Swithene's POV

    When our eyes met, I saw how her eyes widen in shock seeing me.

"I... I think I'm disturbing something. Please, don't mind me." She immediately pushed her secretary and was about to make a run towards me meanwhile I repeatedly pressed on the elevator button. I bit the insides of my cheeks to hold the tears threatening to fall.

Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry.

As dramatic as it sounds, she didn't make it in time for the elevator to close. Once it did, I felt my knees give out, with my mind taking too long to process what I have seen. I chuckled bitterly at myself as I let a single tear fall. I chuckled bitterly.

  Oh, when will I learn?

It only took one second seeing Byul get intimate with Elle and freely kissing ON A F*CKING OPEN SPACE!  It was enough to crush me. I just stared at the vivid view of myself through the light illuminating the glass wall.

 I find it hard to breathe. Feels like my heart was being clenched and I find it hard to think of a way to relieve it. Mother's words rang in my ear like the church bell just beside you.

'Learn from me..  Loving your enemy will take you to the edge of a cliff.'

When the elevator dinged, My mind was as blank as a paper. I didn't even have any initiative to move a muscle but just stared at an open hallway.

 Yet, a pair of tiktak shoes stood right infront of me. I ran my gaze up to the owner of the feet and saw the one and only Byul catching her breath. How did she get here so fast? Did she ran through the stairs all the way here?

 "Swiden.." she called out in between her gasps. "Please, let me explain." I don't want to talk about this.

 "We can later. Right now, you should step aside and leave me alone." I quickly lifted myself up and speed walked away from the elevator, wiping the tears falling in my eyes. D*mn these tears falling at the wrong time.

"I-I swear, that didn't mean anything.  It was an accident."  she chased me as I find a way to where the venue is.

"Please, don't ruin the night. What your business with Elle has nothing to do with me. Okay?"

"No, Baby it has everything to do with you."

"Why? Is it because you know that whatever sh*tty thing you do, you always find me being  fine and just crawl back to my space after you're done with me like how you always do?"

 "Seriously why do you have this kind of mindset? I'm not leaving nor replacing you with anybody! Okay?" I chuckled humorously.

 "You expect me to believe that? Are you expecting me to be swept off my feet like a gullible, innocent high schooler like before? Oh right, Maybe you said that because you know that whatever I tell my heart about you, with just one word from you and I'm all wrapped around your fingers, is it not? Is it not why you keep teasing me around with your words? And playing around like you don't have anything more important to do?! "

 "It's not how I want you to feel, clearly you're misunderstanding everything! If you think I'm the type to f*ck around with people I don't like, then you're wrong. You're very wrong because I wouldn't make love to you just to satisfy my own desire and tend my needs or to play around like a d*ck like how you described me to be. Goodness Swithene we're not f*cking teenagers anymore!  I wouldn't be spend my whole christmas with you if you don't mean anything to me and I wouldn't be showing my f*cking face right now if I don't want to fix things where we left off. "

"Byul I-"

"Would I even plan the grandest New Year dinner party and prepare something just for you tonight if you mean nothing to me? No I wouldn't, Swiden because I fucking love you!" I am speechless.

It was the first time I heard Byul's voice crack. She was never this vulnerable to me before and it was the first time I heard her say she loves me. Yet the look on her face held a big dissapointment. I don't know what to say. Should I say thank you because she cleared all the questions I've been dying to ask her or apologize because I've thought so negatively of her?

"So please... believe me when I said that was nothing and give me a chance to make it right for real." she held unto my arms like her life depended on it. I sighed. I feel bad. No,  horrible. Is it even right to be guilty at this time? 

  I felt like tons of weight was being lifted off my chest. I can't believe I would be able to hear the only words I needed to hear to push myself for another step.

 "Do you really mean what you say?" I gently confirmed. "I wouldn't be preparing my *ss off for this event if I have no one to impress to." Right at this moment, she genuinely looks like a crying hamster.

  "No need to cry jeez." I chuckled while wiping her tears. "Tonight was the only chance to express what I really feel about you, not just with words but all of me. The dedication and everything and I thought it was already ruined when she literally lost her balance and shoved herself to me. This b*tch got the advantage, she's taller than me." I know it's not nice to laugh when she's talking seriously at this time, but I did. How can you say that to your own secretary? 

 "It's okay Byul. You've made it clear now and don't call your secretary a b*tch." I discouraged her. "It's a not a very nice thing to say."

"You've said a lot of non-very nice things about me too, should we talk more about that instead?" I chuckled. I can't deny that I cursed Byul in my head numerous times before.

  "I was being nice enough to help her wait for her parents to pick her up and invite them in for a bit but she stepped on the wrong foot . I tried to catch her but she had her face forward and sh*t happened. May sound like a stupid explanation but trust me, that's what happened, nothing more nothing less. I thought I have already ruined the night, the preparation, the Year, everything. So I fired her." My eyes widened.

"WHAT?!"

"Listen, If I don't move and eliminate whoever that's standing between us , then this might probably the last time I'll ever see you." I smiled at her scary yet admiring gesture. But I don't know why I'm having a feeling switch of 180 degree. I know I had a bad feeling about Elle probably because of Yong and Maria's contagious theory that made me believe them but I just didn't expect her to be jobless in less than a month after recently hiring her .

"But it was an accident,  right?" I slowly asked.  She tilted her head.

"Yes. So?"

"You didn't have to do that."

"But I love you so I did. I love you more than my father, my mother and my wealth." Her face now inches away from my face made me feel excited.

  I love seeing her up close. It's like I'm in a dream, watching this knight stare at me with so much admiration melts me everytime.

 "I want to kiss you right now." she whispered and grabbed me by my waist closer to her. We're lucky she rented the whole floor so no one is walking around the halls.

 "Did you rent this place for this specific scenario?" I joked and looked up at her.

Her smirk grew wide and said, "Mhm.."

 Elle, I feel bad but thank you for doing this or else I wouldn't be hearing Byul what she wants to say and having the need to deal with my words stuck in my throat that I've been practicing for days.

  I quickly grabbed Byul's face and kissed her hungrily like I've been starved for over a decade. We're both in heat and starving for each other's body that when she pushed my shoulder away for a second to catch some breathe, I slumped in disappointment.

"I want you all to myself right now but it might take us a lot of time and we'd probably end up missing my surprise." she chuckled lowly. "... and I won't touch you until you give me a proper feedback." my brows furrowed.

"What feedback?" her brow raised and grabbed my hand before making a run up to the flight of stairs to the rooftop..
