[12] Never let the Greed unwatched

Y/n Pov:

Since his Family left him eveything seemed fine in his company. At some days he had a bit of a struggle with the fact, that the sales weren't rising as fast as maybe possible, but with a bit of soft talking nothing seemed to be an issue.

After all this time I was sure Onceler wouldn't get back to his greedy behavour. So we got to the conclusion that it was the perfect time I would go on a buissness trip to get in touch with more Citys, so we could sell Thneeds there aswell. He still wanted to expand his company and there was no reason not to do that. It was a long trip, maybe a moth or so, because there was a perfect route to get into the most various places. It would have been dumb not to go to these citys at once.

To be honest, Onceler wanted to go with me or let it do somebody else, because he didn't want me to leave at my own, but we both knew that this wasn't possible. He had to stay at this company, because a long trip like that would get some serious consequences and he said himself, that he would hate to let anybody else do those kind of buinssess trips. He just doesn't trust that many people.

It was quite hard for me too to say goodbye to Onceler for such a long time and especially with that small fear he would lost track again. But I want to believed in him, so there is no room for doubt. With one last hug and kiss we said goodbye to eachother.

The trip was pretty stressful. Most of the time I was driving, only to see the town for maybe an hour or so, because I had to go to the meetings right away. Only sometimes I could sleep in hotels when it was really late at night and the driver had to get rest aswell.

Even with all this it was still a once in a lifetime experience. There were so many cultures and ways to live I've never seen before and I got so lucky with the partners Onceler choose for me. Almost all of them wanted to sell Thneeds in their town and they were even okay with that fact that the resources aren't endless because of our conservation.

When the trip was getting to its end I felt how lonely I got in this short time. I missed how he would hold me, kissed me and just smiled at me. I promised myself that the second I'm back, I'll cuddle him to death.

One month was over faster than ever. On one side it was good to see Onceler back again, but it would have been nice to enjoy these new towns a bit more. Even though it wouldn't be the same without him.

What I didn't expected was the dirty air coming from the factory. There was no way, was it? I'm just imagining things.

But the closer I got the more I saw what I was feared of. Some parts of the forest were gone again, machines everywhere, almost no workers to see and dirty air, making it harder to breath. Why, just why? And most importantly, how?

I wasn't even that mad. I was confused and disappointed to think that it would be that easy. After all this time I should have known better that it wasn't that easy to handle his greed. Even when he wanted to.

When I entered the building I luckily didn't see anyone of his family. So that can't be the reason. I knocked at his door and after a harsh "come in" I carefully got into his office. "Make it quick, I have work to do" His head was still on his desk, not noticing who was entering. "I'm back.. Oncie. Could you maybe explain to me what happend here?" My voice was a bit scared of how he changed so much, as I walked to his desk.

He looked at me, with wide eyes "y/n, you back already?! W-wait, it's not what it looks like, I swear!" Now he was scared now that he saw me. It was clear that he didn't change that much after all. I crossed my arm at his obvious lie. "That doesn't anwser my question.." Quickly he got up from his chair "I don't know how it happend! When I saw how many more people were interested in buying I thought that just for a week we could chop some trees for a bit and then just stop after while. But it just got even worse and worse. I just don't know how to stop and-" He talked fast and really hectically.

"Oncie, stop talking, please.." I sighted when he just watched at me looking away from him "I was really looking forward on you being able to actually handle all this for at least a month, but it seems like your greed is a part of you you'ill never let go of."

He looked down, not daring to looks in my eyes anymore. "I'm sorry.. I really am.." With that silence got into the room. This is when I asked myself how this had become like this. We were strangers that just started to have fun together while getting closer and closer over time. But after that every time we got even closer something just pushed us miles away somehow. At least it felt like it when stuff like this happend again. Was it us, was it the company or was it something else that causes this? I didn't matter did it..

"Let's just clean up this mess and never do this again. We just do those kind of things always together, okay?" He looked up again and got around his desk to give me a big hug. "Thank you so much.. For a moment I though you would think about going away.." I hugged him back, burying my face in his chest "I promised you I wouldn't." I managed to muffle into his chest.

"Good, because I would never let you go"

I looked at him with disbelive if I heard this right "What..?"

"Nothing" he smiled at me "You know.. I though about huggung you the moment you would have came back" The Onceler said when he looked down at me, still smiling. I ignored the weird sentence he just said and giggled at bit at that. "Thats interesting, because I had the same thought."

Warm hands petted my hair as he didn't let go of me. "That good to hear that you missed me as much as I did. There would be nothing I wouldn't do so your happily at my side" His lovely voice sounded so pure in this moment and I just couldn't help but close my eyes to fully lean into his touch again.

His other hand got down to my waist to stroke it too. "Y/n.." He pleaded with a whisper. "I need you, you know.." He was so lucky that I missed this kind of love from him way too long aswell. "Me too, Oncie..." A kiss was the last thing I did, before I couldn't think straight anymore.
