I could feel my head been covered with a jacket. I couldn't see anything but I could feel someone hugging me tightly and my head was resting on his chest.
I heard some of the guys scream. They were probably startled to see a girl.
"O-h, I'm so sorry guys." I heard Henry voice and I could feel his heart beat as he talked. "This is my girlfriend, she came here because of me."
My heart started to race really fast. Did he just say girlfriend? I smiled and I could feel my cheeks red.
"Sorry we will leave." His voice sounded gentle and I could already guess his cold expression.
Henry released me and he grabbed my hand. He kept dragging me and I didn't know where I was going to. I kept moving and I was getting tired of walking. I finally stopped and he released my hand.
I removed the jacket from my face and I looked around. We were in the elevator and it was going down. I walked closer and stayed by his left.
Silence.
I looked at the metallic elevator and stood like a statue. The elevator opened after years of silence. I looked outside and it was our floor.
"Susy." He called my name sharply making my heart skip a beat.
He faced me and I looked at him with surprise.
"Let's talk." He gave me a stern and cold look.
He walked out of the elevator pretending like he didn't seem cool right now. I followed him quietly at his back.
He opened the door of his room, directed me to go in.
I wandered my eyes and shivered entering his room. He entered and he closed the door.
"Let's go through the balcony." His voice was the same, same with his expression.
I nodded and we entered his balcony. I stayed at the usual place I normally stayed. I was standing at his right.
"Don't you think you have things to explain?" He looked at me and our eyes met each other.
I scrolled my eyes left and right, looking at his eyes with emotion.
"Don't you also have things to say?" My eyes stopped scrolling and I looked at him with emotionally
"What are you even saying?" He squeezed his face and he looked so frustrated.
"Let's do it like this, tell me your relationship with Piper." I demanded in a dry voice.
"Piper?" He raised a brow.
"She came to tell me that you and her never broke up."
He tightened his eyes and he removed his gaze from me. He frowned his face and tightened his hands on the rail of the balcony.
"Piper!" He called her name dangerously.
My eyes were already teary and could drop. He faced me again and he exhaled deeply.
"The truth is that Piper and I used to be a thing." He said with the most truthful face I had seen. "We used to date but no anymore. She's just someone I can't let go."
"Why?!" I screamed and my eyes were already full with water.
"I have already told you the relationship between Piper and I. Now tell me about your work." He furrowed his brows.
I rolled the tears back in my eyes and faced front. I squeezed my hands together and exhaled deeply.
"Well," my voice became calm, "the vice president of my workplace is a complete womanizer. He had been eyeing me for a very long time but I just ignored him. He called me to his office and pushed me to seat on his laps, unfortunately for me, his daughter walked in."
I placed some strands of my hair to the back and sniffed in some air.
"He had high position so I was suspended for six months." I squeezed my face and murmured a little.
His gaze was still fixed at me. I turned to look at him.
"Tell me the truth Henry. I know you are missing something." He removed his eyes from me and faced front.
"What I'm about to tell you is really serious. Only few people know about this truth." He gave a serious look and he made me more curious. "It all happened five years ago. My father used to beat my mother. My brother and I never knew but when we found out, my mother banned us from telling the police."
He paused and I could see tears packed in his eyes. He was panting and sweaty.
"We had already planned to call the police but we were too late." Those tears fell out of his eyes but he wiped it immediately. "Piper and I were dating at that time. The two of us had a heated argument that made me very angry. I came home and went straight to my room, I picked my air pod and played music very loudly. It was so loud that I didn't hear when my dad beat my mom to death."
He fell to the ground and he started shaking. My heart started beating very fast and I was feeling so guilty. I just made him reveal such a dark past of his.
I fell to the ground and held him but his eyes were shut.
"Henry!"
