Did things turn out worse or better?

I thought everything would be fine, God, I really have to stop keeping my hopes up for impossible type shit.

Mr Ryou and I are now in the elevator. My body is all tensed up again. I'm all confused on whether or not I should beg Mr Ryou that I should just stay in the office, or I should follow him and have another dramatic scene of me trying to murder someone. Because I definitely can't promise myself that I won't do anything to anyone.

The elevator bell dings and opens. We are now at the ground floor once again.

In such a short time, i feel so distanced from 'my average, boring life' just 2 damn days ago.

I looked over at Mr Ryou, who is apparently searching for a very beautiful woman that is going to look very pissed.

The expression on his shameless face reads out, 'I've been waiting for this type of drama to happen forEVER.'

I can't help but feel utterly disgusted by the fact that a literal bomb may go off any time now, and I'm the only one whose going to be affected, the literal person who is supposed to protect me from it all is having a great time watching from the sidelines.

I'm really fighting the urge to run to another continent and changing my whole identity.

"There she is!" He points as he walks at her direction, I clumsily follow. And I have to say, the looks much better with clothes on.

The lilac dress she wore matching with her purple bag, earrings and shoes. Made her look exceptionally beautiful.

I feel like I would be more mad if her cheated with someone uglier. Glad to see he has taste.

But that doesn't say I wouldn't try to murder him the moment we get alone.

"YOU!" She pointed and wanted to charge at me like a raging bull, luckily, there were two bodyguards and Aiden by her side to hold her back. She caused quite a ruckus and began to bring in more attention. People sure enough already started crowding due to the fact that she's a star, and now that 'star' is about to attack the same person who drew attention to herself half an hour ago.

"Hello Maria! I'm so happy that you visited." Mr Ryou says both enthusiastically and sarcastically.

"Ahh... Ryou, pleasure to be here." She grumbled.

"You seem to making quite a ruckus, so shall we head upstairs to my office?"

I looked over at him dumbfounded, and he gave me a look that says 'I'm paying you for this shut up'.

If we were still going to go up to his office, couldn't he just tell Bethany so send him to his office? I'm about to loose my Goddamn patience.

We all walked towards the elevator. I, Mr Ryou, Shithead, Miss Maria, and her two bodyguards.

We are definitely not fitting in that small ass elevator.

With Mr Ryou leading Miss Maria, her two bodyguards sticking to her like chewed gum. It remained just me and shithead. They all went into the elevator. Aiden immediately reading the situation tried to squeeze in, but one of the bodyguards just pushed him out.

Glad to see that he's been having a very deserving life afterwards.

"I...uhh, I'll just use the other elevato-" he falters.

"I don't feel as bad as I thought I would feel.." I say without thinking.

I'm not going to say I'm surprised by this comment. I could feel him slowly fading away from me, but I guess I didn't believe it would happen so fast.

"Ahh..." he says awkwardly, "good to know, good to know."

"I still feel pretty bad." I continue, "You said some really nasty things."

"I didn't mean them." He mumbles.

"You could've at least showed some remorse, even if it was fake." I croaked. "You know what, never mind.

I'm greatly suppressing the urge to kick your jewels —he immediately covers it up with both his hands in a frightened tone— but you're so very lucky that you're at my workplace, and not an abandoned ally way."

"I-"

"Save it." I start walking towards another free elevator. "Goodbye, I guess. I won't forget to tell my parents what happened." I say now facing my back on him.

I walk in and press the buttons. I look at the guilty expression on his face.

I can't help but tear up. Luckily I was the only one in the elevator.

"F*ck, Alesha get a grip." I mumble to myself. I look up trying to fight back the tears.

Shit my eyeliner's getting ruined. This shit is expensive!

Put those damn tears back in Alesha! I didn't bring extra and my makeup wipes are almost out!

The elevator bell dings, and I walk out.

I'm face to face to two massive doors, obstructing me from my new life.

I knock the door and wait.

"Come in." I hear Mr Ryou yell.

I fix myself up, brush invisible dirt of my clothes, take deep breath of perfumed air, and walk in.

Mr Ryou sitting breezingly on his office chair, smiling immediately as I walk in the office. Miss Maria glaring at me and murmuring under her breath, her two large bodyguards beside her.

"Hey Alesha, what took you so long?" He says weirdly happy.

"I-um, had to wait for the next elevator...sir." I nervously say. I glance over at Miss Maria and she greets me with a death look.

"What did you to my Aidy?" She asks in an annoyed and worried tone.

"I didn't do anything... m-ma'am." I did a slight bow before walking over to Mr Ryou and standing beside him.

Almost looking like I'm a bodyguard myself.

"Hmmph." She sneered, "Seems like you're showing me more respect than you did last night." She says sarcastically as she crosses her leg, giving her the impression of a beautiful-but-evil kind of villain.

I look over at Mr Ryou with a 'can you give me permission to talk shit' face, and he responds with a 'wait a moment, let her continue' look.

Then we both look at her, Mr Ryou smirking and I praying that she talks more shit, so I can put her in her place.

"Seems like you got a bit of a temper problem last night." She continues, "If you'd had listened to me and gone back home quietly, we wouldn't have been in this situation now would we?" She scoffs.

I can't help but think, is this bitch really asking for something?

Well I guess I can't do anything when she has two muscle heads by her side.

I take a deep breath and continue staring at her, smiling.

The one thing I am exceptionally great at.

This seems to piss her off. She immediately stands up and storms into my direction once again. I did not flinch whatsoever.

"YOU RUINED MY LIFE AND MY REPUTATION WITH MY FAMILY!" She suddenly starts yelling.

I am yet again, unfazed.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW IT GODDAMN FEELS TO COME INTO YOUR HOME WEARING ONLY UNDERWEAR? I LIVE IN F*CKING WINNERDAIL APARTMENT COMPLEX-

"That's a goddamn flex." I murmur.

Mr Ryou snorts, trying to hold unto his laugh.

Now the situation stars to seem kind of funny.

Miss Maria doesn't seem to notice this as she continues her tantrums.

"-PEOPLE WERE F*CKING STARING AT AIDY AND I, THEY TOOK VIDEOS, THEY TOOK VIDEOS RYOU! DADDY HAD TO SEND PEOPLE TO EVERY APARTMENT AND TELL THEM TO DELETE IT. DADDY ASLO HIRED PEOPLE TO DELETE IT OFF THE INTERNET BEFORE TOO MUCH DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE-"

"Maria can't you turn your volume down a notch." Mr Ryou now getting slightly annoyed by her screaming and crying.

"SHUT THE F*CK UP RYOU! I-" She suddenly stops. Her screaming and crying suddenly stops.

This made the whole room come into and uncomfortable silence.

"Wait- why is she in your office beside you anyway?" She suddenly realises.

"Oh.." Mr Ryou says in a delighted tone, "did I forget to tell you?"

She lets out a sarcastic snicker. "Tell me…what?"

"Oh-" Mr Ryou gives her direct eyes contact with a slight smirk. He leans closer to the chair. "She's mine."

Aiden Bursts through the door at that second. What kind of melodramatic moment was that?.

The room goes silent for seconds. Aiden walks awkwardly to stand beside Marian.

"WHAT??" She screams. Her screams now more dramatic and unbearable than the last. Aiden dramatically jumps. The whole office building could probably hear her screaming. "WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU MEAN BY 'SHE'S YOURS' RYOU?!"

"Exactly what I meant." Mr Ryou says unfazed.

"SHE HAS PUBLICLY HUMILIATED ME AND MY FAMILY NAME, NOW THAT I WANT DADDY TO PUNISH HER YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME SHES YOURS?"

"Of course." Mr Ryou agrees.

"THIS DISAPPOINTMENT OF A HUMAN, THIS DISASTER OF A PERSON- PEOPLE LIKE HER ARE THE SOLE REASON THE EARTH IS SLOWLY ROTTING, HER PARENTS ARE PROBABLY ASHAME-

"Hold. The f*ck. Up." I look at her and smile. I feel bloodlust running through my veins. Like I want to end her right here. Right now. Everyone else probably felt it too. Because it all went quiet. Both the bodyguards pulls her right back and stand firmly in front of her glaring at me in a threatening manner. They would have beaten me up if I wasn't with Mr Ryou.

"Okay!" Mr Ryou says enthusiastically. "You've upset my PA." He stops smiling and gives all of them a threatening glare. His bloodlust much more higher than mine. "Now. You have to go."
