Chapter Thirteen

[Rachel's POV]

"Where is Mr. Chris?" John looked around at the empty office. He screened at me while I continue to pack the messy document files on Chris' table.

"Director is not around. Maybe you would like to come back another day." I casually left a remark. Not in a mood to be professional. It's so hard to focus as the torn apart me still haunting me even till work place.

"You should know that investment proposal needs his approval before I can get my men to start working on it." He sat on one of the sofa like an arrogant general. Waving at me of his authority like he could eat me up.

I was furious. Standing up straight in front of him, my eyes brought cold attention to him.

"My apology Mr. Ang. It's still a matter of Director's decision to approve or not." Emphasizing that under his string of Yu-San's relationship, he's still Chris' subordinate.

"I doubt so. If Yu San were to know that he has got into Kathy's up-skirt. I wonder how furious would Yu San be." He smirked as he stood up.

"What you mean?" Cautioned about his sentence, there was some piece of betray heard. Chris was with Kathy and what's with Yu San and Kathy. Didn't the rumour and almost every one could see that John was very close with Kathy.

"Kathy is ..." He stick his head a little nearer till I could hear his breath, " his mistress."

The laughter hailed out of the office and along the corridor. It was signalling the victory and something bad would happen.

Hurriedly, I dialed a few numbers to get through Chris'  mobile phone. 

"Chris!" I shouted in panic.

He was angry, landed in silence.

"What happen to you and Kathy?" I frowned at my question.

Hoping inside my heart that they were clean. Imagining the worst could happen to him if he really had a thing with Kathy. On the other side, I had tolerated much about Grace and it was too much for me to accept Kathy. Knowing that I didn't have any right to be even upset, I couldn't feel any better still.

"It's just a normal thing. One night stand. It's better to have do it with not related people." His word sounded with sacarsm.

I covered my mouth. Breathing with effort to stop the tears coming off so easily. He is ashamed of me and now he even spike me with those words. 'Not related people'

Putting down the phone as I hung up on him. That was the last I could take it. I didn't want that kind of parents but why did I deserve to be crudely despised like that. Even to that extent from someone I love dearly.

Bend down on the carpet as I found myself leaning against the table. I sobbed hard, almost till I couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. A text message shown.

[Grace will be moving in tomorrow. Either you move out and let her stay or I can share mine with her.]

I dropped the phone, embracing my pain. Letting out the loud cries as I hailed for the things that were gone. The person whom I believed will felt me had turned his back against me.

[Grace's POV]

"How are you so sure that he will let you move in?" Ms. Greene stir her coffee with a metal spoon as it let out a nice aroma. She looked at the woman seating opposite with doubts.

"I knew exactly that he will." Smirking at my plans. I have got it all.

"He might have fall in love with Rachel already." Folding her arms as she didn't want to be defeated.

"The girl has her own shame. If she were to assume that Chris knew and Chris assumed otherwise..." I looked at Ms. Greene with evil grins.

Hand gestured of a gun with my right hand."Bang"

"Then, I will move in." Smiling at her as I revealed.

A vibration sounded in my pocket. Taking it out as I wondered if it was time. I handed Ms. Greene the phone that a new message has just arrived.

"I will let you be the one to open the ceremony." Folding my arms as I watched her expression.

Her frowning with suspicions of my words turned green. She watched the message with astonishment. Looking up with me as she spaced out.

"How ...." Her confusion continue to fold in suspension.

[How about you get ready and pack up your stuff. I will fetch you tomorrow to move in with me.] - Chris 

"What do you want?" She watched my expression with caution.

I could see her feeling afraid of my motives. Isn't such a fun thing to create tornadoes and storm before the Queen sets in?

Laughing under the breath as I watched them like my pawns. Jumping on the square that I placed them to. The chess board would only have one utimate winner in the end.
