CHAPTER 57

JEREMIAH'S P.O.V

"You better pray you're bulletproof, Mr. Ashburn." Amethyst. "Jeremiah."

Macam lain dia sebut nama saya. Macam... marah.

Apa bah dosa saya ni?

I thought we were good just a few days ago, kissing and making out.

I don't want to remember saat-saat yang memalukan bila saya berhabis mengetuk dan membunyikan loceng rumah Amethyst, tapi tidak kena layan.

But am I giving up to win her? No. Absolutely no.

I am Jeremiah Ashburn. What I set my mind and heart to, I will execute it until I obtain it.

And that's including Amethyst Abraham.

Why am I in KL, right, if not for my pretty little mabuk.

Bukan alang-alang lagi tu saya terus beli condo just next door to Amethyst.

How do I know where she lives? Buat apa ada abang yang kahwin an Abraham. Tsk. Ngam-ngam lagi the condo memang on sale for quite some time sudah.

Jadi memang lama sudah saya mengambil keputusan mengikut hati dan fikiran saya.

Saya mau AMETHYST.

Dia satu-satunya wanita yang saya mau dan saya akan dapatkan dia walau dalam apa keadaan sekalipun. Termasuk perlu berhadapan dengan Axel Abraham.

Yes, termasuk Axel Abraham.

Baru saya mau throwback my encounter with Axel Abraham masa dia di Sydney hari tu, tiba-tiba lamunan saya terhenti.

Ouch! Punya sakit tu laser kena suluh di mata saya.

"You want to contribute some ideas, Mr. Ashburn?" Amethyst memandang saya garang. "Or you just want to sit there being useless?"

Useless?

Bila masa saya useless?

Then I looked at the table in front of me.

Kosong. Saya memang tiada bawa apa-apa file. Saya cuma bawa diri saya saja to the meeting.

"How about finishing up one of the projects invested by the investor during the Investors Conference?" Amethyst melemparkan saya tatapan sinis.

I'm tapping my fingers on my lap.

Control, Rem, control.

Work is work, Rem.

Don't...

Tapi terkeluar setan saya mau menguji dan menjahili si Amethyst.

"Which investor, hmmm, Miss Abraham?" Saya tersenyum miring. "Can you name it? I need further clarification. As you can see, I'm paper-less today."

Paaap, I slammed my palms lightly on the meeting table to proof my point of being paper-less.

"The UK investor." After a little too long she finally replied.

"Name?" I gave her a bored look.

"Chester Corporation...?" That sounded like a question. Dia cuba membuat muka confident tapi saya tau dia menggelabah sudah underneath all that pretense.

"CHEVIS UK Incorporation, Miss Abraham." Hah, one bullet dodged, one bullet hit. I had to pray that I'm bulletproof, remember?

Amethyst's eyes flashed with anger. Kenapa mau marah saya? Dia yang tidak ingat siapa tu investor sedangkan dia yang hadir masa tu conference. Saya pula sedang cirit-birit masa tu. Okay, this part, saya benci tu receptionist di depan tadi. I saw her covering her mouth and sniggering. Sempat saya terdengar sayup-sayup kata-kata dia 'tut'. Kau tengok ah, perempuan, saya kasi transfer kau jadi cleaner tandas, biar kau tercium kentut seumur hidup kau!
