36 Excuse (1/2)
I stood there dumbfounded. There are what? And they what?
I suddenly blurted aloud ”Ah what?”
The two males in the room turned their heads to look at me. I only creased my brows and stared at the floor beneath me, deep in thought.
I knew it! Meeting up with the devil in a crowded place is suicide! Unfortunately, I don't have any other choice. After all the devil have a pretty good hostage, which is my dignity.
I rather face the angry mass of immature bees than have them trample me with their victorious laughter. Neo still has a picture of me in my wet pants and that is his trump card.
I still can make an excuse and make everyone believe that me being here is only a one time big time kind of thing. That is the main reason why I don't want Neo to publicize us being a couple (fake couple). Rumors will die naturally as long as we don't meet like this next time. Thinking of a possible next time is already giving me a migraine.
His cousin and Ms. A will surely not suspect a thing since we are not a showy couple. I did say that we've broken up 5 times already and they didn't know about it happening at all. Well, it didn't really happen but they don't know that.
I just want him to arrange someone to leave small gifts on my desk or at home; so that when Neo's cousin spreads the news about Neo and me being a couple to the Gu and Tan family I will have a good explanation to tell. Something like falling in love with a romantic handsome man.(-.-)
This will only last for a year anyway, so saying that marriage should be discussed at a later date will do. We can say that we are still young and don't want the public to know about our relationship will save us some unwanted scandals when we 'break up' after a year.
The problem now is how I will explain things to Vincent. If he didn't show up today, I could have time to make an excuse as to why I am meeting up with Neo but after what he witnessed earlier it will be hard to convince him that nothing is wrong.
”Don't worry.” Vincent uttered this two words with sincerity. I slowly lifted my head up to look at him. His face gentle and warm, no fragment left from the cold and dangerous boy earlier.
