⚠️TW: Homophobic remarks
Charlotte's POV
Looking for ways to understand Engfa better as my client, I went to the club where she will be performing, and I am bringing my best friend, Marima with me so I am not lonely.
In her eyes, I know I am cold to her since I only care about whether she is going to do well in her dance performance for her upcoming concert. Because I am a workaholic, all I think is work, not the relationship between me and the client. After what happened in the past, I always get accused of being romantically involved with all my clients.
Still, I am not heartless to not care about my client's performances. That's why I am currently watching her from afar, although she was looking at somewhere else. But when I got a better view of her, instinctively, her eyes were staring at me with determination.
Her eyes were saying something I was most afraid of, and without knowing, I was already running away from the crowd to avoid her, leaving Marima alone. The eyes tickled me to hide, but not until someone tried to reach up for me.
"Hey! Wait.." Engfa called me except I briefly saw her and ran away again like a mouse after Marima intervened in the conversation. What a lifesaver!
Once Marima found me, she mentioned how Engfa was curious about my identity and thankfully my friend didn't give in to the temptation. However, she couldn't help but be curious how an A-list celebrity like Engfa knew about me.
"Is she your client at work?" Marima tried to connect the dots to which I admitted that was the case.
Strangely, she smugly stated something that made me mad for some reason, "You were intrigued by her, didn't you? Hence why you bring me here..."
No matter how much I hear that from someone or my heart, it becomes a burden. At that time, I didn't know these feelings...
If I could undo time, I would turn back time and not agree to work with her because she reminded me too much of my abnormal mother. A woman that loves another woman!
Not wanting to be reminded of my fight with my mom, I went back to the bar for another drink so I could erase my memory of her. As strangers passed by, I was busy consuming my alcohol before seeing Engfa on the ground, looking too drunk to even stand.
I tried to ignore her, but my heart was fighting on its own to take care of her. In the end, I couldn't help but approach her.
When she noticed my presence, I unknowingly cursed at her, "What the hell is this woman doing?" That's the first thing that came to my mind. Too faded to realise her mouth, kissing me out of nowhere, I had to wake the sane out of her and slap her.
Feeling guilty after the slap on her face, I immediately instructed my best friend to help me carry her back to the bar.
"Mar! Can you find her manager? I think she passed out from the alcohol..." I struggled to drag her to the nearest chair since we both had similar body weights.
Marima is protective over a woman so, she works hard to find Engfa's manager even though she doesn't know Fa personally, especially when it's not her obligation to take care of a stranger.
Not long after, Fa's manager recognised the drunk girl who was next to me and thanked us for taking care of her. Again, without any attachment, Marima and I left without asking what her manager was going to do with Fa because it's not our business to bother other people's problems.
However, that was what I said to Mar to keep us away from the bar. But it wasn't the case for me since Fa is too intense to be ignored. Somehow, even though I felt offended by the kissing earlier, at the same time, it was bittersweet for me.
