Chapter 164 Just so you know, I donst hate you. (2/2)

”Lexi...?” After quite some time, Mia Chen decided to break the silence as she opened a conversation with her.

As expected, Mia Chen didn't receive a response from her, as if Lexi heard no one. Regardless, Mia Chen meekly smiled and resumed.

”I heard what happened and I— I am sorry.” In the midst of her sentence, Mia Chen's voice cracked as if she was utterly guilty about Lexi's suicide.

”Apology accepted.” Without turning her gaze to her, Lexi responded without batting an eye which surprised Mia Chen inwardly.

Mia Chen wanted to question her if she meant what she said since Lexi's unchangeable expression was hard to read. However, she was rendered speechless realizing that she would sound stupid if she continued her act.

Soon, the 'ding' sound indicating that they had arrived on the top floor before it opened. Lexi unhurriedly started to exit the elevator as she said;

”Ask your manager to enroll you in a better workshop—your acting sucks.” With that said note, Lexi walked straight ahead to Morris Liu's office leaving Mia Chen with a clenched fist.

The moment Lexi entered Morris Liu's office, he was already sitting on the head seat at the set of sofas in the middle of his office. Morris Liu slightly tilted his head gesturing her to take a seat which Lexi did without any formalities or whatsoever.

Taking out a folded note from her handbag, Lexi slid it on the table towards him. ”This is the time and place where you can meet Mr. Tanaka.” She flatly informed before straightening her posture and she looked straight to his chilling eyes.

Without a word, Morris Liu picked up the folded note and skimmed the precise information of the said meeting. After that, his gaze then shifted to her before he nodded without a change in his front.

”Alright,”

For some time, Lexi and Morris Liu looked at each other without uttering a single word. None knew what they had in mind but surely, it was the words they wanted but chose not to say.

”CEO Liu, I trust that you will keep your words.” Meekly smiling, Lexi broke their silence as she slowly stood from her seat. She then offered her hand to him for a done deal for the last time. She wanted to end this in a professional and peaceful way for their mutual closure.

Morris Liu looked down on her hand that was waiting for a handshake. He knew that if he did, she has no way to stall around. He knew that after this, he would be completely gone from her life. With just those thoughts, he felt his heart clenched.

It pained him to see the woman whom he kept pushing away had now decided to walk away in her own volition. Regardless, Morris Liu also understood that the pain he was experiencing right now could never compare to the heartaches she had gone through because of him. Therefore, no matter how much he hated it, his hand reached for hers for a brief, numb handshake.

”You have my word, Miss Yang.”

”Well, then, I will have to excuse myself, Mr. Liu.” After their short handshake, Lexi courtly bowed before she grabbed her handbag and prepared to leave his office.

Just as she was at the door, she stopped in her tracks, her hand on the door handle, and spoke without turning to see the man behind her.

”Just so you know, I don't hate you.” With that said remarks, Lexi exited his office with a second hesitation.

Upon hearing her last statements, Morris Liu stared at her retreating back until the door was shut again. He stayed there for a while before he slowly sat on the seat with a bitter smile, ”What a cruel woman,”
