05. Love or Hate

10:01 PM. The Jung Hotel's.

The two gender-different human beings were counted for about five minutes just standing on a hotel balcony with a distance not too close and also the position of the body did not look at each other.

A glass containing liquid wine drink each they hold and drink.

"Don't misunderstand me. I want to accompany you here because you are an important investor that I must serve well. It's about business and it has nothing to do with personal matters" Laurine said breaking her silence as she poured wine back from the bottle into her and Xavier's glasses.

"Is that how you greeted me after all this time we didn't meet? You're so rude, Miss"

"Then do you think we should embrace to vent the longing? Come onl. I'm sure you won't be hugging people you hate" either"

That sounds like insinuation and Xavier agrees to what Laurine said. Xavier sipped a glass of wine at once and then kept it on top of the balcony walls in a rough manner. It made Laurine smile faintly as she felt she had managed to provoke Xavier's emotions at the beginning of their conversation.

Xavier still loves Lauren. But, Xavier also won't be that easy forgetting the painful thing that Laurine did to him just yet. Lauren knew that very well.

Each of their egos is so high. Not good for each other. Hopefully their meeting for the first time in the last 5 years will also end badly as before. Oh naw. It would only further complicate things if it really happened.

The night grew late and the two fell silent with their own thoughts. Whether it's a good memory or a bad memory in the past. The awkwardness filled the atmosphere again. Do not forget the wind that blows strong. The air felt very cold as time went on.

Laurine's daydream is thrown when she finds a black suit belonging to Xavier that suddenly draped on her shoulder. Needless to say, Xavier did something simple but sweet to Laurine. Attaching her black suit to slightly warm the body of Laurine who was wearing a black sleeveless dress.

At first Laurine refuses and is about to take off Xavier's black suit. However, Xavier put it back on Laurine's shoulder. In a few moments their views met again in a short distance. Until finally Laurine who first turned her eyes in the other direction.

"Don't refuse and don't misunderstand. I'm not paying attention. But, I just don't like the model of your clothes that disturbs my vision" Xavier sighed and returned to his original position.

Laurine rolled her eyes lazily hearing Xavier's real reason she knew for herself if the man didn't want her to get sick from the cold wind at night. Lauren also could not resist because the wind was blowing quite strong and also she was wearing clothes quite open and made her a little cold.

Slowly Laurine tightened the black coat to warm it up. But, there was something strange about the suit and it caught his attention.

"How can you carry a gun when the security in this place is very tight?" laury asked who was holding a gun.

"Of course I entered through a special line without any checks given by your Uncle"

Laurine grunts while keeping a glass of wine that was originally in her grasp and turns to focus on holding the gun in a way that looks like a joke.

Xavier looked at it for a moment. "Don't fool around. The gun is dangerous. The firepower is incredible and can make the target destroyed instantly"

Hearing it makes Laurine just like challenged. The next instant, Laurine grinned as she pointed the gun at Xavier. "Can this destroy you too?"

"Yes" replied Xavier lightly. There was no fear at all in her even though the gun was pointed at her head.

DOR!!!

The trigger had Lauren pressed, the hot lead bullet also came out and followed by the sound of gunfire echoing.

However, it wasn't Xavier that Laurine shot. Except the sky up there. Lauren just had an air shot. Xavier is still in his place. Stand quietly while putting both hands in your pocket. Without even looking at Lauren.

"It looks like your shot is shooting, huh? As I recall the last time you held a gun, someone you killed so easily" Xavier said.

Laurine chuckled with her eyes that kept staring at the muzzle of the gun that was emitting smoke after the bullet shot out earlier. "Eitherway. It happened 5 years ago and it looks like now my shooting ability is reduced"

"You need training from a sniper like me?"

"May as well" replied Laurine, re-storing the gun behind Xavier's black suit draped over his shoulder and folding both hands to his chest.

"But I'm a traitor. What if I use that powerful shooting ability to eliminate you later?"

Xavier nodded his head. "Just do it if you want. If you betray it, it will make you happy"

"You're still the same person apparently. Xavier Kim the romantic guy who is willing to do anything for me" said Laurine grinning.

"Other than you. You're not the same person as Laurine Jung I knew 10 years ago. You guys are like two very different figures" Xavier replied like a sneer and Laurine shrugged indifferently.

"Only the classical theory of life. Everything will change with time and change. However, whether the figure of me who used to be or the figure of me who is now, you will still love me. Didn't you?"

This time Xavier turned his head and looked at Laurine who was also turning to look at him. For the umpteenth time they threw sharp glances at each other. "You have high confidence. You don't know that the disgust in the name of love is gone and replaced with great hatred!" xavier's voice began to rise.

Lauren laughed softly. "really? Does that mean you came to get revenge?"

"Which way, which revenge? The sins I committed on you were too many. Is this about me showing you off? About me aborting your child in my womb? Or about me shooting your fiancee dead just before you got married? Is it possible that you will avenge all your hatred for me at once, sir? Sounds pretty scary. I can't wait for that great battle of revenge"

Xavier's jaw hardened with a hard clenched hand. Apparently Laurine was really toying with Xavier's emotions by saying those series of words were so casual. As if what Laurine did in the past was common.

"Crazy woman!"

"And you're crazier because you're crazy about this crazy woman" Laurine said.

11:11 PM. The Black Clan Headquarters.

BUGH!!! BUGH!!! BUGH!!!

In a dark room, Xavier was focusing on hitting a punching bag in front of him.

BUGH!!! BUGH!!! BUGH!!!

Xavier's sweat continued to pour every time he lashed a hard punch, whether it was by his hands or feet.

BUGH!!! BUGH!!! BUGH!!!

No matter in the middle of a lonely night, alone, or dark. Xavier's mind was in a frenzy and his focus was only one, which was to keep hitting and hitting. Ignoring his reddened hands and feet. In the end, Xavier's activities stopped for a moment.

A loud growl sounded. His anger is no joke. The fire of hell burned his head. The anger was right at the top.

That's right, isn't it? Their meeting will only end badly. Xavier and Laurine are not good.

"Laurine!" shouted the man as he again sent a hard blow to the samsak.

BUGH!!!

"I hate you!"

BUGH!!!

"Damn it!"

BUGH!!!

"I'll make you regret all the sins you've ever committed on me!"

BUGH!!! BUGH!!! BUGH!!!

...***...

11:20 PM. The Jung Manor House's.

With quick steps, Laurine entered her bedroom and laid her body roughly on the bed. His mind was muddled for a moment when he met Xavier again. Memories that Laurine had long tried to forget, re-emerged so easily. Laurine will never forget the series of sweet and tragic events that happened to her and Xavier.

For the umpteenth time, the woman sighed in anger. Shuffling slowly tried to expel the memories of the past that filled his head. But, it didn't work. The shadow of Xavier's face even more constantly imagined and felt clear. Then Laurine turns to take off Xavier's black suit that was loaned to her while at the hotel.

Xavier did not return to ask for his suit and just left. Not saying anything else just after Laurine said something that really got her ego piqued. So, the black suit is still in Laurine and also with a gun in it. On the deck of the suit owned by Xavier by Laurine very closely.

Inhaling deeply into the masculine scent that Laurine has longed for over the past few years with her sideways posture.

"You think I believe you when you say you hate me so much?" laurine said haughtily then screeched and seemed to assume that the suit in her arms was Xavier.

"I know you very well. You won't be able to hate me, even if I kill you"

Then not long after that the look in Laurine's eyes scolded and began to redden her eyes were holding back tears.

"I admit I'm evil. But, don't hate me hm" Laurine's voice sounded soft.
