However, he heard it all the same.
He had been talking to someone who had walked out with him when he stopped suddenly and looked up at her.
When their eyes met, Kyla’s heart trembled instantly.
At that moment, she seemed to understand why Mallory Malcom said Martin Weiss had moved on.
because the way he looked at her was frightfully unfamiliar as if she were a mere acquaintance to him and nothing more.
It was as if their relationship in the past meant nothing to him anymore.
Martin Weiss then turned and said to the person beside him, “Go back first and give me the materials of today’s meeting after you’ve sorted them out.”
Even if some wanted to watch the scene unfold, they dared not stay after their boss said so.
The crowd soon got into the elevator and left.
Martin Weiss slowly walked up to Kyla with indifferent eyes and an
unchanging expression.
“I remember telling Mallory that I don’t want to see you.” His cold voice pricked her eardrums like a steel needle.
“I… I want to see you about something important.” She bit her lip slightly.
He said, “If you’re facing any problems, you can ask Mallory to help you solve them. You don’t need to come and see me. I’ll let it pass this time, but I don’t want this to happen again, Kyla. I’ll ask Mallory to take you back to your hotel later.”
With that said, Martin Weiss turned around to leave.
Kyla put the glass in her hand on the small round table nearby almost subconsciously. Then, she quickly grabbed his arm. “Martin, since we’ve already seen each other anyway, why don’t you let me finish what I have to say?”
He glanced down at the hand gripping his arm before slowly moving his gaze to her face. Suddenly, he sneered.
“Kyla, you’re still so full of yourself. You said you wanted us to be even, so be it. You said you didn’t want me to ever show up in front of you again, so I stayed far away. You make all the decisions in our relationship. You now want to meet me, so you came. Do I have to listen to whatever you have to say just because you want to talk to me?”
With that said, he raised his hand and pried her fingers off his arm one by one.
Her fingers stubbornly refused to let go, so he increased his strength.
Her fingers… felt the pain.
“If you still won’t let go, you’ll be the only one to suffeṛ.” There was a note of impatience in his voice.
Kyla said in a panic, “Martin, I know I shouldn’t bother you, but I really have something important to say.
I… I have a friend called Amber Mitchell who helped me a lot when I was in prison and when I gave birth to Nelson. But I’ve lost contact with her over the years. Jacqueline Bowman knows where Amber Mitchell is…”
Kyla quickly told him Jacqueline Bowman’s request. “I hope you can issue a memorandum of understanding and tell your lawyer about this matter so that Jacqueline Bowman can be given probation.”
Martin Weiss looked at Kyla coldly. “You want me to spare a woman who nearly killed me?”
Kyla froze. Jacqueline Bowman had aimed to harm her, not Martin Weiss. However, Martin Weiss was the one who ended up on the operating table.
If there had not been enough blood that day, Martin Weiss might have bled to death.
“Sorry, I… I just want to find out Amber Mitchell’s whereabouts because Jacqueline Bowman said Amber Mitchell is living a miserable life and is worse off than being dead right now,” she said, her nose feeling sore.
“Worse off than being dead?” muttered Martin Weiss as the way he looked at Kyla grew colder. “Your friend ‘might’ only be worse.
off than being dead, yet you’re already so anxious and worried. Do you know I’ve been worse off than being dead over the years? Were you ever worried about me?”
“I…” She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
He said, “Kyla, you’ve never given me a spot in your heart. You have no feelings for me, so you don’t care whether I’m miserable or not. I used to be willing to do everything for you because of
guilt, remorse, and love. But I don’t love you anymore, so things aren’t the same as they used to be.”
“Can’t you… help me one last time? Think of it as I owe you a favor. I’ll return it one day!” she said with a shudder in her voice.
“Why should I?” Those three words seemed to send her to hell in a heartbeat as her heart sank instantly.
‘Yeah, why should he? Perhaps I could have relied on his affection for me if it was before.
‘But he no longer has feelings for me. What can I do?’
“Besides, what do you think an owner of a store like you can give me? I have everything I need. What can you give me that I don’t have? Feelings? What a pity. I previously begged you to give me a chance, but you refused. Your feelings are no longer important to 1. I don’t want them even if you want to give them to me.”
With a sudden force of his hand, he pried her fingers away from his arm.
“Kyla, I hope you’ll keep your word. Let’s never meet each other again!” His cold voice rang out in her ears.
The next moment, what she saw was his back as he turned away.
He was so decisive that there was not a trace of reluctance.
Kyla’s fingers quivered slightly with a tinge of pain.
However, the pain was so faint compared to the suffocating pain in her heart.
