CHAPTER 22

Engfa was checking some work before she went to the construction site that had just started last week. She didn't want her problem with Charlotte to disrupt her focus on work even though the woman had been silent for three weeks. All her calls and messages were also unanswered and returned. When she thought about Charlotte, her heart ached even more, why did Charlotte have to be silent, why did she have no explanation to say to her. This made Engfa a little disappointed with the woman's unchanging attitude.

Nudee entered her room with a slightly agitated expression. Engfa looked at her confusedly and asked,

" What's going on, Nude ? "

" Faa... Mr Mew came here, he said he had something to discuss with you "

Engfa stood up in shock. She was confused by Mew's presence in her office. This was also the first time Mew had come here to see her. Her feelings began to be mixed. Why did the man's presence make her feel uneasy. What had happened ? but Engfa tried to stay calm, tried to think positively, hoping that none of this had anything to do with her.

Maybe Mew came here to discuss the development of Charlotte's house since Charlotte also avoided dealing with her. She tried to control her emotions, looked at Nudee and said

" Hmm okay, let him in "

Nudee who was still hesitant finally nodded her head. A few minutes later, Mew appeared in a different state than usual. Only wearing a t-shirt, jeans and slippers made the man's appearance quite different from before where he was always dressed in a neat suit on his body. The smell of alcohol was also very strong making Engfa feel confused. Mew's facial expression also looked like he had just been disappointed. Both eyes looked swollen and red. Engfa wondered, what happened to this man.

" Hi Mew, I didn't expect you to be here, please sit down "

Mew just leaned back in the chair, his eyes had time to look around before staring sharply at Engfa. Engfa felt something was wrong but she still tried to calm down and control her emotions as best she could.

" So what is the purpose of your coming here ? Do you want to discuss the development of Charlotte's house ? "

Engfa said as nothing had happened. Mew started laughing softly, his body leaning back in the chair.

" Do you really want to keep acting like nothing happened, Engfa ? "

Mew asked, still looking disappointed. Engfa tried to understand what the man was trying to say. She really didn't know. What did Mew's mean or did he already know about her past with Charlotte ? Engfa's heart was beating fast, trying to control her emotions so as not to look scared.

" Hmm, what do you mean, Mew ? I don't understand "

Engfa still tried to act like nothing happened.

" Engfa... I thought you were a good person, someone who could help me when I was in trouble one day. That's why I never forbade Charlotte from being close friends with you "

Mew replied, his tone sounding disappointed and sad. Engfa knew something must have happened. This didn't just involve her and Charlotte but also involved Mew. Engfa was still silent, it was a bit difficult for her to find the words to reply. Her eyes also tried to look the other way, still avoiding Mew's sharp gaze who was still waiting for her answer.

" Why are you silent, Engfa ? You're surprised I know you're Charlotte's ex-lover, huh ? "

Engfa's eyes widened trying to accept what she heard. So it was true that Mew already knew the truth.

" Mew... I don't know what to say, I don't intend to hide all this from you but Charlotte and I really don't have a relationship with each other "

Engfa replied while trying to explain the situation, her voice breaking because she was still shocked. Mew laughed softly, his eyes showing anger that made Engfa in front of him unable to sit comfortably.

" If it's true that you and her aren't in a relationship, why did Charlotte break off our engagement, Engfa ? "

Engfa's feet almost weak upon hearing Mew's words, she still couldn't believe what she heard. She hoped that none of this was true. How could Charlotte break off her engagement with Mew when their relationship was going well.

" No Mew, it's impossible. You lied to me, didn't you ? Charlotte wouldn't do that. After all, she and I haven't seen each other for three weeks, so it's impossible that all this happened because of me "

" If it wasn't you, what other reason is there, Engfa ?! "

Mew's scream made Engfa startled. Mew stood up and walked towards her. Engfa continued to lean back in her chair, hoping that Mew wouldn't do anything to her. The strong smell of alcohol continued to make her uncomfortable.

" You know, if you hadn't appeared in our lives, all this wouldn't be like this, Engfa. Charlotte wouldn't have made this decision, you're the one who ruined everything Engfa ! You've ruined everything !! "

Because he couldn't control his anger anymore, Mew grabbed both of Engfa's shoulders, pulled and slammed her body against the wall very hard, causing Engfa to lose her balance as she tried to defend herself. Engfa groaned in pain. She had never faced a physical attack like this before.

" Mew ! What are you doing !...... Please don't do anything stupid, we still can slow talk, right ? "

Engfa pleaded with her breathless breath. At that moment, Mew didn't seem like to care what would happen.

" Mew please..... you need to calm down, I can explain everything "

Engfa replied, feeling her back start to hurt from being slammed hard by the man.

" What else do you want to explain Engfa ? It's too late. There's no point trying to fix this situation. Charlotte doesn't love me anymore, she loves you Engfa ! She still loves you !! Arghhh !! "

A strong punch landed on Engfa's cheek until the tip of her lip bled from the strong punch of Mew's big hand. Engfa's vision began to blur due to the pain she endured, she then felt her body being slammed hard to the floor, causing her to groan weakly.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, the blood coming out of her mouth also did not stop. Mew did not stop there, he seemed to be possessed, he began to kick Engfa's body repeatedly until Engfa finally could not hold back anymore. This was the first time Engfa faced a situation like this, she really did not think Mew could act like this.

" Mew... please stop, it hurts "

Engfa pleaded while groaning in pain, fear also began to envelop her.

" Hurts huh ? What do you feel that is not the same as what I feel Engfa ! You are really useless ! You are really useless Engfa ! If I can't get Charlotte, you won't get it either ! "

Kick after kick was given until Engfa finally lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Nudee who was with Apo outside Engfa's office at that time felt uneasy as if something was happening inside.

" Apo, I don't feel good, like something happened to Engfa inside, let's go to see "

Apo didn't object instead they both immediately entered Engfa's office. When they both entered inside, their eyes were wide open in shock at what they had just seen.

" Hey Mew ! what are you doing ! "

Apo screamed as he kicked the man until he fell to the floor. Nude quickly approached Engfa who was already unconscious.

" Engfa ! Engfa ! Please wake up.... "

Nudee pleaded while trying to wake Engfa up but her best friend couldn't give any response. Apo who couldn't control his anger towards Mew continued to hit the man as hard as he could until Mew was powerless to fight him.

" How dare you touch Engfa ! You're crazy Mew ! What's wrong with Engfa that you're willing to hit her like that, damn you're really useless ! "

Apo screamed as hard as he could, his breath caught in his throat. Guilt welled up in his chest regretting letting the man meet Engfa.

" I'll call the police, you'll bear the consequences ! "

Apo said again who immediately called the police and ambulance. After 10 minutes, the police and ambulance arrived. Engfa who was unconscious was immediately taken to the hospital while Mew was immediately arrested and taken to the nearby police station. This news spread widely on social media and television because Engfa's company is a well-known contractor company in New York.
