Got confused again
CHAPTER 54.2
GOT CONFUSED AGAIN
Anton woke up early. He didn't wait for Ariella to wake up. As usual, he left notes so that she would know why he left early.
When Ariella woke up, she immediately looked for Anton until she noticed the notes. She didn't overthink anymore because she already knew where Anton was.
According to the notes, he is in a meeting today and about to meet some of their business partners in another place.
She still intended to visit Anton at the office when she found out that he was not there.
She has no choice but to stay at home again and wait for him to come home. The notes did not indicate what time he would return home.
Meanwhile, Anton is in a business meeting. There he met Cindy's fiance who would become their business partner.
In an unexpected moment, he also saw Cindy there with her fiance.
His fiance even introduced Cindy to them. Maybe he didn't remember her when they first met at the bar. Maybe he doesn't even know that he is his fiance's ex.
It took hours before their meeting ended. They will also have lunch together at a famous private resto-bar. He did not mention in the notes that they would have lunch together and he expected that there would be liquor.
They are happy together there. Full of conversation and laughter while eating and drinking.
Anton didn't notice the passing of time as it was almost night.
Almost all of them were drunk. Anton was not that drunk. He only drank a little alcohol. He can still go home to Ariella.
He had said goodbye to go home but his colleagues stopped him, so he had no choice but to grant their request.
Even though he's had a few shots of alcohol, he's not that drunk yet.
He went out for a while to throw up the wine he drank and to clean himself up.
Outside the restaurant, on the side, he forced himself to throw up until someone rubbed his back. It helps him to vomit everything.
"Thanks a lot," he said without knowing that it was Cindy. He was shocked when he saw her.
"How's your feeling?" she asked.
"What are you doing here? You have to go back inside," he said worriedly.
"I j-just h-helped you to make you feel better and to make you vomit-"
"What will they think of what you did?" he asked.
"I'm sorry. I-im s-sorry,” he stammered.
"You are drunk. Go back to your fiance and go home."
"Let's go home," he said and cooed like a child.
Anton was shocked again so he almost pushed Cindy away. He didn't fall down.
"What are you saying? What do you think you're doing, Cindy?”
"W-why did you push me?" she asked with her pouty lips. "Lets go home. I'm sleepy and t-tired," she added and was about to approach Anton again to hug him. Good thing he got Cindy away from him.
"Stop acting, Cindy. You're just drunk. I am not your fiance. Tell him that," he said.
“Why a-are you saying that? Y-you are m-my fiance.”
He didn't say anything more and left. He wasn't even able to say goodbye to his colleagues because of Cindy.
He didn't know that Cindy followed him to the parking lot until he noticed someone following him.
He saw her struggling to walk because of her drunkenness.
"Cindy, why are you following me?!" soft but emphatic words so that they do not hear.
"W-why are you l-leaving me alone here?"
He tightly closed his eyes and tried to understand her situation right now.
He approached her, saying, "Cindy, Listen to me, okay? I am not your fiance. You have to go back inside because your fiance is waiting for you there."
Cindy didn't speak so she was about to leave when Cindy suddenly hugged her which shocked her a lot but she didn't push Cindy away.
"I missed you," she weakly said which she clearly heard. 3 words only but that caused him to freeze suddenly.
After a few moments he came back to his senses so he gently pushed him away from him.
"Anton, don't leave me," she begged.
He gasps.
"Go back inside, Cindy. I am sorry but I have to go," he said before getting into the car. He hasn't driven yet.
He just stopped inside the car for a few minutes as if thinking deeply, while Cindy was still standing there.
After a while he drove away.
His mind was repeatedly haunted by the events of earlier. He couldn't concentrate on driving but still managed to get home safely.
He did not notice the passage of time. Ariella was already asleep when she got home.
He changed before sleeping next to Ariella.
He fell asleep quickly because he drank alcohol.
The whole night passed until the morning came.
He still woke up early like before but he will go to the office later.
He was already awake at five in the morning. He tried to sleep again but he couldn't feel sleepy anymore especially when he remembered what happened last night.
He got up and left the room for a while and went to the lobby. He lay on the sofa until he fell asleep again.
It was six o'clock in the morning. He woke up and wondered how he ended up in the lobby until he remembered why he fell asleep here.
He got up and went straight to the dining room. He caught up with Ariella and Nanny Yel there.
"Good morning, Sir."
"Good morning. Are you hungry?"
He approached her and was about to kiss her but he remembered that he hadn't even been able to brush his teeth yet.
He hurriedly went upstairs to brush his teeth first. Ariella was left confused.
After a couple of minutes, he came back. It could be traced on his face that he has washed and brushed his teeth.
"Good morning," he greeted, then kissed her.
Ariella was still wondering and she could feel something strange with him again. In addition, he didn't come home early last night. No calls, no texts. She was very surprised by that until now.
She just follows Anton while preparing their breakfast.
"Let's eat together," he said and sat on the chair.
Ariella sat down but she was not in the mood because of what was on her mind. Something seems really different about Anton now, that's what's on her mind.
Actually, he was still awake last night because she was waiting for Anton. She just lay down and pretended to be asleep. She knows what time Anton comes home. She didn't even know that he would come home at such an hour. He didn't even text or call so that she wouldn't worry and wait for him.
In addition to that, she knew he was drunk because she smelled him but she didn't speak.
Until now, she was waiting for Anton to tell her why he came home at such a late hour and where he came from and who he was with.
But Anton seems unlikely to say that.
He hurriedly ate and said goodbye to Ariella.
"I'm going to the office, my wife. Don't wait for me, okay?" he said, then kissed her and went straight upstairs.
After a few minutes, he returned to the kitchen where Ariella was still there. Shr eats alone with wonders and instincts in her mind.
"I'm leaving, my wife. Please take care of yourself," he said and kissed her again.
Ariella just smiled and watched him leave.
