Ep-5
"You loved me by planting flowers in my lungs, and now I can breathe no longer"
Arin sits in her car, frantically scrolling through her phone for a certain number. Cold sweat runs through face as her vision become increasingly blurry
Arin
(How.....this was never supposed to happen! What is Wrex even thinking?!)
Arin
*calls Wrex* (Just pick up already) *taps her fingers on the car handle*
The call doesn't reach Wrex multiple times
Arin
(Is he purposefully ignoring me!? We have got a real situation here and he is playing these games now?!)
Arin
*talks to her driver* The destination's changed, Mister. Take me to the City Center Hospital
Arin
(Giving such short replies to me? Nah, I don't have any time to waste my thoughts on him)
Emris
*yawn* It's 8am already
Emris
I would've finished an hour at work by now.....if I was working
Emris
I was hardly getting by the last few months
Emris
And now I need to go job-hunting again. *sighs*
Emris
It's like life can never give me a break....well at least it's better than whatever I faced yesterday
Emris
*makes instant noodles* I hope I got paid for my work yesterday.....even if I shouted and humiliated her in front of her employee, she won't be immature enough to not pay me, right?
Emris
*picks up the call and puts up a fake corporate tone* Hello, how may I help you?
Emris
*checks the number* Ahhh...! (I should've saved her number and blocked her yesterday)
Emris
Director you haven't paid me my work's worth yet, I want you to remember that before talking further
Reize
.....how long are you going to pretend to not know me?
Reize
(Can't say I am disappointed even)
Reize
(For the only one I am disappointed on is me)
Emris
If it's not related to work, I am cutting the call. Please wire me the money as soon as possible
Reize
Wait! Look down from your window
Emris
Eh? *peeks through his window*
Emris
What's the meaning of this?!
Emris
You stalked me yesterday!? *asks angrily*
Reize
(So that's how low I look to you?)
Reize
*gives a forced smile* You post your works all over Linsta for thousands of people to know and the moment I do it's suddenly a crime?
Reize
If you were going to leak all your personal data anyway, you should've shown your face online too....it would have made the search way easier for me
Emris
(What search is she talking about?)
Emris
*smirks* I was worried that if I posted my looks online, my Linsta will be flooded with DMs asking for dates
Reize
*taken aback* (What's with this confidence? I didn't want to admit but ever since I met him again yesterday, he is showing an attitude I would have never expected from Emris 5 years back)
Reize
So you finally accepted your good looks now, huh?! The confidence, the cockiness....time changed you and aged you like fine wine
Reize
*shouts back at the window* The best part? It's all for me and just me. You didn't act this way on the phone or with Dina after all
Reize
I am loving this new shade of yours *smiles suggestively*
Emris
*blushes from the word "love"* Shameless as always....
Emris
Hmph! You think I would hesitate to call the police on you?
Reize
What are they going to do? Fine me?
Reize
Fines are punishment for the poor, it's fine if I do it *shines her card*
Emris
(I knew she was crazy rich but this is just frustrating!)
Reize
I am not asking more from you, just come down and I will pay you for yesterday
Emris
Why will the Director herself come over to "pay" her worker?
Reize
Emris, I have a special gift for you
Reize
*smiles at his eyes*
Emris
(I hate her smile, I hate the way she looks at me!)
Emris
(But the thing I hate the most is how much control that smile still got on me)
