And right then I saw life leave her beautiful eyes while she was still alive
She turned to face him, her expression blank .
"What are you saying ?" . All that came was whisper out of her mouth .
Sebastian felt proud at that moment . Felt like he won . But there was still way more to go.
She pushed him away . "That little rat ?! No ! Tell me you're lying " . Her eyes begged him to say something else .
"You heard me right. Lydia will now be an equal in this firm not just an advisor under a controlling boss"
June felt her blood boiling . The tears of defeat were pricking the corners of her eyes but she blinked them away .
"I told you I'll make it hell for you " he said confidently . "And as everyone knows I don't like waiting so I decided that 7 days are too much for women like you so you have three days left or-" he paused as he noticed her glossy eyes. "Or you'll cry a lot more ." He grinned .
June gave Lydia a threatening look and decided something that might change everything . "If she stays, I will not " . She picked her bag and stormed out of the room .
She took her phone out and called Sean . This wasn't gone last long anymore .
"For the last time, June, are you sure ? This is your whole life " Sean said as he handed June the papers out of printer .
"My dignity is precious and dear and nothing else is above it . That's what my mother taught me " her voice broke as she remembered her mom . "Those are my principles and without them there is no me "
"Would you like to read it ?" Sean asked.
June looked up," I trust you " she said. As she sighed she felt something is wrong. It all felt wrong . Her gut clenched as she signed the papers . She narrowed her eyes . She wanted to read the contract . The name, the firm name, formalities, the new owner's- . Her phone rang.
June looked at the caller's ID . She handed Sean back the papers and left to answer the phone.
"I want to see Mr. McClain, now, please "
"Who shall I tell him ?"
June breathed, " June, June Demoura " . She took a seat and waited patiently. It was late and it was also the first time she wasn't barging into his office.
"Ms.Demoura, please" the secretary stretched her hand pointing to his door. June nodded and went in .
"June, the time finally came for you to apologize . Frankly, it's exciting to me. " Sebastian said as he saw her walk to him . He too walked up to her so he was facing her .He was in a plain white shirt with the first three buttons open . He was looking sick . If they didn't have this thing going on she would've gave him a chance.
She smiled lightly as she clapped .
He knotted his brows. What was she trying to do?
"I'm applauding you. That mind. You're a genius. You convince Jason to sell his share to you for a good sum of money and a promising future and then give it to the most person I hate ..of course after you then we are left with two scenarios either I live with it or quit and both are equally painful and in both of them " she paused "I lose ".
Sebastian listened carefully and watched as her eyes turned glassy .
"This was my whol-whole life . I spent my years building all this, every inch, every detail ! And then an arrogant asshole comes like you and threatens my peace " a tear fell but she wiped roughly with the back of her hand. "But, but you still didn't win because to burn me you'll have to go through hell and back because I no longer have anything to lose "
"You think so, I know what you don't show to people...even the closest to you. What you're scared of " he wrapped his arms around her waist " what nobody knows about you ...I know it all "
He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, he placed his forehead against hers and looked at her red luscious open lips . They never looked so tempting and he just couldn't resist kissing them.
He looked into her still glassy eyes . They were hungry and misty. The city lights shined on her, contouring her features.
She turned her face away from his face and pushed him away. "Stop your games" .
"It's not a game, maybe I just want you in more than a way " . He implied as he placed his hands in his pockets . He was amused as he saw her eyes widen.
"Oh god a pervert too! Unbelievable!"
He grinned widely, "A cup of coffee ? It looks like we are going to have a long night "
She huffed,"no we won't pervert because I'm leaving " .
"I'm going to get you, you know two more days " he shouted as she left
"You wrote it in my name ! What the hell do you think you're doing ?!" Alexander scolded. "Do you think this is smart ? This is your life...literally "
"It's not smart but it's right besides you'll just b-"
"Right!? This is not right June ! We both know it "
"Stop shouting at me ! We both know what Lydia did and I refuse to let her feel like I let her win " . She paused ." Sebastian wants to ruin my life but I won't let him "
Alexander let a sigh and sat next to her . He held her hand and kissed the back of it . "As long I'm here I won't let anyone ruin your life "
June smiled lightly and placed her head on his chest . "Thanks, Alex . I don't know what would I've done without you " . She grabbed his hands and placed them on her face . " you are an amazing friend "
Alexander's smile faded, he didn't want to become any longer a friend. He closed the distance between their lips .
