Ausha's POV

I felt like I was stoned from where I was standing, I couldn't believe that Lance was doing this right in front of me! He's kissing his secretary in front of me? His wife. I wiped my tears and swallowed. I'm the one he flirts with while what he's doing is not?

There was a part of my heart that was hurt by what I saw, somehow I accepted him even though I had no feelings for him but this was too much! It's not fair hahaha, what use am I to him?

I shouldn't be surprised because he's a playboy after all. I could clearly see how he was kissing his Secretary violently as if they were the only two here, as if he was showing me that he could replace me and ignore me. I couldn't handle what I was seeing, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to leave, I quickly entered the nearest comfort room, entered the cubicle and locked it and I couldn't hold back the tears that wanted to escape again.

I don't know how many minutes I spent there, I fixed myself, I retouched first so it wouldn't be obvious that I was crying and when I was fine, I thought about going back to work. I couldn't be absent because it was my first day just yet and I shouldn't be affected by what I saw and what Lance did. 1:40 p.m.

When I got back to the CFO Department, it's good that Mr. was not there. Alcantara for sure I might get scolded and I don't want that to happen. I forgot what happened earlier, it was work time and I shouldn't bring the problem here.

"Where did you have lunch earlier, Ausha?" Vanessa asked to get me back to normal. I turned to her, she was looking at me. Vanessa is tall and thin, with fair skin and short shoulder-length hair, brown hair and similar eyes.

"Ahm... I had lunch at the restaurant," was all I answered.

"Ah, is that so? Next time you're going with us, right? So we can talk and get to know each other, is that possible?" she asked again.

I nodded, I finished the things that had to be fixed, but no matter how much I tried to focus on work, the event from earlier came to my mind spontaneously, like a broken plate that kept coming into my mind. Shut up! Just stop!

At five o'clock Mr. President, some of my co-workers went home first, I thought of finishing what was bothering me.

I arranged all my things and left there, I also had people in the elevator at the same time, I think they were from another department because of their uniforms, one men and two woman.

The elevator stopped at the 5th floor and two women entered, even though there were six of us inside the elevator. They were also from another department, they were both talkative, I didn't listen to their conversation because I wasn't interested, but they caught my attention when one of them mentioned his name.

"Ayieeeee, is it true? You're lucky, you saw Sir Thyro, he's still handsome, he's so handsome that you can drop your panties, what is he doing in your department Yumi?" asked the girl with short shoulder-length hair, I think her height is around 5'5, she is wearing a black skirt and blouse.

Her friend frowned. "Ma'am Nami came to visit, Sir Thyro even entered her office while Sir came out, I think something happened with Sir Thyro, Hanna," Yumi answered with a snort.

My heart beat faster when I heard it, I didn't believe it right away but there was a part of my heart that believed it. I know Thyro is not cheating on me! And who's that girl named Nami?

"How did you say that? And Sir Thyro is not like that," Hanna defended. Yumi sighed, her hair was long to her waist and curly black, I just noticed that their uniforms were different colors.

"Because I heard some rustling and grunting inside Ma'am Nami's office, then it took some time for Sir Thyro to come out, so maybe they had sex there," Yumi answered weakly, even though she said it softly and I could hear it still.

*sigh*

I quickly got out of the elevator so as not to hear what Yumi had to say next, I didn't want to believe them right away, there are many fraudsters today but on the other hand how could I believe that? I don't know what to believe anymore. I immediately got into the stopped taxi.

"Where are you Ma'am?" asked the driver.

"Anywhere," I replied looking outside.

"Uh... Ma'am."

"Just drive, I'll just tell you to drop me off," I loudly ordered.
T
The man nodded and started the car, I don't know how many minutes I was looking outside and thinking deeply. It is already dark around and we meet many cars, we are still here in the city.

"M-Ma'am, where exactly are you going to get off? We've been driving around here in Tagaytay city for a while," the driver said, looking at me from the rear mirror. I saw a club, it's up and down, I want to forget what happened today, I need to drink.

"Just drop me off opposite the Club, how much?" I asked when he stopped the car in front of the club.

"1,250 pesos ma'am," replied the man.

When I gave it to him, I immediately went out and approached the club. "Desire Club" I read the name of the Club, does the name of the Club sound familiar or is it just a coincidence?

There are two bouncers at the double door, both wearing black T-shirts, black pants and black shoes, their bodies are big and they seem to have overdone it at the gym.

"Name? Age?" asked one.

"Ausha Bue–Callen, 23," I answered, his companion nodded and opened the door.

"Welcome to Desire Club and enjoy Ma'am enjoy your stay," I said to both of them at the same time and went inside.

The first thing that struck me when I entered the club was noise, the place was quite dark, the disco lights were dazzling and there were different kinds of colors, the whole place smelled of cigarettes and alcohol, I went to the counter and ordered alcohol.

"One glass of Tequila please."

"Wait a minute Ma'am," bartender said and took care of my order.

I looked around at my stage where the five girls in bikinis were dancing, their bikinis were almost useless because the things that shouldn't have come out and the men watching them were almost drooling.

"Here's your order ma'am," bartender called out to me. I immediately took it and drank it, I winced at the bitterness, and drank it as the heat ran down my throat.

"Another one please." I don't know how many minutes or hours I've been there. I've had a bit of alcohol, dizzy because of the amount I drank, my cell phone caught my attention when it rang.

*My King Thyro calling...*

I lost my sense of humor when I saw that it was him who was calling. Shall I answer? Or not? In the end I answered his laugh.

"Where the damn are you now, Ausha?" his voice was cold but worried.

"T-Thyro? I—" How did he know?

"Are you drunk? Damnit tell me where are you?" he asked again, I heard him start his car.

"I-I'm not... drunk, Thyro. W-Why did you call me?" I asked, holding onto the counter as my eyes rolled.

"I'm worried about you, I called Nanny fell and she told me that you're not home yet, it's 9 p.m. I'm worried about you, My Shasha, tell me where are you, please..." he worried please Am I that entertained to catch up with me at 9 p.m.? I can't even count how many shot glasses I drank, all I know is that I want to get rid of my thoughts and problems.

"I'm in, D-Desire Club," I answered nervously, noticing that a man sat next to me and ordered a Scotch.

"Okay, wait for me, I'm coming," he said and hung up.

"Alone Miss?" asked the man sitting next to me.

He is a tall man, with thick eyebrows, narrow eyes and red lips. He has a good body, he's obviously taken care of at the gym, he's wearing a white tshirt with a black leather jacket, black pants and shoes, I think he's the same age as Lance.

"No," I replied and looked away from him, because he looked at me strangely which sent shivers through my entire system.

"You're alone here Miss drinking alone is bullshit! I'm alone here too so mind if I accompany you?" he said and grinned mischievously.

"I'm sorry Mister, but I really have someone with me, just find someone else," I replied and moved away from him a little because he was getting closer to me, I was already dizzy that he would add more.

"I know that strategy Miss, that won't work for me anymore, don't you KJ, that's why you're here because you want to forget your problem, right?" he said and stood up and grabbed my left arm, I was shocked and scared of him, I pushed him hard.

I pushed him so hard that he bumped into the waiter. His leather jacket and his white t-shirt and pants got wet.

"Fuck look what have you than to my leather jacket, you know how much this cost? Your salary is one year short, stupid!" he shouted loudly. The vein in his neck was stretched and his fists were clenched and he was still slightly shaking with anger.

The waiter bowed. "I'm sorry sir, sorry," he apologized, obviously nervous. He punched the waiter and made me fall back to the floor.

"That's not enough payment, stupid." I jumped when he turned to me, he frowned and looked at me evilly.

I bit my lip nervously. Thyro where are you? I need you now! I winced when he grabbed my left arm and pulled me towards him, I sank into his chest.

"Wh-what! L-Let me go!" I said I was struggling. Struggling to take my arm, I winced even more as I felt his nails dig into my skin.

"No you come with me, Miss look what have you done to my leather jacket, pay me with your body," he said with a smile and looked all over me, it was obvious from his words that he was already drunk and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes in his mouth. Ew gross!

"Let me go, please!" I was crying, no one was helping me, the other customers were just watching and laughing as if they were enjoying what they were watching.

"Don't bother, I can get you out of your job!" he loudly shouted at bartender. My heart beat faster when he kissed my neck, the hair on my body stood up.

"S-Stop, please... let me go, y-you pervert!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face, forcing myself away from him and trying to break free from his grip.

I hit his chest to somehow hurt him and let me go. But he didn't care, he grabbed my right arm and pressed me closer to him, it was quite dark where we were so only a few could see. I was surprised when someone pulled me hard and pulled me to one side, the man who was harassing me jumped.

"T-Thyro..." I called him out of my own accord.

"Stay. Away. From. My. Girlfriend. You idiot." Thyro was leaning on the man as he punched him several times, his fist shaking as it hit the man's face, it was also red due to the force of Thyro's punch. As if my dizziness had disappeared, I rushed to Thyro and pulled him.

"T-Thyro, stop, p-please," I begged, everyone's attention was on us, the music wasn't loud and the whole club was bright. When Thyro left running after the man, the two bouncers quickly grabbed the man. Thyro quickly hugged me and kissed my forehead, I also hugged him back, I buried my face in his chest and smelled his familiar scent. I could hear his heart beating fast, as if he was losing weight, his breathing was also deep.

"Let me go, fuck! Who are you?" the man asked Thyro. He looked at the man, anger and annoyance still on his face.

"Thyro, that's right please, let's go," I calmed him down and pulled him to leave. Thyro turned into a bartender.

"You take care of it, Mr. Cortez." It just nodded, and smiled at me. We were quiet inside his car, my heart was beating abnormally, it was restless.

"I'm sorry," I apologized to him, bending down, unable to meet his sharp eyes.

"You have nothing to apologize for, you have done nothing wrong, I'm worried about you My Queen Shasha, then I catch you kissing and abusing you, that's when I got so angry," he said weakly, his eyes were dim and he was obviously tired.

I was even more relieved, he was tired but he chose to visit me here. I don't know if I really deserve you Thyro, because from what I see you are having a hard time with me. He came to me and held both of my hands and kissed them gently.

"Stop your bad thoughts, My Shasha, I know what you are thinking so stop, I love you, I won't get tired of loving you," he said while smiling and looking at my eyes.

Thyro loves me so much? Yeah I admitted to having a crush on him, and I like him even more because of the care, concern, love he does for me and I'm sure that this time I'm falling for him slowly, and they said that it's better to love a green flag than a red flag, and they're right.
