When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Clack!” Suddenly the cup that John held was being released and it landed on the table producing a sound. “If you are really unperturbed, why did you leave Fuller Corporation so disgracefully? Letty, if you truly don’t care about it, then you should divorce Ashton quickly for the sake of your pride.”

“It is none of your business how I want to divorce or the way in which I use to divorce. John, I appreciate your concern. However, it is just appreciation. Please don’t get involved in my matters in the future. Since we used to be siblings, I am begging of you!”

With that, I turned my back. “Thanks for the tea, both of you. It’s getting late and I need to go back now!” I left the private room without waiting for their reply.

Soon after I left the room, a smashing sound of the glass from inside could be heard faintly. Nevertheless, I didn’t really stop but walked along the corridor to go down the stairs.

Macy was at the lobby of the cafe waiting for me. She stood up and trotted towards me upon seeing my appearance. She worriedly asked, “Are you okay? Did he cause any trouble?”

I shook my head while grabbing her hands tightly. “Nope. It is late now. Let’s go home!”

She looked up and glimpsed at the second floor dreadfully. John with an emotionless face had already come out from the private room as he stood along the corridor watching us quietly.

She then grabbed me tightly and nodded. “Alright. Let’s go home!”

We left the cafe while she held my hands without turning her head back.

It was past midnight by the time we reached our neighborhood. Upon taking a simple shower, we went to bed together. Recently, I had an unexplained fear which resulted in me not being able to drop off alone. Luckily, Macy was sleeping by my side. With her company, I slept through the night.
