Chapter 9
@--
Serena's POV
"Ninety miles, outside Chicago, can't stop driving I don't know why... so many questions, need an answer, 2yrs. And later you're still on my mind...." (Hey, I liked that song!) Serena sang while passing through the corridors.
She managed to woke up early for she promised Darien she wouldn't be late for today...
She stopped when she remembered something...last night Rei called her for no reason... no, not actually for no reason, she could only hear her sobs, Rei was crying and she didn't know why...
She asked her what was the problem but Rei told her she had to go to sleep already. She didn't know what to do that night... she just can't bear to see one of her best friends suffering.
"I wonder what was her problem? I've never seen nor heard her cry before... I thought things were working well between her and Mr. Diamond Lee... hmmm... I'm gonna punch him if he did something with my friend! "
Oh, Serena, men...you know men don't you...they're the only ones who make women cry... someone said at the back of her mind.
She was slowly reaching Darien's office when she decided to ask Diamond what's going on with Rei... she made her way instead to Diamond's office. She walked in after opening the door and unfortunately left it half-opened...
"Now tell me, Mr. Lee... what's going on with my friend?" She demandingly asked immediately after going in.
"I don't know". He said. He was looking outside the window so Serena was facing his back.
"You, don't know huh?... ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T KNOW???" She asked, anger in her voice. She just can't stand a friend of her is being bullied by a man.
This time, he turned to face her. His face seems so pale and so disappointed, as if he had never eaten since yesterday.... (uh... urr... in fact, he didn't)
"Then, tell me what happened". The anger in her voice changed into a soft caring tone, she just felt those two need her help.
"I know how to listen". She added.
Diamond told her what happened yesterday. Actually, Rei caught him red- handed. He was taking women in his room. They had much of fun not knowing Rei was watching him. He said that he really loved Rei, that he was such a fool for not knowing it at first.... For playing with girl's heart. He said that he thought he really wasn't in love with her so he took her for granted.
"Oh well, I'm such a butthead. You know they are right, you'll only learn one's true value when that thing is already gone." He said.
She hugged him close for she didn't know how to comfort him. Hoping she could think of something to make them be together again. She could tell he's really serious about Rei, so she felt that she didn't have the right to get mad at him.
"What should I do... I don't know what to say to him, not even what to say to Rei... but I know I have to do something... I know I just have to do something". She said to herself.
Darien's POV
Darien was walking on the corridors towards his office. Hoping to see Serena's smile again that will brighten his day.
"I can't wait to see her again". He said to himself.
Urrh.. that kiss yesterday was so great!!! ... Right, this time, I definitely have to make her mine, and mine only... He had a devilish grin in his lips.
He continued to stroll down the corridors slowly reaching his office when he noticed Diamond's office door was open. Diamond was his rival since college. He was also a businessman and like Darien, he was also a heartbreaker... For him, it wasn't really a big deal if his rival brings so many girls on his office, as if he cares...well, he doesn't... he just wants to sneak around and see the type of girls Diamond would bring.
"Hmmm... he's here... it's been a while since he brought a woman after the other who left her underwear under his table...Well, let's see who's the next victim." He said smiling.
But what he saw made his jaw dropped. His smile turned into a frown! Seeing Serena in the arms of his rival. He never thought such thing could happen to him. He felt something struck his heart. He felt pain.
He didn't want to see what would happen next. He headed to his office.
There he saw Beryl waiting.
"What do you want?" he asked annoyed.
Serena's POV
"At last... we've got a way... all we have to do is to bring Rei at the bar tonight, they would talk and clear what really happened and in a flick of a finger things would just be great. I know they love each other so even if they try to get away...love will just find a way... what am I thinking??? It isn't me today... oh wait, yeah, but of course I will leave those two and I'll ask Darien to accompany me tonight, that would be great!" She said as she walks towards the office door of Darien.
@--
She opened the door excitedly but when she opened the door, she saw Darien sitting on his own chair but what was in his lap turned her excitement into jealousy. She saw Beryl, again sitting on Darien's lap.
She was really jealous though she didn't want that to admit that to herself, she was even wondering if there wasn't enough chair on Darien's office, that this Beryl have to sit on his lap.
"Why is she here?" Beryl asked proudly.
"It's because I work here." Serena answered back quickly.
She looked at Darien hoping he could say something but Darien wasn't really paying attention.
Beryl and Serena both looked at him hoping him to take one's side but he didn't answer.
Serena's mouth flew open waiting for an answer, but there was silence.
Serena can't take the situation as she knows that there was something wrong with Darien.
"Umm... I have to go... Darien, I never thought you had a visitor, so I'm really sorry." Serena said, the sight of the two was just killing her.
It was Darien's turn.
"Really, you don't have to go since you're already here..." he said, as he kissed Beryl, but his eyes weren't closed. It was surely looking at Serena and looking at what would her reaction be. It was the way of taking revenge on Serena.
Serena's eyes grew bigger before she finally pout her lips, he saw a paper and color pen on a desk near her, she gave a weak smile before she said "well, I might as well... leave you two with a sign of don't disturb".
Yes, please! Beryl said breaking the kiss just for a while.
"Bitch!" She mumbled. Before writing something in a paper.
"Well, have a not-so-good time!" she said.
"As I promised!" she said before she posted the paper on the door with writings: "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!! Ms. BERYL'S GIVING AWAY MONEY FOR FREE!!!, TRY NOT TO DISTURB THEM OR YOU WON'T GET ANY!!! : P (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything to write! LOL!)
"hmf! Let's see who won't get disturbed!!! Well, they'll surely have a good time..." she said to herself although she nearly cried seeing Darien with that girl.
Darien was confused, he doesn't know if what he did was right. He still thinks Serena was just breaking his heart, that she was cheating him. He didn't know why but his heart and body was telling him to go after Serena and so he did.
He stood up forgetting someone was sitting on his lap and went after her.
Ouch!!! What The hell... Beryl said stunned.
Darien didn't bother to help her. He was surely rushing for Serena, he opened the door where a big crowd was waiting. He could do nothing but smile when he saw what was at the door. He avoided the crowd that was rushing towards Beryl. So Beryl couldn't go after him.
Tsk... tsk... really THAT GIRL... He said smiling as he run through the corridors.

Hey, hey... stop!! Don't move. Darien said when he saw Serena walking faster every time he's near. There were now outside the building, still walking continuously.
"Hey? I have a name, and I'm not gonna' stop since you're not a police officer to order me around like that!!" She said not looking back at him.
"And now you're being stubborn?" He said.
"Huh? I'm being STUBBORN???" She said while she stopped looking at him.
The two of them stared blankly at each other.
"What's with you and Mr. Lee?" Darien asked breaking the silence.
"So, that's what's this all about huh? She sighed. Nothing!"She added.
"Please be honest."
"Nothing, believe me." She said.
"WHAT I MEAN IS, what's between the two of us?" He asked seriously yet proud.
There was silence.
Serena punched him hard on the face leaving Darien puzzled.
"Hey, why'd you do that for?" he asked holding his hurting jaw, confused.
"Nothing... I just felt I had the need to punch you." She gave him the I- can't-believe-you look together with a weak smile.
"That's for not knowing what's going on between us which practically means not knowing what you really feel!" She added. "I can't believe, no I should've believe it at first, that I'm just one of YOUR girls whom you have had this so called 'what's going on relationship' huh?" This time she was really mad. She doesn't know if Darien was just toying with her. Just because he saw her with Diamond, he changed his mind about Serena. She couldn't believe she thought she could change Darien and his selfish ways. It was too good to be true.
She just gave a sigh with matching eye-rolls.
"I think we're just confused with our lives, that we don't even know where to go... why don't you go your way, then I'll go mine... maybe we're not just meant for each other. Somehow though, I think we're gonna' be just fine." She said hiding any emotions that Darien might figure out.
"FINE, if that's what you want." He said expressionless.
Serena just slowly nodded her head and gave a weak smile but deep inside her was asking her if she's really gonna' be fine.
"Bye" she muttered. She turned back before Darien could see tears coming from her eyes and walked away as fast as she can.
"Man, what did you just do?" He said to himself, as he stood spooked there for a very long time.
