Chapter 27
Anya walked in front of Andrius who looked appalled. She faced him with astonishment.
“What happened? Do you know my friend, Carla?”she asked him while frowning.
She wondered why her friend was like that. She looked angry earlier.
Out of sheer shock Andrius turned to her. He looked uncertain. He could not even look into her eyes which surprised her even more. Andrius was always full of himself. He always has an intimidating aura and arrogance. But, the Andrius in front of her now was different. This one lacked confidence.
“Baby, I-“Andrius didn’t even know how to start his words. He always wanted to tell her but he was scared of the consequences. He was scared of losing her. He knew he fucked up big time when he lied to Anya, but that was the best thing he could ever think to keep her for himself.
Anya raised her eyebrows like a strict mother who scolded her kids. She folded her arms on her waist and looked at him intently. After a few, she laughed sarcastically. Or, was it really a laugh? She did not know if she was laughing or sobbing. As far as she knew, she was hurting. She was hurt by the realization. She was hurt because of Andrius and Carla.
Yes! She just found it out.
“When? Why’d you not tell me?”she asked him. She tried to hold back the tears that were forming in her eyes. She blinked a few more times just to suppress it.
Andrius still couldn’t look at her. He just bends over as it looks like a gentle sheep with shoulders down. Anya waited for him to speak but she was even more annoyed that he did not.”Shit! You asshole!”she shouted at Andrius as she pushed him softly.
Andrius was shocked by what she did but he let Anya. She looked like an amazon. He never thought an angel like her would become a tigress in just a snap.
“I’m sorry, baby,”he answered Anya.
Anya couldn’t hold her tears anymore. She cried after Andrius said those words. She looked for a couch because she seemed to fall. Her knees wobbled and she was unwell. When her eyes hit the couch in front of Andrius’desk she walked towards it. She sat down and calmed herself. She even swallowed hard because her head was throbbing which brought her pain. As soon as she finished, she turned to Andrius who was just in front of her.
“Are you okay, baby?”Andrius asked. He looked worried.
Anya stared at Andrius. How could she be better if she knew her friend was hurting because of her? How could she be well if she was in agony now because of them?
A while ago she said something else. That Andrius might be the one for her. That he might not hurt her. But there was none. He was just like other men. Fraudsters. He was just like Bryan. He will only use girls to get what they want.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She stopped sobbing. Her heart hurt so much. The thought of being played by her exes pained her more. Maybe she wasn’t made for this. Maybe, relationship wasn’t for her.
“Please! Answer me, please…”Andrius approached her and bowed slightly to hold her.
Anya calmed herself and wiped away the tears with a handkerchief. Then, she bravely faced him. She must first decide for herself. Her Pappi was right. She needed to guard her heart.
“I want to resign. I can’t work with you, the same as before.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“No! That’s bullshit baby!”
“Please…”Anya pleaded to Andrius. Even her eyes were pleading as well. She wanted to rest first. She wanted to think first. Was it too hard for Andrius to give that to her?
Andrius was pacing back and forth. He also didn’t not know what to do. He was restless. He didn’t like the idea ofAnya leaving. He was scared because he wasn’t ready. He was never ready for everything. Even when his father died, he wasn’t ready. Especially when he handles his business, he has no preparation.
He abandoned his first love. He forgot everything around him. He accepted all the responsibilities. He isolated himself and focused on his business. He came on top, but he was not happy. And then Anya came. She changed his dull life. She brought color to it. He became more excited to do his work. Everything changed because of Anya. She changed his life so he could be what he wanted.
Andrius turned to Anya and shook his head at her. He stared into her eyes as he sat in front of her sitting on the couch of his office.
“You can’t just resign as my secretary. Annual ball for the company is coming. I need you!”Andrius said, emphatically. He wanted to prove something to her. He wanted her to see something in his eyes. But, there was none. Anya just stared at him emotionless.
“Ah, that’s it! It’s not because you are the CEO, I have no right to resign! This is my life. I will decide!”Anya snapped. She lost her temper. Andrius was very stubborn. She only wanted space.
“It’s not because I love you! You can do whatever you want with my company. I’m still the boss here. I can’t. And that’s final!”Andrius replied.
At what Andrius said Anya stood up. She confronted him with an angry look and waved. She even laughed foolishly.
“Ah, is that so? You love me but you kept Carla a secret from me? You love me but you didn’t say, you are my friends Fuck buddy? You love me but you hurt me. You lied to me! But go ahead, I’ll give it to you because of the Annual Ball!”Anya kept shouting at him. She was about to walk back at him when she suddenly felt another pang of pain. She sat back on the couch. Andrius quickly attended and supported her. While she was holding her head, eyes were still closed.
“Are you okay, baby?”Andrius asked Anya worriedly. He even stroked her back.
Anya wanted to leave but she just felt bad.”I want to rest. I want to go home. I can’t work, Andrius. Please…”she said. She opened her eyes and looked at him beside her. Anya’s eyes were weary. It seemed painful and sad.
Andrius sighed. He knew she was tired from what they did a while ago and he blamed himself for that. He went all the way. He didn’t leave any part of her untouched. He marked her. All of her. He sighed. He lifted her up like a newlywed. She objected but did nothing.
His every move was fast. He was worried. Her face was pale and looked very tired. He did not know where to take her. Whether in the hospital or at home.
“I’m okay here. I can handle myself from here.”
“But you’re not fine,”he answered Anya before glancing at her.
“Why do you know better than me?”Anya was mad again. It was evident in her voice.
“Why the stubbornness?”Andrius snapped. He also had a headache because of Anya. It was the main reason why he prefers mature women. They were easy to tame. But Anya, she was just too much. But, he loved her.
“I hate you. At least one day let me go first. And.. and Carla. I need to fix things up with her. Because you lied to me. I will not give you up. I just need time to think,”Anya said to Andrius one after another.
Andrius just sighed and dropped his shoulder. There seemed to be nothing he could really do. He booked a Grab for Anya. They waited for the two of them. They were both silent inside the car. He just glanced at the girl sitting in front.
“I’m sorry,”Andrius broke the silence.
“I hope you told me right away. We would never have reached this point,”Anya answered him and sighed afterwards.
“I don’t want to lose you. I’m scared. That’s why”he said and grabbed her hand. He held it tightly.
“You lose me, when you lie to me,”she answered him emphatically.
Andrius glanced at Anya and just sighed. She looked like nothing could stop her. She seemed to have no choice but to agree with her. He needed to accept it. She needed space. He would only give space, not her freedom.
When Anya’s Grab car arrived she quickly got off. But, Andrius’hand was faster to stop her.
“What?”she asked.
“Can I ask for one kiss from you?”
Anya quickly turned her gaze to Andrius. She frowned and raised an eyebrow. She gave an unbelievable look.”I don’t know if you are insensitive or what! I’m really mad at you. You’ll even ask me for a kiss!”
Andrius nodded. He was a fuckboy, yes! But, when a fuckboy fell in love, they fell hard. He fell hard. He was drowning and Anya was the only one who could save him.
“Please,”he muttered to her like a child.
“No!”Anya said firmly and lost his grip. She came out and slammed the door of his car.
Andrius watched her leave. When she finally got on the Grab, he just shook to himself. Looked like he had to tame Anya. Woo her. By hook or by crook.
