Chapter 198 - I Don't Have Any Home.

Lisa got a fever for the next two days, and she was taken care of by Harry in his penthouse. Henry, who got the news later, immediately went there and took care of her when Harry goes to work.

"How are you feeling?" Henry asked, and Lisa shakes her head. "I feel like a bad person."

Henry chuckle and pats on her hands, "Why don't you just tell him how you truly love him? He was an idiot. I'm sure that, but I think he will not be idiot enough to choose his new girlfriend over you, right?"

Lisa sighs. "I don't know, Henry..I'm afraid. What if he doesn't feel the same way as me? I make the situation worse, and Sophie went to find him yesterday." She averts her eyes to the outside of the window before she continues again. "They fight. And I could hear it clearly." She wipes her tears.

"She tells him that I had a feeling for him, and he keeps denying it. He scolds her for making me like this. But the truth is..it was me who ruin their relationship. I asked him to break up with her, and he did! I'm so bad..I'm a bad person." She starts to sobbing, and Henry pulls her into his embrace.

"Come on..you do it because you love him. And he did it too because he values you more than anything in this world. Believe me. One day, he will realize this."

No one knows that someone has heard their conversation, and she leaves the penthouse to go and find that girl named Sophie. Because of the misunderstand and fight between her and Harry, Sophie decides to move out of the apartment. She had to find another place to stay.

She was so much affected after break up with Harry. She thought Harry love her, and she even keeps shutting her eyes every time Lisa clinging to him like a baby. What kind of best friend that sleeps together??

Before she moves out, she receives a visit from an unknown guest. What that guest tells her is to make her believe that she still has hopes with Harry. She knew that she still love Harry, and she will do whatever to get him back.

The only problem that she has to drive away is the girl who acts like a fungus to his side. Now that she knew Harry break up with her is also because of that fungus, she starts to have grudge toward that fungus.

…

Ping!

A new email pops up at Lisa's desktop, and she tilts her head a little. Open the content, she wants to scream, but she immediately covers her mouth. She got an interview invitation for NASA scientist selection that will be held two days from now on.

She wants to go to Harry's office but then suddenly, Victoria enters her room. "Hi, Lis..am I interrupting you?" She asked when she saw Lisa was like wants to going somewhere.

"Uh..hehe.." She scratches her head a little and shakes her head. "No..I just..want to take this file." She took a file from the side table and put it down before she went to the couch.

"What's bring you here, grandma? Are you not feeling well?" She helps the old lady to sit down and took out her set of a stethoscope.

"Oh, don't worry. I was just a bit tired. You know.. With Raymond's condition. I was worried." She waves her hands to her, and Lisa still checks on her condition anyway. She was very much respecting this old lady and always thought her as her own grandma.

Well, technically, she doesn't have any real family except for her adoptive parents and the twins family who treat her like a real daughter. All of them always said that she will end-up marrying Harry, and she never reject that idea too. She very much like it.

"You should get some rest, grandma..why don't you take a few days vacation and relax? I think Mr. James can handle most of the work when you're not here."

"Ah~ that son of mine, I can't trust him." She sighs, and Lisa softly laugh.

"What about you? Any news from Harry?" She continues and caresses on Lisa's hand.

"Huh? News?" She tilts her head. What news? Is there anything that she misses out?

"The news of when you're both will be getting married?" Lisa gulped. Yep, everyone thinking that they're in a relationship while actually, Harry still hasn't' realize it yet.

Smiling, she said. "Well, we don't want to rush things."

Victoria also smiles back at her. "Don't make me wait too long." and Lisa could only giggle.

..

Two days passed in a blink of eyes, and she forgot to tell Harry that she will be going to the interview venue. It was her dream to be one of NASA's teams, and today is her chance to make it a reality.

She waited until her turn, and when she was entering the room, there are five interviewers, and she could feel one intense gaze from the last interviewer. To not pressure her body to the nervous state, she ignores that gaze and inhales before she was answering one by one question that has been asked to her.

The interview went long, and finally! After a stringent hell filtering and a series of questions, she got in. By the time she back homes, it's already past eleven o'clock.

Only then she remembers that she wants to tell Harry. She took her handbag and went to the opposite building. Skipping happily and open the door with her spare key.

They both have a spare key to each other house. Harry told her that it was easy for them if anything happens, and he can come in and out as he likes too.

She looks around the spacious living room and its quite dark, she sighs and thinks that maybe Harry already fell asleep. He seems busy today, and she thought of checking him in his bedroom. Their bedroom, since she was always staying here and sleep at the same bed as him.

The moment her hand grips the doorknob, she faintly heard a moaning sound and a grunting sound from the inside. Her heart feels like its dropping to the ground again, she slumps in front of the door, her tears dripping down like a broken dam but no single sound she let it out.

The moaning sound becomes clear to her ears, and she confirmed it was Sophie's voice as she keeps saying for Harry to pounce her harder. It's been two minutes; she's been slumping on the floor with her tears and heartbroken down for a second time.

She forcibly moves her arm, and she dug her own arm using her fingernails. Only the pain can make her mind forgetting the hurt feeling inside her heart and move her body to get out of the house.

She hoarsely cries out loud when she runs out of the house and hit the road without any direction to go. Her arm was already bleeding because she was hurting herself to move her body.

The cars passing by keep honking at her. While the bystander was mocking at her crying face, and some of them even try to help her. Still, she ignores all of them, pushes them away, and staggeringly walks without any place to go.

She keeps wandering until she bumps with someone who was holding a cup of drink in his hand, and the drink spill to him and her shirt.

"I'm sorry," She murmurs and standing up, trying to leave that roadside.

"You're okay Be-"

"I'm okay. You guys go first." The man said, and he immediately grabs Lisa's arm. He was stopping her from going away.

"You're okay?" He asked and looked at her smeared mascara, wet cheeks, red nose, and bloodshot eyes. He then looks at her arm, which still bleeds a bit, and he scrunched his eyebrow.

Lisa shakes her head and shoves his hand away from her, "Hey, wait.." Brian still chasing her and stop her in the middle of the road.

"My house is just nearby. You should change your clothes before I send you home, okay? Your arm is bleeding too." He said concerning, and Lisa once again shakes her head.

"I don't have any home."

"That's fine. You can stay at my home. Let's go." He grabs her arm and hails a taxi before they get inside it and Lisa like a puppet without soul following the man who she doesn't even know to go to his home.
