The Red String Thread (Catch Me Rewritten)

CHAPTER FIVE

EDISON POV

        I went back to my hotel after a frustrating talk with my brother but not immediately. I stayed somewhere to got off some steam and when I arrived it was already 5 pm and there I saw Isabelle who was squatting outside my suite. I wondered at first the reason she was there but later on I remembered we're supposed to had a meeting this morning plus I even told her to met me at the Manila Hotel.

        Shit! I cursed in my mind and even though I had a stone cold heart but sometimes I could feel guilty especially I knew I had made a mistake.  I slowly walked towards her and quitely called her name when I was already in front of her "Ms. Reyes". 

       Isabelle looked up when she heard me and I was little taken aback when I saw her angry eyes that could kill anyone. She then hastily stood up from the ground and ragingly yelled "YOU!.."

        "We can talk inside my room"  I cut her off instantly since I didn't want anybody to listen to our arugment. I opened the door and  was about to went inside but she didn't budge from her place. "Get in" I calmy offered. However, she didn't move so I grabbed her by the elbow, which she was astonished when I did that, and pulled her inside the room.  Once we're inside she swiftly released herself from my grip and faced me with rage. 

        "YOU ARE SUCH A JERK!" She started with such aggrivation that she forgot who I was but I didn't blame her for that since I was at fault. 

        "You don't need to shout Ms. Reyes since we're only the two people in this room" I said, unflustered with her anger. "And you have forgotten who you're talking to" I reminded her which made her silence for a moment. She took a deep breathe, I guessed she tried to calm herself down before she spoke.

        "I apologize that I shouted at you, Your Grace" She mocked - hinting a sarcasm in her tone and she even bow in order to ridiculed me. Instead of feeling resentment towards her, I started to admired for her guts and courage that she showed to me. However, if she done it in other time, I would do that but the state of my emotion had clouded my mind in thinking logically. So I tried to swayed my anger as best as I could and calmy spoke. 

         

        "I'm warning you Ms. Reyes don't push me right now" I scowled at her "I have a rough day" I added, forcing myself to calm down so that I wouldn't say something to her that I would regret later. Plus, I was hoping that she would understand but words that I just spoke made her even more agitated. 

        "YOU HAVE A ROUGH DAY? HOW ABOUT ME!" She madly screamed and was about to said something more but she stopped for a while and raked her already disheveled hair. "Did you do this in order to get revenge?" She asked and I got a little confused for a moment. 

ISABELLE POV

      Since this morning, I wondered whether he was playing at me or he took my ideas seriously so I couldn't help but to asked him that question.  At first he looked confused when I questioned him but at least he managed to indirectly gave me an unsatisfactory reply.
