Chapter 29 - CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Why the heck was he holding her hair so tightly. She looked like she wasn't comfortable. I furrowed my brows and walked towards them angrily, staying at their middle. I grabbed his collar and landed a punch on his left cheek. He staggered but I pulled him back to reach eye level with me.

"Argh!" I heard Emi scream loudly. "What are you doing?!"

The so called Daniel looked at me confused with blood on his mouth.

"Have you gone mad?!" Daniel pushed my chest making me to stagger back, almost hitting Emi.

I widened my eyes and we stared at each other angrily.

"How dare..." I was about landing another punch to him when Emi came to our middle. I stopped myself and looked at her panting.

"What do you think you are doing?" She was panting and she looked at me angrily.

"He was..."

"Why do you care? Huh?" She looked at me angrily but her eyes had another expression. "I think you should go, Justin."

Those words hit my heart like rocks. I looked at her with a furrowed brows and my eyes went to him. He eyed me and rolled his eyes. I let out a deep sigh and turned around. I was walking quietly, feeling so embarrassed.

The truth she never knew was I liked her from the first time I saw her. The first time I came to this hotel, she gave me a drink. She was the most beautiful person I ever saw. I followed her around and made sure I found all her favorite places. The only reason I stayed at this hotel was because of her. I was just too scared and more of a coward to share my feelings.

SUSAN

Why was I worrying about Piper words. She was probably jealous of us. It seemed like she liked Henry but Henry never said who she was. I let out a deep sigh and sat on my bed close to the table. I wore a worried look and my thought process kept flowing.

There was a lot of things Henry wasn't telling me. Why was he running away from the media? What was his relationship with Piper? Piper really seemed confident when she said they never broke up. I actually won't have cared if she was his ex girlfriend that still chased after him.

I heard the door bell ring, snapping me out of my thought. I wore my fluffy pink slippers and walked towards the door. I opened the door and saw Henry.

He smiled at me happily but I faked a smile at him.

"Are you busy?" He asked.

Should I just tell him what was going on in my mind? Should I really tell him? If I did, it might just cause an irrelevant conflict. We only started dating not so long, didn't want to spoil the mood.

He waved his hands at my face, snapping me from my thought.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh?" I wandered my eyes around looking confused. "I mean, no." I smiled making him to chuckle.

"You seem to be lost elsewhere." He chuckled again. "Come, follow me."

He turned around and was walking. I followed him at his back quietly. He took me into his room and into his balcony.

I stayed at his right and was looking at the view. The last time I was here, I didn't really get to see this beautiful scenery. The view was so beautiful, many trees, beautiful flowers and to top it, the small pond. The sky was blue and beautiful. The sound of birds and the breeze blowing the trees was so amazing.

I could see him looking at me from side view and I made it too obvious I was ignoring his presence.

"Do you want to say something?" I couldn't see his expression but his voice sounded eager.

I smiled and finally faced him. I paused when I saw him looking at me closely.

"Nothing." I said sharply, removing my gaze from him.

He walked closer to me and he wrapped his right hand around my right shoulder.

"You seem really troubled." He sighed deeply and his voice seemed deeper.

I rested my head on his chest and wore a more worried look.

"I'm okay." I lied and adjusted my head on his chest to make me more comfortable.

"If you say so." He tightened his hands around my shoulder.

It was definitely for the best. All I needed was to trust him and not have any doubt.

HENRY

I heard the door bell ring, making me to wake up from my sleep. I wasn't a deep sleeper, just footsteps could jack me up. I squeezed my face and I checked the time. It was just 10:00pm. I sighed and I already knew the only person who could visit me at this hour. I stood from my bed and wore my navy blue slippers. I walked towards the door with a frown and opened it.

"What do you want Piper?" I asked flatly, looking down to see her.

"Sorry to disturb you at this hour but I've got something to say." She was sweating and she looked so worried.

I raised a brow and sighed afterwards. I opened the door widely for her to enter. She entered and I noticed her holding a white paper.

"What Piper?" I asked reluctantly.

"Don't get angry about what I am about to say?" She faced opposite me and she still wore the look.

I rolled my eyes and I already knew what she was going to say. "If it's about the company, then..."

"No!" She said sharply. "It's about Susy."

"Susy?" I looked at curiously.

"Yes." She squeezed her face and she stretched the papers to me.

I looked at her confused and picked the paper.

"What the heck is this?" I furrowed my brows at her and the paper.

"The truth is that Susy was suspended from her job for trying to seduce her boss." She said cornering her lips.

I calmed myself before making any judgement. I looked through the paper and it was a report about Susy getting suspended. Everything seemed very unnatural and unreal. What I saw in front of me was clear evident but I knew there was more to it. I frowned and threw the paper to the floor.

Piper looked at me with shock. "Henry?"

"I have given you enough freedom but I don't think this will work. Please leave." I directed my eyes to the door.

She looked at me with more surprise. "Do you know how hard it took me to get this information?" She scoffed. "You know how things didn't end well with us. I am just doing this so you won't have to go through stress."

"Out Piper!" She shiverwd at my loud voice. "I already have a girlfriend so I think it's time you stop clinging to me."

"Henry." Her eyes were already teary. She frowned and she walked out of the room.
