"What the hell are you doing?!" Sebastian yelled walking to her, he grabbed her arm forcefully and pulled her up. "You can't even do that? Lift the bag?" He growled and Charis wanted to step back but his grip on her arm was too tight. His eyes spat fire at her so she did not have the guts to tell him he was hurting her.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled and he scoffed.
"Sorry? Of course, that is all you can actually say, that is the only thing you can actually do to say sorry. Why are you so clumsy? Gosh, you are useless!"
Charis' eyes met his, hers wide in shock and he returned her glare with an intensity of his own. "Have something else to say? No? Then get out of here and go clean up yourself" he said throwing her arm away. Charis was too petrified to do anything but walk away with her head down, but not without looking at everyone's expression.
The secretaries gave her a pitiful glance while the other men just looked at her with blank expressions. She broke into a full sprint the moment she was out of sight, tears streaming down her cheeks as she ran. How could he do that? How could he humiliate her like that in front of everyone?
She ran so much her legs hurt, and by the time she was panting so much the breath that would have given her sobs life was now sucked out. Placing her hands on her knees she huffed and puffed. images of his angry eyes and his emotionless and hurtful words filled her mind and she trembled from the interaction. What had she done to deserve this? Why was she being treated this way? The only she wanted in her life was to have a mundane normal life but experience a mind-blowing love but she couldn't even have that. The person she had been dreaming of for the past month was so cruel to her that it hurt more than anything.
More than anything she regretted throwing away that card, she regretted it. She couldn't help but imagine how much different her life would have been if she had just kept the card, but if there is anything she knew not to do is live her life wondering about what she would have done differently in her life. She would not go back, she couldn't go back there. She did not know where the bathroom was but she knew how to find the gate from there.
It was long distance but she figured one foot at a time would take her to where she needed to be. She hadn't realized how late it was until the day began to disappear and by the time she reached the gate, it was already twilight. She called a cab and she waited for it, till it became completely dark. When she got tired of standing she sat on the floor, despite the glances she got from people, she couldn't care at that point. Her legs burned, her throat was parched and she was exhausted both from walking and all the crying. Not a rage settled in her chest, so she just sat there boiling.
Every name she could think of she used to cuss at him in her head, making plans for how she would murder the man. She had watched various cars pass by her but this was the first one that stopped. She did not give the car a second glance because she did not want to look desperate... well more desperate than she already was. It hadn't stopped right in front of her anyway so she kept looking away.
"Hello, miss?" Shit the car was parked there for her.
Charis looked up at the person talking to her from where she sat on the floor, her eyes widened at first, he was so good-looking, that was her first impression. "Can I offer you a ride?"
She knew another good-looking guy, he was a jerk. She got up immediately, wiping her butt.
"No thank you, I am fine."
He sighed softly, "are you sure? It's pretty late, you won't find any transport here, it is private property." He said.
"I am fine, really. I just ordered a cab it should be here anytime soon, thank you for your offer" she said looking away and praying that she would just go away.
"If it is still not here doesn't that mean it is not coming?"
"How is that your concern?!" She yelled, he stepped back due to her sudden outburst but at this point, Charis wasn't even thinking her mouth just kept talking, "are you a kidnapper? Or Are you a pervert?" She asked.
The man opened his mouth in shock but she kept talking, not even interested in his response. "Can you not understand No? I mean take the hint I do not want or need your help so please leave me alone!" She yelled, panting heavily. Not even giving him a chance she decided to go wait for her cab in the parking lot if the building. Leaving a very flabbergasted stranger to watch her retreat.
