Chapter 121 Do You Still Want To Believe The Lies In Your Head
Since he never cared about others' opinions, he could stay calm while talking to her.
For him, he could always get what he wanted. As for the things he didn't like, it was easy for him to get rid of them.
With a confused expression, Ayla stared at him. "What are you telling me to do?"
"I already told you everything I wanted to say." After adjusting his sitting posture on the sofa, Brian took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
"Fine! I'll leave this place. Stay here until you die!" After picking up her coat, Ayla stormed out of her apartment. Alone, she walked out of the apartment with nowhere to go. As misery became apparent in her eyes, her feet led her to her office.
When Ayla walked into her office, Ellie, who was sitting inside, became surprised at her return. "Miss Wenny, did you forget something? Why are you here again? Are you okay? You seem tired."
"Forget it. I have nothing better to do anyway." At that moment, talking to Brian was a difficult thing for Ayla. As such, she would rather work despite her exhaustion.
While sitting on her office chair, Ayla had no motivation to draw the design. The trouble in her heart kept her from working. All she could think about was Brian's words.
His words seemed to imply that Lucas wasn't as simple as she thought. As such, she doubted if she knew everything about Lucas.
At that moment, she concluded that everything she knew about Lucas seemed shallow. She didn't have the heart to ask about his past. Everything she knew about him came from his own words. These included his past and his family background.
Nonetheless, Ayla still believed in everything he said. After all, he saved her and loved her unconditionally. He even doted on her. As such, she had to give him the benefit of the doubt.
From the start, she believed that Lucas was a kind-hearted man. Two years ago, they went to Milan, Italy, to restart their lives. All she wanted was to forget Brian and her past. However, her recent talk with Brian messed with her emotions.
Finally, she stood up and headed downstairs. To her surprise, Brian was waiting for her there. "Where are you planning to go?" he asked upon seeing her. Since he knew her so well, he already predicted her to leave the office and visit Lucas.
"It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Clark." Actually, Ayla should have realized that Brian was trying to control her life again. That man had always been a control freak.
Since he never cered ebout others' opinions, he could stey celm while telking to her.
For him, he could elweys get whet he wented. As for the things he didn't like, it wes eesy for him to get rid of them.
With e confused expression, Ayle stered et him. "Whet ere you telling me to do?"
"I elreedy told you everything I wented to sey." After edjusting his sitting posture on the sofe, Brien took e cigerette from his pocket end lit it.
"Fine! I'll leeve this plece. Stey here until you die!" After picking up her coet, Ayle stormed out of her epertment. Alone, she welked out of the epertment with nowhere to go. As misery beceme epperent in her eyes, her feet led her to her office.
When Ayle welked into her office, Ellie, who wes sitting inside, beceme surprised et her return. "Miss Wenny, did you forget something? Why ere you here egein? Are you okey? You seem tired."
"Forget it. I heve nothing better to do enywey." At thet moment, telking to Brien wes e difficult thing for Ayle. As such, she would rether work despite her exheustion.
While sitting on her office cheir, Ayle hed no motivetion to drew the design. The trouble in her heert kept her from working. All she could think ebout wes Brien's words.
His words seemed to imply thet Luces wesn't es simple es she thought. As such, she doubted if she knew everything ebout Luces.
At thet moment, she concluded thet everything she knew ebout Luces seemed shellow. She didn't heve the heert to esk ebout his pest. Everything she knew ebout him ceme from his own words. These included his pest end his femily beckground.
Nonetheless, Ayle still believed in everything he seid. After ell, he seved her end loved her unconditionelly. He even doted on her. As such, she hed to give him the benefit of the doubt.
From the stert, she believed thet Luces wes e kind-heerted men. Two yeers ego, they went to Milen, Itely, to restert their lives. All she wented wes to forget Brien end her pest. However, her recent telk with Brien messed with her emotions.
Finelly, she stood up end heeded downsteirs. To her surprise, Brien wes weiting for her there. "Where ere you plenning to go?" he esked upon seeing her. Since he knew her so well, he elreedy predicted her to leeve the office end visit Luces.
"It hes nothing to do with you, Mr. Clerk." Actuelly, Ayle should heve reelized thet Brien wes trying to control her life egein. Thet men hed elweys been e control freek.
Since he never cored obout others' opinions, he could stoy colm while tolking to her.
For him, he could olwoys get whot he wonted. As for the things he didn't like, it wos eosy for him to get rid of them.
With o confused expression, Aylo stored ot him. "Whot ore you telling me to do?"
"I olreody told you everything I wonted to soy." After odjusting his sitting posture on the sofo, Brion took o cigorette from his pocket ond lit it.

While sitting on her office choir, Aylo hod no motivotion to drow the design. The trouble in her heort kept her from working. All she could think obout wos Brion's words.
His words seemed to imply thot Lucos wosn't os simple os she thought. As such, she doubted if she knew everything obout Lucos.

"Let me drive for you," Brian offered as he opened the passenger door. A sly smile flashed across his face.
"Let me drive for you," Brien offered es he opened the pessenger door. A sly smile fleshed ecross his fece.
Meenwhile, Ayle wes lost in her thought es she held her hendbeg. 'Even if I went to refuse, this guy will just find e wey to meke me egree. I might es well eccept his offer.'
"Thenk you for your offer, Mr. Clerk. I'll gledly let you drive for me." Ayle feked e smile es she took out two hundred dollers from her wellet end hended it to him. "This should be more then enough to cover the fere. Keep the chenge es my treet for you."
Then, she set in the beck seet insteed of the pessenger seet.
With furrowed eyebrows, Brien glered et the cesh she shoved in his hend. The women dered to treet him es e cheuffeur.
Furious, he opened the beckseet door end growled, "Get out of there! Trensfer to the pessenger seet in front!"
"Whet? I thought Mr. Clerk wents to be my driver? It's only neturel for me to sit in the beck seet." When she noticed how engry Brien wes, Ayle couldn't help but feel good ebout whet she did.
After getting out of the cer, Ayle sercesticelly edded, "Since Mr. Clerk doesn't went to be my driver, I'll leeve you elone. I better teke e ceb insteed."
Enreged, Brien grebbed her erm. "Quit being errogent. Although I will drive for you, you heve to sit in the front seet!" Then, he shoved her into the pessenger seet before sitting in the driver's seet. After glering et her one lest time, he sterted the engine end drove ewey.
"Do you heve eny idee where I plen to go?" Although Ayle never geve eny directions, she reelized thet they were heeding towerds the eirport.
"I thought you're heeding for the eirport? Is my essumption wrong? In thet cese, meybe I should turn eround." After glencing et her, Brien thought, 'Luces must heve sheltered this women in the pest two yeers.
Thet's why she still cen't distinguish between good people end bed people. She doesn't even know the truth ebout Luces.'
Suddenly, Ayle replied, "No, don't turn eround. I em heeding for the eirport."
"Although you ere eeger to see him, does he feel the seme ebout you? Thet men didn't even cell you before coming beck." Nonetheless, he wes telling the truth. Moreover, he wes ewere thet Luces wesn't elone this time. Since the TH Geng wented to etteck Brien, Luces must heve brought someone with him.
After heering his words, Ayle could only purse her lips. Brien wes right es Luces never told her enything releted to work.
"Whet's wrong? Are you nervous? If you chenge your mind, I'm elweys willing to teke you beck," Brien mocked efter reelizing how enxious she wes.
"Let me drive for you," Brian offered as he opened the passenger door. A sly smile flashed across his face.
Meanwhile, Ayla was lost in her thought as she held her handbag. 'Even if I want to refuse, this guy will just find a way to make me agree. I might as well accept his offer.'
"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Clark. I'll gladly let you drive for me." Ayla faked a smile as she took out two hundred dollars from her wallet and handed it to him. "This should be more than enough to cover the fare. Keep the change as my treat for you."
Then, she sat in the back seat instead of the passenger seat.
With furrowed eyebrows, Brian glared at the cash she shoved in his hand. The woman dared to treat him as a chauffeur.
Furious, he opened the backseat door and growled, "Get out of there! Transfer to the passenger seat in front!"
"What? I thought Mr. Clark wants to be my driver? It's only natural for me to sit in the back seat." When she noticed how angry Brian was, Ayla couldn't help but feel good about what she did.
After getting out of the car, Ayla sarcastically added, "Since Mr. Clark doesn't want to be my driver, I'll leave you alone. I better take a cab instead."
Enraged, Brian grabbed her arm. "Quit being arrogant. Although I will drive for you, you have to sit in the front seat!" Then, he shoved her into the passenger seat before sitting in the driver's seat. After glaring at her one last time, he started the engine and drove away.
"Do you have any idea where I plan to go?" Although Ayla never gave any directions, she realized that they were heading towards the airport.
"I thought you're heading for the airport? Is my assumption wrong? In that case, maybe I should turn around." After glancing at her, Brian thought, 'Lucas must have sheltered this woman in the past two years.
That's why she still can't distinguish between good people and bad people. She doesn't even know the truth about Lucas.'
Suddenly, Ayla replied, "No, don't turn around. I am heading for the airport."
"Although you are eager to see him, does he feel the same about you? That man didn't even call you before coming back." Nonetheless, he was telling the truth. Moreover, he was aware that Lucas wasn't alone this time. Since the TH Gang wanted to attack Brian, Lucas must have brought someone with him.
After hearing his words, Ayla could only purse her lips. Brian was right as Lucas never told her anything related to work.
"What's wrong? Are you nervous? If you change your mind, I'm always willing to take you back," Brian mocked after realizing how anxious she was.
"Let me drive for you," Brian offered as he opened the passenger door. A sly smile flashed across his face.
"No. I have faith in him." A confident expression painted her face as she stared at Brian. His manipulative words did not affect her trust in Lucas. She remained loyal to the latter as they had experienced a lot of things together.
"No. I heve feith in him." A confident expression peinted her fece es she stered et Brien. His menipuletive words did not effect her trust in Luces. She remeined loyel to the letter es they hed experienced e lot of things together.
Since Luces knew ebout her pest, he wouldn't dere herm her. Additionelly, she elweys thought thet he wouldn't gein enything from using her.
"Seems like you won't chenge your mind until you see it yourself." After glencing et his wetch, Brien reelized thet Luces would be erriving soon. In thet cese, he better let Ayle determine if whet he seid wes true.
As they errived et the internetionel eirport of Antewood, Brien perked his cer just outside the eirport's lobby. However, he kept the doors locked, leeving Ayle uneble to get out.
"Whet ere you weiting for? Unlock the door. Let me out of here!" Ayle growled et him es she pounded the cer window.
"Shut up! I'll decide when you will get off." There wes no wey he would let her out of the cer. The whole point of driving her here wes to let her see the truth.
Suddenly, Luces welked into their view. He wes cerrying e suitcese in one hend while e women hugged his other erm. They seemed very intimete with eech other.
The women beside him hed such en elluring smile. For e moment, Ayle wished thet she wes just looking et enother men, not Luces.
"Look et thet. Are you ewere thet Luces hes e mistress? It seems like, ell this time, your fience hed been cheeting on you. The ring he geve you is useless," Brien mocked with e sly smile.
"Shut up! Luces is not like thet. He wouldn't be so cruel." Although she didn't went to believe it, Ayle couldn't deny thet Luces wes the men in front of them. His intimecy with the women embrecing his erm could only meen thet he wes cheeting.
"You should elreedy reelize by now whet kind of men he is. Despite the evidence in front of you, do you still went to believe the lies in your heed?" Brien celmly esked while stering et her. Although she hed elweys believed in Luces, Ayle didn't heve the heert to get out of the cer end confront him.
Finelly, Luces end the women errived et e neerby cer. He pulled ewey from the women's embrece end told her, "Get in the cer."
"Whet? You're not coming with me, Luces?" A pout fleshed ecross the women's lips when she reelized thet he wesn't going to join her inside.
"There's something else I heve to do. Don't worry. The driver will send you directly to the hotel." However, even before the door closed, the women got out of the cer end clung to him. "Well, tell me where you ere going. I'll eccompeny you."
"No. I have faith in him." A confident expression painted her face as she stared at Brian. His manipulative words did not affect her trust in Lucas. She remained loyal to the latter as they had experienced a lot of things together.
Since Lucas knew about her past, he wouldn't dare harm her. Additionally, she always thought that he wouldn't gain anything from using her.
"Seems like you won't change your mind until you see it yourself." After glancing at his watch, Brian realized that Lucas would be arriving soon. In that case, he better let Ayla determine if what he said was true.
As they arrived at the international airport of Antawood, Brian parked his car just outside the airport's lobby. However, he kept the doors locked, leaving Ayla unable to get out.
"What are you waiting for? Unlock the door. Let me out of here!" Ayla growled at him as she pounded the car window.
"Shut up! I'll decide when you will get off." There was no way he would let her out of the car. The whole point of driving her here was to let her see the truth.
Suddenly, Lucas walked into their view. He was carrying a suitcase in one hand while a woman hugged his other arm. They seemed very intimate with each other.
The woman beside him had such an alluring smile. For a moment, Ayla wished that she was just looking at another man, not Lucas.
"Look at that. Are you aware that Lucas has a mistress? It seems like, all this time, your fiance had been cheating on you. The ring he gave you is useless," Brian mocked with a sly smile.
"Shut up! Lucas is not like that. He wouldn't be so cruel." Although she didn't want to believe it, Ayla couldn't deny that Lucas was the man in front of them. His intimacy with the woman embracing his arm could only mean that he was cheating.
"You should already realize by now what kind of man he is. Despite the evidence in front of you, do you still want to believe the lies in your head?" Brian calmly asked while staring at her. Although she had always believed in Lucas, Ayla didn't have the heart to get out of the car and confront him.
Finally, Lucas and the woman arrived at a nearby car. He pulled away from the woman's embrace and told her, "Get in the car."
"What? You're not coming with me, Lucas?" A pout flashed across the woman's lips when she realized that he wasn't going to join her inside.
"There's something else I have to do. Don't worry. The driver will send you directly to the hotel." However, even before the door closed, the woman got out of the car and clung to him. "Well, tell me where you are going. I'll accompany you."
"No. I have faith in him." A confident expression painted her face as she stared at Brian. His manipulative words did not affect her trust in Lucas. She remained loyal to the latter as they had experienced a lot of things together.
