Crimson's Revenge

"The conference ended up being the premiere showcase of the music video which made the killed two birds with one stone [1] quite right on the mark. We have saved up money on the campaign for the video since the media would be doing that, also we've cleared up the misunderstanding between you two." Hue had explained

"That reporter didn't take into account a teaser would be shown in a span of days which usually takes weeks too finished. As the production team included in Crimson's music videos does not have definite timeframe for releasing our videos, Mon [2] didn't expect this result." Wisteria inserted

"When the people inside the room finish watching the video their faces was in different shades of red in shame of being duped by the phony reporter. Mon had unknowingly left while the commotion was happening." Hue continued.

While Reen was feeling upset by Mon escaping Hue and Wisteria stared at each other with an evil smile on their faces.

"Whoever hurts our precious baby will have to pay for it no matter how small the matter is." They echoed each other's thought.

They reassured Reen that whatever happens to Mon will be God's punishment for his misdeeds. Understanding the hidden meaning behind their words she nodded and completely forgot about him.

The initial release of the new "Crimson" image gathered a lot of new fans for her. Many could not help but have great expectations for the final release in the upcoming days rendering Reen and Chad to be busy promoting it a few days ago.

Reen signed remembering such things while scanning the fictional section book shelves, she then unknowingly bumped into another person.

"Aw, I'm sorry." She looked up to find Sae looking down at her, she instinctively grasp her red puzzle piece pendant to calm her wreck nerves.

"Reen...." Sae said

Reen stared stupidly at him. She didn't know what to do, she didn't want to deal with everything now, there was just too much things on her plate [3] for this situation to add more pressure onto her.

The headaches would come back if she thought too much at one time. She crookedly and nervously smiled at him.

"I – I –got to go." She hurriedly said, she tightly squeezed the strap of her shoulder bag and was about to leave when Sae grab hold of her hand.

"Reen, please wait!"

Reen stop on her tracks.

"Please stay and let's talk about this."

They were surrounded by the bookshelves and no one was around giving them the privacy they needed.

Silence engulfed them. Reen bowed her head and stared at the hand that was holding her back; Sae ignored her stares and merely held it tightly willing her to give him her undivided attention.

Reen flinching from the bitterness in his voice, Sae didn't mean to say it that way, he didn't mean to blame Reen. He knew he was at fault as well, if he trusted her more even without finding the truth then they wouldn't be in this situation

"Reen... I ... I didn't mean it that way... What I meant to say is..." he released his tight grip and ruffled his hair in exasperation they were too many things he wanted to say but was having a hard time saying anything at all.
