章 18: TRYING TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND

Mo Shira pleaded with Clinton to explain what was happening to him. "Stop laughing and tell me already! What's going on with me? Why do I feel like I'm hurting myself when I hurt her? Why do I get angry when I see her with other men? I know it sounds foolish, but I want her to quit my company, yet I also want her around. What's wrong with me?"

Clinton chuckled, "Mo Shira, you've lost!"

Mo Shira's confusion deepened. "What do you mean I've lost? What bet are you talking about? I don't remember betting anything with you."

Clinton's grin widened. "Ah, you've forgotten! Remember when Sony and Mengqi were fighting over you? You'd walk past them like they didn't exist, but you'd sleep with them when they came to your house. I told you then that a day would come when you'd want to do everything for a particular girl, when you'd want to fight for her. But you dismissed it, saying girls were just items for relaxation, and you only wanted them for sex. I made a bet with you then - if you lost, you'd buy me anything I asked for, and if I lost, I wasn't a good psychologist."

Mo Shira's eyes widened as memories flooded back. "Oh, that bet... I had forgotten."

Mo Shira's eyes widened in disbelief. "What are you saying, Clinton? Am I in love with Yue Ling? You can't be serious!"

Clinton nodded confidently. "I'm 100% sure you are in love, Mo Shira. Think back to the airport incident. The old you would have laughed it off and forgotten, but you took it as a personal embarrassment and wanted to punish her. You wanted to see her again, even going so far as to move to Mountain Lake to be near her. Your actions at the office weren't about punishing her, but about keeping her close. You couldn't even bear to stay away from her when she didn't come to work, and you personally went to her place instead of sending someone else."

Mo Shira's face reddened as he admitted, "Okay, fine. Everything you're saying is true, but it can't be love. I don't think I'm capable of falling in love."

Clinton's expression turned serious. "Mo Shira, as your friend, I can't sugarcoat the truth. You're in love with Yue Ling. You, who never took anyone's words seriously, felt a sting from her harsh words. You become jealous and angry when you see her with other men. You want her attention and notice. You were angry when you saw her with your brother in your office, and you don't want him to marry her because you want her for yourself."

Clinton tried very hard to make him understand, maybe it is because this is his first time of fallen in love, that's why it was so difficult for him to understand.

but after sometime, he became satisfied with all of the explanation.

Mo Shira: so I'm in love, good, I thought I didn't have a heart, but it turn out that I'm like other humans.

but tell me Clinton does it have to be Yue Ling? I mean it is not like we are even close, what about ye lyra?

Clinton: stop asking me all these questions, I will live the rest for you to handle on your own, I will text you what I want from you later, at least I won the bet, good bye.

he then stood up and left.

Mo Shira, didn't know how to react now that he has fallen in love, he just sat there, thinking of what to do.

Mo Shira: I don't know what to do right now, but I know one thing for sure, I won't let my first love leave me.

Yue Lings apartment

once Yue Ling was inside her house, she went straight to her room, took out the letter her father gave her, and started rereading it, she couldn't help but cry more, she really does missed them a lot now, after what happened today,

she couldn't help but imagine what would have happened to her, if that stupid Mo Shira didn't show up,

she then went to her luggage, took an A4 plain sheet, wrote her resignation letter, and put it in a white envelope.

she then took off her torn clothes, and threw them into the waste bin basket before, going to her bathroom to bath,

while she was bathing, she could still remember Mr huos hands touching her, she then started washing her body thoroughly as if she wants to remove her skin.

when she was done, she didn't eat, as she was feeling disgusted by everything she lays her hands on before fallen asleep.
