I NEVER WANT TO MEET HIM, ELSE I WILL DIE OF GUILT

The next day.

At Easton's penthouse.

Mr. Easton was checking his vintage wristwatch now and then as he waited for the presence of his daughter.

"Father, we have an hour left to leave," Amy told her father, whose eyes were fixed on the stairs. She rolled her eyes and pondered "She is always seeking his attention"

"Master, younger miss might have to stay for a bit...she is under the weather" Keith hurriedly came down the stairs to inform.

"Is she sick?" Worry clouded his expression. Immediately Keith nodded her head, he dashed up to his daughter's room. Behind, Keith took in a deep breath at the lie she had spoken.

Meanwhile inside May's room. The supposed sick woman was standing by the window, reminiscing about the kiss she shared with Xavier. Her eyes flashed blissfully and fingers cast on her lips. She felt delighted for he had kissed her willingly, just like that day. He had grabbed her waist so possessively and pinned her hands to the wall. Father was oblivious to the happenings in his study room. He thought they were both adjusting to the company's rectitudes, meanwhile, they were making out instead. Though she was disturbed and disgusted because when he stopped, she slapped him. That was still her first kiss. She was terrified because her brother had snatched her first kiss. It traumatized her deeply. But now, thinking of the hot kiss from last night, her face became flushed.

"Xavier, I will not leave this City... even on my deathbed, I will only move in with you," She thought.

"Darling, May"

May gasped "Why is father here... Oh! Wait... I am sick, in bed... Bed"

"May, I am coming in" She heard him say outside. Panic instantly fringed her body. Her white lie will be exposed. She briskly disheveled her hair and bit her lips hard to assume it looked pale. She jumped on the mattress and covered her body from her feet up to her neck"

Mr. Easton sauntered into the room and looking at his precious daughter laying on the bed, scared him. He walked to her and sat by her side. His eyes gazed at her closed ones.

"May" He called." Should we cancel the flight and go back home some other time? " Looking at her pale face, he removed his glasses and touched her forehead" Gosh! You are burning"

May smiled in her mind" I am? Even my body knows me...I am too proud" She heard her father say again" We should get Mr. Peter here immediately to treat your fever before it gets worse"

The happiness she felt a while ago, vanished like dust" Mr. Peter!! That Cold hearted doctor"

"I should call him now" May detected that her father's concerned voice seemed to have changed. She frowned and opened her eyes" You got me!! Can't you just play along? "

The middle-aged man smiled" You are terrible at pretending"

"So what if I was truthfully sick, will you cancel the flight? " She asked dubiously.

"Of course, your health comes first" He pinched her cheeks" You are a twenty-one grown up woman but you still behave childishly"

"I want to stay here...with Xavier" She confessed but suddenly the aura around her father withered and his eyes now darkened" Why? "

"No reason...I love the city and would like to stay a bit longer"

"No!!"

"Huh?" May blinked her eyes.

"You are coming back home with the whole family and that is final...pack your belongings and meet me downstairs"

"But father"

"Do this for your grandparents awaiting our return" He caressed her hair lovingly and left.

.....

At the Airport.

"Keith, I'll be back... I'd like to use the restroom" May told the woman beside her, but Keith blatantly refused" I cannot risk your safety, Master is ahead of us, can you stop making stupid plans to escape, please?"

"You are my maid, so do as I say, don't lecture me...I am going to the restroom" Before Keith could say a word, May had left. Indeed, she meant it when she said she wanted to visit the restroom. The airport was crammed with lots of travelers and visitors. When she thought they were hundreds of people outside, they were even more outnumbered inside. She asked a young lady with sunglasses and a tapered sweater on."Do you perhaps have an idea where the restroom is located? "

The young lady, with her attention on her phone, pointed to the left corridor where people were in a line. Relieved, May thanked her and left before it came to their flight. The previous lady with the sunglasses suddenly stopped and gasped" Was that a woman? Then I did point to the men's restroom. She must be a clever one to not follow a stranger's word"

"Gosh, why is the airport this swarmed on a Tuesday morning?" May walked ahead inside the left corridor and luckily, found a door. She rotated the knob and entered the washroom.

"How do I run from here without father's knowledge? His men are outside in case I escape...who do I call?" She scratched her neck. Just then she saw a notification on her phone. After the clicked on the alert, she saw a message from her best friend.

"Hey, why didn't you visit me? "

May faintly smile and replied "I am leaving"

Seconds later, her phone vibrated" What? Why? When? Today? "

"Yes....." Before she completed her sentence, she heard the gush of water being flushed inside one of the doors. A while after, the third door was opened. A man putting on a fitted suit retreated out. May's eyes were gauged open. She looked at her phone and quickly typed "I think I am in trouble"

After she made sure it was sent, she turned her face back to the mirror and gulped. Fortunately, the man hadn't come out completely and seen her, otherwise, she would have been in a deeper crisis. She knew from the beginning she passed by the men's restroom, but out of urge, she entered nevertheless. All she needed to do now was to sneakily leave without being noticed.

Suddenly, as she had taken a large step ahead, his cold voice resonated" STOP THERE!!! "

Frightened, May hurried with her steps and tried to leave but sadly, her ankle sprained. She just wanted to lift her legs but the broken heel had traveled behind her, only to hear a loud growl. Ashamed, she limped with just a heel on and her sprained ankle.

"Who are you? Why is a man putting on a heel?" The man groaned detestably and snatched her arms" Why do you smell feminine?"

May froze and prayed to God for help. Pitifully, other men began to enter the room and the confused look on their faces embarrassed her the more. She wanted to defend herself and say" It was not what they were thinking" but that man refused to leave her. As additional men began entering, she suck in her mortification and veered around as she was now face-to-face with the man.

"YOU CRIMINAL, LET ME GO!!! " She portrayed herself as the victim and looked around for help. When no one was going to help, she threw her elbow directly at his nose and found her release.

"I never want to meet him again, else I will die of guilt"
