Runaway Groom (Groom Series Book 1) (English Translation)

Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Frustrated

I don't want Trevor to expect something from me, expect that I like him too. Even if he hasn't told me directly yet, I can feel that he likes me.

But I also don't want Mew to think that I'm protecting his feelings. So I let Trevor himself cut the kiss.

I shouldn't worry about Mew's feelings. He did not even think about how I would feel when he broke up with me. So why bother?

There was a trace of anger on Mew's face because of its redness. You can clearly see that he is trying to get his shit together.

He boarded the elevator. Trevor, on the other hand, straightened up. The elevator closed and only the three of us was inside as it descended to the right floor.

I am a little bit surprised. I was thinking that Mew would suddenly punch Trevor out of anger. But maybe he didn't feel jealous? Maybe it was just his ego explaining why he looked pissed?

But why are his fists clenched? I hugged the laptop bag I was carrying.

I felt the tension so I mediated between the two of them. My peripheral vision clearly told me that Mew clenched his jaw thrice.

I looked at our reflections at the stainless steel door. Trevor slid his hands inside his pocket. Mew moved to the side and leaned against the elevator wall. He faced us before beginning to speak.

"How about we have a fistfight, Trevor?" Mew spoke out of the blue. His voice was serious and obviously angry.

I turned to him and gave him a bored look.

What is he talking about?

Trevor faced him and was about to speak but I lifted my hand, signaling him to stop.

"Don't mind him, Trevor," I spoke without removing my eyes from Mew.

"Let him speak for himself. What are you? His spokesperson?" Mew hissed.

I was annoyed with what he said so I raised an eyebrow at him.

"May I know the reason why you're challenging me for a fistfight, Mr. Fletcher?" Trevor smiled at Mew. "Are you angry because Gulf and I kissed? Are you jealous?" he asked, one after another.

Gosh Trevor. I told him to just keep quiet.

How long will it take us to reach the 30th floor?

"Yes. I feel like I want to break your jaw," Mew answered, clenching his jaw.

I do not want to waste my energy trying to stop them from what they want to do. They're both grown ups so I'll let them do whatever they want. I'm not their baby sitter.

"I accept your challenge. Just tell me when and where. I'm just curious. Why are you jealous? I thought you and Tommy were a thing?" Trevor smirked.

I got more irritated by their conversation. Especially that I am involved. But I decided to keep quiet. Tsk. Boys and their egos.

Right now, I have to think about my first presentation in front of the board members.

Christmas is a few months away so the board asked me to prepare a presentation about my promo suggestions for the upcoming holidays.

Trevor and Mew's eyes were locked on each other, as if they were having a telepathic fight. Mew's stares were blazing with anger, triggered by Trevors words. Meanwhile, Trevor's lips curved, enjoying Mew's reaction.

I am surprised with Trevor's bravery and attitude. Has he forgotten that Mew is his boss? He can fire him any second and he will lose his job!

"Shut your mouth if you know nothing," Mew replied firmly, gritting his teeth.
