Chapter 48 - All Ears (1/2)

[RayKon53: I 'do' feel powerless and that is a strange mood to be in. For a better perspective, my career depends on who I am as a person and what people think of me.]

'How much should I tell her. Exactly how much can I trust anyone with my secret. I have known her for too little to tell her who I really am. But why do I feel the urge to regurgitate all my knowledge about myself when it comes to this fascinating woman?'

[Rinten: You have a role of influence, then. And this rumor defames you and makes it harder for you?]

'I love how she didn't dig for more and just settled for the information she was given. It really makes me want to open up to her. Finally, someone who doesn't want to control me.'

[RayKon53: Not exactly. I think you need to know the situation for you to understand. You are being too clinical about this.]

'She was. It almost felt like she was holding back and he didn't like that one bit. They were meant to have a chemistry, and all these issues were just hindering the sizzling conversation they had so far.'

[Rinten: Tell me, then. I'm all ears.]

'Thank you, hon.'

[RayKon53: She is my ex-almost girlfriend who is going around telling others that we are dating again, even though she cheated on me.]

He couldn't very well tell her that they fake dated for however long. This was all he could manage without revealing his identity.

[Rinten: We share similar unpleasant pasts, then. I strictly stand against cheating.]

'Similar pasts? What does she mean by that?'

[RayKon53: It's not considered cheating if you weren't in a relationship. More like I was publicly humiliated even though I had no feelings for her.]

And then he suddenly realized. Someone had cheated on her. That was why she was not okay with illicit affairs. Who would dump such a wonderful woman? Did they sell their brains off?

[Rinten: I would cut the bitch for looking at another person while someone like you was near her.]

His heart thudded and he pressed his against his chest.

[RayKon53: Thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm more concerned about the bastard who let a fantastic girl like you go.]

'Tell me. I will break his skull for you.'

[Rinten: If only you knew…]

'Oh, but I want to know.'

[RayKon53: While we are sulking, why don't we share our woes?]

'Say yes,' he prayed.

[Rinten: You tell me first.] She commanded. He smiled and started typing out.

[RayKon53: Everyone thinks I am heartbroken because she cheated with an older man.]

'I felt humiliated. That is true. I don't like everyone's pity, either.'
