"The number you have dialed—"
"Damn it!" I was furious when Wade was not answering his phone. I tried to contact him many times, but his phone was either off or busy.
"What is his doing anyway?"
I was about to turn off my phone when I receive a message coming from my manager.
She was reminding me about the schedule signing contract with a famous clothing brand.
I ask my driver to take me to Aesha's building, Wade works there as an Operational Manager. After more than an hour's drive, the driver stopped right in front of the building.
I hurried down and entered.
I haven't familiar with the place, but I tried to cover my face so no one will recognize me as much as possible. It's a good thing that no one noticed me until I got into the seventeenth-floor building where Wade's office was.
I was close to Wade's office when I saw Sylvia come out.
"Hey!"
"Maam Eden?! W-What brings you here?" I saw a surprised expression from Sylvia. She couldn't believe that I came to her boss's office.
"Can you tell your boss that I wanted to speak with him?"
"Y-yes, ma'am." She was hesitant for a while, she told me to wait and I follow her inside; there, I saw Sylvia's occupying the left side. While the opposite was indicated that it is Wade's office.
Sylvia's hands were trembling while picking up the phone.
"S-sorry," she said after accidentally spilled the juice that was placed on her desk. I nodded and patiently waiting for Wade to come out of his office.
I noticed Sylvia's glance at me, she seems anxious every time our eyes met.
Why do I feel like something is going on?
Wade and I have been in a relationship for seven years. We met at the event when I was promoting a brand. He was one of the investors of the product I am promoting.
At that time, my career was only starting as a model. Wade was always there at any event and social gathering I attend. Sometimes he also makes a way to send me a gift and flowers. Because of Wade's persistence, we become a relationship.
Honestly, my parents won't be pleased when they found out that I have a boyfriend. Because they already choose the man I should marry for the sake of the strong connection of our family business. And that will only happen if I marry the son of the Chen family. An American-Chinese businessman that my great grandfather friend when he was starting his business.
An hour was passed, but Wade was still not come out.
"M-Maam, I think Sir Wade was not in his office." Sylvia can't look at me straight in the eye.
I decided to go to his office. Sylvia immediately stood up from her seat when she saw that I was going to her boss's office.
She was about to stop me when I hurriedly opened that damn door;
I stiffened and could not move for a moment from what I saw.
Wade, who was not sitting alone; a woman was sitting on his lap. I saw Wade's hand was now entering into the woman's skirt while his other hand was touching inside the blouse. They were kissing and moaning while caressing each other.
My mind didn't want to accept the reality. That Wade was touching another woman in front of me.
Why didn't I listen to Lyndsey?
She already warned me about Wade, but instead of listening, I got mad and told her that she was only making up a story about my boyfriend.
Damn it!
No wonder I didn't even receive a short reply from him when I said that I would visit him in his office.
My chest felt tight; only then I realized that I was holding my breath. The woman whispering and moaning disturbed my ears. For a moment, I didn't say anything and ran as fast as I can. I heard Sylvia calling me. But I was determined to get out of this place. I cried so hard when I enter the elevator and press the ground floor. I don't care if someone sees me in this state. My hands were shaking while pulling my hair. I wanted to scream and go back there, but it will only make me look miserable and pathetic. I realize Wade's was not worth any single of my tears.
But this was damn hurt, I learn to like Wade and eventually love him?
Whenever I wipe my face, tears keep flowing in my eyes. I notice some people looking at me. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them realized who I am.
When I finally got out of the building. I let out several sighs.
Suddenly, someone called me and grabbed me by the shoulder. I turned around.
"W-who are you?" I said while trembling.
He fixed some of my hair that covering my face. I looked up in surprise, and the man looks at me; I was speechless for a moment.
Who is this man?
He takes off his suit to cover my shaking body. He was tall and well built that I didn't even reach to his shoulder.
He hugged me to my surprise.
"Eden..."
The way he called my name, it seems that he knows me.
When I smell his perfume mixed with his natural manly scent, I suddenly felt relieved that all I wanted to do was stay in his arms.

******
Slam!
I screamed out in surprise when the door suddenly burst open.
I was holding my chest in shock.
"Who the hell--"
It was my manager who just opened the door. How did she find me here?
Tracy is my very efficient manager who handles everything, from my schedule, taping and endorsement. After I end my contract with Mr. Morgan, she works as my manager, the previous talent scout that I decided to hire.
" How did you find me here?" If I remember, I didn't tell anyone where I was, even Abigail, my assistant, well, except Lyndsey. She's the one that I could only tell everything when I was unexpected out of the country without telling my manager.
But I guess not anymore.
I pretend that my manager didn't exist, so I continue what I was doing when she did not interrupt me.
"Should I kill Wade or not," I said silently while pinching the rose petals that I pick in the vase.
I repeat.
