          He even have this feeling that something was holding her from leaving. Something was keeping her and hadn't made her leave. He knew the money is not really what is keeping her. He can tell that. If she was really after his money, the money in the account of the ATM he gave to her would have almost finished by now. But not a single cent had been touched from that account. But he didn't ask her about it. So he knew she was not really after his money. There was something else that he have not figured out that makes Lola patient with him, enduring his insults and even wanting to stay with him one more minute despite everything.

            Although his grandmother was coming and she wants to come to stay with him for a while since she keeps telling him that she missed him. And it wasn't so compulsory Lola stayed in the house for the two weeks she want to come and spend with him but he wants to use that chance to keep her until he decides on what to do.

         

             Lola seems dumbfounded at his outburst. It wasn't what she was expecting. She had expected him to come and use the same threatening business-like tone he used on her the day he was travelling with her. But it was not what she was expecting. It was different.

         And he was sincere in his apology. He was right about controlling people. He can be very demanding and bossy. He loves to control. But she understands that that is who he had become from controlling multiple companies, from having different people working under him and from being a wealthy man whom almost everyone wants to please just to be on his good side. So that side of him was becoming dominant. And he was using it on her. So she understands his actions even if it is annoying. And that is why she doesn't fail to tell him to his face that she hates it.

        And she won't deny the fact that what he said that day at his office hurt. Yeah, it really hurt because that had been the least of the expression she expected from him that day. But what can she do? She can't just walk up to him and tell him that what he said breaks her heart because she likes him very much.

          But at least what matters was, he was sincerely apologizing for what he said. And since she had decided to forget about it - despite whenever she thinks about it or closes her eyes those words he said still ring in her head - she decides to let it go finally.

         She just wished she could tell him that as much as he annoys her, she can't keep the feelings she is having for him. And that is why it hurt more than normal whenever he does something to her. It always breaks her heart. And he wasn't the least person she wants to see. She wished she could tell him how much she miss his face, his bored expression, the small smile on his face, that expression on him when he was trying to play normal and he doesn't care and even the smirk she hates the most. She misses all of it while he was gone.

         Many times she cursed herself for being so smitten by a guy that barely knows her. A guy she is far inferior to. Someone not from her class, to whom she means nothing. Many times she wondered what he thought about her.

"Yeah, you can be quite bossy." She said with a small smile on her face and she fold her hands on her chest. "And I won't lie to you, I don't like it a bit." she looked at him.

         He was staring at her and he have this apologetic look on him.

"I'm sorry." He apologized again and he looked away. He was quite embarrassed. And he bit his lower lips.

"Since you've apologized, it is fine. I don't expect you to change immediately. It's kind of a part of you." She stated.

          He looked up at her. He knew she was right. Being bossy and demanding had become a part of him. The only person he can't use that side on was his grandmother. She always tells him to his face not to do that. Now Lola was giving her boundaries too. It still amazes him due to their age difference but he guesses when someone is in love you will do whatsoever to please the other person.
