My Sweet Revenge, Love

"Surprise, baby!"

As soon as Yueyue heard the voice, she felt all the effort she gathered to prevent herself from crying began to dissolve. One. Two. Three. Her tears dropped without her permission, as she stood where she was while looking at that person.

The smile on that person's face started to disappear when he noticed her tears. He slowly opened his arms as if telling her that 'It's okay. He's here.'

At that moment, Yueyue immediately ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. That person hugged her back and patted her head to comfort her. She started to hiccup as she broke down in his arms.

"I'm here, baby. I'm here," he shushed while patting her head.

Yueyue cried harder in his embrace. The pain and the exhaustion hit her all at once. She knew she looked like a mess, but she did not care. At least in his arms, she knew she was safe. She knew it was okay to be vulnerable.

After a while, Yueyue began to calm down. She finally looked up to make eye contact with the person.

"Please take me away," Yueyue begged. That person's eyes went wide before he frowned as if questioning her statement.

Yueyue slowly nodded and repeated again but this time she said with conviction, "Please take me away, Ge." (Ge/哥= older brother)

"Eh, Dylan is back!" the people in the workplace gasped and whispered among themselves when they saw Dylan confidently walked in.

"He came with someone! Who's that?"

As soon as he came in, Dylan noticed something strange. His eyes fell on an office desk, and his brows soon furrowed. The moment the realization dawned on him, his grips slowly tightened. The flame of anger could be seen in his eyes when he furiously headed toward one particular direction.

The Director was startled when his office door suddenly flew open. When he looked at that opened door, his blood began to drain from his face. All he noticed was a pair of deadly furious eyes staring back at him. The next thing he knew, he was yanked out of his chair by his collar.

"Where is Yueyue? What have you done to her?" Dylan asked with a venomous voice.

"S-she re-resigned-" the Director stuttered.

Dylan immediately slammed him on the wall. Dylan could hear the gasps from the employees who were watching everything from the window and the opened door, but he didn't care.

"What did you say?" Dylan shouted.

"Yueyue resigned. She realized she's guilty and decided to resign," the Director shakily answered while looking down to avoid Dylan's eyes.

Dylan scoffed at the Director's answer before he violently grabbed the Director's jaw, making him look at him.

"What do you take me for? A kindergarten kid?" Dylan coldly asked as he watched the Director trembled in fear.

"Hey, Dylan! You're too much!"

"He's still our Director! Have some respect-"

The employees went silent when Dylan gave them a death glare.

"How noble of you," Dylan coldly said, "Have you people ever spoken up for Yue when she was being bullied?" His question was enough for some of them to look down out of guilt.

"Did I just hit the bullseye?" Dylan then sarcastically laughed before he coldly looked at them again, "Stay out of this. I will deal with all of you later." Hearing that, those people could only gulf silently.
