Stunning Nightfall

Chapter 18

*Abelia's POV*

"Good morning, Miss.."

some of the staffs greeted me.

I just came to visit my grandpa's company which he let me inherit after my Dad left us.

When I got out of the elevator, my assistant approaches me.

"Miss, there's a man from our company's competitor came and wanted talk to you" she said.

"Here?"

"Yes" she replied.

I look at my wrist watch.

"Show him to me" I said.

"This way, please"

she said as we walk going to the waiting area.

I got surprised, same as the guy to me. Then, he stood up and walk towards me.

"You?" I asked.

"Uh.." his face is unsure of what to say.

"It's me, we met before at the club"

I added.

"Oh.. yeah, so you're the owner of this corporation?" he asked.

"Yes, well I inherit it from my grandpa" I said.

We took this conversation back at my office. My assistant brought in some coffee and we started to have a talk.

"What is it you came here for?"

I asked as I sip my coffee.

"I had a meeting earlier with some of the shareholders, I thought they'll approve my suggestions but it turns out that you took them from me" he explained.

"Really? Sorry to say, but I'm not the one who's responsible for this madness" I replied.

He chuckled..

"Then, who?"

"One of my employees here, and I'm sorry that your company lost it"

I said.

"You have to give me back this opportunity" he said seriously.

"I can't..." I replied.

He just stare at me and we both became silent.

He's challenged, and I think he won't give up that yet. I'll see if he'll get used to it.

"Tell me the reason why you want me to give it back to you" I added.

He sighed.

"I'll grant anything you wish if you give me back this kind of thing"

he said.

I smirked, then I nods.

"Okay, I'll do it right now..." I said.

He's strong, and I admire his strength to get back the things he wanted for so long.

After that day, I went to a restaurant and had my solo dinner. Then, I finished my dinner and went to the washroom.

Guess who I just saw?

"Why are you here?" I asked Syrene.

"Is it wrong for me to be here? I just came here to have my dinner" she said.

I just force myself to say nothing because I don't want fight anymore.

"How are things between you and Hyson?" she asked.

"I broke up with him"

"Why? I thought you're so obsessed with him.." she said.

"He did the same to me, I mean the things he did to you before"

I replied.

She smirk and said..

"I told you, if you didn't get him from me on the first place then you won't be hurt like the way he hurted me"

she insulted me.

"I'm sorry.."

"No need, we're both the victims here.. but to tell you.." she said.

I look at her.

"..You should accept that as your karma, but remember it as a lesson" she added.

I turn my head down and cried silently, I felt Syrene holding my shoulders.

"Abelia, don't give up.. fight this like the way I fight it" she said.

"Okay.." I replied sobbingly.

"Hang in there, okay?"

she said as she left me.

I slowly went to the sink and wash my face, then I realize the kindness that remains onto Syrene's heart even though we treat each other as mortal enemies.

As I got out of the washroom, I saw Syrene and Kenneth together.
