Chapter 65

She looked at the man across the big conference room.He was wearing a dark suit with a buttoned up shirt and tie,looking intelligent and professional,just like when she first met him.It had been a long time since she had seen him like this,she had gotten a bit used with the casual attires.Their seats were so far away as if they were strangers,probably no one knew that these two seemingly strangers were married.

Looking at their seats like this,she finally understood the completely different worlds they lived in.He was among the front showing his importance in this field while she was many rows behind.

Amelie then turned to look at the front at the person who was speaking.But she couldn't comprehend what that person was saying anymore.She clenched the hands on her thighs and lowered her head trying to surpress the feelings in her heart.She knew she hated him.She knew she couldn't stand him.She knew that very well,but why?Why did her heart skip a beat when she saw him again?

Amelie took a deep breath and continued listening to the conference.

Amelie wasn't the only one with complicated feelings,Aiden who seemed like he was immersed in the conference was barely surpressing the urge to turn his head and look at the woman who was legally his wife.

He was really angry,but he couldn't blame her for his anger.No one could imagine how he felt when he saw her at the corridor no less than an hour ago.Their eyes briefly made contact with eachother but she completely avoided it and walked pass him as if he were less than a stranger.Her face indifferent completely lacking of any emotion.

At least you would acknowledge a stranger, but she didn't even consider him as one.To her,he was nothing.

Finally, it was time for the questions.As much as she didn't want the attention of everyone,Amelie had to make a few questions so she and her company could stand out.She made a few interesting questions even though she already knew the answer to them so people would notice her and just as she had calculated they did.

Listening to the familiar strong,confident voice of the young woman,Aiden turned around to look at the owner.Her eyes were full of intelligence as always and her posture straight.He couldn't help but think of all the different sides he had seen of her and his desire of wanting to see more.His head was in a mess,just like she had left him months ago.What was he supposed to do?What was he supposed to think?He had always been cautious and not bad at reading the people around him,but she was the only one who made him doubt everything for years now.Sometimes she was this angel that knew no evil,the next he would find out the devil she was. Sometimes he would doubt if his jugdment was wrong that everything was a misunderstanding,but that little seed of doubt had already grown roots in his heart,roots he could not ignore anymore.

Who are you Amelie?What spell have you put on me?I can't forgive you,but still I can't help not wanting to let you go!Please do something to make me let go of you!Don't show any mercy!Destroy me to pieces so I can rebuild myself without you!

Aiden couldn't help but roar in his heart.His eyebrows arching as he looked at that beautiful woman.

"Psst,Aiden!Aiden!Snap out of it!" Dominick finally shook him slightly as he whispered. If Aiden kept at it he would draw more attention.

Aiden's eyes shook and he immediately turned his head around trying to be as natural as possible.

"...Are you okay?" Dominick asked concernedly.He knew really well what this friend of his had and couldn't help but pity him.Loving the wrong person really brought people misfortune.

The conference was going smoothly.After a few speeches were given,the participants spectated a lot of different activities showing the culture of the hosting country.

Amelie looked at herself in the mirror after washing her hands.She retouched her make up and sighed,resisting the urge to catch the closest flight home.Why was she always hit by an unpleasant situation when everything in her life was going well and perfect?She could barely focus when conversing with those businessmen.

Amelie told herself off in the mirror.This is no time to think of that stupid man!You are working!You have to make money!Keep your head in the game and win!

Just as she went out and walked on the corridor,she was met by a familiar and unpleasant face.

The man wore a dark blue suit and smiled at her warmly,greeting.

"Hi!It's been a long time since we last saw eachother."

Amelie cursed inside her heart.The universe really loved to watch her suffer.
