I heard the elevator doors close. I couldn't even look back at him even though I know he was no longer there. I was frozen for a moment and still couldn't believe what I saw.
"Sky? President Wong is waiting for you." Minnie suddenly said.
"I--" I was about to say an excuse about why I am still standing there but I said, "O-okay." and walked towards the office.
I felt like I was floating while taking steps towards the door.
I asked myself if it is really Alexander that I saw. Or is it just someone who looks exactly just like him? There's no other way to find out. he left already.
I knocked 3 times and opened the door. I saw Lucas sitting on his chair facing the desk. "G-good morning." I stuttered.
"What's wrong?" he asked me. I froze up again. Am I that obvious? I looked up to him and shook my head.
'N-nothing, Sir." I answered but still couldn't help but stutter. I started to walk closer to him. He watched me do my thing and based on how he looked, he's still doubting about my answer.
He must think I am traumatized by something and saw it before coming into his office.
"You called for me, Sir?" I asked.
"Take a seat," he said. I did. "I heard you were planning on leaving the internship."
I can no longer hear his words properly, it's like my ears just won't listen.
I have to talk to him right now. I am going to lose my chance to see him again if I lose this chance right now.
"Ms. Levis?" Lucas Wong called me. I raised my head surprised and immediately changed my expression to avoid looking so weird.
Who could have thought that he's just going to be here hanging out with this guy? How did he get close to Liam Wong's son? What is he thinking? "Y-yes,?"
"Are you okay?"
no.
I really need to talk to him right now.
I gulped and nodded.
He gave me a weird look before proceeding. " I heard you're quitting the internship. Why?"
"I am not quitting, Sir."
"What?" he asked me surprised.
"I thought I would just continue going here, Sir," I said to end the conversation earlier. " I'll just call Ms. Jinny about it, Sir," I said.
"Wha- why?" he asked me again. I can't come up with an answer so I just smiled.
"I apologize for being rude, but can I go now, Sir?" I asked. He looked at me surprised.
I can't even talk about my manners right now. I know it is very rude for an intern to talk like this to an executive. But I have priorities and that is to talk to Alexander.
"O-okay." he said without talking anything about my manners. I stood up and even made a bow that made him even surprised. He must think that I am weird right now.
I immediately walked back to the door. I didn't run. I walked as calmly as possible. I opened the door and closed it as gently as possible and I ran towards the elevator.
I even abandoned my plan on withdrawing from my internship. I got to see him and talk to him right now.
I thought he was going for the exit so I immediately pressed the first floor. The elevator took a lot of time. It became even slower than I thought it was. I thought it took me hours to get to the first floor.
I immediately went for the exit and hoped that I get to see him there. I looked around hoping to see someone tall wearing a black leather jacket.
I couldn't even believe that he was wearing an expensive watch right now. I don't know what he did to have it. I don't know how he has been. I don't know where he has been all these years. I don't know why he left me.
Disappointed, I went back to the lobby. Alexander was nowhere to be found. I should've just talked to him when I saw him earlier. I don't know why I didn't do that. I was just there, standing like an idiot.
He doesn't even look surprised when he saw me. He looked at me and I know he recognizes me. He didn't even say anything and walked past me just like that.
And then, I remembered the note he left me, he wanted me to forget about him and anything related to Armania. My shoulders grew stiff. That's it. Maybe he wanted me to act as if I don't recognize him or I know anything about him.
I shouldn't have had chased after him. Why am I even getting disappointed about not being able to talk to him when he already told me to forget about him. With my shoulders down, I went to where Leigh is hoping that they would make me do something that'll make me forget about seeing him today.
They did. I was able to make myself busy with loads of work and forget about him. But when I got home, I couldn't help but think about it.
It's 2 am and I am still not able to sleep. I close my eyes and I feel like something is bothering me.
Once again, I closed my eyes. I didn't move for 15 minutes. My feet needs itching but I couldn't move. I thought I'd be able to sleep with this but I still couldn't. I grabbed the pillow beside me and threw it away.
How am I supposed to fall asleep now? I am tired and I have to wake up early. How did I get like this after seeing that darn face? He told me to forget about him. And how am I supposed to do that? He should've just erased my memories rather than leaving me like that.
As if I could forget everything that happened. I was kidnapped and brought somewhere magical. I almost got killed and had some friends. Now I can no longer see them because I am back on the earth and couldn't even do anything about them being trapped in there.
I am very worried about Cira being left there. They must be being hunted by now. Are they even alive?
Suddenly, I felt weird. The pillow didn't land on something. It didn't make any noise. I took the pillow that I used to cover my face away and went up.
Then I saw Alexander standing beside the door holding the pillow that I threw.
"What the--" I almost cursed.
It's 2 am. And why is he in my room?
"What are you doing in my room?" I asked as if I never wanted to see him again.
He's wearing the same thing. He didn't move and just looked at me.
I can't explain how much I wanted to ask him everything i wanted to ask right now. I don't know where to start. I am looking for him just now and now that he's standing right here I am not saying anything.
"Y-your back." the only words that I managed to say. I can't even see his expression. It's very dark in the room that I could only see his figure, but still, I know it was him.
I don't know what to say to him. I haven't seen him in a while and after worrying about his whereabouts for years, he's going to stand right beside my door like this.
Idiot,
"I can read your mind, you know," he said.
"What the--" I immediately covered my mouth. It's as if I didn't know that. I always knew that he can read minds. But why read it right now?
"W-what are you doing here?" I asked him after uncovering my mouth.
"I came to see you." He said and walked towards me. I felt nervous when he started walking towards me. And when he was close enough, he took my hand and pulled me up. In a blink of an eye, we're at the park.
I almost lost my balance when we got here and the bed that I was sitting on disappeared. I looked around and it was the park where he gave me the necklace, the night before he disappeared.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked him. I looked at him and noticed that he was still holding my hand. I pulled it back. Then I noticed where he was looking at.
I almost choked. I wanted to run far away so he can't see me. I am just wearing my pajamas with bear prints with no bra on!
I immediately covered myself with my hand. He noticed that I felt uncomfortable. He gave me the pillow that he's still holding when we got here. I immediately grabbed it and hugged it to cover myself.
Pervert.
He sat on the grass first so I did the same.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked him.
"To talk," he answered. He's still the Alexander I knew who answer in short sentences. "Why are you coming to Wong's building?" He asked me.
"Internship. They offered my school an internship. We can get experience on our desired job in an internship." I said and hugged the pillow tight.
"Stay away from him." he suddenly said.
"Why?" I asked him. Did he just take me here to say that I should stay away from Lucas Wong?
"Stay away from anyone related to Liam Wong," he said. He didn't even bother to answer my question.
"Then how about you? Why are you with---"
"I have plans. You shouldn't get involved anymore." he cut me off.
"I can't," I said. "I lost my chance to withdraw," I said. I don't want him to know why. It's because I lost it when I saw him earlier.
"Stay away from--"
"I said I can't." I cut him off this time with an annoyed tone. Is this everything that he wanted to tell me? He's not even looking at me. Will he care to explain why he disappeared for years? I had thought he had already gone to Armania and now I found out that he's just wandering around the earth all this time.
Everything went silent. He's looking at something very far and I am just staring at my bare feet on the grass. He didn't even let me get my slippers.
Moments passed and he was still not talking. He's busy looking at something.
"So why did you leave?" I asked taking up all the courage left in me. I thanked God I didn't look at him when I asked the question. He looked at me. If I wasn't looking at my bare feet, I would've met his eyes now.
"Stay away from anyone related to--"
BLAAG!!!
"You left me worrying for 3 years and you're coming back without saying anything and repeating those things-- answer my question at least!" I yelled at him after hitting him with the pillow. I didn't manage to get the face because he immediately covered his face with his arm as if he knew I was going to hit him.
I sighed and went back to my seat and hugged the pillow again.
What's more annoying is that he's not even saying anything. He's not going to explain why he disappeared.
"Bring me back," I told him. "It's cold," I said.
Even if I stay here, He's not going to say anything. Might as well just avoid the awkwardness.
He took my hand and now I'm back on my bed. I went back to laying on my bed and turned my back at him. I took my blanket and covered my body.
It's useless talking to him if he's not going to say anything. if he's not going to answer my questions I'm not going to do what he's saying.
"Leave," I said coldly. I didn't check if he did because that'd be awkward. I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
