Davide kept looking at Avery, he didn't know what to say to her. He just stared at her eyes wondering why she derived pleasure from embarrassing him. There was nonreason why Avery would suddenly demand that he paid for the bills if not to embarrass him. She loved doing it. She loved seeing him crumble under her demands . She wanted to make him feel small compared to Noah.Davide didn't understand her. He only thought back to when they were children, when he had fallen for her and he couldn't help but ask himself; "what did i see in this woman?" He couldn't see the things he used to loved about her anymore, it was kike she had been wiped clean and the woman standing begore him was just a stranger, she was a stranger to him, he knew nothing about her nor did he know how to act around her.Hia eyes fell on the two people standing together, she waa leaning on Noah and he had his hand around her waist, it looked kike it was something theybhad planned beforehand, that they were going to em
It was a man from work. Davide recognized him as one of his colleagues, the ones who were very obedient to Mr Lee. Davide never had an opinion of them before, especially the one approaching him. They bever even exchanged more than two words between themselves but he was suddenly approaching Davide and he was not alone.Davide knew that with his presence, he was going to get another round of insults from Avery, another embarrassing scene and may even get laughed at by the passersby.Davide wanted to run away, he was looking everywhere for an escape but there was not an opening for him to take, he only had to stand still and suffer through the unfortunate event that he was going to face. Davide looked to his side and Avery was standing there just casually looking at him, waiting for him to say something about what they had been talking about. Her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were expectant, the questioning look on her face was apparent.Davide suddenly could not blame her for dema
Cassie's conscience wouldn't allow her just walk by without coming to Davide's rescue. From where she stood, she could see how hard davide was having everything, he looked to be very angry and also embarrassed. Cassie pitied him. Her eyes fell on Avery, she felt a rush of disgust in her. She didn't want to believe that her fellow woman could be so shameless and stupid. Cassie couldn't still believe that Avery was an educated woman because an educated woman shouldn't be acting like that. She had no atom of loyalty in her bones and even if they were going to get a divorce, the least she could do was give him even the littlest of respect but she didn't. She did not respect Davide, or their marriage. Davide didn't matter to her, she just used him because he was important, because he was kind."Fuck!" Cassie yelled.Her expensive, red bottom heels stomped the ground. She blamed herself for what Davide was going through, she believed if she hadn't wished to study in Paris, maybe her parent
Davide looked at this phone warily, ke knew Mr Lee with the sudden appearance of Mr Lee, it wouldn't favour him. He wondered what Mr Lee wanted from him. He had given him a fair share of embarrassment today, or was he not satisfied? Did he need more like a greedy sadist?Davide was reluctant about meeting with him but he couldn't just ignore his orders and he was also wondering what Mr Lee was doing at the office so late in the night. Still, his own duty was to appeear when called upon so whether he had questions or not about Mr Lee's life, he had to appear before him.However, Mr Lee wanted him to be at work in three minutes whereas, the hospital was hours away from the office. He didn't know the magic he would use to solve that case but he guessed that if he left now, he might be able to catch up.So he turned to Cassie, "I'll be leaving now, there are some things I need to do". With a kiss on her cheeks, he left
Davide was on his knees, looking at Mr Lee as he sat in his chair without saying a word. Silence grew between them. Davide couldn't guess the reason why Mr Lee wanted him in the office, he had come to believe that Mr Lee actually got off on punishing him. The pleasure probably shoots straight to the roof and if it's as strong as Davide suspected, it might even break through the roof.He knelt there, in front of the door, eyes pinned on Mr Lee and his thoughts wavering between running away or just continuing serving the punishment, waiting for whatever Mr Lee had to say."Quit," Mr Lee suddenly said out of the blue."I want you to quit, have you not come to realize that you do not belong here?"Davide wanted to laugh, but if he did then he would have a lot of explaining to do, he would have to tell Mr Lee where his cockiness was coming from, where the humor lied because the man would surely not
Zeta smiled as she saw Davide making his way over to him. She hadn't expected him to appear suddenly or even appear at all. She realized that what she had done before, when they had fought, had been irrational and she hoped that Davide would not hold it against her. She saw his calm smile and the emotions in his eyes and knew for certain that Davide cares deeply for her. It was in everything he does.He calmly walked over, with wide shoulders, visible biceps and triceps, clean haircut and beautiful eyes. Everything about Davide was perfect, from his head to his toes, he was worth a thousand stares.They didn't make any conversation when he stopped in front of her, she didn't move and neither did he. They both stood outside the car and just stared at each other.Davide had had a lot going on that it didn't feel like only a day had passed since they last spoke. A lot has happened, it seemed like it has been months to
Zeta looked at Davide suspiciously, there was really nothing to be suspicious of but it was different that he also did not lash out or walk away like he normally did, but instead, he brought his hand forward to take her own.She gave him her hand and a smile graced his face. Truthfully, the reason why her mood became sullen was because she was feeling a bit bad about the conversation they just had. She saw herself as being a good friend, providing solutions to the problem that Davide presented to her but he refused to take her advice, instead he was trying to understand the man in question, to see past his flaws and Zeta suddenly felt bad. She could also see past his flaws, now it just felt like she was such a bad person, the person who wanted Davide to fire him like she had no heart, just a dark space in her chest.That was the reason why her mood changed, she felt like a bad influence, a bad person. Meanwhile Davide was different, she also
Davide and Zeta sat together on the terrace, the soft evening breeze brushing against their faces. The atmosphere was calm, yet an unspoken tension lingered in the air as Zeta hesitated to open up about her past. Davide could sense her unease. He drew his chair closer as he said, "That pretty face isn't good for frowning, you'd only get wrinkles." A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and when Zeta's eyes met his, she chuckled. "It was an abusive relationship," Zeta finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "He just won't let go, and I've been living in fear of what he might do next." Davide's expression softened as he listened attentively. "I understand," he replied, "I was in a marriage like that once. It's not easy to break free from such toxicity." Zeta looked at him, "Yours with Avery was just something that could have been avoided. But you were in love." she took in a deep breath. "Yes," Davide confirmed, his gaze briefly drifting off into the distance as he reca
