"Thank you for all of this". I broke the silence.
"No worries, I'm glad you like this". He caressed my hands on the railings.
I panicked so I quickly pulled back my hands. I looked at him shocked. My heart beat so fast.
No this is wrong.
"I'm sorry, Liv". He said but I walked away to go to the car.
"Wait! Liv!". He pulled my arm and made me face him.
"Liv!". He called softly but I kept my head down.
"Can you please talk to me without running?!". I lift up my head and remove his hand on me.
"About what?!". I yelled and furrowed my eyebrows.
"Talk about us!". I scoffed. Some people were looking at us.
"There's no need to talk about that". I said and attempted to walk out.
"Stop trying to pretend! Stop running from it!". He responded.
"What about us? We don't need to talk about that in the first place, cause there's no us". I slowly walked away.
"So you're afraid?". I stopped and looked back.
"Afraid of trusting the same person again who broke the trust I gave and the same person who broke me? Yes, I'm afraid". I wiped the tears streaming down.
I get in the car. I looked down trying to hide my face. He gets in the car beside the driver.
We reached the hotel without breaking the silence. I got out and walked straight to the elevator, he got in also. I walked to the corner of the elevator, trying to distance myself from him.
It hits me that we are sleeping in the same room. I facepalm myself in my head.
I slipped on my shoes and went straight to the bed without changing my clothes and all. I pulled the blanket all over my body and hid my face under it.
I started crying silently. How I wish I could hide all the pain. I hope he doesn't see me in this situation.
I'm strong, I'm okay, I'm good, I already moved on, and I'm fine! But what is this? What happened to the person I built for the past few years? What happened to me?
All the things that happened to me throughout the years keep running in my head. All the pain I've been through.
I woke up, feeling my eyes swelling. I slowly opened it. I peek beside me, I saw him sleeping at the end of the bed.
I slowly moved my luggage and got my clothes and went to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror, I took a deep breath before entering the shower area.
I tried to slip all the thoughts in my head. I made sure that I still looked presentable. My eyes are still swollen, good thing I bought shades in case. I put it in and get out of the room.
My eyes widened when I saw him standing in front of me. I didn't look at him and moved away and went to the small living room.
I put on makeup and try my best to cover the swelling. I can't wear the shades all day, It will be disrespectful when we meet other people.

*Ding dong*
Who is that? It's too early for room service. I get up to open the door.
"Good morning, Ma'am. This is your breakfast". The hotel staff said I looked at him confused.
"We didn't order tha-"
"I did". I looked back and saw him shirtless, I quickly looked away.
"Please, come in". I said and opened the door completely.
The staff put it all on the table. He ordered too many for breakfast.
I continue my make up and ignore him who's now eating, he's already in his shirt.
"Are you not eating?". I shook my head.
"I'm still full-". Just then my stomach betrayed me.
"Come, eat here". He chuckled.
I agreed and seated across from him, I ate quietly. I saw him keep on looking at me. I took a last sip of my coffee and got up. I took my medicine that I forgot to take yesterday.
The meeting that was held this morning is for another project with the Shim company again. It went smoothly until we ended at 11:00 AM. We have a total of 3 meetings today.
The next one is just an update with the project that is going on here.
"What happened to your eyes, Ms. Choi?". I got off my shades that's why she saw.
"Just a sting". I lied and give her an assurance smile
We ended at 1:00 PM. We eat lunch with Ms. Caplan before heading back to our hotel.
"Ms. Choi". I looked at the reception desk.
"Your room is now ready...". I nod and thank him.
Finally.
