Chapter 9: The Mistake

.
[Knight Corporation – Afternoon]
Eliza stands outside Aria’s office, holding a neatly packed lunchbox. She hesitates before knocking, then pushes the door open slightly.
Inside, Aria sits in her chair, stiff and cold, while a woman leans dangerously close to her, fingers trailing over Aria’s shoulder.
B!tch

*Purring* Come on, Miss Knight. You work so hard… don’t you want to relax a little?
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Voice cold* Move away.

*Ignoring her, leaning closer* Why? I can make you feel—
[CRASH!]
The lunchbox slips from Eliza’s hands, hitting the floor. The sound makes Aria’s head snap up.
Eliza Walton

*Eyes wide, voice shaking* I—I’m sorry…
Before Aria can say anything, Eliza turns and bolts out of the office.
Aria Knight

*Growling, shoving the woman away* Get the hell off me!
B!tch

*Smirking* What’s wrong? Your little maid got jealous?
Aria Knight

*Voice deadly* If you want to keep your job, get out. Now.
The woman flinches at Aria’s tone and scrambles out. Aria immediately grabs her coat and rushes after Eliza.

[Outside the Office Building]
Eliza runs blindly, heart pounding, but Aria catches up, grabbing her wrist.

*Firmly* No.
Eliza Walton
Eliza Walton
*Voice breaking* I— I should’ve known! You’re not the same person, you have changed? Cold, heartless, playing with women like toys—
Aria Knight

*Snaps* Shut up!
Eliza flinches. Aria softens, but doesn’t let go.
Aria Knight

*Quietly* I pushed her away.

*Laughs bitterly* I saw you! She was all over you!
Aria Knight

*Leaning closer* She touched me. I didn’t touch her. I don’t want her. I don’t want anyone but you, Eliza.
Eliza Walton
Eliza Walton
*Breathing uneven* Stop lying…
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Softly* Then look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t feel anything.
Eliza clenches her jaw, looking away. Silence.
Aria Knight

*Smirks* That’s what I thought.
