Chapter 4 - Meeting Again

Cole Filburn, the CEO of Gold Star Enterprise, the top enterprise in the city and the young master of the Filburn household, one of the prestigious family in the country.

He was known as a cold and ruthless man that showed no mercy to anyone.

Cole was one of the top in the business world. He had a title 'Emperor of the Business World' due to his talents and ways he managed his business. His name was enough to instill fear onto anyone.

He was an ideal man, handsome and perfect. But the only problem was he was cold and emotionless.

Many girls sought after him and have tried to slept with him, but no one had ever succeed. He never approached a woman and would be disgusted by them, which made people think that he likes males.

News and rumours started to spread, pressured by his family, with no choice left, Cole had to pick a fiancee from one of the prestigious family.

And the person he picked was the eldest daughter of the Gardner Family, Ayami.

Everything was smooth sailing and they were supposed to get married when Ayami graduated and completed her studies, but then…

A sly fox appeared and stole the happy ending that she wanted.

If only that fox didn't appear!

But even so, that sly fox wasn't the only one at fault, but also that stupid jerk that only thinks with his bottom.

When they were about to be wed, that fox suddenly made a dramatic entrance and stopped the wedding, of course, that jerk also cooperated.

The humiliation she felt at that time!

She just wanted to grab her gun and shot the two of them.

How thankful she didn't get married to that jerk!

A jerk and a vixen, the two of them certainly match each other.

And when she demanded an explanation to the both of them, they said it was fate and true love.

Fate?

True love?

What are you, characters in a fairy tale?

I am the evil witch who forcefully separates the main characters?

Don't make me laugh!

If she really was the evil witch, then she had no choice but to play that role.

Scheme like a villainess, do bad things, threaten, abusing her position, that was just an example of what she had done.

In the end, the evil witch was punished and the main couple live happily ever after, like most endings in a fairy tale.

But the most annoying thing was, he had to involve her family and her loved ones. Ayami had to watch them die in front of her eyes one by one.

Of course, she knew she did many evil things, but was there even a need to involve an outsider?

"Ahhhh! Damn you all!" Ayami screamed under the blankets. She just wanted to let out all the anger and injustice she felt.

She punched the poor pillow until she was satisfied. After punching the pillow for a while, she got tired.

Then as she lay down on her bed, she heard a knock on the door.

"Young Miss, it's time to prepare." Marie said as soon as she opened the door, behind her was three maids following her.

"Prepare for what?" Ayami asked, what did she need to prepare for?

"Did you forget? You're having a lunch date with Young Master Cole today." Marie said excitedly.

"Aren't you lucky, young miss? Many have dreamed to meet the CEO, yet you can meet him anytime. What's more, you're going to have a lunch date with him!" A maid said as she dreamily imagined it.

Lucky your face!

Ayami's lips twitched. She didn't really want to have dinner with that jerk.

They started preparing her clothes to wear and accessories.

After a while, they finished her make-over. A beautiful female appeared in front of the mirror.

There really wasn't much change from her appearance. Just a light make-up and a dress was enough.

Ayami left her room with a foul mood. She didn't want to go.

Her footsteps were heavy as she stepped inside the car. There was no one to see her off as everyone was busy, except for a few servants.

***

Inside the luxurious restaurant, there sat Ayami, waiting for the oh-so important person who thinks people needs to wait for him first.

I'm hungry!

She tapped the table impatiently as she waited. After an hour of waiting, it seems that person forgot they were having lunch.

So Ayami just ordered some food for her lunch. It was also a good thing as she didn't know how to face him at the moment.

Ayami might strangle him to death the moment she sees him…

Lunch was serve after waiting for a few minutes. Just as she was about to eat, that person arrived.

Ayami suddenly froze when she heard that person's voice. She felt like someone splashed a cold bucket of water with ice on her.

"Impatient, aren't we?" The voice coldly said. It was so cold that it was enough to freeze the whole place.

"Ah, dang it. Forgot my jacket." Ayami mumbled to herself. Her body was slightly shaking.

She should have brought her jacket as everytime she met this guy in the past, there was a blizzard.

"What was that?" The ice cooler in front of her spoke.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about the weather. I saw the weather forecast today, it said it will sn— I mean, rain." Ayami said an excuse.

Although she may look compose, inside her heart was shaking in anxiety. Her heart was beating so fast in panic.

Her hands were trembling under the table, she felt she was sitting on a thorn.

Ever since he arrived, Ayami never once look straight into his eyes.

The trauma of facing the person she feared the most, the anxiety and fear was instilled in her heart.

He was her biggest fear, as he was the one who made her life like hell.

The cold look he gave that day made her shiver. But she have to make her resolve firm. Even if she fear him today, that doesn't the same will happen tomorrow.

So Ayami decided, that the first thing she will do is overcome her trauma.
