"Mr. Conduibh, why do you have to draw a line between you and me in such a hurry?" Gracie asked. She seemed a bit upset.
Tassach looked at her with meaningful looks in his eyes, and replied shortly, "Come to my office."
He said as he went away.
Gracie followed behind him with red eyes.
As soon as Gracie and Tassach left, the design department burst into a riot of sound. The two who had gossiped about Ophelia in the bathroom seemed so embarrassed. They were looking at her with guilty in their eyes, The two men were very straightforward, they came to apologize to her as soon as they heard the clarification from Tassach.
Ophelia just laughed and didn't say anything. Their relationship was quite superficial, and she wasn't going to put more thought into it.
"Once bitten, twice alerted." She had been through the betray from her colleague twice, and she had decided to give up on getting emotionally attached to those people.
Some people were just as ungrateful as beasts. They would never know how to pay you back no matter how nice you treated them.
As soon as Gracie walked into Tassach's office, he asked, "What do you want?"
Gracie's eyes were rimmed with tears. She said with her last pride, "I want nothing but my sovereignty over you as your girlfriend. I want them to know that. We'll be married soon, so I did say it wrong."
Tassach was so angry that he laughed out. He had never seen any woman that could be as ridiculous as this one. She was like sticky bubblegum which you could never get rid of.
"Gracie, have you no shame?" Tassach asked.
Gracie sat on the couch and said, "I was telling them the truth. You're my fiancé! Why should I feel ashamed?"
Tassach's face looked sullen. He said, "Gracie, I don't like you, and you're not my girlfriend. Going around me all day like this only makes me hate you more. You're beautiful and talented, why do you have to choose me? What mistake have I made to mislead you?"
Gracie said, "You said I am young, pretty, and have a rich family, so why don't you like me? Is there anything I can do to make you like me?"
Tassach only felt a pain on his forehead.
"Can't you just stop this, Gracie?"
"Tassach, you have feelings for my body, why don't you admit it? As long as you want me, I'll be yours."
Tassach's face turned grim when he saw her do that. He yelled, "Put your clothes on."
Gracie didn't put her clothes on. She walked around the desk and tried to sit on Tassach's thighs. Tassach pushed her away and said coldly, "Put your clothes on, don't let me look down on you."
Gracie's eyes turned red again. She looked at Tassach's emotionless eyes, feeling ashamed, angry, and annoyed. She had been proud since she was young. Born in a rich family, she had been used to be flattered by men. Never had there been a man treating her like this.
She tried to seduce him, and she was rejected.
Gracie looked at him with desperate eyes and said, "Tassach. why do you hate me?"
"I don't hate you. I just don't have feelings for you."
Gracie said, "Tassach. The marriage between us is your family's proposal, and that was also the reason why my family came back from abroad. Your mother said we'll get engaged, and I don't think you or me have a choice."
