Bab 35: Chapter 35
"I guess, I'll go now." Camilla said as she quickly excused herself. "I'll see you in the office tomorrow Ian. The help will see to this. Good night. Nice meeting you Jas."
"Camilla, wait!" Ian called after her as he moved to stand up.
Noticing his attempt to follow, Camilla quickly walked out of the apartment before Ian could catch up or Jas could say anything. Ian was shocked at her ability to get out of a sticky situation so quickly.
"So your real boss is who?" Jas asked as she looked at her boyfriend.
"I was going to tell you the details of my work today." Ian said as he scratched his head. "So, the real work doesn't start till the Reyes Heir comes back from some sort of training."
"So this is like a trial period? This isn't like a stable job for you?" Jas asked as she raised an eyebrow and tried to figure out more regarding Ian's work situation.
"No, no, it's nothing like that." Ian said, shaking his head with a smile. "Camilla and I are in training too. We are learning from Marco So, the CEO's assistant."
"And so what exactly will you be doing there at the Reyes Group?" Jas asked, she didn't seem mad to Ian. She sounded more curious than mad which surprised Ian, he had expected her to be furious about not knowing the details.
"You aren't mad that I didn't tell you about my job from the start?" Ian asked as he cocked his head to the side. After everything that had happened with her that day he expected Jas to be mad at him.
"Why would I be mad?" Jas asked Ian. "It's no big deal. Why would you even think I would be mad? Do you think so lowly of me Ian Lim?" She questioned as the tears began rolling down from her eyes. "I was just concerned, I didn't want you ending up in a job with no stability, no future. Is it wrong for me to try to help you get the best opportunities?"
"Jas, I'm sorry." Ian said as he reached out and held her hand.
"Why do you think so little of me? Why, Ian?" Jas shouted as she continued to cry. "When everyone abandoned you, I stayed. When your family lost everything, I never once thought of you as a lesser man. Why do you keep looking at me as if I'm some spoiled brat?"
"Jas, I'm sorry if that's how it came off -" Ian said as he attempted to apologize.
"No!" Jas shouted as she stood up. "Just because you are the one that lost everything financially doesn't mean that you are the only one that has suffered in this relationship."
"What do you mean, Jas?" Ian asked. "I was always the one that people looked down at, I was the one that everyone saw as undeserving of you!"
"Did you really only see it that way?" Jas questioned him in an angry tone. "People also said things about me, hurtful things. And despite all that I chose you, I chose to stay with you because I love you. I'm guessing that's not enough for you!"
At that Jas turned around and marched towards the door, picker her bag up as she passed through the living room.
"Jas, please, let's talk about this." Ian called out as he chased after her.
"Don't just don't!" Jas said as she opened the door and stepped out.
"Jas let me drive you home, it's dark and unsafe." Ian said as he joined her in the hallway.
Jas ignored him as she vigorously pressed the down button on the elevator pad.
"Jas, your father will be furious if I let you go home on your own. Please let me do this. Let's talk about this." Ian begged.
"No, Ian." Jas said in a stern tone as her voice echoed down the empty hall. "I brought the driver with me when I came over, I never planned on staying the night. I just wanted to check up on you and wish you a happy first day at work."
"Jas, please I spoke without thinking." Ian begged.
"No, not this time." Jas told Ian as the elevator doors opened and she stepped in.
Ian tried to follow after her, but she held her hand out against his chest, stopping him. Ian looked her in the eyes, but there was no sign that she would give in to him. Clearly she had made up her mind.
"Ian Lim, if you get in this elevator we are through." She threatened. "Think about what you said and call me when you're ready. I don't want you just apologizing to me for the sake of peace. Good night."
With that Jas pressed the ground floor button and the elevator doors slowly closed, leaving Ian standing in the hallway all alone, wondering what he had done wrong and how he could make it right.
