CEO or MAFIA ?

CHAPTER 36

Well, today was indeed a memorable heart broken day which I will never forget in my lifetime.

..............

It was evening and I had caged myself inside my room, licking my own wounds all alone.

I don't know, how many days or weeks I'll take to overcome this heartbreak. This just hurts so bad.

I sniffled.

But now, I just can't stay inside my room forever. I have to get out and eat something. I need to take care of myself. I just can't sit here and bawl my eyes out.

I stood up and exited my room before descending downstairs. While I was in mid stairs, I saw a tall figure walking out of the lounge. My eyes widened on seeing the person as I instantly spun around and was about to climb up the stairs when suddenly he called.

"Naomi!!" I clenched my eyes shut in frustration.

No!! Please don't call me, just let me go..

Just play it cool, you're not gonna cry infront of him. You've faced Heartbreaks before, it's nothing.

I exhaled and opened my eyes before turning around. I forced a smile and climbed down the remaining stairs.

"Dylan, you're here!!" I forced a big smile, swallowing the pain inside.

"Yeah." He flashed his beautiful swooning smile which still melted my heart.
"I was just here to collect some documents."

"Okayyyy...." I faltered.

So now you can LEAVE.

"but I got some time. Wanna have a cup of coffee with me? I'm a great coffee maker."

No....a big NO.

"Um... yeah, sure." I smiled.

I can't be rude to him, we're still friends and I respect the friendship between us.

He walked towards the kitchen and here, tears pricked the back of my eyes but as usually I blinked them away before taking a deep breath. I smiled and followed him towards the kitchen.

He prepared the coffee for both of us but I was in no mood for a coffee. My fingers were fiddling with the cup handle as he sipped his coffee.

There was a silence and being the stupid girl that I am, I broke the silence.
"Congratulations...um as you're engaged now."

"Thank you."

"Where is Gwen?" My tone wasn't cheeky,  it was polite.

"She left for San Francisco this morning as she has pending filed case to solve." He smiled.

"Case? Is she a detective?" I asked.

"Um..she's a lawyer." He had a shy smile on his face.

Now I'm gonna file a case against Harold and Dylan for their constant crimes.

Yes, even Dylan.

"You know, Gwen and I are together since high school, it was so hard to win her heart." He chuckled.

I'm least interested in their love story because it just breaks my heart all over again into tiny pieces.

"I just.... love her so much, she's everything to me."

Just stop it Dylan, I'm gonna throw you out of this house if you don't stop.

All these words were at the tip of Mt tongue but I couldn't say anything as I had a permanent smile plastered on my face.

"It's just.." I cut him off.

"Aren't you getting late? I think you should go or else king would be in fits of rage if you don't appear there within the given time."

"No he--" again interrupted by me.

"I think you should surely go, you know he likes punctual people. So you shouldn't get late." I insisted him to leave.

"But--"

"You should go...I don't want him to yell at you." I was just acting like a fool.

But listening to his love story will only create a tight painful knot in my chest.

"He won't--".

"Just go Dylan!! I really don't want him to yell at you because of me."

"Okay." He stood up with confusion skated expression and waved his hand as a bye.

I smiled and waved my hand back at him.

He left and I quickly ascended upstairs before landing flat on my bed and wrapping a blanket over me. I cried hard as I remembered his words.

'I just...love her so much.'
