Memory Of Love
The Part 40
"What are you talking about? Do you think I made this plan, and then I'll run away, and leave the responsibility to you?" ask Casey.
Casey begins to feel resentful, because Aaron who seems to be doubting the responsibility of Casey.
"Wait a minute! ... You seem to have misunderstood ... I mean, I'm worried in case you intend to just grow this company, then move to the Roberts group" Aaron said.
"I want this company to grow more like your plan, as long as you are with me to make it happen....
... And it's not that you let me do it alone, and then you just move on to Roberts' group" Aaron continued.
"Aaron! ... Didn't you already know?! If later, sooner or later, I will definitely replace my Grandpa in the Roberts group....
... Then why are you talking like this? Are you willing to waste the investment, which Roberts gave the group in this company?" said Casey, who felt suspicious.
Aaron, who was then silent for a while, only made Casey's patience almost disappear.
"Aaron! ... Tell me the truth, what are you thinking?" ask Casey, ketus.
"Are you planning on getting Steve to take your place here?" Aaron asked back.
Casey folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at Aaron closely, and said, saying,
"If so, then what's the problem? Isn't that my business and Roberts' group?"
It feels like Casey is getting more and more upset with Aaron at the moment.
"That's right, if you're planning to quickly move to Roberts' group?" ask Aaron, again.
"Geez!" Casey shook his head.
"Aaron! ... Whether I stay here, or move to the Roberts group, that's my choice. And you can't manage it, or worry about it" Casey said.
"Aren't you going to consider it again?"
According to Casey, the question from Aaron was, as if Aaron did not want if Steve worked at R&H Corp.
But what was the biggest reason for Aaron's refusal?
Does Aaron just not like Steve's whereabouts?
"Do you feel intimidated by Steve?" casey asked, trying to lure Aaron in, so he could talk openly.
However, Casey's efforts seem to be in vain. Because Aaron just fell silent, and seemed to lock his mouth tightly.
"You shouldn't worry too much about anything else. Just focus your attention on your duties in this company," Casey said, then stood up from his seat.
"I think our conversation is enough. About the shareholders' general meeting, it will be considered when the time is, if all company anniversary activities are over," Casey continued.
Casey reaches out her hand, directing Aaron out of Casey's study.
However, Aaron did not immediately move from his seat.
With his quick movements and no cue, Aaron actually pulled Casey who was not aware, until Casey sat on his lap.
"Hey! ... What the hell are you doing? Unhand me!" casey said, moving wildly, trying to get away from Aaron.
"Casey! ... Casey, stop it! ... Relax for a moment! I'm not gonna do anything bad!" said Aaron, who hugged Casey tightly, so Casey couldn't fight him.
Casey kept trying to fight back, but Aaron further tightened his embrace, saying,
"Listen to me first! ... You can call me as you like to talk about work. Then once you are satisfied with your wish, then you banish me from here?
... Then what about me? I'm not your errand boy. I have feelings too. I have something to talk to you about. So, just calm down for a second! I'm not gonna hurt you."
Casey finally relented, then sat quietly on Aaron's lap.
Aaron's breathing sounded heavy, as the man exhaled, and hit Casey's neck.
"You're making me really anxious. To the point that I ran out of the house, thinking nothing of it anymore, other than thinking about your circumstances....
... I'm so worried, if you don't wake up, like that time. I don't know if I'll be able to see you unconscious for a long time" Aaron said.
"Aaron! ... Don't you hate me?! So don't pretend, as if you're worried about me!" sahut Casey's.
"Pffit...!" Spontaneously, Casey laughed stifledly.
Although he was feeling upset, Casey could not hold the tingling sensation in his neck, when Aaron's nose was touched there, along with a gust of air from Aaron's breath, which spread into his back.
"Stay away from me! ... Pfft...! ... My neck is so ticklish!" With a quivering voice, Casey spoke with a laugh, and shrugged both of her shoulders, to cover part of her neck.
However, Aaron actually seems to deliberately continue his behavior, so that Casey still feels tickled, and laughs until weak because of it.
"Haha! ... Aaron! ... Haha! ... Stop it!" casey said, while still trying to avoid Aaron.
"Hey! ... Didn't you hear me?" asked Casey, who was already feeling limp, for feeling amused and laughing too much.
Suddenly, Aaron held Casey's face to the side, then kissed Casey's lips.
And the awakened Casey, immediately turned her face away, avoiding Aaron's kiss.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" ask Casey, ketus.
Like a light puppet, Aaron shifted Casey, sitting sideways on his lap, and said, saying,
"I'm going crazy...."
With my eyes, Aaron stared fixedly at Casey.
"I went crazy, seeing the way you looked at Steve. You used to see me like that. I was so jealous of Steve that I wanted to make him disappear from your side forever....
...I don't know where it went, your loving gaze for me could disappear. But I want you to see me like that again....
... I love you, Casey. I'll keep trying, and do whatever you want, so you can love me again" Aaron continued.
"You've got to be kidding! ... Do you think that I'm so stupid that I can trust your code so easily?" casey said, cynical.
"Casey! ... I was the stupid one, because I had wasted the opportunity I had. And I really regret it" said Aaron.
"I've guessed, that you wouldn't just believe me. But I'll prove it to you, if I really love you" Aaron continued.
"That's enough! ... I don't want to know! Don't even think about talking about this again! Or trying to find a chance! Because I love Steve....
... And you better get on with your romance with Julie. Until the time is right to call off our engagement" Casey said.
"No!" sahut Aaron, firm.
"Ugh?" Casey flinched, and stared fixedly at Aaron, frowning.
"Do you think that I would accept the annulment of our engagement? Did you think I'd just hand you over to Steve?
...In fact, if you don't give me a chance, then I will ask that our marriage be held immediately. And I think your Grandpa would agree....
...Especially if I tell her, if you're worried about marrying me, because of Steve. Just imagine what would happen to Steve....
... I don't care, even though you married me for being forced to. Because I'm sure, if we're married, sooner or later, then you'll definitely accept my love" Aaron said.
"Basic*jerk!" casey said, with a trembling voice, so angry.
"Don't be mad, Casey!" sahut Aaron, wiry.
Aaron then hugged Casey tightly, and leaned his face on one of Casey's shoulders.
"I threatened you, because I just wanted you to give me a chance. So that I can make you, open your heart to me" Aaron said.
"If you give me that chance, and I still fail, then I'll let you stay with Steve....
... Even if it's your wish, I'll help you to cancel our engagement, without causing any chaos" Aaron continued.
"What kind of opportunity do you want?" ask Casey, cynical.
Although Casey spoke in a hateful tone of voice, Aaron still seemed to be able to be seen back excited.
Aaron lifted his head, and with a smile, and looked at Casey fixedly, Aaron then said, saying,
"Treat me like you treat Steve. Let me get close to you. Take and accompany you for a walk. Spend time with me. And once in a while, let me hug and kiss you."
