CHAPTER 27 ~~
TRISTAN’S POV
I got to Shanghai and rushed down to the Tiffany’s resident just like I was told and luckily she was about to leave her building with her boyfriend. I took some shots of them then head back to the office but surprisingly, Layla was there waiting for me.
“Layla what are you doing here?” I asked calmly with my eyes fixed on my wristwatch.
“I’ve missed you so much Tristan. I couldn’t help it but wait here when I heard Max telling one of your colleagues you will be coming back today” She said slowly and I looked at her.
“Layla, why do you keep doing this to yourself. I clearly told you, I have a girlfriend so what strings are you trying to pull here. Coming here whenever you wish isn’t going to change anything, I don’t feel anything for you and that’s a fact. I never wished to say this to you in a cold way but if you have to keep doing this then you’ve left me with no choice” I said coldly and she embr@ced me out of the blue.
“Tristan, please don’t say such things to me. We’ve known each other for decades, why would you choose her over me” Layla sobbed grabbing me ti-ght and I shoved her off.
“Don’t be like this Layla and I would appreciate it if you don’t do this again. If anyone sees us like this, that would create a bit of misun-derstanding and you know that’s not good for either of us. You should get going now” I said politely then turned around to leave but Layla ran to my front and for-ced her li-ps on mine.
I je-rked her off immediately.
“What the hell did you just do” I yelled and she lic-ked her li-ps seductively with a wide smile on her li-ps.
“One of my biggest dreams have been accomplished. Tristan we can’t end things like this. Please give us a chance, I promise to make you happy. Just please give me an opportunity to make us happy” Layla pleaded holding my hands.
“Why would you beg for a guy’s love? This kind of life isn’t for you Layla and no matter what you say to me, we can never be compatible so drop this” I said seriously then walked away.
I can’t believe she actually did that. I said angrily in my head as I wiped my li-ps with the back of my palm.
Wait a minute, Tristan. Layla wouldn’t just ki-ss me out of the blue, I’m pretty sure something’s up her sleeve. I uttered in my head then turned around to have a glance at her.
Her face was fixed on her phone with a malicious smile on her li-ps.
Why the hell is she smiling like that? I questioned and just then Deena’s call came in.
“Yes Deena, I’m sorry I haven’t called. I just got to the office and I was thinking you might probably be resting and that’s why I didn’t call. How was the test?” I asked with a smile over the phone and I slightly heard her sniffing.
“Deena is everything ok? Were you crying?” I asked curiously.
“Where are you right now?” She asked waving my question.
“I’m at the office. Is everything okay?” I asked curiously.
“Who are you with?” She asked and I looked at Layla.
Her questions sounds very sen-sitive, like she’s been watching me. Does Deena know I met with Layla? I questioned in my head and Layla stared at me with a sm-irk.
“I just met with Layla, I had no idea she was here. She said she was waiting for me” I said and I could hear her exhale nervously.
“What’s your relationship with Layla?” Deena asked and I sli-pped my hand into my pocket.
“What are you even saying Deena? Where are all this questions coming? You sounded like you were sobbing earlier as well” I said calmly.
“You’re not answering my question”
“Layla and I were just clas-smates in highschool and our relationship isn’t even a close one” I explained.
“What kind of clas-smate visits you at the office like she’s your girlfriend or wife. I find it very uncomfortable that you’re still keeping her around. You should let her know her place, what would others think if they find my cousin hanging around with my boyfriend” Deena blurted seriously and my eyes went wide open in shock.
“Layla’s your cousin?” I asked curiously.
“Good night Tristan, I have to get some rest now. It’s been a hectic day” Deena said calmly.
“Alright my love, have a good night rest and don’t forget to close the windows so you don’t catch a cold and have a look at what Mrs Sandy brou-ght for you, I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen it yet” I said softly.
“A lady dropped by about an hour ago. It didn’t cross my mind to have a look at what she brou-ght because my folks were around. Anyways have a good night rest and restrain from letting Layla stick around” Deena said with jealousy written in her voice.
“I will see to that my love, byebye” I said grinning widely and she hung up.
Layla and Deena are cousins? Layla Gu, Deena Gu how come I didn’t notice that? How could I be so dense about this and it was so obvious that the both of them were in same team when we were in highschool. I gasped in my head.
I think Deena finds Layla fishy so I shouldn’t keep her around. Layla crossed the line as well, I shouldn’t be in touch with her so what happened here today wouldn’t repeat itself. I said in my head seriously and just then Max ran to me.
“Tristan you’ve been here all along? I’ve been waiting for you. Let’s go, I think you got some nice shots” Max said with a smile.
“It’s my job so it’s obvious that I have to do a good work” I br@gged and he tapped my shoulders as we walked to the elevator.
“Let’s drop by at the receptionist table. I have a complaint to make” I said seriously.
LAYLA’S POV
I was on my way driving back home when Deena’s text appeared on my phone and a wide smile appeared on my li-ps as well.
“Your break up is the only thing, I’m expecting so Tristan will look at me. I can’t back down now, I’ve been into him for years” I uttered with a wide smile as I packed at the side of the road.
“Let’s see, what she’s got to say. She’s probably crying her eyes out right now” I sneered.
I opened the text.
~ Layla, I can’t believe Tristan has been lying to me. If the both of you were in a relationship then why did he ask me out? There’s no way, I would continue this relationship regardless of how much I feel for him. How could he betray me this way ~ I read Deena’s text and I felt so much joy flow throu-ghmy body.
“Now you’re acting like the naive Deena I know” I said smiling widely and just then another text came in.
“She still has more to say” I smi-rked then scrolled to the recent text.
~ I guess that was what you were expecting me to say but too bad, I’m done with your tricks. What were you thinking when you walked up to my dad and tell him trash about Tristan? I guess that plan failed as well because all thanks to your schemes, Dad finally accepted Tristan as my boyfriend. Don’t make it any ha-rd on yourself and move on, don’t even think about fighting over Tristan with me. It’s a battle you can’t win. I’m only been nice to you because you’re my cousin, let’s not ruin things for each other and keep our relationship that way. Stop getting in my way and I won’t get in yours ~
“Ahhhh!” I screamed angrily after reading her text.
“Deena who do you think you are to threaten me?” I Gr0-ned then dialed Tristan’s number but it wasn’t reaching.
I tried dialing Max’s number but it wasn’t reaching as well and swiftly I got a text from Tristan.
~ Don’t bother calling me, I’ve made our relationship clear to you so don’t even think about crossing the line again. I won’t let it slide like I did earlier ~ Tristan threatened throu-ghhis text and hot tears roll down my cheeks.
“Tristan who the hell do you think you are as well? Do you think you’re the only one handsome man we have in China? How can you toy with a girl’s feelings like this? Don’t you have any conscience” I screamed with tears rolling down my cheeks.
I started my car and drove off to a bar.
“Get me your strongest wine” I said seriously as I sat next to the counter.
~~ “You’re racer, you can’t afford to hurt your legs. You should be careful when coming down the stairs. It’s dangerous to stump down like that” Tristan said with a blank expression. ~~
I had flashbacks on how sweet Tristan used to be when we were in highschool. I couldn’t help it but sob even more.
“Everything was perfect then, Tristan cared about me. He even does my homework if I beg him to, if all that wasn’t love then what was it? I thought he felt something special for me. How on earth did he manage to forget all about that in one go” I muttered out in tears as I gulp down the glas-s of wine in one go.
“You should take that slowly, you might get excessively drunk if you put up with that” Evan said as he joinee out of the blue.
“What are you doing here? How on earth did you get here?” I asked curiously and he smiled then looked at the bartender.
“Get me a glas-s of this please” He ordered and I smiled.
“Are you here to laugh at me for being such a fool for years” I said lowly with my face down.
“There’s nothing wrong with been in love, you just didn’t realize he isn’t the one for you early” Evan said calmly and I looked at him.
“Why are you always here for me?” I asked calmly.
“Because I care about you and I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happens to you. What were you thinking when driving, your speed was invincible. I couldn’t help it but rush down here after seeing that. Are you sure you’re ok now?” Evan asked and I nodded negatively.
“He played with my feelings. I’ve loved him for years and he has never considered what I felt for him, how cruel of him” I said sobbing and Evan grabbed me into his embr@ce.
“It’s over now so let’s get over it and move on. You can’t keep wasting your time on him” Evan said and I broke the hu-g and ki-ssed him on the li-ps.
“Don’t be nice to me” I said and stood up from my seat.
Evan grabbed my hand and leaned forward, he ki-ssed me softly on the li-ps.
“Stop toying with my feelings as well” He said looking straight into my eyes.
