Twisted Love's

Episode 19's

The man looked at Nolan, hatred seething in his eyes.

Who'sis that? Didn't he just call Nolan?

Nolan stepped forward in front of me trying to protect me from the stranger.

What the hell is going on here?

He looked at Nolan as if they were enemies ... Do they know each other?

"Noland ..." Frightened, I whispered his name, making Nolan push me one step back.

"Who are you?" Ask Nolan.

"I used to work for a company you sued in court ..." Answer the stranger.

"Oh. Now I understand ..."

(Huh? So he*know who it*?)

"What do you know?! Because of you .. because of you I lost my job and my family!" In contrast to Nolan who was very calm, the man's face was extremely angry and bright red.

His cries shocked the nearby passersby, causing their heads to spin as they peeked at the commotion.

"We'll do it again! I want a retrial! I'll take back my family and my life!" He shouted and drew closer to Nolan's face, grabbing his collar.

Without ruining his calm expression, Nolan brushed off his hand and took out a notebook from his pocket.

“The case is done. The judge denied there was a chance for a retrial. More than that, I'm just doing my job. If you have a problem, solve it with the company that hired me." Nolan spoke calmly, stuffed the notebook back into his pocket and walked away.

Waitaminute!

The desperate man knelt down, slamming his fists into the cement.

Nolan walked to his car without looking back.

So this has something to do with Nolan's work, right?

I rushed towards the car, looking back once more only to see the man crying.

Even in the car, I still saw the tortured man's face.

I just can't forget the way he glared at Nolan ...

It must be hard to make someone stare at you with such hatred ...

"Are you okay?" My toot.

"Huh?"

"He grabbed your shirt, right? Are you hurt?" I'm worried about Nolan.

"I'm doing fine. In fact, I'm sorry if it scares you." Nolan apologized.

"It's okay." I shook my head gently.

"Does that have anything to do with your trial?" I asked in a calm voice as he started the car.

“There was a lawsuit against his company. They lost the trial and went bankrupt because no one believed them anymore." Answer Nolan.

I know Nolan had something to do with it ...

"That's so bad... But why did he take it out on you?" I asked again.

"He was just frustrated and had no way out for his emotions ... It happens all the time." Nolan replied expressionlessly.

"Even if it happens, what if something bad happens? Shouldn't you file a police report or something?"

"Gmph ... I'm used to it now."

"Don't joke, Nolan!"

"I know where you're from, but this kind of thing happens all the time in my life, Julia."

"If I file a police report every time something like this shows up, I won't have enough time to sleep." Nolan stepped on the gas, making the car slide forward.

However, somewhere in his eyes, it seemed like he was hiding some emotions from me.

There is no one who can't stand feeling hated like that ...

Just watching it hurts me. I'm sure it must have been a lot harder for him...

"Noland... It hurts, doesn't it?"

“Do not be foolish. Why would I have to?"

"You blame yourself. I can see it in your eyes... "

"Don't talk to me. I'm trying to drive here."

"I'm just tired, that's all." Nolan rejected my concern firmly as he stomped on the gas violently.

A long silence took over the atmosphere in the car.

Maybe I talk too much. And now it feels very awkward here ..)

I don't know anything about his work. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Actually I want to apologize, but maybe it's better if I don't say anything ...

I felt unsure whether to talk or not, but I hated this unbearable silence, I grabbed and turned on the radio.

"And that's the headline tonight." The voice of the radio host cut through the terrible silence.

"In other news, Nolan's famous lawyer moved away from a lawsuit against a major pharmaceutical company. Now, the executives of the pharmaceutical company approached his son, Nolan Junior to represent their case in court."

"Huh?" I'm slack.

Did they just say Nolan Junior?!

I glanced at Nolan just in time to see his eyebrows twitch.

"Regardless of who their representatives are, it will be a long and troublesome trial for both parties."

“Does Nolan Junior have what it takes to win and claim his 100th miracle win? Find out what we think after the next break! " Nolan grabbed and turned off the radio, after quite a lot of hearing from the enthusiastic host.

Once again, the atmosphere of the car fell into a deep silence.

"What is that pharmaceutical company that the shelter is suing for?" My toot.

"What if it is?" A horrible giggle crawled through me, from my toes to my head upon hearing his answer.

"And you took the job?"

"Who knows? Looks like they want me."

"Don't be stupid! Is this why you asked all the questions about the shelter?!" I asked her, hoping for a little rejection from her.

No. gabe. It's better not ... I don't think I want to hear the answer.

And even though I knew I shouldn't do it, my emotions were too overwhelming to stop talking ..

Is it because I'm mad at Nolan, or is it something else?

"So you talked to me just to steal information? You ... use me?" I was looking for him with a question that seemed to upset him.

"Is that a problem for you? You're the one who talks so freely about it. If there's a problem here, it's you and your big mouth." I clenched my hands, his words hitting me like a brick.

I'm not just angry ... I'm wounded.

And the pain in my heart is proof of that.

"I do so because I trust you ... How can you talk to me with impure intentions?" My heart feels broken.

"Faith? You trust a guy you barely know just because he lives in the same apartment .. Which of all places, invites you to a bar to talk."

"Acquire. The only reason you came with me is because you know who I am. You're just like any other girl who went crazy when she heard Nolan Junior's name."

"A-What ?! I don't think!" His humiliation pierced my heart.

"What about today? We went on a date just because we threw that stupid coin. You could have said no! Aren't you just taking advantage of me?" Nolan scoffs at.

"Don't be stupid! I can't believe you even thought of such a thing! Besides, I live abroad! I didn't even know about you until now!"

"And when we go to the bar together ... I'm just trying to get to know the people I live with! Don't be so confident!" My yelling.

Why would... Why does it have to be like this? Wasn't everything still okay?

Even Nolan said he had fun .. He sat very close to me, but now I feel he is very far away...

I felt so frustrated and angry, I couldn't even cry. Instead, my heart was spinning in pain.

When we finally reached the Lilac Court, Nolan leaned her head against the window with eyes pointed at her feet.

When I opened my seatbelt, I said one last thing to him.

"And about the shelter .."

"I'm just talking to you about it because I think you like animals."

"But you're right. I opened my big mouth .. And now I regret it." Before he had a chance to say anything back, I jumped out and ran.

I'm a real idiot ...

I bit my lips, completely disgusted with myself.

Heavy and cold air covered me biting my skin.
