Charles.

The rich laughter filled the entire room, empty bottles of expensive wines on the table. It was a lot, a reality that I couldn't escape from because I built myself for this, and more.

The top tier treatments, the privilages, all came because I had been hard on myself but now I had been asking myself if any of the hardship meant anything. Or it was just there, a way to remind myself that I had truly come this far. "What are you thinking of, Mr. Rafe?" The state minister asked.

To the world and everyone else, I was Mr. Rafe, but to Riley, I was Mr. Charles, her Charles. "Just work." I smiled.

"That is rude, you know." His tone came out as a joke, but it was more than that. He hated my guts, as much as he tried to hide it. "We are having a toast here."

That was when I had noticed their half filled cups, unlike mine that was still the way it has been. I nodded my head, picking up my glass and I waited for the toast. "To more life, more contracts." The glasses clicked together.

    Riley.His eyes, they were on me as we walked up the tons of stairs. I felt it because he was behind me, even when he had taken a deep breath. Wearing something as flimsy as this? I had no idea what had conceirge me into wearing it.When the fuck would we get to the floor? I almost hissed as the another stairs came to view and I realized that I hadn't gotten to my floor. "Did you always ave to walk this much?" Charles asked behind me. It was clear that he was also tired.I shook my head no. "The elevator was out of service this evening, so it will take them a day or two as they said to get it back running." I pratically read the apartment WeChat conversation to him.I had to scold myself for giving out that much, a simple 'The elevator was out of service' would have been okay, "That sucks really. They should do fast and get it running."Rolling my eyes at his words, I bit my lips. He doesn't even know how much it was killing me that I had to walk this far twice, if I had the money, I

    Riley.'Pick the phone please.''Don't let her words get to you, Riley.''I am sorry on her behalf.''She is just a child, Riley. She wasn't sure of what she was saying.'And many more annoying messages from Charles but the particular one that he was trying to tell me that Zelia was child made me more angry. So instead, I didn't even look at my phone.Not even when I got to work late and he wasn't there, not even when he didn't call me or the office line to let me know that he was going to be late. Facing him was something that I wasn't sure I could easily do.But then again, I was the one that was offended and hurt. So he should be the one feeling guilty for himself and his daughter. I gulped down the last coffee on the table, making it four cups that I had drank since I made it to work.Last night, I had to stay awake to do some work, putting some files together because I couldn't sleep. Putting my head on the pillow meant reminding myself of how Zelia constantly reminded me of how

    Charles.The celebratory lunch ended just so bad, it went in different direction as I had wanted it. "I told you to be nice to her, Zelia." I groaned out.Zelia sagged down her shoulders, justifying her actions. "I can't be nice to her dad. She wants to get back at me? Because Noah chose me over her?" She laughed, dryly if I must add.I dropped my top suit on the couch, letting out a deep sigh. "That is not it." I breathed. "Even if Noah chose you over her, It wouldn't take you more than an hour to have been nice to her. See how she walked out of there, so hurt." I recalled.The haunting face of Riley when she left the private dining was eating me up, I had promised her that it was going to be all fine yet, this was what she got back. I saw the tears in her eyes, the betrayal showing clearly. "And honestly, even if Noah had chosen you, you should have least be soft to her, you won already. She is also a human and once your friend.""It doesn't kill to be human." I scolded. For the fir

    　　Riley.　　"It is nice meeting, Miss Riley." Noah extended his hand for a shake but I ignored, pulling a seat for myself. I saw him and ignored him, he was going to feel how it was to be unseen.　　I knew how rude I was just being by ignoring his hand for the shake, but to hell with that, I wasn't going to touch the hand of an enemy. "Congratulations Charles. Zee told me of our new achievement." Noah bursted as if he was the one that had done everything.　　I had to hold myself back from rolling my eyes as his words. "Indeed, it is an achievement. After how many years, I managed to pull this one in." Charles laughed, sitting by my side.　　I moved a bit, giving us the perfect distance. I saw Zelia's eyes lingering on us for a minutes before she turned away. "I am so proud of you, daddy. You are making a name for us."　　At least, he was her father and he owned everything. For Noah, I don't get why he was so happy and I don't even know why I can't seem to trust this happiness of his. The m
