Chapter 5: What happened to Heather?
After Jin left, I finally got a call from Heather. Her phone was acting up when she called, so she asked me to come over to talk in person.
I hastily got into my beat up car, and drove over to her enormous estate. I drove down her secluded private road and pulled up to the security guard stand. The familiar guards let me through the gates when they saw me. They recognized my car by now, and waved at me as I passed through the large metal gates.
I entered her large decorative double doors and grabbed onto the smooth railing as I walked up the white marble staircase. I knocked on Heather's white bedroom door. She quickly opened the door, excited to see me with a huge grin on her face.
"Cora you're here! I'm so sorry!" Heather pulled me in for a hug.
"Charles, that jerk! He showed up last night uninvited! We got into a huge argument, so I went outside with him, to avoid making a scene in front of everyone. He was embarrassing me out there, shouting for no reason!" Heather's eyes began to fill with tears as she recalled last night's events.
"Oh no! I knew something like this would happen! He's always stalking you!"
Charles didn't take the breakup well, and has been seen following Heather around to try to talk to her. I told her to file a restraining order against him, but we both knew he'd get around it somehow, seeing how he's pretty much above the law with how connected he is.
"I know! I don't even know how he knew about my party at the nightclub last night, but he came because he thinks I'm dating a new guy. I told him I wasn't, and if I was, it's none of his business. He accused me of cheating on him, and then threw my phone in the fountain, outside of the club!" Heather's eyes were red, but she sounded angry.
"He's such an asshole! That's why I couldn't get a hold of you all night!"
"Yeah, It took me all night to get my phone to work again. I had to let it dry in rice, and it finally started working again this morning, but it's still acting up."
"I'll kill that bastard if I see him again! How dare he ruin your night like that!" I said feeling my blood boil. Who did he think he was?
I tried comforting her by giving her another hug. I could feel her calming down as I held her, and patted her on the back. I wish Charles would leave her alone. Unfortunately, he's a handsome billionaire and can get away with anything. His family marrying into Heather's could have been very beneficial for both parties, but once Heather saw how jealous and controlling he was, she wanted nothing to do with him. His family was very ticked off, he lost them this huge financial gain in losing Heather as a potential marriage partner. He only wanted her for money, nothing else we all knew it. I wish she had not grown feelings for him, and ever since then, she has been guarded against dating men again.
"Enough about me, I heard you left with a guy? Who was it?" She asked me as she wiped the tears off her her face. She seemed to have already forgotten about Charles, now that she was asking me this question.
"Oh, you didn't hear the story?" I know people must have gossiped about me, leaving the nightclub with a stranger the way I did.
"No! What happened? It's not like you to go off with a guy you just met. You've never even had a boyfriend!"
"Of course I didn't willingly go off with a man I just met. Your disgusting friend, John roofied me, and tried to take me back to his hotel room!"
"What? John? What was he doing there? That sleazy jerk was not invited! He is not even my friend! Charles must have brought him along, I can not believe he tried to do that! I am so sorry! I should have never left you alone!"
"Yeah you should feel bad, I was almost date raped!" I pretended to sound offended, although I had already forgiven her.
"Cora I had no idea he was capable of something so vile!"
"It's ok, Jin saw everything and saved me last night."
"Kim SeokJin? He actually came to my party?" Heather eyes widened.
"You didn't know?" I asked surprised.
"No, I didn't even see him last night! I'm working with his company, we're trying to work on a deal with BigHit entertainment* for a merger. I told Jin I was a fan, and we started talking. He's such a nice guy that I invited him to my party, but I didn't think he'd actually show up!"
"Yeah he saved me, but I ended up hurting him, and he probably hates me now." I feel stupid for how I treated him.
I explain the whole story to Heather, while she intently listened. When I finished, she glanced at me with an inquisitive expression on her face.
"What's with that look?"
"Girl, Jin likes you!" She exclaimed, looking very entertained.
"What? No he doesn't!" I said, blushing.
"And you like him too!" She glanced at me knowingly.
"I hardly know him! Besides, I'm never going to see him again."
"I wouldn't count on that. I think you'll be seeing more of him soon." She hinted at me, grinning.
"What, why?" I asked confused, she was definitely not telling me something.
"You'll see what I mean." Heather winked at me, making me frustrated.
I tried to find out what Heather meant, but she wouldn't say a word. I gave up asking and decided head home. That night, I prepared myself for my first day at my new job starting in the morning.
