Corporate Love

Chapter 19

VEE POV

I woke up from my deep sleep as soon as I heard the clinking of plates and glasses sound from the kitchen. I stretch my body and massage my temple for a minute to ease my headaches. I take a glance at the table clock and the time shows around 9.00 in the morning.

Around 4 in the morning, I arrived at the house after staying over more than 3 hours at the community park, crying, not wanting to go home to see Mark's face but yet I have no choice but to return home at the end of the day.

Today is the weekend anyway, no plans just sitting at home and relaxing. On usual days, Mark and I will go out and just spend our time together, but now I guess I have to familiarise myself with this new norm weekend routine which already started yesterday as we already sleeping separately.

I quickly hop into the shower and do all the necessary hygiene routines before heading out to get some breakfast. As soon as I left my bedroom, I saw Mark already sitting in the dining area with the two-plate breakfast he made.

"Vee, let's have breakfast." He said as soon as seeing my presents.

I take a look at the plate that served scrambled eggs, hotdogs, toast bread and a glass of americano.

"It's okay," I said and went to sit on the sofa and turn on the tv.

"Vee, eat something, or you will get a stomachache. Yesterday you didn't eat well."

That was when my stomach started to make a rumbling sound and I can't defend him anymore since he already heard the sound. I sighed and get up to take the plate and coffee to sit on the sofa and continue watching tv while eating my breakfast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After all, it was really a quiet weekend. I just laying and resting on the sofa watching tv then when Mark approached me as he was about to have a conversation.

"Vee, can we talk for a while?"

I sighed heavily knowing he won't let me be at peace until I let him talk.

"I would appreciate it if you listen to me once, please."

"What?" I asked while fixing my posture in a sitting position on the sofa.

"Phi Earth, your friend...called me yesterday."

"Mhhmm, so?" I asked while scrolling through my phone.

"He asked me to come to the police station on Monday for enquiry."

"Okay. Anything else?" I asked

"Vee, the thing is..."

I looked at him when there was silence filled in the living room. I noticed that he was really looking uncomfortable and troubled about what he going to say to me.

"What?" I asked

He jerked a bit, composed himself and continue to talk.

"Vee, your friend...he call me last night and was talking about something that's not even related to me."

"Even......" He sighed heavily

"When he enquiry me he wasn't doing it professionally."

"Then how should he enquiry you? Bringing you to the five-star hotel isn't it?" I asked with a sarcastic tone.

"Vee, listen to me first, please. I don't know if you'll believe me or not."

"But...the thing is he tried....to...molest me at the police station."
