My Boss, My (Ex) Boyfriend
54. Rumours
Rein was surprised, his eyes were festering between astonishment and fear. For many years living with Dimas, never once did he see this angry Dimas even shout in front of him with a sharp pitched voice. No, Dimas is a gentle person. When he was angry, he would inhabit Rein for some time but not to the point of shouting sharply like this.
"Dim, are you all right?" Rein lowered his tone as gently as possible.
"Guein..." Dimas' anger suddenly evaporated somewhere.
He could not bear to see Rein's terrified expression. Really, he did not intend to shout at her, only that her heart and mind were hard to control. He was angry, very angry today when he found out there were rumors spreading in the company today about Rein and Davin.
He was afraid that Rein was injured again - ah, perhaps more precisely he was afraid that Rein would fall back into Davin's arms. If this was the end then all his efforts to obtain Rein would be in vain and he did not want that to happen.
He wanted to have a full Rein.
"Lo drink water first to make it more comfortable." Rein hurriedly came out of Dimas' restraint, but before he could do so Dimas first pulled Rein and carried him into a hug.
"Dim, lo why, anyway?" Rein doesn't like to be hugged but because Dimas' mood is bad he reluctantly follows what Dimas wants.
Dimas inhaled the fragrance of Rein with opium, combing the short black hair of Rein with his hands. Rein shuddered at being treated like this, though, he moved a little away but Dimas seemed clueless as to what he wanted - or perhaps rather he pretended not to understand what Rein wanted.
"There's a rumor about you at the company." Said Dimas suddenly after being much calmer.
Rein heard him and that was why he became calm. Since becoming Dimas's errand boy in the office, he knew there would one day be people who would get jealous of his position and start making bad rumors.
This is a natural thing that can happen in the world of white collared work.
"What rumors?" Rein pulled away from Dimas' embrace.
Pretending to be busy taking care of the soup that he had neglected just a moment ago.
"Rumor that you're a seductive girl. You're willing to be a coffee deliveryman for Davin so you can be close to him." The story of Dimas with a calm expression, was much calmer than before.
Rein laughed a little.
"It's not too late to get out of there, Rein." Dimas stood beside Rein, looking at the delicious smoke puff from Rein's cooking.
"Gue won't come out." Precisely he could not get out of that company nor out of this city.
He was already trapped here with his past wounds and now the man who created those wounds imprisoned him in this place. Threatened him never to run away.
Rein had been thinking about it since he got home from work. With Davin's threat, he can't do anything. He has to follow what Davin wants while making sure his heart keeps in mind the disappointment of 5 years ago.
"Why, you still can't let him go?" Asked Dimas irritatedly.
For the umpteenth time Rein had to sigh deeply. Dimas's been sensitive since Davin's been in town. Even though Davin is here he will never be able to get back together. His reason?
They already have their own lives and Davin already has a beautiful and sexy fiancee.
Rein could not be compared to that woman.
"Not that, Dim. I was very comfortable there even before Davin became the boss. Ah, I don't want to talk about him anymore. And the issue of rumors about me, just aja and don't think about it. Most of it will be gone." Rein doesn't want to talk about Davin anymore.
But Dimas is jealous, and his jealousy is still not lost even though Rein says he doesn't care.
"Can't Rein, lo-self-esteem"
"Since when have I had my pride, Dim?" Cut Rein with a smile on his face.
"Rein..."
"Gue doesn't want to hear any more rumors, Dimas. If there's pride or no self-esteem, I don't care. You should know that I'm just a rude employee there, and a rude employee has no pride, okay?" Rein cut off Dimas' speech still with a smile on his face.
