Loving you Painful
Episode 25's
Catherine just got out of her house. He stared at the sky as snowflakes fell to the ground. He held out his palm until the snowflakes touched his skin.
Not noticeably, it had now entered into the winter where the first snow had already fallen.
While enjoying the first snowfall, suddenly someone standing before him made him look towards that person.
"Alan?" exclaim Catherine.
"Hi, good morning" she said with a big smile.
"You? Why here?" catherine asked her forehead.
"I came here to take you to the office" Alan exclaimed.
"But the direction to the office is different from yours" Catherine exclaimed.
"No problem. Let me take you to the office" Alan pulled Catherine's wrist and got into Alan's car.
From a distance a car seems to stop and the driver can be seen watching Catherine who got into Alan's car. Both of his hands were clutching the steering wheel.
"What's wrong with me" he murmured that was none other than Aiden.
"Why does it feel so angry to see Catherine with that man."
Aiden hit the steering wheel in anger. For a moment he fell silent leaning his head against the back of the car seat while exhaling violently.

"Mrs. Aiden, you've been asked to come to Mr. George," cried Secretary Aiden as he was about to enter his room.
Aiden knew sooner or later he would be called by the head of the law firm where he worked. The Minister's case seems to have reached the ears of his superiors.
"Okay" replied Aiden.

At this moment Aiden was already standing in front of the big door. He braced himself before knocking on the room.
After getting an answer from inside, he opened the door and entered the room.
"Good Morning, Mr."
"Please sit down, Aiden," exclaimed the old man.
Aiden took a seat in front of Mr. George looks emotional.
"You called me?" ask Aiden.
"See this!" George threw the newspaper on the table in front of Aiden. "What the fuck is Aiden. Can you explain?"
Geroge looks both emotional and upset.
"Is there a problem, sir?" asked Aiden in a calm tone.
"You obviously know it. How the media got Minister Lian's disgrace. Isn't it your scandalous evidence file that's saved" he exclaimed. "You were handling the case back then."
"Yes" replied Aiden.
"What Yes!"
Brakes
George kicked the table out of emotion. "So it's true you spread this news?" ask George.
"Without me spreading it, Minister Lian has indeed done a lot of embezzlement and playing women outside. I just don't like protecting a criminal" Aiden replied calmly.
"Where's your brain, huh? Do you want this firm destroyed and closed!" peeking George. "Don't miss your limits, Aiden. You're here only a lawyer! You must follow the rules I made!"
Aiden smiled a little. "Does that Minister have a great influence on this Firm?" ask Aiden.
"If this firm runs because it protects criminals. Then I'd be happy to resign from here" Aiden said.
"Don't be arrogant you're Aiden. Because you're such a good and talented lawyer here. You'll be done when I revoke your permission" exclaimed George in a haughty tone.
George let out a sigh as he sat back in his great chair.
"You must retract all this news and admit that you slandered Minister Lian. Tell him he's innocent" exclaimed George.
"I'm sorry but I can't. I work for honesty."
"You're so proud and arrogant" said George.
Aiden just kept quiet.
"Well, if you don't want to do that. Because you've made me lose a lot because of Minister Lian's demands. Then I'll decide. From now on you're no longer a lawyer here" George said.
Aiden was silent. He knew what risks he would take.
"Thank you Mr. George. Then excuse me" said Aiden walking out of Geroge's room.

Aiden stood on a bridge holding a canned drink. His gaze was fixed staring forward, one hand he put in his pants pocket and the other hand held a beer in a can. He sipped it occasionally.
"Ah so now in an instant you turn into an unemployed man" exclaimed Mike standing by Aiden's side leaning against the bridge handle as he sipped a beer in his can.
"Hmmm... Are you going to help me find a job?" ask Aiden.
"Ck. I just did odd jobs. If you want a job, just ask Harry" exclaimed Mike, making Aiden smile.
"Aiden, I was actually curious. You made a great sacrifice for that woman. Do you love her so much?" ask Mike.
"I don't know. I just want to protect her, and I don't want her to be insulted and accused of being a bad and moral woman" Aiden said.
"Ah you do love her" exclaimed Mike.
"really? What do you know about love, Mike?" ask Aiden to look at Mike. "Have you ever loved someone?"
"Not yet" Mike.
"I'll never believe your opinion on love. You yourself have never been in love and your job is just having fun with some women" Aiden exclaimed.
"But I'm not so stupid about love either. Actually I still didn't expect. For her sake, you're willing to give up your dreams" exclaimed Mike, leaving Aiden speechless and focused on enjoying his drink.

At this time Aiden came to Catherine's office wearing casual clothes and a brown coat. He walked through the office lobby and into the elevator.
Ting
The elevator doors opened and revealed a stifling sight.
In front of him Alan was hugging Catherine. Hearing the sound of the elevator, Catherine is seen pushing Alan's chest and turning towards the elevator. His gaze widened as he clashed with Aiden's sharp eyes.
"Well Cath, I'll see you this weekend. I'm going, yeah" cried Alan.
"Yes, be careful," exclaimed Catherine with a small smile.
Alan got into the elevator and Aiden walked out of the elevator feeling unsettled. He walked first leaving Catherine who still seemed to want to see Alan's departure.
Aiden took a seat in Catherine's room waiting for Catherine's arrival. Before long, there were sounds of graceful steps and regular pounding of shoes.
Catherine walked into the room, then took a seat in her great chair right opposite Aiden.
"It looks like you're getting closer to that Ceo" Aiden exclaimed.
"What are you coming here for? Didn't the agreement document yesterday have been sent to your office" Catherine said.
"I'm just here to say goodbye" Aiden exclaimed, straining Catherine.
Pamitan....?
Catherine was still waiting for Aiden's words. This is not something that will hurt him very much.
"I quit the firm. In the future there will be a lawyer who will replace me to work here."
Deg
"Why?" ask Catherine.
"What?"
"Why did you get out of the firm?" ask Catherine.
"Maybe I'm not fit to work there," Aiden replied casually.
"Alright I won't bother you much longer. I left," said Aiden standing up from his seat and thrusting his hand toward Catherine.
Catherine looked at Aiden's hand in front of her with an erratic feeling. After a long time, he welcomed Aiden's hand.
"Thank you for our cooperation so far" Aiden said.
"Yes." Yeah."
After saying that, Aiden left Catherine's room.
