Chapter 11

"You're here," said Leah in a formal tone before she gestured for me to sit down with her on the couch inside this VIP room she booked.

When she called me earlier; I was really hesitant to answer the call because I wasn't ready yet to deal with her. I got Francis to do that for me. But since she's already calling, I think it's better to go and talk to her.

She asked me to meet her at the most expensive night club in the city. I don't know why she asked me to be here. I thought that maybe she just needs some drinks or she wants to chill.

I worked for Jackson together with Leah for three years but never did I got a chance to be with her in a night club. We never spend time together, after work, she would always dismiss us all and leave like as if we don't deserve her attention.

I remember the time when I was still working as Jackson's personal assistant. Leah would always shout at me and call me names such as slowpoke and useless. She just wouldn't appreciate everything I do.

I looked at her before I sat down in a single chair in front of her. I saw the disbelief in her eyes before she looks at me with a smirk.

"You don't want to be close to me, huh?" She asked in a mocking tone.

I raised my eyebrows to her. The corner of lips lifted a bit before I sighed. "I'm glad you noticed that," I said.

I saw how she got affected by my words, she clenched her fist.

She was always the reason why Jackson couldn't get to spend time with me.

Which makes me remember the times when Jackson proposed to me. I saw Leah standing over there, watching us.

This makes me suddenly think that maybe Leah's been this loyal to Jackson because there's a feeling involved. Is she in love with Jackson? If yes, I wouldn't be surprised anymore.

Everyone in the crew congratulated us but never did Leah said anything. She was invited to the wedding but she doesn’t look happy at all. But she was still recording everything as if she knew that Jackson would dump me.

”What do you need from me?” I asked her after a long stretch of silence. She pours some wine on her wine glass before she comfortably rested her back to the couch.

The moment I saw her, I already noticed that she was drunk. That may be the reason why she's being blunt from showing me her hatred towards me.

She may be a daughter of a Royal guard from the Palace but I think working beside Jackson made her earn a lot of money making her get whatever she wants now.

”Jackson doesn't even love you, ” she said as she closes her eyes, resting her head to the backrest of the couch. She’s holding the wine glass to her right hand before she crosses her legs.

”What do you really want to talk about, Leah? Don’t waste my time for your nonsense, I didn't come this far just so I could listen to your stupidity.

I don’t know why I’m even here. I came all the way here thinking that having a talk with her would probably going to help me but I think it's important at all. She’s just here looking all so wasted as she drinks her wine.

”You’re so annoying, Kia. You got all the money and the power, you get everything you want in a snap.” she kept on talking and I just looked at her with a poker face.

That's exactly what the people have told me online. That I am powerful that's why I got Jackson to be with me, to even marry me.

"You should be destroying me now but why aren't you doing anything?" She asked in a confused tone before she opened her eyes and look at me straight in the eyes. "Just kill me already," she said in a small tone before tears started rolling down to her cheeks.

I was stunned to see her crying right now. Throughout the years of being with her, she never cried. And now that she’s crying in front of me is making me feel confused and awkward.

”What’s in you that I don’t have? The money? The power? Wealth?” she kept on blabbering before she accidentally spills some of her wine to her dress. I was about to stand up and help her with the mess but when she threw the wine glass to the floor, I stopped myself.

She’s really drunk.

She’s now confirming to me that she really wants Jackson and she hated me for getting the chance to date him.

I no longer wonder why she posted the video online. She really wants to destroy me.

I composed myself and sigh.

But as I looked at her, instead of getting mad for what she did to me and continued my plan of destroying. I'm suddenly feeling bad.

She did things to me because of her love for Jackson. It's all because of her envy towards me. She's been with him for so long, for years, and when I come to the picture, her chance to get him vanished.

We spent two hours inside the VIP room before she passed out. She kept on talking about me and Lumi. Lumi is Jackson's virtual wife from the We Got Married that he is part of.

Although I felt bad towards Leah, I chose to just leave her alone there and just ask the staff of the night club to attend her.

After that, I left the night club and went back home. Even if I want to go to the rest house to check on Prince Jacques, it's already too late and I'm already tired.

I was already done with the bath and ready to sleep already when my phone rang for a call. It's from Melinda.

I answered the call before I sat down to my bed.

"Melinda," I greeted her.

"Why aren't you here?" But the voice is not from Melinda. It was Prince Jacques who called me using Melinda's voice.

"P-prince Jacques," I said. I closed my eyes tightly, wondering why I am even stuttering.

"I need steak but Melinda said that there's no stock anymore. Can you come here and pick some groceries for us."

I rolled my eyes.

"It's already late, can't you wait till tomorrow? Eat something else." I hissed to the phone.

"Alright," that was easy? He just agreed to me like that? "But can you buy me some gummy worms too? Thank you."

After that, he ended the call without even saying goodbye.

I parted my lips.

I can't believe I'm really babying a prince!
