BECOME AN ANTAGONIST
#57
Lara and Phoenix are in the car. There was no chatter from them as usual.
When they arrived at the apartment, they got out of the car simultaneously. Phoenix no longer held Lara's hand.
Lara is now walking behind Phoenix. Lara was a little annoyed that Phoenix now seemed to ignore her again.
Upon arriving on the floor of their apartment, Phoenix also came out first from the elevator.
"Get in your room" Phoenix said when he was at his door.
"Why are you taking me home?" ask Lara flat.
"Velvet asked for my help to take care of you. At least this naughty little girl was safely in her apartment and I did my job well" replied Phoenix, who then walked in and pushed the door button.
Lara finally went inside her apartment. I don't know why he was a little upset about it. Phoenix completely ignored him.
Lara threw her bag resentfully onto the floor and headed for the living room. He laid himself down on his soft sofa and his eyes looked out the large window that had its curtains open.
Tomorrow he will meet with the Phoenix company. Is Phoenix still not coming to the meeting tomorrow? I don't know, Lara doesn't know either.
"Did that night mean nothing to you?" lara muttered and closed her eyes and hugged her own body.
"It seems I'm stuck playing my own game. I want it so much right now. And he ignored me."

The next morning, Lara was already preparing to go to her company. He left a little late because he felt a little unwell.
Lara had already quit smoking and she was quite tormented by it. That's what makes him a little nervous when he really wants to smoke.
Lara comes out of her apartment and doesn't see Phoenix. Lara guessed, Phoenix will not come to their company meeting again.
"You healthy, Miss?" asked Gonza who saw Lara a little pale.
"Hmm, I just can't smoke and it makes me nervous" Lara replied on the passenger bench.
"Later you will get used to it" Gonza said.
Upon arrival at the company, Lara went straight into the meeting room. Lara walked into the room and saw that Phoenix was already sitting there.
Lara just stared coldly at the Phoenix as well as the Phoenix.
Lara and Phoenix were both professionals and the meeting that day went smoothly.
Lara came out after the meeting and did not look at Phoenix. For a while Lara would avoid Phoenix and think about what her next move would be.
Lara arrived in her room and immediately sat down because her head was a little dizzy.
He took his phone and called Gonza.
"Bring me a headache medicine that is safe and not too hard to dose" said Lara.
"Alright, Miss," replied Gonza.
Lara finally got out of her chair and headed for the sofa. He can't take his headache anymore.
"I really want to smoke" Lara said.
Lara slept curled up on her couch while holding her dizzy head.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on Lara's door but Lara did not press her thinking it must have been Gonza bringing her medicine.
At last the door opened and we heard footsteps coming towards Lara.
"Why have you been so long. Quickly get her water on my desk, Gonza," said Lara, still curled up on the couch.
"You sick?" ask the voice that Lara doesn't want to hear right now.
"No," answered Lara and opened her eyes and sat down and walked to her great chair again with slow steps.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you still want to ask about the meeting?" asked Lara who was trying hard to hold back the dizziness in her head.
"Velvet didn't tell you? He told me to take you to our family mansion. He's in New Jersey right now" Phoenix replied.
Lara looked towards Phoenix while holding her dizzy head.
