5 5 Wait for Your Call

After dinner, Riku takes her home. "Thank you for sending me home." "No problem." They both said goodbyes.

She went inside of her apartment. She sighs. "Too many things are going on." She recalls what he said.

She shakes her head. "Let's not think about that." Her cellphone rings. "Hello?" Her face darkens. She ends the call and rush out.

She calls a taxi can and heads to Sunny Wedding. Once she got there, she sees a woman in an expensive red dress.

"Why are you here?" She glares at the woman. "My, that was quick." She stands up and walks to Aimee. "What's wrong visiting your place, my dear?"

"Visiting? When you trash my business!" "Aimee, dear." She reaches to touch her face but Aimee slaps her away. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands, Ms Mistress."

The woman glares at Aimee But remains calm. "You're supposed to call me 'Mother'." "I already have a mother. Why would I call you that? If even my mother is in her sick bed, I wouldn't dare to call you mother."

The woman clenches her hands. "My, my. Like mother and daughter." "I wonder how long you're going keep at it." "Humph." The woman left.

Aimee sighs and turns to her staffs. "I apologize. No need to hold back just because she's from a wealthy family or wearing expensive clothes." Aimee left and talks to the security guard.

"I'm sorry, Aimee." "It's okay. Are you okay?" The security guard was all beat up. "It's just a scratch, no worries." She sighs. "That's good."

The woman keeps coming to destroy Aimee's business. She have no where to turn to but to Riku, however; Aimee doesn't want him to get involved.

Aimee stays in the business to prep for the customers wedding details. And made copies.

...

Riku comes and visit her at her apartment but she's not home. Her landlady came out for a bit and notices him. "Aimee is not in." Riku turns around. "She won't come home for a couple days."

He whispers, "Is it her mom?" The landlady speaks up, "she calls me and said her dad's mistress is causing trouble at her workplace so she's staying at her workplace to catch up some work." "Thank you."

Riku rushes and head to her workplace. Once he got there, he sees papers everywhere. The computers are down. Everything is a mess.

He looks around and sees Aimee in her office, looking exhausted. He went into her office.

He knocks the door but she's too focus on the document.

He walks in as she stands up. She sees him in front of her. "Riku?" Suddenly she feels dizzy, she falls but he catches her. "Aimee."

Riku carriers her to the sofa. He gently stroke her face. He notices her office is a mess. He knits his brows.

...

Aimee opens her eyes and sees Riku. (Riku..) She finally get her senses back and gets off of his lap. "Riku!" He smiles.

"Feel better?" "Eh? Ah. Yes." He looks around. "What happen here?" "Umm. That." She's trying to find excuse, but she couldn't think any.

He sighs. "Aimee. It's okay to rely on me." "But..." "What is it?" "If I keep relying on you, wouldn't be troublesome?" "Not at all." She looks at Riku.

She sighs. "You win." (Looking at him is just like looking a puppy.) "My dad's mistress came here everyday just to sabotage my work and my staffs." She sighs again.

"Does your father knows?" "....I'm an illegitimate child. He wouldn't care if she comes here." "Aimee." "Besides I don't see him as my father. Everything I did is from my hard work."

Riku spoke up. "Why not take my offer?" "Your offer?" "Marrying me." "Riku." "Marrying me and she wouldn't come here bother you." "I told you marriage isn't a game. It's a serious matter." "You want her to ruin yours and your staffs' career?"

She bit her bottom lip. He stands up and grabs both of her hands. "Aimee, I know your career and your mother are the most important in your life. I can find a reliable doctor to cure your mother. You can use me all you want. That woman will face consequences what she did to you and your mother. All I want is your heart and your love. Please think about it. I'll wait for your call." Riku left the office and Sunny Wedding.
