Chapter 511: Extraordinary
Emilia: *Angry Emoji* Why?
The message stared back at me for a minute, and my finger hugged against my phone to reply, but I didn’t. Giving up, I flung my phone beside me and buried my face in distress. The pressure of everything weighed on me, making it difficult to collect my thoughts. But three words were voiced in the depths of my mind.
It’s no use.
I rose and stripped from my clothes, leaving a trail of them on the floor until I got to the bathroom, turned the tap on, and waited for the water to rise, checking the temperature to make sure it was just the right one. I slid into it relaxed within the tub and closed my eyes.
I stayed in this position for an hour or so, allowing my tense muscles to ease themselves under the heat. When the water got cold, I stepped out of the tub and grabbed a robe, walking back to my bed, Emilia’s name popped up and my ringtone followed. I pondered if I should pick up her call or not but knowing she wouldn’t let me have a breather and would probably drive the way here I thought wisely.
I grabbed my phone and pressed the green button.
"What do you mean stop the daily report?!" she raged, sparing no time for me to say anything "That is the only way you know what the fuck he’s doing. Did you ask for this months ago to change your mind now? Why?!"
Typical Emilia not to leave any stone unturned.
"I mean it’s no use," I repeated what I had been telling myself for the past hour, but saying it out loud caused me to wince. I sound stupid. But it’s the truth. Why should I keep tabs on someone who doesn’t want me? It felt like hanging on a thread about to snap.
"What do you mean no use? Explain yourself and also explain why you didn’t tell me You-Know-Who remodeled your room"
Fuck! This was going to be the talk of the century. I’ll get Grayson back for it or maybe it was Emilia who pressured him to say it, I can already picture it. "Emilia"
