Chapter 414 My Heart Ached

In the morning, as soon as Essie entered the office, the secretary came. "Mr. Zac's secretary called and invited you to come to the tea house to talk about business at 3:00 this afternoon."

"Which one?" asked she. She was afraid that she misheard.

"President Rong of the Emperor, your ex- Husband. " The secretary dared not to utter the last word "husband" in fear that Essie would feel uncomfortable.

"Okay." She nodded while she was restless inside.

Did Zac want to see her?

What should he tell her?

Essie's heart began to race uncontrollably. She was like a traveler who had walked five days and nights in the desert, and was dying to see a fresh spring.

Although she had decided not to contact him anymore, her heart was so eager to see him, so eager for his touch and warm and safe embrace.

She couldn't help missing him every day.

His tall and handsome figure constantly appeared in her mind. She closed her eyes, the shadow was still there, and she reached out her hand to turn off the light. The shadow was still in the darkness. Even if she was asleep, it would linger in her dream. What was more horrifying was that her soul was longing for it, constantly surging a gentle wave. She tried to hold it tightly, so that it could never escape.

She took out her makeup bag from the drawer. Without his company, she couldn't sleep well. Every night she couldn't fall asleep, with dark circles under her eyes. She didn't eat well, either. She felt sad and lost her appetite. Her face was pale, and even her chin was sharp.

She needed make-up to make herself look energetic. She needed to hide the dark circles under her eyes, and her pale face, as well as all her sadness and haggard. She didn't want him to see her fragility.

The moment she entered the VIP room, Zac noticed that she had put on makeup which was a bit heavy. In front of him, she never wore makeup and always kept a straight face. Did she do it on purpose today?

Essie looked better than her. He had no dark circles around his eyes and no stubble on his chin. He was still very energetic and handsome.

Disappointment was like waves rolled up by the violent wind in the sea.

She was dispensable in his heart. Her existence couldn't affect his mood at all.

"Mr. Zac asked me to come here. What's the matter?" She tried to sound calmer than she thought. He made the appointment by his secretary, not himself. Obviously, he just treated her as a client.

"Miss. Essie, is your Xu's Group going to unite with the Qin's Group through marriage?" He was poker faced and as cold as an iceberg. Even his voice was cold.

Essie felt the air around her was cooling sharply, especially when she heard he call her "Miss. Essie". Her limbs were cold all of a sudden.

She rubbed her hands, trying to warm herself up. "This is a private issue between my sister and Fell. It won't affect the cooperation between Xu's Group and Rong's Group." S

nder hit right on her head, which cut her into pieces.

She took up the teacup and sipped the tea, trying to calm down the sharp pain in her heart and prevent her from being seen the slightest truth.

Zac gazed at her. His face was still poker faced, as if he was wearing a mask, which concealed all his expressions. There was only coldness and depression in his eyes.

He felt the joy of revenge. She didn't care about him, ignored his feelings, and treated him as nobody.

Unfortunately, this happiness only lasted for a short second, and disappeared, leaving only endless bitterness and sadness.

Because she looked more calm than he imagined, but she was just silent.

He hated this damn silence, which made him more and more desperate.

"Miss Essie, you can leave now." He said in a cold voice deliberately to cover up his inner excitement. He didn't dare to stay with her for too long in case that he would lose control of himself by accident. He had no idea when he could settle down with her. Maybe one month, maybe two months, or maybe forever.

Shocked by his words, she looked up at him and her eyes filled with sadness. Unfortunately, he didn't see it when he looked away.

She realized her gaffe and looked away hurriedly. She put the teacup on the table and stood up. "I'm leaving." She said in a low voice and walked out without waiting for his answer.

She looked embarrassed, as if she had been kicked out. As soon as she left the room, Essie's legs became soft like a punctured ball, and she used up all her strength.

Was this really the relationship she wanted? No intersection, no entanglement and doing their own things alone. No, it was not like that. Her heart hurt. It was protesting and crying.

In fact, she couldn't live without him for a long time, but she didn't dare to admit it. Because of her mother, she flinched. She could not let her mother sad, so she could only choose to bear this painful separation.
