Sweet Surrender Ep 4

Theon:- I never asked you this, but. What's your major in university? If you don't mind telling me, what are you studying for the future? 

**He asked this after getting comfortable talking to her.**

Sara:- Fashion designing. I'll be joining Rosett (her father's company) after my graduation. That's why.

Theon:- Oh, that's good. It's good that you are going to work with your father. But did he suggest that you study fashion designing? or was it your own decision?

Sara:- Studying fashion designing was my decision. Working with dad after my graduation is his decision.

Theon:- What about your mom? Did she want you to study fashion designing too?

Sara:- She is fine with anything.

Theon:- It's good that your parents support you in anything.

**He tried to be friendly and talked to her more. He is slowly letting his guard down and talking about his personal life more than before. He seems to be slowly warming up to her.**

**Time passes by. A few months went by in an eye's blink. It's been 6 months since their wedding. Their relationship is quite like a friendly roommate. He converse with her warmly while she replies calmly. They both gave each other their personal space and respected their choice of not taking their relationship further. He was also quite happy with his gf too. until one day, Theon went to surprise Emma at her office. When he was about to enter, he heard her talking with someone.**

Unknown girl:- Aaa. Emma! you're so lucky getting a rich and blind bf like him. He gives priority to you over his wife. Wow. Well, are you really gonna marry him after his divorce?

Emma:- What? No. Never. I'm never gonna be someone's second wife. I'm just using him. He is really blind. He can't see that I'm just enjoying his money.

**Theon immediately stopped in his tracks. He couldn't believe what he heard. He never thought she would say something like this. It seemed like all the time he spent with her was a lie. It seemed like she never loved him in the first place. It seemed like she was just using him for his money. He was too shocked to speak. He turned around and started walking away from the place. His phone rings. It was a call from Emma.**

Emma:- Hey my love. Is everythings alright? You said I would get a surprise by morning today. When I will get that, hmm?

**Theon was even more shocked after hearing this. He quietly hears her saying this. She seems like she doesn't know where she went wrong. She seems like she really doesn't know she did something wrong. He then realized that he can't tell her what he just heard and has to act like nothing has happened. So he took a deep breath and answered her. **

Theon:- Yes, Emma. I'm fine. Everything is alright. I got caught up in some important business this morning, so I couldn't send your gift. 

Emma:- That's good to hear that you are fine. What are you doing right now, my love?

Theon:- Nothing much, Emma. Just going to have lunch. Nothing too exciting.

Emma:- Alright, my love. Have fun. You know I still love you, don't you? Bye.

**Theon puts the phone down. He is still disturbed by what he heard. He is still thinking. He is still in a dilemma.**

Theon's POV:- I loved you so much Emma. How could you use me? You're such a liar.

**He didn't go back to his office, instead he went to a club and drank until night. He went home all drunk by midnight. On the other hand, it was midnight when the calling bell rang, Sara opened the entrance of the apartment and found Theon standing at the door all drunk leaning at the wall.**
