766 Decision
After the employee left, Andrew grumpily crashed on his chair. "How can she not come to take the cheque? I mean we were working together right? Isn't it right for her to come personally and close the deal?"
Taking out a whiskey bottle from the lower cabinet of his desk, he added, "So she is not going to see me ever again? She is just gonna give up everything that we have? So she wants us to just forget about the feelings we harbor for each other? She wants me to completely forget the only woman I have ever loved?"
Tossing the bottle cap away, Andrew started gulping down the neat whiskey straight from the bottle. Only he knew how tough it had been for him all these days. The more he tried to forget her, he ended up missing her even more and when he thought about her, the feeling of losing her forever enveloped his heart making him feel miserable and awful.
He had been giving himself a teeny tiny hope of getting a chance to see and talk to her when she comes over to collect the cheque but now when his hope had shattered into tiny pieces, he felt helpless and heartbroken all over again.
Michael sighed and snatched the bottle from his hand. "Okay, your heart is already in trouble now don't torture you liver like this."
Closing the bottle, he asked, "Do you think getting drunk is the solution to this problem? This will make things worse Andrew."
"What else can I do? The two most important women in my life don't want me to be a part of their life. In fact, they don't even want to see me or talk to me, how am I supposed to react?" Andrew snapped.
"So what makes you think that drinking is the only option? You need to make things right Andrew, you need to make a decision today." Pausing for a while, he continued, "Do you want to make things right or you want to support a very unreasonable man."
"I—"
Cutting him off, Michael said, "Listen to me first, I did a little research about the man whom Pulos has been hiding in his mansion. He goes by the name Lawrence and he is Mo Zixin's second uncle. He is a very man who had been disowned by the Mo family after he attacked Zixin's father a few years back. Since then Zixin has been trying to take Lawrence down and he had almost succeeded but Pulos saved that man and brought him over."
Cutting him off she chuckled, "Ahh yes, because you thought I had a hidden special boyfriend."
Pinching her cheeks, he sighed, "You will never stop teasing me won't you?"
"How can I ever forget that priceless look in your face?" Kathy chuckled.

FLASHBACK
THREE MONTHS AGO.
Country S airport.
"Liang what happened? You seem very disturbed," Kathy inquired. They had arrived at the airport half an hour ago and were waiting for their flight. Liang had been exceptionally quiet and also looked a little pissed.
"Nothing," he answered. How could he be okay when the woman he loved was taking him to pay a visit to her so called secret lover?
"Look, I know this whole trip is a bit rushed but I really want to your meet the most special person in my life and–"
Cutting her off, he frowned, "Alright, I am going with you right? So can you please stop praising that special someone? It's really very irritating."
Kathy raised her brows and inquired, "And how is that irritating?"
