Chapter 268: Why should I die?


    ''''Hello Lisa, what is it?'''' Pa walked out to the entrance and spoke.


    ''''P, do you know where I left the lease papers yesterday? I can''t remember too well''''


    ''''Yes, you left it on the table and I picked it. Just go to my room and look in the drawer I kept it there'''' Pa recognised the car parked at a distance and recognised it. She subconsciously went towards it. She didn''t know what she was doing, but she found herself staring at the car.


    ''''Thank God, so how is your trip going on, any hot guys around there?''''


    ''Wake up from your dreams'''' Pa replied and saw the tourists walking out of the lobby, ''Lise, I have to go. we are leaving for the beach right now''''


    ''''Oh, take care and have fun, my love''''


    ''''Mm, I will call youter in the day'''' Pa said and hung up.


    ''''Fancy seeing you here?'''' Andy said as stood in front of her.


    ''''Are you talking to me?'''' Pa asked him.


    ''''Who is here besides the two of us?'''' Andy cocked a brow at her. Pa sighed and saw the tourists looking at them. she scratched her hair a little before saying to him.


    ''''Sorry, but I don''t talk to strangers''''


    ''''Pa''''


    ''''I have to go or the bus will leave without me'''' Pa got ready to go when held her hand, stopping her.


    ''''Let''s go together'''' he said to her and Pa knew his request was sincere but she couldn''t shake off the feeling she had the night before. His cold gaze still lingered in her mind.


    Pa shook his hand off and said to him, ''''people are watching. I don''t want to be the subject of gossips'''' she looked at him once more and walked away, clutching her handbag nervously by her side.


    Leslie pulled over and Betty hurriedly got down from the car and ran to hug Andy.


    ''''I missed you so much, Andy'''' she said and turned to look at Pa who was getting inside the tour bus and she frowned.


    Andy stepped aside, creating a distance between them as he nced meaningfully at his brother who had a smug expression on his face.


    ''''Boss, I just finished setting up the meeting area, it will take ce when your father arrivester on'''' Max said as he went to stand beside them.


    ''''What? Why wasn''t I aware of the old man''sing? Andy, you''''


    ''''That''s what you get for messing with me'''' Andy replied and got into his car with Max.


    ''''Andy, wait'''' Betty was about to open the door when the car sped away. She turned to look at Leslie angrily.


    ''''I'', going back. are youing with me or not?'''' he asked her.


    ''''I am staying. I will wait for uncle toe'''' Betty answered and Leslie got into his car and drove off. it was no secret that he and his father didn''t get along well. They had an a rather estranged rtionship. Andy was the one who mediated between them most of the time.


    At the hotel''s private ind beach, the tourists had all changed into their beach outfits and were already having fun.


    When Andy and Max arrived, thedies rushed towards them asking to take pictures with him. Andy sighed and put on a smile as he posed with thedies and Max took the pictures. His eyes wandered around the beach looking for a certain someone but couldn''t find her.


    ''''Where is she?'''' Andy murmured the question after he was done with the pictures.


    ''''Boss, are you looking for someone?'''' Max asked him and he shook his head.


    ''''No, nothing'''' he replied and was about to turn when ady rushed in front of him, blocking their path. Max got between them, keeping thedy away from Andy as he asked her.


    ''''Miss, what do you again?''''


    ''''Andy, the sun is a little hot today. I can''t reach my back no matter how hard I try. Would you mind applying this sun cream on my back for me?'''' thedy asked stretching forth the sun cream in her hands.


    ''''Boss, she is clearly hitting on you'''' Max whispered to Andy.


    ''''I know'''' Andy replied and looked at the otherdies watching them curiously. He smiled and said to thedy, ''''Miss, when ites to applying of sun cream Ick a lot. But, he is quite experience, he will help you with it'''' Andy pushed Max towards thedy and took off, walking away hurriedly.


    Max screamed and felt he had been treated unfairly. How could his boss push him into the pit and run away?


    Andy kept looking around the beach until he saw her figure just at the edge of the water. She was moving inside deep into the water.


    ''''Pa'''' he hurriedly ran towards her.


    Pa looked at the engagement rings in her hands and sighed, ''''I should get rid of this first if I want to move on'''' she said to herself. She removed a ne around her neck and her tears fell.


    This was the first gift that Gideon bought for her and she had kept it with her for so many years. She thought that she had found the one for her but it seemed that was also a far-fetched dream.


    She looked at the items in her hands for a while before lifting her hand up to throw it away.


    ''''No, Pa don''t do it'''' Andy said, running towards her.


    Pa turned and saw him running towards her. she looked puzzled and confused because he was running so fast towards her.


    ''''Pa'''' Andy pulled her into a hug saying, ''''listen I know it''s hard to move on from a breakup but trust me death is not the only way out. One day you will wake up and realise that it wasn''t really that important and you would be grateful that you didn''t end up with him. There is no need to end your life because of someone like him'''' Andy was panting for breath as he spoke.


    ''''Who is nning to die?'''' Pa asked and Andy let go and looked at her.


    ''''Weren''t you going to fall into the water and die?'''' he asked her and Pa chuckled.


    ''''Why would I want to kill myself over that kind of human being?''''


    ''''You weren''t going to fall into the water?''''


    ''''Andy, you think so lightly of me. I didn''t even try to kill myself when my father passed away, why would I do that now over an insignificant person like him?'''' she showed him the items in her hands, ''I was going to throw these items away because they belong to that jerk''''


    ''That''s such a relief'''' he pulled her in a hug, ''''that''s such a relief, I was so scared. I thought that you were going to do something drastic after been dumped.


    ''''After been dumped? Andy, how dare you say that to my face?'''' Pa frowned and red at him.


    ''''It''s good that you are not thinking of doing anything. Let''s get out of the water first'''' he said and Pa looked at their feet and realised their trousers were wet from the water. He held her hand and they walked to the shore.


    Pa squatted and started crying all of a sudden.


    ''''Pa, what''s wrong?'''' Andy asked her.


    ''''I don''t know why but I just feel like crying. Can you leave me alone for a while?'''' she looked at him as her tears fell down from her face, ''''I haven''t had a good cry after breaking up with that jerk. Now that everything that belonged to him is gone, I can''t help but mourn''''


    ''''Mourn?'''' Andy looked at her.


    ''''I am mourning my love for him. It just died so I am mourning it for a while. After today, I won''t even think twice about that kind of human being again. So, can you leave me alone?''''


    ''''No, I won''t leave you alone'''' he said and squatted by her side. ''''I will keep youpany while you mourn your lost love''''


    ''''You just had to say ''lost love'' right to my face. Why do you have such low self-awareness towards other people?''''


    ''''I always hear that my words are harsh but still, I can''t help say it to the people I care about''''


    ''''Tsk''''


    ''''Get up, I will take you somewhere'''' he held her hand and stood up with her.


    ''''Where are we going?'''' Pa asked as he started to walk away with her.


    ''''Somewhere, it''s a surprise. You will find out when we get there''''


    They got into his car and he drove her away, not stopping until they reached a building and he pulled over. Pa looked at the building and turned to him.


    ''''A cinema? What are we doing in a cinema?'''' she asked him.


    ''''Follow me'''' he got down from his car and Pa hurriedly joined him, catching up to his pace.


    ''''What are we going to do here?'''' she continued to ask.


    ''''We are going to watch a movie''''


    ''''A movie?''''


    ''''Mr. Bassey, everything is ready'''' a man walked to them at the entrance and said to Andy.


    ''''Thanks'''' Andy turned and held Pa''s hand sending her to the private cinema centre.
