a/n: I was bored last night while trying to update my stories. So I came up with the idea to check on how many words I have used in each stories. And this is what I've discovered. 

P.S I haven't check the other two story so I don't know how many words in there. Anyway, enough with this commercial. I do hope that you enjoy this chapter and please leave some comment for me.

I REMAINED myself busy and tried to ignore his heavy stare on me. As of this moment, the monthly meeting with different heads of Etherious Empire is being held. Each head are required to present the data that happened on the whole month and of course, we are required to give suggestion and comment to each other.

Ever since that incident couple of days ago, I really tried my best to avoid him. I just can't face him right now. It was like... every time we see each other – he always ended up hurting me without him knowing it. Though, I'm not blaming him from the pain. But it doesn't mean I'm okay with it.

Anyway, let's go back on the main topic. Right now, the accounting head is currently presenting the sales of our company. I don't know why but I instantly get pissed with the way she present the data.

"Flirt," I murmur under my breath. I saw her frowned on me but I just shrugged.

As I fix my gaze upon data that her secretary given to each one of us. I read all the context, until I saw something that caught my attention. I glance back at her power point presentation – and frowned.

"The floor is now open for your question and suggestion" the flirt said.

Each department gives some feed backs on how awesome her presentation, they also mention on how the data presented in the power point but no one notice the mistake that this flirt head did. Wow. I guess being a flirt will hide your mistake.

I mentally rolled my eyes and sigh before I spoke "On your power point presentation, the third week of this month is not the same. Which one is true? Next, I noticed that some of the reports here is not the same as what you've said. You are sugar-coating your words – may I remind you that in presenting your data. You don't need to sugar-coated it unless you are having a business proposal or meeting." My voice is barely audible, "And lastly, act professional, stop flirting inside this conference room."

She gave me a disbelief look – as if she can't believe on what I've just said. Like, bitch please. Someone told me that I'm a bitch and I'm just proving it.

"I'm waiting for your explanation, Miss" I said.

"Maybe there was a mistake on the system—"

I cut her off "So" I said firmly – I lean on my seat as I cross my arms and legs "you were saying that the system I created is wrong?" I ask innocently.

She bit her lips and remain herself mute as if she was trying to control her emotion that trying to suppress on her. I mentally smirk before I look around the table "I'm not saying that what you've said on her is not true. Clearly, she is good but she was not professional while presenting." They all gasp – as I mentally roll my eyes and continue "And if you are going to say to me that I'm just accusing her. May I remind you, that everything inside this conference room is recorded so I have proof" I said as I gave them a sarcastic smile.

I look at the woman in front "If you won't answer my question. Then be it. I'll just check it and correct it by myself" I said it with a shrugged.

"Don't do it, Miss Heartfilia. It is not your job anyway. Let her handle this."  his soft voice echo inside – so I whip my head to look at him. He was looking at me – and I don't know why but I saw amusement flashes on his eyes "I'll agree on what Miss Heartfilia said," I mentally roll my eyes and avoided his gaze.

He continue pointing out some mistake that I didn't mention and he also gave some suggestion. After I don't know how long – we finished our monthly report presentation. I let out a sigh and slouch on my sit before gently massaging my temple.

My head is fucking aching.

I sigh as I close my eyes tightly as if it will help me to feel better. But it didn't. I guess, I need to take some break on the clinic. I open my eyes and started to clean my things. I didn't bother looking at him even though I can feel his heavy stare on me.

Before I even went to the clinic. I informed Zeref's secretary that I'll be staying on the clinic to rest. As soon as I entered the clinic – Wendy Marvel – the Etherious Empire stay – in doctor greeted me.

"You have a fever, Miss Lucy," she informed me after getting my temperature "Have you been stressing yourself this past few days?"

I shrugged as I sit on the bed "I guess," I murmur "Just please let me sleep for a while. I'll be fine after taking a rest, I guess"

"Are you okay?" I don't know why but it feels like the way she ask me a question feels weird. Or it was just my imagination.

"My head is aching" I said truthfully.

"I mean, your heart" she ask me which really caught me off guard. I open my mouth to speak but my own words vanish on my throat "Pain is heavy. You have to let it go" she said softly.

My mouth hang open as I tried to study her beautiful face, "I saw you crying couple of days ago in some random room in this building. You look in so much pain. I know, I'm not in the position to tell you this. But, if things are getting heavy. Learn to let it go"

I smile on her which I know didn't reach on my eyes "I don't know how." I mumble under my breath.

Let it go. It is the easiest words that can be said to someone but it was the most difficult thing to do. You won't know when and where you need to let go. And if letting go is right thing to do then why it's hard to do?

In reality, even if the last thing to do – is to let go. You won't do it. That's how foolish we are. Because we keep on finding one reason to fight for it and to stay with it.

"Miss Lucy?"

I look up and meet her gaze – raising one brow before I utter my response "Yes?"

I heard Wendy sigh as I felt her gently pat my head but didn't say anything to me. After that, she excuse herself since she have some things to do outside the building. As I laid down there, I think on what she'd said to me.

"I'm going to play some relaxing music so you can rest well, Miss Lucy" I heard Wendy said.

"Okay," I mumble but enough for her to be heard "Thank you"

"No problem" she said followed by a soft sound of closing the door.

I close my eyes when I heard a soft sound radiating inside the room. My body was forced to relax even though my brain wanted to continue thinking on what she had said. I'm blaming that music. Especially when I started to drift off.

That's why I wasn't sure if I saw Natsu looking at me worriedly. I wasn't sure if I felt him gently touching my cheeks. I wasn't sure if he really pressed his lips on my cheeks down to my lips.

I wasn't sure... or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me.
