Bye Paul! We will meet again.

On the other hand,
I was looking to work on the construction side of things. I was too busy looking at everything. This has piqued my interest. Even though Derek told me not to come here, I still want to see the work. How is everything going? I'd like to hear if the staff are having any issues.
"Obin, this is a massive undertaking," I said.
"Ma'am, yes. Mr. Charles also put money into it, "Obin explained.
I asked, "Mr. Charles?"
"Ma'am, yes. "Mr. Lina's father," he answered.
Lina? "Why is she investing in us, Obin, when she has her own project? I don't think there is any need for partnership, "I said.
"I know, ma'am, and Sir has stated the same thing. On the other hand, Mr. Charles had requested him. According to the boss, Ms. Lina is an experienced girl in this sector. Consequently, he accepted it, "added Obin.
Experienced lady? Yes, she is. There is no question as to why Lina is interested in this.
Is she serious about this project or about my man? I instantly heard a female remark, "Hello." We turned around and saw Lina. Her smile disappeared as soon as she saw me. "What is she doing here?" I muttered.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. "I told her Sir was here," Obin said. When Derek didn't answer your calls, you asked for his help.
She said, "What are you doing here?"
I answered with a smile, "It's my husband's workplace, Ms. Lina. I also come to visit this on occasion "..
"Why did you tell me your boss is here?" she asked Obin, without saying anything to me.
"I did not lie to you, ma'am. She is also my boss, "he explained. I responded with a smile, "Obin, it's time for you to leave. Please allow me to speak with my investor. "
We gave each other a sidelong glance. "Come with me, Ms. Lina," I said.
"I'm not in the mood to chat with you."
She stated it with such vehemence.
"Why are you so enraged, Ms. Lina? You don't want to work with me? I can tell Derek to stop working if you don't want him to, "I added, a devilish grin on my face.
Lina's point of view
So you're threatening me? Wow! You're not as innocent as I thought. I can't make decisions in a rush or else Derek may cancel our arrangement.
Lina responded, with a smile and a nod, "What's to stop you? Then I'll have a better sense of how Derek's wife is. "
Lina and Elena began walking after saying this. "So, explain to me why you invested so much," Elena asked. Lina remarked after a little pause: "If I say it's due to your husband,"
I fixed my gaze on Lina. She's telling me this to provoke me, or she's directly challenging me. "What?", I asked, and Lina smirked at me..
"Do you know what you're saying?" I asked.
"I know what you're saying, Elena," Lina remarked. "If I said this to Derek, Derek would toss you out of here right now," I responded fiercely. I'm not sure what happened to me at that point. But I felt frightened and afraid for some reason. I'm quite aware of what Nikita has done to me.
"What's the deal with Elena? Are you self-conscious about your abilities? Are you unable to accept this challenge? " Lina remarked, a smile on her face.
I smirked. She is really committed, and she is a lovely lady with a lot of knowledge. "Derek is my husband, lina. I'm not looking for a fight. Why don't you try to do something with your bright future? ", I said.
"Oh, you pretty lady! I understand what you've stated. But that makes no difference to me. I'm sure Derek isn't pleased with you, "she explained.
"What exactly did you say?" I asked.
"Elena, I know everything there is to know about you," she said. "What does everything mean?" I asked.
"That means I know everything about how you mentally tortured Derek by claiming you love someone else," she sneered.
Hearing her, I gave her a harsh look. So, what did she do? Is it true that I tortured him? "Do you think he'll love you forever after what you did to him?" she asked, touching my chin.
I clenched my fists. "Girl, it's a man's heart after all. They are always looking for affection from a committed girl. Look at you. Do you have any qualities to stand next to him? ", she added.
I was simply listening to her; I couldn't say anything. "Just wait and see what happens. You'll find out soon enough. "Lina walked away after saying this. I was like a statue standing there.
Obin appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Ma'am, are you all right?"
I remained silent. "Obin, I'm leaving." I said as I walked out of there.
I was simply thinking about her remarks on the way. I'm sorry, Derek. Yeah, I did so much damage to you.
My phone immediately buzzed, and I looked at the screen. It's a message from Derek.
"Where are you, babe?"
I double-checked the message. A drop of water fell on the screen. I'm sorry for what I've done to you, Derek. You, too, had to deal with a lot of issues from your childhood. I observed you're bothered by something. But you didn't tell me about it? Why?
Don't you think you're safe with me?
I'm not going to let anyone get too close to you. I made the same mistake once. But I'm not going to do it this time. I'm not going to give up. You're my husband, right?
"Ma'am, we're here," replied the driver. I took a glance outside. I urged him to take me to this park. It is close to my home. I told him to take his time.
I stepped out of the car and inhaled deeply. I took a short walk and paused along the riverside. I sat there and gazed at the river.
Whenever I was in pain,
You made me relieved~
Whenever I was stuck
You made me escape.
No matter what,
You never left me alone~
After we grew up,
We parted away~
But not our love,
We kept loving each other in silence~
But one day, all changed.
Bye, Paul; we'll meet again in the next life, but just now, my priority is on Derek. Derek, I love you. I stood up with a smile on my face. I turned around, but I felt a presence behind me. I looked around, but no one was there. I began walking to my car.Elena went.

Someone peeked out from behind a tree and observed the car.
How are you, Elena?
