The Woman From Hell

"What answer?" I asked.

Marius faced me, his expression extremely somber. "You keep apologizing for not telling me about the blind date in advance, but that's not what I'm really angry about. I didn't expect you to still not understand my heart after so long."

His words were heavy like lead, and they left me a little breathless. My face twisted into a frown as an indescribable emotion rushed to my heart. "I..." I was at a loss for how to respond to him.

His smile was like the spring breeze, and it gradually soothed my heartbeat. "I've expressed my liking for you. You rejected me, but I'm very happy that you're able to accept me as a friend. I feel the happiest when I get to accompany you as your friend. I thought you'd be able to understand this after what happened last time. I didn't expect you to still be unaware."

Marius was referring to when I had distanced myself from him the last time.

My throat bobbed. All I could say now was that I was sorry.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it through."RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Enough of your apologies." Marius shook his head and sat down on the grass. "I know very well that you and Theo are inseparable. I don't need you to give me an answer. Just take me as your friend and we'll leave the rest to fate. What do you think?"

I nodded, agreeing. "I just felt guilty since you always treat me so well yet I had no way of repaying you. That's why I did that laughable thing."

"I understand. I'll forgive you this time, but three strikes and you're out. This is the second time you've hurt me. If you do it again, I'll definitely not forgive you anymore." Marius looked at me, his smile bright.

Seeing his smile, I returned with my own. "Of course."

Marius breathed a sigh of relief. "It feels good to say everything I wanted to say."

"Shannon also did it for you. Forgive her too?"

"Love the house and its crows. I will." Marius winked at me.

My mood abruptly improving, I replied, "I was supposed to bring her here today, but she got mad when you blocked her out and threw her a bunch of documents to deal with."

"And who was the one who did things on her own, even dragging you into it? Of course, I've to teach her a lesson," Marius reasoned, his tone containing his fun-lovingness once again.

I unconsciously smiled at his voice. "Then, you'll come to green Orange tomorrow, right?"

"Of course, but I heard that you've gone back. Do you still need me to go over?"

"Yes. You pulled so many projects for Green Orange during the time I was away. You have to follow up with them and implement them."

Marius heard this and laid back

down. "I only own a small part of the

company's shares, yet you're

heaping so much work on me. You

should give me more of them, then."

"You have a lot of money, President Klein. How could you throw a fuss about this with me?" I lay down with him.

There were rarely stars in Whaldorf City's sky nowadays, but there were two or three of them tonight.

"Hey, Marius. Since you said you like me so much, will you end up alone in the future?"

"I won't die alone. I'm a heartthrob.

Worse comes to worst, I'll pick some average girl and we'll spend our lives together. I can still develop feelings for her in the long run."

"Won't you be cheating her feelings?"

"Of course not. I'm just kidding. I'll only marry someone who I have feelings for."

I ended up talking a lot with Marius this day and could understand him better.

It was my honor to be liked by such a nice person.
