person who appeared was. He said in a mocking tone:

- Looks like today is not your appointment. Before you sit down, please close the door for me.

Mikey turned around and closed the door behind him, then plopped down in his chair. The young doctor got up from his seat, he got Mikey a cup of coffee and put it in front of him, when he saw Mikey's tense face, David joked:

- Has your disease changed?

Mikey finished his coffee in one gulp, shook his head, and said:

- I met her again.

David was very excited to hear the story. He pulled up a chair next to Mikey, the doctor's calm face staring into Mikey's eyes expectantly.

Mikey took a deep breath and then continued:

- We slept together that night.

Mikey said sadly:

- But she... seems to have forgotten about me.

The calmness of the doctor named David suddenly disappeared, his eyes revealed a surprise:

- Are you sure it's her?

- Do you think I could be mistaken?

David stood up, he couldn't believe what he had just heard:

- Maybe she feels sorry for you so she's acting this way on purpose.

- I used to think so too, but it's not. She really forgot about me. She hasn't looked for me in a month, met me in the elevator today and pretended not to know me.

David sat at the table, facing Mikey questioningly:

- She must have hit something. Have you investigated yet?

Mikey raised an eyebrow at David.

-You're right, her parents were assassinated, her younger brother was hospitalized. She has to do a lot of work alone to earn money for her brother's medical treatment.

The doctor nodded in agreement.

- Is that why she doesn't know you?

David paused for a moment and then asked Mikey:

- What do you want to do next?

Mikey nodded, sat up straight, and looked stern.

- I can pretend I don't know and ask her to be my lover.

David pondered for a moment, then he looked at Mikey and said:

- You can try.

Mikey got up, greeted David, and left as quickly as he had arrived. Returning to the company, Mikey immediately rushed to solve the work piled up on his desk. Luck saw that the big boss was not convenient to ask, but only reported:

- Miss Yan Felix will come this afternoon, so she texted me to tell you to pick her up at six o'clock.

Mikey waved his hand to signal he had heard, then got to work right away. As year-end work grew, Mikey whirled around with corporate papers and reports. He will not be able to sit in this position of general manager if within a year he takes office without bringing profits to the shareholders' council.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Luck poked his head in again and said:

- By now you need to go to the airport!

Mikey looked at the watch on his wrist, then got up wearily out of his office. He told his assistant:

- You prepare the file for tomorrow's meeting, I'll be back in a few minutes.

- You should rest tonight, Yan has arrived...

Mikey's face is serious.

- Since when do I need your advice? Please prepare the documents to put on my desk before you run out of work.

Luck took a step aside, and he leaned over to make way for Mikey. Luck watched the shadow of his big boss, he could only shake his head and sigh.

Since Mikey took the position of general manager of L.X Corporation. Mikey's personality has become increasingly difficult to understand. He wasn't like that before. Although Mikey is strict at work, he has never been as crazy about work as he is recently.

Mikey was just driving his car out of the basement when he saw Elena getting on the bus again. He immediately forgot that he had to go to the airport to pick up Yan, but turned around and drove in the opposite direction, slowly following the bus Elena was on. After thirty minutes, Elena got off the bus and entered a cafe, it's called NT.

Mikey sat in his car waiting, but he waited a long time without seeing Elena return. So Mikey got out of the car and walked into the cafe to find Elena.

He had just gone up to the second floor when he saw her in a waitress uniform and she was cleaning the table.

Mikey was wrong, she didn't come here for coffee. He chose a seat in the corner, Elena finished cleaning that table and then passed this place. She was startled when she saw the guest sitting in front of him. Elena felt flustered but she quickly regained her composure and continued to go to the next table to clean up.

Finally, it was the turn of the table where Mikey was sitting. Elena bowed politely and asked:

- Have you ordered drinks at the counter yet?

- Will you help me?

- What would you like to drink?

- No problem, I'm here to see you.

Elena stopped moving, she was surprised then quickly put on the standard staff smile for customers, answering Mikey:

- Sorry, I'm at work so I can't talk to you.

Elena bowed her head apologetically, she just turned to walk away when Mikey grabbed her hand:

- I will hire you for an hour, how much do people pay you, I will pay you ten times that?

Elena decisively withdrew her hand from Mikey's, her face calm with the standard waitress' smile:

- Sorry, our cafe does not have a reception menu, you can find this type of service elsewhere.

Elena had just turned away when her wrists were clenched once more, the hot blood in her body rushing to her head.

Elena jerked her hand away, a voice low enough for Mikey to hear.

- Can't you break me? I need this job to make money so go home, I'm begging you.

She ran out of patience.

Mikey slowly raised his eyes to look around the cafe, then he looked back at the person who kept rejecting him, he was a little angry.

At this time, the restaurant does not have many customers. Prove Elena lied.

As soon as he wanted to say something, his phone rang for an incoming call. There was a hint of disappointment on Mikey's face, but he couldn't refuse the call so he let go of Elena's hand and accepted the call.

Taking the opportunity of Mikey to answer the phone, Elena quickly escaped, she went to the cashier to change the shift for another employee to rest.

Mikey saw Elena's runaway figure, he smiled, paying little attention to the phone call:

- I was going to pick you up when I had an emergency, so I couldn't come to you. Can you take a taxi home? I'll go home now and cook dinner for you, okay?

On the other side of the phone, Yan quickly agreed and Mikey turned off the phone. He went down to the cashier on the first floor, and boldly ordered drinks:

- Give me a latte macchiato and a condensed coffee without sugar, without milk. The latte is just sweet and cool, the coffee is not too bitter and warm enough. I brought it home, about three kilometers away. You somehow managed to keep the same temperature for two cups of drinks.

Elena was startled, she knew he was trying to cause trouble for her, but she couldn't help but follow the client's request. So she still accepted the application without objection. Her voice is cheerful:

- Thirty dollars from you.

Mikey gave money to pay, and coldly said:

- No need to return change, I tip you for good service.

Elena glared, glared at Mikey, but he ignored it and went to the chair to wait.

Elena brought the drink out and put it in front of him and didn't forget to return the remaining seventy dollars.

- This is your drink and change. Thank you and… don't see you again.

Elena spoke at a volume loud enough for Mikey to hear, but he didn't give up either:

- You like money so much, why don't you accept it? Do you think this place has little money?

Elena felt very angry, now she wanted to hit Mikey's defiant face. She clenches her hand so it's red and blue, she takes a deep breath, turns to the inside of the counter, and doesn't have the patience to continue talking to him.

Seeing Elena angry, Mikey also didn't want to cause more trouble for her because the cafe was starting to get more crowded, so he left the cafe. Elena followed Mikey's back, cursing silently.

- What are you talking about? Do you know that handsome man?

Elena turned around and smiled at the person who asked:

- I don't know him, this is his first time here.

The other friend happily suggested:

- Next time he comes, you let me serve him!

Elena nodded repeatedly, but her heart was still angry: [If he dares to come back, I will give him poison, not coffee like today.]

Mikey drove into the supermarket to buy things to cook dinner, then quickly went home. After changing his clothes, he immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

Yan gently opened the door to the house, she crept to Mikey's back, and suddenly wrapped her arms around him. Mikey was startled by the scent of perfume entering his nostrils. He says:

- Are you back? Go take a shower and eat dinner, I'm almost done cooking.

Yan buried her face in Mikey's back, and said softly:

- I missed you so much. You cook so much, I don't want to gain weight.

Mikey removed Yan's hand and patted her head, smiling.

Why are women so afraid of gaining weight? You should eat a lot to be healthy.

Yan took his hand.

- Let's shower together first, then have dinner!

- You take a bath. After dinner, I still have to return to the company to finish the work.

Yan sighed, she walked wearily to the room. When she returned home, how excited she was, by the time she met Mikey, that excitement had not flown away.

Mikey stepped out of the bathroom and saw Yan wearing thin see-through pajamas that could not hide the attractive beauty inside. She walked over to him and hugged him.

- Mikey! I love you!

She boldly wrapped her arms around Mikey's neck, pulling him down. Yan's sweet lips passionately kissed Mikey's still steaming lips. She pushed him towards the bed and then sat on his lap. Yan's hands began to travel over Mikey's muscular, toned body.

He also kisses Yan back, but he doesn't show any emotion, Yan's body is beautiful but doesn't make Mikey's blood boil like when he's with Elena.

Mikey pushed Yan away, hurriedly put on his clothes, and apologized with difficulty:

- Sorry, I must get out of the house.

Yan was sad, her eyes were red and she called to Mikey:

- Mikey, you'll be right back. I won't make you do that again, come back.

Her scream echoed in vain, the pillow being thrown after him.

Yan went crazy, she started smashing furniture in the bedroom. After a while, Yan was exhausted, she looked back at the ruined room, smiled with tears, quietly stood up and walked towards the changing room, she chose a sexy dress to wear and then drove to the bar.

Mikey lowered the car window and let the wind blow to dispel his stuffy air. He drives a car leisurely on the road, he wants to go to the office to work. At times like these, only work can help him forget reality.

Mikey took the phone, he texted Yan: [Tonight I will stay at the company, good night!]

Elena finished cleaning the table and chairs, she took the trash to empty it, and her whole body was tired. She quickly changed into her uniform, greeted the security guard, and walked home. This cafe is quite close to the dormitory where she rented a room, so she chose to work there even though the salary is not as high as in other places.

It was nighttime, the air was a bit chilly, and Elena's shadow was super crooked on the glittering street.

Sitting in the car, Mikey saw Elena walking home slowly, watching Elena's skinny figure walking around in the night, making him not dare to step out of the car to bother her anymore.

Can only silently drive the car behind her. I also don't come to the company to work anymore.

Elena finished showering, it was almost 1 am. She took the box of instant noodles and poured water, and waited.

Suddenly her doorbell rang. It's past midnight, who's coming at this hour?

Elena frowned, a little scared. She ignored the person ringing the bell outside and just sat quietly by the cup of noodles waiting for it to cook. But the doorbell still "ting, ting" does not stop. Elena spent her lazy, weary body walking to the door through the cat's eyes and looking out. When it became clear who it was, she angrily shouted:

- What are you doing here at this hour? Why do you know my house?

Mikey did not answer, but he ordered out of habit:

- Open the door, do you want me to wake all the neighbors up?
