Do I Like You? (ENGLOT)

10: The Calm Before the Storm

Charlie seemed unbothered when her friends dropped her off of her place about but now with no one else around, her knees fell weak to the floor and tears cascaded down her face down to her neck.

All the hurt that she tried to hide for three years overflowed, it broke like a dam - a dam of tears. To think that she knew deep inside her heart that she still hoped for a future with Farrah. She told herself once that she would forget the past and start anew with her if Farrah would just give light to what truly happened and ask for forgiveness.

With all of what could have been, the truth slapped her back to reality. Farrah had hurt her, deliberately, which love could not compare to.

Charlie was left to succumb in sorrow while Nesa continues to fight for her life back.

Maxine had informed her just now that Charlie and Hillary asked her for the truth.

'Now she knows, thank god I didn't need to face her wrath.'

It wasn't actually the plan she had in mind to revealing it to Charlie but it worked so she'll take the win.

She is tired of the one being 'blamed' and the one that has to leave for it.

Now that Charlie knows, she wants to face Farrah. She knows that the older woman is still head-over-heels for Charlie and vice-versa so she'll have to make use of both of them to bring the shadowy figures to light.

Just like clockwork, she followed Farrah into her apartment. The woman just came from a luxury brand signing for a new partnership.

Farrah was about to close her door but got jumpscared by Nesa's unannounced visit, causing her to cuss at the younger woman.

"F*ck Nesa, what are you doing here?!"

Nesa who is supposed to be scared at Farrah's tone, was chuckling due to her little shriek earlier. "Didn't know you get so scared easily."

Farrah just glares at her and walks off, she didn't say anything when she followed her inside her home.

"I won't stay long. Just needed to tell you something." Nesa announced as she flopped down the couch on the woman's lliving room.

"Then say it and get the hell outta here." Farrah gritted her teeth as she stands in front of Nesa, towering her.

"She knows," Nesa smirked as she looked up at the woman.

Farrah got confused for a second and widened her eyes when she realized what she meant.

"You f*cking bitch!"

She raised her hand, ready to slap her, but controlled herself and stepped away from the younger one.

"I didn't do anything. Maxine told them." She coolly said, shrugging her shoulders.

Farrah glanced at her with furrowed brows, "Them?"

"Yes, Charlie and Hillary."

She sighed heavily knowing how irritating Hillary can get. A series of snide remarks from her is coming her way, she's sure of it.

Hillary is Charlie's best friend and she gets that she hates her for hurting her. Sometimes she wonders if it isn't just about that. 'Does she like her?' often comes to her mind but she and Thalia like each other so she dismisses the thought.

The next day, Boss N called for an emergency meeting with all of his talents and employees because of the circling rumours about illegal drug trade within the company.

The source of the said rumour is still unidentified and he plans to find out, the reason why he called for a meeting. This controversy has caused the company to suffer great losses and he won't sit idly to watch his company plummet down.
