Hauler’s mansion
°°°
Ely’s curiousness got the better of her. She secretly hoped he would not reply her and at the same time she hoped he’ll say no. But instead of those, Nate did none he snickers, he suddenly got cold and distant as he grabs Ely’s arms firmly “let go!! Don’t touch me!”
She struggles to his grip. Nate let’s go of her arms and held her hand brining it to his lips as they brushed against them. He watched her silently, letting go he utters furiously
“is that how little you trust me?!”
It scared Ely she shivers take a few steps backwards, Nate had a vien pop at his forehead. Turning his back to leave Nate paused his head barely turned her way.
” I’ll be in the study room…alone!”
He added sternly as the noise of his shoes slowly faded away. Ely wipes her cheeks in pain, was it the end for them? She wondered. Ely stared at the ring on her finger and cried holding her chest. She was lost and could not live without Nate. Her sobs echoed in the dark room.
Study room📔
Nate was getting himself busy with paperwork, he had documents in his hand as he signed others. His eyes glanced at the clock continuously. It was midnight when Nate finally stepped out of his study. His eyes fell on a sleeping creature by the door. Ely fell asleep after waiting for him and after being stubborn. Nate scoffs his lips parting he squats facing her charming face
” Who could’ve imagined she was throwing a tantrum earlier?”
He whispers noticing her cheeks having sequels of dried tears on them. He sighs picking her up in his arms like a princess. He walked careful with her to the room placing her in bed after taking off her heels. He kisses her forehead, the warmth of his lips remained but he disappeared to the bathroom.

” I wonder if things are getting better”
Pieper squeezes herself to the couch pondering as she suddenly springs up “what if I pay her an unannounced visit?”
The idea soon faded given she didn’t have the exact location, she slumbs back heavily to her seat.
” Should I give that man a piece of me?!”
She quickly chickens out remembering his eyes as she picks up her phone trying to reach Ely but her phone was turned off.
“Sigh. Is it that bad?”
Pieper was worried sick as she bites on her thumbnail continuously. Given she hasn’t been in any serious relationship she couldn’t be of help and felt sad regarding Ely’s situation.

Turning around in bed, Ely’s heart suddenly felt heavy given her present relationship with Nate. She sits upright trying to get herself together. Rubbing her eyes she realizes she was in the room and not at the study door. Ely held her chest, it was pounding hard inside. Her eyes lit with hope. She knew Nate was the only one who had access to the room. Ely lazily pulled herself up walking to the bathroom. Her face looked dried out and pale she was sad, her eyes puffy. Ely was refreshed up and descended the stairs in a white elegant gown, her hair Styled with a scarf around her neck. The table was empty and only breakfast for one was on it. Ely was munching on her Toast in solitude as she whispers to a maid around the corner.” Nate?”
The maid nods ” The young master Left early for work this morning, he skipped his breakfast. He went with Nathan.”
The maid slightly bows as she walks off. Ely’s brows twitched she tries hard not to break down as she takes out her phone calling Yan who picks up immediately. From the background noise, Yan was driving
E 📞:” hello? Can we meet up?”
Yan was silent but he knew it’ll come to this sooner or later
Y 📞:” chugs bar or Sk.Bk by 10?”
Ely on the other end agrees as she quickly rushed out of the Mansion.

Ely remembers her first encounter with Yan after the hospital but this time around she felt down. Climbing the stairs, Ely notices Yan who was having a steak as she nods at him. Immediately sitting, Ely dives into the subject “is he really married?”
Yan pauses leaning to his sit “no”
His eyes got serious.
“For certain reasons it’s fake”
Ely was confused and Yan knew it. He stood up checking his wrist watch.
” let’s go, meet him he’ll surely let you know”
Yan knows Nate as much and know he wasn’t mad at Ely but at his past memories. Ely was scared but follwed Yan with a lumb un her throat.

Yan guided Ely to the lift 🛗 indicating to her his office at the top, he gave her thumbs up and disappeared into his department. Nate’s workspace was very huge almost like an apartment on its own. It was prohibited Entry from employees.
Ely stood up by the door ringing at it, but got no response she pressed her lips together turning to leave as she was pulled in by Nate into his embrace.
