"Y-You need me here earlier to order me to do something, right? T-Then just tell me what to do now, so I can go and do my work," she whispered nervously, yet he didn't move. He can still clearly see the anger in his eyes. "Who told you that I need you here earlier to order you to do anything?" he asked with a harsh whisper. She was startled by his question and took a step backwards. "Then, I'm going now." She move but Isaac suddenly pinched her buttock using his hand. Ava's eyes widened, her cheeks grew hot in seconds. "You'll regret letting Gregory court you, bitch. Your body's mine," he said with a low voice which sent shivers down her spine. "I-Isaac, we can't do this here. Someone —" Before she could finished her sentence, Isaac pulled her up, making her wrap his legs around his waist, until Isaac put her down on his table. "Look, I-I still need to talk to some important people here. A-And... yes! I still not done on the last two pages of the files you ordered me to do ye
"Thanks for this Gregory. You can leave now," Isaac said, without looking up. Gregory stared at him but follow his order without comment. He's walking at the penthouse' hallway when he saw Ava standing near the window with her back facing him. He smiled and decided to walk towards her. Ava that time can't help but to smile and feel her cheeks burning. She's reminiscing the moment Isaac and her shared inside his office. Even though she knows that it's just a plain sex for him, and there's no love everytime they're doing that, but there's still something about being in his arms... or even having his hands on her... that was enough to make her blush like crazy. After sometime of thinking about what happened between them, she heard Gregory's voice. She then turned around to face him. "Hey!" she greeted him. "Hello. Is everything alright?" he asked, taking his coat off. "What are you thinking? And why you're alone here standing? Just watching the birds outside?" he asked pointing
"I-Isaac," Ava quickly wiped her tears and stood up straight and tried to be calm. "Who fucking give you the permission to enter my room?!" Isaac roared, his eyes filled with rage and fury. As he finish his sentence he immediately slam the door shut. "I'm sorry... I-I..." Ava stuttered while trying to calm down. "No! You're always like that, saying your sorry like it would be enough." Isaac spat. His tone sounded harsh and cold. Ava closed her eyes firmly, and then looked up again. "Can you be honest, Isaac? Don't you still love me?" she asked him, her voice full of hope. Isaac closed the distance between them, as his jaw clenched. "I don't love you anymore, bitch. And loving you before was the most regretful decision I ever made in my entire life." He spat out the words, and it's like the wind got knocked off Ava's lungs. She felt a painful stab on her chest and her stomach turned upside down. "You know what I'm only feeling whenever you're around, huh? It's a pure hatred a
"Is there's anything bothering you, Ava?" Gregory asked as he set the tray of iced tea and biscuits on the coffee table before her. Ava brushed her hands on both her arms. She can't still forget how Isaac make her crazy in pleasure. Everytime she thought about it she felt herself getting hot again. But she can't also set aside the feeling of heartaches. As times goes by, she's losing a hope that she can still correct the mistakes she's done on the past. Every passing moments feels like a torture for her, knowing that Isaac doesn't love her anymore. "Ava?" The concern is growing on his face. He's starting to think something might be wrong with her. She's been like this since they goes out the penthouse when Isaac ordered him and Ralph to do something important. "Huh? Sorry, what you're saying again, Gregory?" Ava forced herself to keep her attention on him. He sighed. "Nothing. Just... Is there anything else wrong?" As much as she tried not to let it bother her, she can't help
Ava's watching how Isaac interact with other guests. He looks handsome with his attire. She really loves to see him smiling, because she knows he doesn't smile all the time when he's with her. Sadness linger in her chest as she watches him, until Gregory interrupts her train of thought by grabbing a hold of her hand. "You look very stunning tonight, Ava," he says with that beautiful smile on his face and his deep voice filled with affection. "Thank you, Gregory. You too," she smiles back at him. It's always nice being with Gregory, who makes her feel like she's the most important person in his life. "Hm, really? But why it's Isaac who only caught your attention tonight?" he asks, teasing her while he squeezes her fingers lightly in his. "O-Of course, not. I'm not actually watching for him. I was just enjoying the view of this venue," she lies, although she realizes her lie is stupid once it leaves her mouth. After a while, Ralph with a small tray of champagne glasses approaches
"Did you talk to her?" Ralph asked Isaac when he saw him coming back, but Isaac didn't seems to heard him, instead he just walk past him, heading towards the waiter who's holding a tray with champagne. He grabbed one glass and drank all of it, Ralph watched his every move. "What's wrong with him?" he mumbled to himself and then went on his way. "Bro, what happened? You look like crap." Isaac ignored Ralph's comment, as he grab another bottle of champagne from the waiter. "Hm, I'm so curious now what did you see there for you to come back here with that cold face," Ralph added, while Isaac caught of Ava and Gregory already walking back to their seats. Ralph noticed the firm hold of Isaac on the glass, making him glance at where he's looking. Meanwhile, after Ava and Gregory was sitting down again. "Are you alright now?" Gregory asked, concerned, Ava nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. "Ahm, Gregory... A-About the kiss, I'm sorry. Can we just forget it? You know...
"Erica?" she hugged him. Isaac didn't expect that Erica will return tonight without even telling him about it. "Yes, it's me, babe!" she exclaimed, and released the embrace from Isaac. He looked around, and he doesn't understand why he wants to see Ava's reaction. "Aren't you happy?" Erica pouted, making him turned to face her again. He smiled, and hold her hand. "Welcome back, babe!" he hugged her again, as he simply glance at Ava with Gregory by her side. Isaac saw her staring at him, her expression still looks like sorrow. There, he take the chance to act very sweet towards Erica to make her feel more the heartaches. "Mr. Foster, you didn't tell that Ms. Henslay will be here too!" "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Henslay!" "We are glad that we finally saw the soon to be wife of Mr. Foster." Ava watched how the crowd welcomed her fiancee. She felt like someone hit her chest when they called her Isaac's soon to be wife. But there's nothing more painful than to see how Isaac a
Isaac park his car on the penthouse' parking deck. He's just got back after he drive Erica home, since she go directly at the party a while ago, so she needs to inform her family that she's back. He immediately noticed Gregory standing at the entrance, seems like he's intentionally waiting for him. "Isaac, can we talk?" Gregory ask him as he approached him. Isaac continue walking inside, Gregory's following him. "Gregory, I'm already tired. Just drop it for now if it's not important, okay?" Isaac said sternly. He wants to be alone right now. "Bro, it's something really serious. I believe that you should hear me out, because it's just simply about your ex-girlfriend," Gregory said. Isaac stopped walking and turned towards him. "What? You are going to tell to stop doing my revenge? I thought you are my friend, Gregory? You just fall in love with that woman and here you are now, trying to tell me what's right and wrong?" Isaac asked coldly, his anger rising. "I'll get to the po
