Chapter 57

I continued to stare at him as he tried to reply to my question but seems like he doesn't know what to say at all.

I closed my eyes while trying to control the thoughts entering my mind right now after hearing his earlier words.

Pity? Why would he think of my actions in that way? When did I even think he is pitiful? I frowned more and more with every passing second until I felt him holding my hand.

A ringtone paused the thoughts in my mind and I opened my eyes to see him taking out his phone with a frown on his face.

"Uncle! What is it?" He asked after clearing his throat.

"This friday? But... those were her shares and she just transferred them to me for money." He added and I stiffened realizing the matter which was very small in my mind is not at all like that.

"Okay! I will prepare for the meeting." Saying that he cut the call and rubbed his forehead.

"What happened?" I asked putting away everything else from my mind after seeing his expression.

"There is going to be an emergency meeting called by a few shareholders about today's incident and also about the shares in your name. I didn't even get half of your shares to my name." he replied while staring at his phone.

"Will it be a huge issue?" I asked sitting down beside him in a worried tone.

"My Aunt must have passed the information as my Dad didn't say anything to me." He replied and then glanced at me.

"Your Dad already talked to you and the meeting wouldn't bring any issues, right?" he shook his head negatively.

"That solution was for when this didn't get dragged like this. I will be under scrutiny for any kind of financial moment no matter what will come out of the meeting." He explained and I slowly nodded but not understanding why is this even such a big deal.

"I know, this seems silly and it is actually silly. Others sold ten times the shares and bought the same way previously but the issue arises only when I do it." He added seeing my expression.

"I need to make a few calls to the people whose stand is important to me." He mumbled in a low tone.

"I will go to my study room." Saying that I stood after understanding the meaning behind the words but he held my hand stopping me.

"We will talk about our matter after this issue." He said looking at me and I nodded taking my hand away from his hold before walking towards the stairs.

When I reached the study room, I locked the door and sat down before the laptop, and turned it on.

I rubbed my face feeling lost in all this. From the beginning when the conversation started about the things that happened with his Dad, felt not that good but then when he said he likes me, all those things didn't matter.

I didn't mean to bring up the past and it was completely in general but somehow heard the most absurd reason for his actions for my confession.

Maybe it wouldn't have mattered if it was just then... actually I would have gotten upset for some time and let it go because not everyone's minds go like we personally wish. However, his thinking is the same as last year and doesn't actually believe my actions and words completely.

Then why does he even like me if he thinks I just pity him? The more I think about it, the more I am feeling uncomfortable.

My phone ringtone startled me and I checked to find it is Han. Last week, she suddenly asked for my number and I gave it to her generally but the very next day she called me.
