Sweet Revenge's
Chapter 58: Good Bye ...

Gaea did not expect Eryk to be waiting at the airport, and Eryk's look was so different than usual, just wearing a black leather jacket with a gray turtle neck interior made his field chest imprinted there, pants wrapped in sturdy legs Eryk was just ordinary jeans combined with clean black shoes that fit the size of the man's feet.

Eryk looks younger with that look, and looks more human.

Eryk glanced at Gaea, taking a bouquet of flowers he bought from a small shop a short distance away from his hotel, where he often bought flowers, there was a middle-aged mother still selling flowers with a generous smile, she gave it to Gaea.

Gaea glanced at the bouquet of pink orchids, suddenly her mind flashed a beautiful memory with Rey who also used to give her a bouquet of pink orchids. He glanced at the owner of the blue eyes in front of him, a small speck of longing suddenly appeared in his heart.

Rey.

Gaea shook her head, taking the bouquet from Eryk's white hands, inhaling a sprig of flowers. "Why did you buy this? Thank you, Eryk."

Eryk smiled slightly; Gaea still liked to ask even though it was clear that it was an apology from him due to last night. "For last night. I'm really sorry."

Eryk apologized, what a rare thing, this could be a good step in their relationship as well.

"I'm sorry too" Gaea said.

Eryk nodded.

They glanced at each other softly despite a smile etched on their lips, trying to stay strong together.

As Eryk said, there is no point in tears, this is not goodbye.

"Take care of yourself" said Eryk softly.

"You too, Eryk," said Gaea.

Eryk glanced at Rainer at last. "So he's Rainer, that's your job now."

Rainer without hesitation nodded. "I'll do well, Eryk."

Eryk did not linger, looking at Gaea again, who had been with him for almost a week, his brain clearly remembered how they had first met after so long ....

Flashbacks

***

Eryk stood looking out the window, watching the slow-moving white clouds in the blue sky, waiting for the arrival of the young lady who had an interview with him, he tried to remain calm taking a deep breath.

The woman he will be interviewing is no ordinary woman, she is the woman he once stopped in his deepest heart, who often fulfilled his tireless dreams for years before Katherine's arrival.

Gaea Silva's.

Naturally, if Eryk is a little nervous, he is also an ordinary man is not a successful man who is perfect from all sides. He tasted success must be built first because his father left a legacy of not much money.

Various jobs have been done by him, from the simplest, to the simplest, selling newspapers around the housing complex with his friend's used bicycle to do the dirty work of selling drugs even though he did it once because he was trapped by his friend also under false pretenses offered to work in the supermarket.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

Eryk took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Get in."

The sound of open and closed door squeaks followed by the sound of light shoes slowly filled his work room.

"Excuse me."

Eryk tightened his folded hand on his chest to hear such a beautiful and familiar feminine voice in his ears.

Gaea is here.

How long had Eryk held himself back from meeting Gaea? Ten years? The same time as his father's departure, the next day he left Gaea's life as well, blaming Gaea selfishly because before his father was killed, he was doing his duty as a Bodyguard.

"Mister?"

Eryk returned to the real world hearing Gaea's sweet voice again. "Come here."

With no answer but the sound of walking shoes closer to him, Eryk could feel from the smell of strawberry perfume that Gaea obeyed his orders, the scent of simple perfume that Eryk strangely liked because it matched Gaea.

"Yes?"

Eryk finally turned his head to look at the figure of the little girl whom he had longed for for so many years, stared at the pair of emerald green eyes that were so beautiful, remained the same as before, unchanged, still exuding a beautiful gleam of his emerald, finally his eyes looked at Gaea's body which was now almost as tall as himself the effect of the black heels fitted right at the woman's feet.

Gaea changed from a little girl to a beautiful young woman. There was no plain face left in Gaea even the two pigtails that became the hallmark of the woman was absent, replaced by a long hair style decomposed covering the chest that had also matured.

"Mister?"

Eryk again raised his eyes, and again realized that Gaea's body looked so thin as to rarely eat, he wondered what the money he sent to Lola was lacking? He approached Gaea, raising her chin. "Have you ever heard of the custom of courtesy to your superiors?"

Gaea threw away her face of embarrassment, unable to look long at Eryk's blue eyes at this close distance. "I know Mister, it's just—"

"When you speak, look into the eyes of your opponent, Miss Gaea Silva," Eryk said, raising Gaea's chin to look at her, as if something was still missing, and that was Gaea's shy side.

Gaea ventured again to look into Eryk's eyes and somehow saw the sky blue eyes of his prospective superiors made him remember the figure of Rey who missed him. "Yes." Yeah."

Eryk saw a red hue adorning Gaea's white cheeks, but the woman's expression seemed to be frightened of him? Strange, but satisfying at the same time, he is happy that if people fear him, he makes him feel respected. "You're wasting your time being my subordinate, what if you're just being my filler?"

Gaea's eyes widened at the sudden offer, even to reassure her, Eryk placed his other hand on her hip moving it full of unstoppable desire, waking Gaea's body to something even hotter.

"Hows it? I can give you more money than just working at the club" said Eryk fishing, enjoying Gaea's expression, and he brought their faces closer to the limit of their noses touching each other. "You just have to stay home, be mine. Your body, your voice, even your heart. Mine. We are equally satisfied ...."

'It's harassment!'

Gaea with all her might pushed Eryk away from him, with a hunting breath, he said out loud, "Don't get me wrong Mister! I came here to apply for a job instead of seducing you let alone being your mistress! I can sue you about this."

Eryk chuckled softly, that was what he expected, a rejection. "You're welcome to work here, Miss Gaea Silva."

"Eh?" Gaea was surprised not to play. "I .. accepted?"

Eryk nodded. "I did it was just a test. You know it's not uncommon for women to fail because I tease them when there's been a test officer who said that it's forbidden to perform sexual acts on anyone including your boss."

"I see, Mister," said Gaea quietly; so this interview is just a test against Eryk's deadly temptations? He could not blame the women who failed because Eryk's temptation was almost to get him stuck, every touch of his boss was so satisfying, and his offer was tempting as well. Then he coughed.

Luring?

Has he gone mad? Selling himself to a tempting Eryk? She's not that kind of woman!

"You can come back tomorrow, someone will train you, come in the morning at eight, meet the employee who tested you, Carla."

Gaea nodded, happily accepted to work also finally, a count helped Lola, "Thank you, Mister."

"My name is Eryk Enzo" said Eryk.

"Thank you, Mister Eryk."

Eryk nodded. "Please go back downstairs and complete the contract."

Gaea nodded in understanding, bowed in embarrassment as she inserted a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Accepted to work and it seems that his heart also unknowingly accepted Eryk.

"Eryk?"

There's no answer.

"Geek!"

"What?" Eryk replied at last, "Can you not shout, Gaea?"

"I have, but you remain unconscious so I resort to yelling" Gaea said.

Eryk did not understand, suddenly his eyes were fixed on Gaea's body, then smiled with satisfaction that now Gaea's body was contained, far from the first time they met first.

Gaea followed Eryk's chest gaze, hurriedly closing his jacket. "You pervert! What are you thinking while looking at my body!?"

Eryk rolled his eyeballs. He admitted Gaea was wearing a tight T-shirt featuring beautiful curves, only he was not interested. "You pervert, what are you thinking? I just realized your body is more contained."

"You're saying I'm fat!?" exclaim Gaea does not believe.

"Filled and fat are different, Gaea," said Eryk inexhaustible, but the atmosphere was good, but destroyed again because of Gaea's negative thoughts.

"We need to get to the checkpoint immediately" Rainer said.

"Oh." Gaea so forgot about his main goal, he glanced at Eryk wistfully.

"Don't put that face on, we can still get in touch over the phone" Eryk said, trying to comfort Gaea and himself.

"I know, I'm just sad, I can't see you and the others" said Gaea who knows how many times.

Eryk sighed.

Women are much harder to accept than men seem to be true.

Eryk thought for a moment, thinking about what could make Gaea unable to forget him considering that the woman would spend time with Rainer made him honestly uncomfortable.

An idea came up, a pretty good idea for him, Gaea and his plans going forward.

This idea would be a bit of a mess later especially Katherine, but Eryk remembered that this airport was the place where the two of them started it all.

Their fake fiancee.

Following his instincts, Eryk walked closer to Gaea, ending the distance between the two of them, and claimed the woman's lips were soft.

Gaea was surprised not to play, before then reply that unfortunately Eryk had ended it, just to stick it for a while, disappointing him, although he could still feel Eryk's soft lips touch it, making his heartbeat pounding fast.

"Go away," said Eryk gently. "We'll be fine."

Gaea looked at Eryk for a moment, so much she wanted to say, yet she swallowed all of it and nodded, then turned around, clasped tightly onto her suitcase, walking to the examination section.

"Good bye ...."
