Billionaire's Gift

"Ethon… I… I'm in love with someone else." Ethon's scent invaded her surroundings. It was the first time she'd been so close to a man. Her eyes watered as she pushed his arms away.

"Who do you like?" Ethon's heart pounded in his chest. He reached out to grab Fiona's arm, pulling him towards her one more time.

"Why do you care? It's not you," she snapped coldly.

"I don't believe it for one second," he stated, regaining his composure.

"I don't care." Fiona clenched her teeth. She had always dreamed of this day her whole life—that Ethon would finally be able to confess his feelings, but she just couldn't be with him...not like this.

"I won't let you go till you tell me."

"Fine! It's Mr. Xu. I have liked him ever since we were in high school. Happy now?" Fiona turned to face him, her eyes ablaze with tears and anger.

"Fiona!" he snarled.

"Are you happy now?" She clenched her fists.

"Why do you like him?" he asked her, not willing to let her go.

"Why shouldn't I?" she shot him another question. The drunkenness she felt a while ago faded out of her system. Fiona was more sober than ever.

"He's your teacher!"

"Well, he's not my teacher anymore, is he?" Her heart felt as if it was being pounded by a bat. It just hurt too much, but she stood there bravely.

"You know what? Whatever. I'm disappointed in you." Ethon sneered at her, letting go of her arms.

Fiona's breathing was unsteady as her arms flopped to her sides. One look at his glare, and she knew that she couldn't last a night in this place.

Without another word, she turned and ran.

It was incredibly stuffy in the car when she got in. Given that she drank more alcohol

come home. In fact, she didn't even care. Although some may view it as her being very considerate, Colin knew for a fact that she didn't bother because she didn't love him.

"That's true," Yosef stated, getting into his car.

Once he left, Colin got into his own car. He sat in the backseat, leaning against the leather.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Harley noticed the disappointed look that marred his boss's face. "Mr. Yu, why did you drink so much?" he asked with concern.

"Harley, have you ever loved someone?" Colin opened his eyes. They were bloodshot.

Harley nodded. He had been in a short relationship, however, it was back in college. He couldn't recall any other detail than that.

"It was back then."

"That doesn't count. If you love someone wholeheartedly, you wouldn't forget her face. You wouldn't be able to stop loving her or even stop missing her. When you wake up, you'll miss her presence. When you close your eyes, she's the one clouding your thoughts. And when she's by your side, you think you can conquer the whole world," said Colin in a grieved tone. His heart throbbed in pain.
