Chapter 49：Because of Her (2/2)
”Yeah? But you are waiting for her call, is it?”
”Are you checking on me? For once, can you stop it, Eva?”
”Why would I? Because it's true, right? Just one call away, you are like a slave running toward her!”
”You know what, Eva? I have no time for this now. If you have nothing to do, but I have tons of...”
”Stop treating me coldly! I'm not someone stranger to you!” Eva didn't wait for Bryan to finish his sentence. Bryan is just making excuses to her.
On the other line, Bryan heaves a furious sighed. He could feel his head throbbing hearing Eva's shrieking voice.
”Look, Eva. I have important things to do. But since you only called me for a fight. I'll better hang up now.”
”Don't dare to hang up on me, Bryan!” Eva demanded.
Bryan massages the back of his head down to his neck to stay calm. Honestly, he is tired of this crap which has nowhere to go in the end after they talked.
”Speak. What do you want?”
Eva frowned when Bryan talk to her like she was his employee. ”Why can't you resign your job and join me? I can introduce you to big companies in the US and let's live together! Why is it hard for you to leave Australia?”
”How many times should I explain it to you, Eva? This is my life project! I would never abandon the team! We started this, and we will finish this!”
”No! You don't want to leave Australia because she was there!” And you never propose to me to live with you in Australia, Bryan! And because of her! Eva wanted to add this, but she only keeps it to herself.
She wins Bryan back. However, Bryan never discusses settling down with her in Australia or anywhere! That is why she always finds a way for Bryan to give time to her.
Meanwhile, listening to Eva's childish rants, Bryan was annoyed. Eva will always include Hailey in their fights. It was the reason he could not tell Eva that Hailey is his boss.
He is certain that once Eva learns the truth. She would throw not only a tantrum, but she won't stop nagging him.
”Eva, you already knew why I have to come back very soon. Several people almost died because I neglect my work! Do you understand what that means, Eva? It will be my conscience!”
”But I am your girlfriend!”
Bryan cursed inwardly listening to Eva's selfish behavior. Before he replied, Bryan hurls a long breath then releases them. He uttered, ”I think we better take it easy from here, Eva.”
”Are you breaking up with me, Bryan?” Eva clenches her fists, tightens her hold on her phone.
”You need to cool off, and I need a break, yes! I have a lot of things to fix out here, Eva. If you could not understand my job. Then yes, maybe we should break up,” said Bryan.
”Like I agree! Don't give me those crap reasons! Fix things? Like I didn't know that it includes her you wanted to fix things!”
Bryan knows one thing. He is already fed up with Eva's jealousy. And he is getting tired of their fights.
”Why do you hate Hailey so much?” he asked Eva.
