"Like I didn't see before." He made an unholy comment causing myself to get angrier than I was already.

"Yeah...but remember not only you." I asserted but regretted the moments when he took one step dangerously towards mine and grabbed me by my shoulder causing my face to slam against his hard chest.


"Don't ever repeat that otherwise, I will regret my action which will be not pleasing for both of us." His face hardened.

"Why did you fire her?" I asked the question once again pushing him away with my both hands as how far I can but he didn't flinch.

"Because I want to." was his stern reply. "Why?" I asked feeling exhausted and depressed.


"She did everything you told by and It turned into the opposite of my favour..." I looked at him, confusion engulfed my brain making me furrow my brows deeper.

"You are so clever, aren't you?" He questioned, sounded like my professor as I got the wrong answer in mathematics yet I tried to prove my answer was correct.


To be continued---

"What do you think? You can stay away from me just because she is helping you through your whole nonsense. Huh? I can see the harness on her eyes whenever she was working with me. I wonder what you told her about your past... I mean our relationship." He raised his brow.

Now thing makes sense that why he fired her. Because she is the one who dared to come between us and he didn't like the way she was acting as my favour. So he fired her and if she is no longer between us, he will get his stinky attitudes on me.

Harith is right. Juliet lost her job because of me, why didn't I think of it earlier that he is capable of doing whatever he wants even it cost a life to get back whatever is rightfully his.

"You shouldn't have done this to her. Her family is depending on her. She.. she just...please." I pleaded with him even though I hate this moment. For now, I wished the earth would open his mouth and swallowed him not giving any trace of his identity.

Why would I wish for earth would swallow me like other people thinks? I can't sacrifice my life for him. I don't want to die so early because I want to live my life with my daughter for a hundred years.

"So what do you say?" He asked bringing me back from my own little battle.

"Huh?" I looked at him and the ground. Why the ground didn't swallow him yet.

"Come out of your strange thought, it will never work." He said fully aware of what I'm thinking right this moment.

"If you are okay with my deal then I will hire her back." He said and started to roll the crystal ball which was kept on his table.

I thought for a moment then let out a loud sigh. If she gets her job back then it's not awful to do what he says at once.

"Okay, deal." I admitted in defeat.

His lips twisted upwards before he spoke and it made me hate him better in my life.

I called Juliet but it went only a voice message. I tried again but no vain.

"I'm sorry." I heard a familiar voice spoke behind my back. Immediately, I recognized the person and turned my heels to face him but his grey eyes filled with full of regret.

"I'm sorry, Riya. It's not my intention to blame you but I did. I'm really sorry. Please." He apologized sincerely.

I was angry when he blamed me for her termination but when the arrogant male monster confirmed me that he had fired her because of me, I forgave Harith but didn't forget his words which were sharper than the knife and his words are not able to forget by a day.

"It's okay. I know who you are." I gave him an assured smile and entered my office. I wanted to talk with Juliet personally.

---

"I can't, Riya." Juliet said after the nth time of me convincing her about taking her job back. "Please Juliet, at least for me. I feel guilty for bringing you into this mess. Please give me a chance to amend my mistake." I asked her clutching her both hands.

"Please." I made a guilty look on my face when her red puffy eyes looked at me which is trying me to say more and more and it has proven that she had been crying from the morning.

Right now I am in her room and we both are having a heated conversation over an hour. She was so adamant about taking her job back.

"Fine." I muttered and slummed my shoulder as feeling defeated. I can't force her and it's not on my list. 'Give her some time.' my self conscious said to me.

Suddenly she hugged me not giving us a place to breathe. I felt more worst when I heard her whimper which is getting louder but I stayed like a statue giving her support as how long she wished to take from me.

"Edy... Edward-- broke up with me." She said between the whimper making myself froze on the spot.

My brain refused to function. How it's possible. He seemed so nice and a good guy. I met him once a time when we were in Juliet's house for dinner. They look so peaceful together. He never broke his girl's heart. I may not good in love but still, I have faith in love.

I rubbed her back up and down in a comforting zone. "It may be a normal fight that you guys get into often". I tried to comfort her.

She unwrapped her hands from me and looked down at her feet then shaking her head as 'No' she confessed: "He ma.. he made clear everything between us." Her voice cracked at the end.

"Why?" I found my voice shuttering but somehow I managed to stay strong for her. It's too much for her. She was indeed in love with him.
