"You haven't gone to Aion recently"
My grandfather and I was playing chess in his office when he suddenly brought up the one topic I did not want to talk about.
"I've been busy with school"
"You're only at the university 2 days a week"
"Allac is talking all of my time"
"That CEO is doing all the work"
"I'm taking a sick leave"
"I didn't think you were capable of making these type of excuses"
"You're going to lose if you don't focus on the game, grandpa"
I ended the chess game - trapping his King with my Bishops.
"Does this have to do with your sister's broken engagement?"
"I didn't think you were capable of gossiping, grandpa"
James Lind look at me with a slight lift of his brow. Ignoring the amused look in his eyes, I maintained my cool composure.
"You shouldn't mix personal emotions with business"
I didn't need my grandfather to point out that fact.
"Whose personal emotions? Whose business? What does it have to do with me?"
Again, James Lind's eyebrow rose. I refused to give into the taunting, all-knowing expression of his. No longer interested in the game I've already won, I reached for my Hermes bag.
"Calla"
I paused at the doorway.
"The contract you have with Lind Corp. I will enforce it if you continue to be stubborn"
Turning to face my grandfather, I remained indifferent.
"I know my rights. I'm taking a sick leave"
"For how long"
"Until I get better"
I left before the old man could get another word out.
