Parting Ways - Eisuke (Part 1)

It's been a year being together with Eisuke, but life slowly gets rough. Eisuke been tied up at work with the upcoming launch of Tres Spades in London, he've been away to Europe for a month now. You felt alone and neglected.

This morning, you went up the Penthouse to see all of the guys there, Soryu, Baba, Ota and Mamoru gathering around the table over some magazines and newspapers. You walk towards the table to see the highlights printed "Heir of Ichinomiya Group spotted in London linking arms with french daughter of Shimizu Corporation" you pick up the magazine and no, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. It's really Eisuke on the cover page.

you: Isn't the lady...we saw in Switzerland? She's...Eis..
Mamoru: Ex-girlfriend, yeah. Claire Shimizu.
Baba: Now now Mamo, it's not a good time to scare _____.
you:I'm sure it's just paparazzi's stirring rumors up.
Mamo: That's some confidence you got there kid. But Eisuke once loved her deeply too.

Mamo walks away nonchalantly. "I'm sure boss will come back soon! don't worry ___!" Baba comforts you, but Mamo's words kept ringing in your head.. Eisuke haven't called you in weeks and later that afternoon, after you're done cleaning the Penthouse and about to take the lift down, the lfit door slides open...it's Eisuke........and....?....It's Claire Shimizu, his ex-girlfriend.

"Eisuke..." you mumbled. "_____, give me 5 mins, i'll get to you once i'm done" Eisuke goes straight to his office even without looking at you, as Claire following closely behind and shot you that death stare as if you're a pest.

Your mind just went blank. You've been waiting for him to come home after a month, but he's coming back with his ex-girlfriend? So they were indeed together in London..your mind starts to run wild but you try to keep your composure and finishes your work before going to Eisuke.

After your shift ends, Eisuke paged for you and you went to his Penthouse, "_____, i'm sorry i was really busy with work." he speaks but still on his laptop, not paying attention to you still.

You: Is this really how you're gonna talk to me?, we need to talk, Eisuke...
Eisuke: Why are you talking to me in that tone and being mad now?
You: I've been waiting for your call for days and weeks, you didn't called and I'm okay with that. But despite all the news of you being spotted in London with your ex-girlfriend linking arms together and now you're back after a month, with your ex-girlfriend, did you even ask if how i was doing the past month? am i okay with your ex-girlfriend coming over? You didn't even stop to look at me for one sec, Eisuke. you really have no idea how i'd feel.
Eisuke: _____, you know i've been telling you umpteen times to trust me.
You: Your actions are not telling me to trust you. it seems like you're prioritizing your business deals with her instead of me.
Eisuke: Do you know what you're saying _____? i thought we agreed not to interfere with each's job? And meeting Claire was nothing more than a business deal, it's important that the Shimizu Corp is pulling a lot of investors in London for the new Tres Spades.
You: Yes i know what i'm saying because i can see Claire is your priority now since you need her this much for your 'business deal'.
Eisuke: I can't believe you're saying this, i guess we're done here.
You: Really? Done? Fine!
