Chapter 102 - Chapter 101

((( CLAIRE )))

I thrashed my arm free and sneered at him.  

How dare you Zhio?!

"Yes I do,"

I threw the packed suits in his face and the sheathed lunchbox at his feet. Some of the buttery sauce spilled through and stained his neatly polished shoes.

Did it hurt? Did it hurt like how I was hurting?

"There. Bye Zhio," I mumbled.

"And thanks Zhion for everything…I was happy to have met him. Just tell him to take care."  

I turned from him and ran away towards Deo.  

"Let's go back,"

I asked him while he stood wide-eyed at everything that has occurred.  

My tears had unpleasantly started to fall and I hated myself for it.

Why was I crying?  

"Miss Claire…"

"Let's go back…"

All the hope I felt before has evaporated quickly. I resumed walking and Deo too followed silently.

(ZHIO)

"And thanks Zhion for everything…I was happy to have met him. Just tell him to take care."

I froze.

Not because she threw a heavy lunchbox at my feet or at the big paper bag that hit my face. It was because of the tears that fell abundantly down her cheeks.

I want to call her, stop her.  

But for what?

"Clean these up and take it back to me at the plane," I ordered.

The men took the mess off my shoes and retrieved the wrapped things that had fallen to the ground.  

I turned back to the waiting plane and didn't gaze back at Claire anymore. I'm afraid that if I stop her I'd…

I sighed heavily as I sat at the cushion seat.

"Master Zhio," my valet handed me the two bags.

"Should we commence the flight?"

I ignore him as I unwrapped the contents of the paper bags.  

One has the suits I let her borrow.

And the other, a hot lunchbox.

"Call Deo," I answered.

(DEO)

I shrugged at the drama that was happening between the two. Claire was crying and her feet has blistered from running nonchalantly earlier. Her knee has also been wounded.  

While Zhio…  

He's a coward and it was certainly his gutlessness that caused their ruptured relationship.
