THE FIRE OF LOVE

Barmy

Jake's right. I have always wanted this marriage. So it's not appropriate to behave in a way that doesn't please her. Jake's been fighting so we can get here. I can't disappoint him either.

Tomorrow...

I am so happy today. My heart blossoms like a garden of a thousand colorful flowers. And today I'm going to do body care with Jinny. But before that I have to go to the office first to finish my job. And now it doesn't feel like it's almost lunchtime. Someone knocked on my door.

"Lake in!"

Before long I saw a woman with a very sad face enter this room. It was Aurelia who carried a bag and also a green map in her hand. He seems to have completed his handover.

"Lil." He also greeted me.

"Sit down, Aurelia," I told him.

Jake today didn't come to the office because he wanted to finish the project on island F before our wedding day arrived. So that he can take a long holiday without being disturbed by work affairs. Jake wants all the trouble and business done before the wedding. We also work together to solve it. Go shoulder to shoulder for a solemn wedding.

"I ... I want to talk to you before I leave this company." Aurelia.

"Please."

"I ... I want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday." He finally apologized to me. "I'm sorry. Really sorry. Madam Lea threatened to kill me if she didn't cooperate with him. So I had to do it." He admitted his mistake.

I took a deep breath. Trying not to be angry at what he did at that time. But because of him I also had to endure suffering. I was cold in a dark and damp room. I also almost got sick from being kidnapped. But back I position myself if I seem to. I'm trying to understand the situation.

"There's one thing I want to ask you. Why do you know if Lara's in the hospital? He didn't tell me?" I want to know the answer.

He looked down, swallowed his saliva. "I have made him sick to his stomach, Lilia. I took her out to dinner and I mixed the medicine so she'd be in pain." Aurelia was honest with me.

When I heard it, I knew right then and there that Aurelia was honest and willing to admit her mistake. It's just that the situation continues to urge him so inevitably he does something like that. And now he has to bear the consequences.

"I've spoken to Jake. But it seemed like he could not tolerate betrayal. I'm sorry, I can't help you any further" I said.

I saw him start to shed his tears. Maybe feel sad about his performance so far that must be aground and futile. Because after all he has worked for a long time in GOC. He has been working for eight years to grow the company.

"Then .. I'm sorry, Lilia. Please extend my apology to Mr. Jake." He stood up.

I nodded, smiling. He put his green map on my desk. And then he left. I see Aurelia as holding back her sobs. He was very unwilling to make this decision. But this is the consequence of committing treason against Jake. The head of the GOC Admin has officially resigned.
