Chapter 14
I'm His Fake Girlfriend
Cornelia's POV
Work. Work. Work
Today's schedule was full of Colton's meeting. I sighed. We can't have holiday time today.
"Why's with that sad face?"
"Nothing."
"Why? I know there is something."
I sighed again. "We can't have holiday today."
He laughed. "Hey, lazy girl! We come here for this work. Don't just think about the holiday."
I sighed again. "Yes, Sir."
"What meeting do we have for next?"
"You have a meeting with Mr. Jung. And then at 12.50 P.M you have a meeting with Mr. Takashi from the shipping company. At 15.37 you have an appointment with Mr. Lee. And last of your schedule today, 18.00 P.M you have to attend a party held by Haru Company."
"Okay."
We quickly went to the meeting room. To have a meeting with Mr. Jung.
--------------------------------
Colton was in the meeting room with Mr. Takashi. It's our second meeting of the day. I walked out of the room, leaving Colton with Mr. Takashi alone in that room.
I walked to the balcony in that building. The scenery was very beautiful. It's still afternoon. I bet the scenery will be more beautiful at night.
"What a coincidence meeting you here, Lia."
This voice.. I recognized this voice. A voice that I hate the most. I quickly turned my head. I can't believed what I saw.
Dmitri Jacob Parker.
He was uncle Jacob's son. He was no different from his dad. A liar. A jerk. A bastard.
He was smirking at me. He began to walked towards me. I took a step back. He came closer. We kept doing that until he trapped me against the wall.
"How many times I should tell you! It's Cornelia for you and your bastard father!"
"Don't call my father a bastard!" He punched the wall behind me. I got shocked.
"Well, you look healthy. Still beautiful. But pathetic." He smirked.
"You. Are. The. One. Who is pathetic. You and your family steal what supposed to be mine!"
"Oh my dear cousin. It's your father decision."
"Hah! My father will not give a cent of money for your family. I know how much my father hate you. All of you."
"Look at the truth, cousin. He gave his company to us. You are smart. But you can't face the truth. That's why you are pathetic." He touched my cheek. I quickly moved his hand away from me.
"You are the one who can't face the truth. I will find an evidence. I will get my company back!"
"It's my company. You will not get anything. Look at the truth, it has been 4 years since that company became my father's, and nothing will change."
"What things will change?" I heard a new voice came between our conversation.
"Ah, Colton Steward. Nice to meet you here."
"I can't say the same to you. What are you doing here? What are you doing to my girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend? I see, he is you lastest conquest, huh?" He said. I slapped him hard on his cheek. His face immediately became red. My hand print was on his face.
"You bitch!" He lifted his hand up to slap me. But Colton prevented it. He caught Dmitri's hand before that hand could slapped me.
"Don't you dare to touch my girlfriend ever again!"
"Why Colton? Afraid that I could snatch your girlfriend again?"
Colton's face hardened. His fist clenched.
"Don't worry, Colton. This time I won't. She is my cousin after all."
Colton immediately glared at me. He showed his disbelief.
"I'm sure you are invited by Haru company's. See you later. I hope I bring a valueable present for the two of you."
He gave us his evil smirk and walked away from us.
"You are the cousin of that man whore??" Colton started to yelled at me.
"Yeah."
"Why don't you tell me!"
"Why must I tell you!"
"You are my girlfriend! I'm supposed to know everything about you!"
"Excuse me, Mr. But I'm only your fake girlfriend! Not your real girlfriend! You don't need to know about my life!"
"Ah. I get the idea now. You are that man whore's puppet right? He asked you to seduce me so he will get my wealth right?"
"WHAT? How can you get those idea? I have never been his puppet! I have even never admitted that he is my cousin. How dare you to accuse me like that! And excuse me! I have never seduced you!"
"Enough! Stop your bullshit! I will never believe your words. All Parkers are the same. They are all greedy."
I slapped him. "Not all of Parkers are like my uncle and his family! My family is the exception. We are not greedy! I can still accept it that you accuse me of something that I have never done. But I can't accept it if you accuse my family."
I walked away from him.
His words. It stung in my heart. It hurted me so much. I could not believe he said something like that. He didn't know about my past. He could not judge me based on my family.
Moreover, he has no right to judge my parents. My parents were good people. We were not greedy.
I hate him. I hate him so much. I thought I started to built a feeling for him. But he crashed it. I was disappointed. Very disappointed.

Colton's POV
I just got out from the meeting room. The meeting was so intense. It was hard to deal with Mr. Takashi. If I took a wrong step, then he will not invested his money to my company.
I was looking for fresh air, when I saw Lia and a man. I recognised the man. He was the man that I hate the most. He was the man that betrayed my trust.
What was he doing here? And what was his bussiness with Lia?
He trapped Lia with both of his hands. He trapped Lia against the wall behind her. They looked like they have a serious conversation.
I walked toward them.
"... and nothing will change." I heard Dmitri said something. But I just heard that part of their conversation.
"What things will change?" I asked them curiosly. I saw him smirking at Lia and then at me. I saw Lia gasped a little.
"Ah, Colton Steward. Nice to meet you here."
Hah! I nearly laughed. "I can't say the same to you. What are you doing here? What are you doing to my girlfriend?" Girlfriend. Yes I said that. I wanted to told him that Lia was my girlfriend.
"Girlfriend? I see, he is you lastest conquest, huh?" He said.
Conquest? Lastest? It meaned Lia have other conquest before? And what was the meaning of conquest?
I saw Lia's angry face. And she slapped him hard on his cheek. It's pretty hard for a man. But not enough to made him suffer.
He looked angry. So angry. "You bitch!" He lifted his hand up. I knew his intention. He wanted to slapped Lia. I quickly caught his hand before that hand could landed on Lia's face.
"Don't you dare to touch my girlfriend ever again!"
"Why Colton? Afraid that I could snatch your girlfriend again?"
I was upset. I wanted to punched him. But I have to thought about Lia. I could not let her saw the beast that lived inside of me. Without my knowing, I clenched my fist.
"Don't worry, Colton. This time I won't. She is my cousin after all."
What? Cousin? Lia was this bastard's cousin? What the fuck!
"I'm sure you are invited by Haru company's. See you later. I hope I bring a valueable present for the two of you." He smirked and want away from us.
I immedietely sent my death glare to Lia. I could not believe this. "You are the cousin of that man whore??"
"Yeah."
"Why don't you tell me!"
"Why must I tell you!"
"You are my girlfriend! I'm supposed to know everything about you!"
"Excuse me, Mr. But I'm only your fake girlfriend! Not your real girlfriend! You don't need to know about my life!"
I didn't need to know her life? When she accepted my offer, she officialy became mine. I need to know about her.
"Ah. I get the idea now. You are that man whore's puppet right? He asked you to seduce me so he will get my wealth right?"
So this is what conquest meant, huh? Maybe she was his puppet. I knew his hunger for wealth. I knew he was greedy of money. He would tried any ways to get money. He would even used his cousin to get my money.
"WHAT? How can you get those idea? I have never been his puppet! I have even never admitted that he is my cousin. How dare you to accuse me like that! And excuse me! I have never seduced you!"
"Enough! Stop your bullshit! I will never believe your words. All Parkers are the same. They are all greedy."
I was too upset. I was angry. I could not believe she lied to me. I could not believe she betrayed me!
She slapped me. "Not all of Parkers are like my uncle and his family! My family is the exception. We are not greedy! I can still accept it that you accuse me of something that I have never done. But I can't accept it if you accuse my family."
I saw tears on her cheeks. And she walked away from me.
I ran my hands through my hair. Great! She left me now. I felt guilty when I saw her tears. But I could not feel guilty. It was all her scheme and her cousin.
