Chapter 23 Cold shoulder
Couple of days had passed, Conrad still keeping his distance from Siren.
Whenever he sees that the woman wants to approach him, he immediately makes an excuse to avoid her.
Honestly, he didn't want to do that to the woman. But he knew that if he didn't avoid her first, they would just continue their relationship. And he knew in his heart that it would not be good for him.
He wanted to avoid her not just for forgetting what happened at the resort, but to protect himself from the woman as well.
He knows her kind. If she would found out that he was with her that night, he was sure she would cling to him and take every opportunity to get him.
She's just like any other women who will do anything to have a comfortable life. And he didn’t want to be an instrument in the woman’s antics.
He still have many dreams in life and he will not allow her to be an obstacle for him on reaching his goals.
Besides, she's not the woman he dreams of being with.
He had dreamed of his future life-partner as a woman who is educated and has big dreams. A woman worthy of love and care. And a woman who is an ideal mother of her future children.
And it wasn’t Reena. He didn’t want to be with a woman like this. So right now, he has to avoid her.

"Felix..." Siren's steps were heavy as she entered Felix's office.
She found him with submerged head in the paperworks over his desk.
Felix take a quick look at her then proceed on his work again.
"What brought you here?" He asked coldly.
"I feel terrible." She lazily sat down on the couch.
"Why did you come here instead of going straight to the hospital?"
"No one can treat me there." She said.
"Stupid."
"Yeah. Stupid." She chuckles. "I'm so stupid, right?"
"You got it right." He agreed.
After that, a deafening silence passed. It's more quieter than when he was alone earlier.
He lift up his gaze and look at her direction. He noticed that she's a totally different person today.
"What with the silence?" He can't stop himself but to ask.
"I'm always like this."
"Cut that crap, Siren. What's with you?" He was so annoyed.
"I just wanted to be in a quiet place."
"You're such an idiot. Why did you come here in the first place?"
"Why? Am I not allowed to come?"
Felix feel himself losing control. Her attitude is really annoying that he wants to hang her on the ceiling right now.
"If you don't realize it, you're really bothersome. Why don't you look for a place that you can hide forever? You're presence makes people sick!"
Instead of fighting him back, Siren fell into a deep thoughts.
Earlier, she was thinking about visiting Felix to annoy him. She's been in a daze for a long while since that 'resort incident' occur, but she still feel so horrible towards herself and with the things between her and Conrad. She just wanted someone to talk to. Even if Felix was always seems to be in a bad mood, at least she can still have some fun when he's annoyed. But it happens the other way around.
Lazily, she rose to her feet and started walking to the door. Realizing this is not the place she can stay with. People here were colder than Conrad. All her hopes about having a company today totally fades.
Why people makes it hard for her to be just happy? Why do they always taking the chance to rub the part where it hurts so much?
The feeling of being lost found her again.
But instead of crying, she let out a laugh. Tears stream down to her face as she walks through the hallway slowly.
People, when you get to love and cherish them the most, when you get to give them all of you, in the end, they will just put you aside when they grow tired of you.
"Young lady Siren?" She stopped when she hear someone calls her name.
Harry, her personal assistant in Felix's office was the person who called her name.
---------
Harry accompany her to choose her preferred table before he went to the counter to order.
Siren look around inside the cafe. Approximately, there is more or less twenty tables around. Clean and accommodating. She could say it's a good place since it was near from the office.
The costumers were in and out. Such a good aura of profit.
Slowly, her mood lift up as she find the ambiance so relaxing.
Also, Harry was the one who invited her for a snack. She don't know what was that mean, but it sounds good since she's upset.
She was about to look for Harry when she catches a glimpse of the two people walking in.
Suddenly, her heart seem to skip its beat as she saw them smiling at each other. Looks like they are talking about funny thing. It was her first time seeing him so delighted. And he looks so damn handsome. And the woman beside him... she could say they look like a perfect couple.
She frowned with the thought.
"Miss Siren, I decided to get an ice cream for you." It was Harry who took her back to her senses. He sat right in front of her. Handing a cup of chocolate flavored ice cream. He prepares the stuff himself before letting her grab her spoon.
"Thank you." She smiled at him.
"No worries. I'm always at your service." He said cheerfully.
For quite sometime, she realized that there's still a person who can lift her spirit up. Though it's unexpected, but she still feel grateful.
Long after, she forced herself so hard to not take even a single glance at the two people, sitting two tables away from them. Though she hears them laugh from time to time, she ignores the gradual deepening of the pain she feels in her heart.
She's wondering if the guy became blind to not seem to notice her around. It looks like that woman was all he could see right now.
She heaved a sigh because of frustration. She turned to her assistant to divert her attention. "Thank you for this treat." She said.
"That's nothing. It's only twelve dollars, but I'm so lucky to treat you here." He bow his head slightly as he speaks.
"Isn't Felix giving you a hard time on your job?"
"No. Actually, he's not minding me at all. My desk was located beside his secretary's desk but he had never spoke to me ever since I started working there." He says.
"Then what are you doing the whole day?"
"I was just waiting for your call. I only intend to work for you."
She gave him a weird smile. Felix is ready an idiot at this state. Why would he let the company pay for an assistant who only had few hours of working and getting a salary that covers the month due? That was the crappiest idea he ever had.
"Is that so? So you mean, you are not accepting any orders from others?"
"No."
"Hmm ... Do you have a car?"
"Yes, ma'am. The company provides a car for me."
"How about the money?"
"Mr. Wines handed me a Gold Card but instructed me that Miss Siren is the only person who can use it." He shoved his hand on his coat pocket and took a yellow card out.
"Oh..." She grin. "I'm surprised."
"Mr. Wines told me to accommodate all the stuffs that you want and need. Miss Siren only have to tell a word."
She smirked. Her mood switched up suddenly as she heard him say those words.
An idea flashes across her mind.
-------------
"What do you think?" The man smiled at her, obviously convincing her silently.
Siren look at Harry's face. She almost burst into laughter as she saw him almost drooling.
In front of them is a brand new latest Lamborghini Aventador model.
"Young lady Siren..." Harry's voice sounds like he's dreaming at the moment.
"So...?" The salesman can't wait any longer.
"We will take this."
" Yes!" The man exclaimed.
But when she look at Harry. He was having a weird expression on his face. Download Novelah App
