Chapter 34 - A Week

"What are you smiling about?" Ayami asked after seeing the smile on Kayden's face.

"I just remembered a funny incident. Pfft." He stifled a laugh after he finished speaking. Ayami was curious about that incident that made him look like a crazy man. "Tell me."

"It's not really funny for you." Kayden said truthfully. Not really caring about whether it was funny for her or not, Ayami beckoned him to tell her.

"Alright. I'll tell you. When I heard you fainted last week, I immediately went to the hospital you were sent to. Then I saw…" Kayden trailed off, keeping Ayami in suspense.

Ugh, just tell me already. Ayami thought and rolled her eyes.

"…I saw your family threatening the doctor. You should've seen the scene with your own eyes. Your family was making a mess in the reception desks, while threatening the employees. That went on for a week. Each time a day went by, their threats started to get more and more serious. I was just thinking it was funny that the doctors were trying out every single method to wake you up." I also took a small part in it too. Kayden added in his mind. 

"That's it?" It was not really funny. Maybe the expression of the doctors as they panicked to wake her up was funny, but sadly she didn't get to see it. 

Then suddenly, as she mulled over his story, she suddenly realized something. Wait, what?? Last week?

She turned her head and looked at Kayden with a serious expression. "How long have I been out?"

"A week." Kayden replied nonchalantly and continued speaking while Ayami was shocked. "Actually, I was surprised that you fainted during Mr. Wang's party after I left. I heard that you fainted from shock. Rumors says that your friend stole your fiance and betrayed you."

It felt like it was only an hour, but a week has already passed.

"What happened after I passed out?" Kayden shook his head and shrugged his shoulders at her question. "I don't really know, you should ask your sister, she knows the full details. But I heard your father cursing the CEO of Gold Star Enterprise. I also heard that your engagement with the CEO was broken-"

"What? Why!?" Ayami exclaimed. She knew that someday their engagement would be broken, but this fast?

She wasn't yet finished in her plan. Her plan was simple. Ayami would break off their friendship and while she was at it, she would tarnish Cole's reputation by making people misunderstand him. Then, after everything calms down, Ayami would befriend Yanna again. 

It seems like that plan failed.

"I don't really know the reason why. Ask your family." Ayami woke up from her stupor when Kayden spoke again. He then continued. "So anyways, I heard your ex-fiance was being punished and the board directors were pressuring him. Oh right, the stocks of the company also went down, although only by a little bit."

"Turn on the news." Kayden did as she ordered and started peeling an apple like an expert after he turned the television on and put it on a business news.

There was nothing notable on the news. She didn't see any news about the Gold Star Enterprise taking damage. If what Kayden said is true, then it won't be on the news.

"Switch the channels." With a bored look on her face she once again ordered Kayden as if he was her servant.

He stopped peeling the apples and did what she ordered. Just for today. Kayden thought and switched the channels randomly.

Her thoughts wandered as she stared at the television, not paying attention. 

'If Cole was under punishment, then what is Yanna doing right now?' Ayana thought. It was weird that there was no news about her.

It must the heavens favoring them again. Ayami let out a sigh. It felt like they had a cheat on them.

Suddenly, a news flash suddenly appeared on the television

["This just in, A sudden landslide occured on Mt. Starlite. There were no casualties but 8 were reported to be injured and 6 are reported to be missing as of now."]

The name Mt. Starlite caught her eye. It was a place she would never forget as it was the place where she died. 

Her face darkened and contorted into a frown as she remembered what happened. 

Seeing the obvious dampening of the mood, Kayden opened his mouth.

"Here." Ayami turned her head towards Kayden and saw a plate of neatly cut bunny apples on his hand. He was holding a bunny apple on his other hand. 

Kayden handed it to her. It was close to Ayami's mouth, so she just took it using her mouth. 

Kayden widened his eyes in surprise as he didn't expect that kind of action while Ayami was chewing the apple inside of her mouth with a smile on her face.

Delicious and sweet~

"Ahh~" Ayami opened her mouth again expecting another apple to come to her. Kayden had no choice but to feed her the apple again.

Ayami continued to eat while Kayden fed her bunny apples. 

"…" Kayden kept quiet as he continued to feed her. 

Does she not realize it? He thought as the gesture he was doing was intimate especially they were opposite sex. It would have been fine if it was a family or lover.

Oh well, maybe her arms were just to weak to hold anything right now.. That was the conclusion he came to.
