Chapter 9

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·

I couldn't believe it, I finally looked my opponent right in the eye. This will be a pretty interesting ride. Little did he know that he's one of my game pieces; a game piece I had to get rid of. His company seemed powerful considering the fact that they're helping us after the mess I had created. Therefore,  I needed to play this game as smooth as possible. A smirk grew on my face as I leisurely walked back to my office. 

I let out a sigh as I kicked back on my chair and rested my hands behind my head and dayderamed about what I could do with him. My thoughts were  rudely interrupted by a loud thud. I opened my eyes only to find more paperwork on my desk and in front of it was a frowning Hyuna. "Your father said to deliver these to you and to finish them by tomorrow. It's the paperwork needed to make the co-operation between WeisenBerg and JJ corporation to be official." 

"Thanks." 

With that, she left my office without even doing a slight bow or anything. No respect. I just shook my head and grabbed one of the folders that Hyuna dropped off. WeisenBerg Corporation was written across the top and every information regarding the company was listed underneath. The list was quite vague so I decided to do some more research on this company. Plus, I needed to know more information about the enemy anyway. 

I was dumfounded by the links that popped up. The company was very well off! Almost everything seemed to be about how this company was in a continuous boom since it was established back in 2008. But something caught my eye. It was a forum regarding the CEO's son. It seemed that he was involved in some controversy of some sort. Being the curious person that I am, I clicked on it and my eyes immediately went wide with what I read. 

Comments ranged from "What a disgrace! I can't believe he will be the future CEO of WeisenBerg Corp when he can't even handle his own finances well!"  to "He must have his reasons. We all make mistakes in life and I think it's unfair that he is being judged by some choices that he made with his personal life." 

I wanted to know more about this issue of his and decided to search him up. It turns out that he borrowed some of the companies money to gamble in Las Vegas just last month and hasn't paid his debt since. A smirk slowly turned into a smile and from there I couldn't help myself but to let out an evil laugh. 

What do you have to say for yourself now Mr. Lee? I have something against you that will surely burn you to ashes. 

But one question still remains... Does Faith know about this yet?

-------------------------

Faith's POV

I've been frantically looking at my watch every five seconds. Jayce is now 30 minutes late and it's making me go crazy. I already managed to finish 3 cups of Americano and he's still not here yet. Just where the hell is this guy?! 

What if he's with another girl.... no , no! He can't be ! 

Ever since that incident in the theatres a while back I couldn't help but to have doubts on him. I know he's faithful and loyal but a part of me still wonders why he just couldn't admit that I was his girlfriend to those girls. It's not like it was such a hard thing to say. These doubts have been eating me whole for a few days now. It's like everytime he texts or talks on the phone I want to ask him who it is, but I know better than that. I didn't want to be clingy and suffocate him. 

My thoughts were interrupted when a hand waved in front of my face. "Hello? Indulged in your own thoughts again?" He asked while taking a seat in front of me. 

Tch, he didn't even bother saying sorry for being late? "Why are you late?" I asked as calm as I possibly could. 

"Oh uhm... I was just at a business meeting. It took longer than usual since they had a lot of questions about my presentation." He nervously took a sip of his coffee and rubbed his free hands on his pants. 

I knew him well enough to know that he's lying. His hands gets sweaty everytime he lies. I decided to just let it slide and for a while we sat in pure silence. The tension was so thick it could cut you. "So... How's work? Have you solved your issues with Krystal?" 

"Yes, I decided to just let her off with a warning." I paused to take a sip of my 4th cup of coffee.

"But I told her that if she ever does it again, I will have no second thoughts on dismissing her." I said every single word with bitterness in my voice.

He took notice of my bad mood and decided to try and lift up the atmosphere by inviting me to go to Han river. We usually went here for strolls in the night and it would always cause the butterflies in my stomach to go crazy. But tonight... Tonight was different. He was keeping secrets from me and I knew it. It made my stomach churn and my head think of crazy ideas as to what those secrets are. Yes, I was holding his hand but he was miles away. 

My heart felt heavy all of a sudden, as if it just sank to the bottom of my stomach. I felt like I'd cry any time and I just couldn't handle it anymore. "Jay, can you drive me home please? I don't feel very good." 

He just stared at me for a while; concern plastered on his face. But in the end decided to just let me be.

The car ride was tedious, five minutes felt like five years. Just like at the coffee shop, the tension was so thick and the atmosphere was killing me. I thanked the heavens when we finally reached my condo. "Goodnight Chae." Chae... He hasn't called me that in ages. 

"Goodnight Jay." I went out of his car before he could lean in for a kiss. I just didn't feel any intimacy tonight. Not with my thoughts jumbled up. 

As soon as I closed the door to my condo, I felt the room spinning. My knees suddenly became weak causing me to fall to the ground and thoughts of him keeping secrets from me swirled in my head like a spiral staircase. I hate this feeling, this feeling of doubting him. Tears started to roll off my cheeks before I even realized I was crying.

I was crying. 

I am strong, fierce and independent, but when it came to love I became weak and vulnerable and that is something I have always hated the most. 

I was laying on my cold hard floor crying; crying over the same damn thing.
