Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart-Chapter 83 - 82

Seduced him? Hiro’s jaw tightened, but he kept his voice steady. "What Raiden and I have is none of your business." He didn’t even know who she was. She had no right to comment on his relationship with Raiden.

Mina’s eyes flashed with anger. "None of my business? It’s disgusting. You’re disgusting you gay whore. You don’t even love him, do you? I’m sure you’re just selling your body to climb out of the gutter. You’re not even that pretty. What do you have that I don’t? I don’t get it. I’m better than you in every way. Wealth, status, beauty, I have it all. You’re just nothing but a whore."

"I-I’m not a whore." Hiro stuttered, his eyes welling with tears. He was forcing himself to stay calm but her words hurt. "And that’s not what happened. You have no idea what you’re talking about."

"I know enough," she shot back. "It’s obvious you’re only here because you got lucky. You fags are nothing but pathetic excuses for human beings and here you are, clinging to Mr Yamato like a fucking parasite. Men like you always leech to him, trying to suck him dry. I bet the only reason he even keeps things like you around him is because he hasn’t experienced the taste of a true woman. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll break up with him this instant."

Hiro clenched his fists, the sting of her words cutting deep. He didn’t even know who she was. He had never seen her before but here she was, talking about things she didn’t know. Calling him a whore, a parasite... a fag. What did he even do to her? Was it because he was with Raiden? But what did that have to do with her?

It really hurt and it was taking everything in him to keep his tears at bay. Before he could respond, the door opened, and Miss Ling, Raiden’s secretary, walked in, her presence immediately diffusing the tension in the room. freēnovelkiss.com

"What’s going on here?" Miss Ling’s voice was calm but carried an undertone of authority. She noticed how frightened Hiro looked so she turned to Mina with a questioning look.

Mina’s expression faltered for a split second before she regained her composure. "N-Nothing, Miss Ling. I was just discussing some... concerns with Mr. Watanabe."

Suspicion flickered in Miss Ling’s eyes. She knew Mina well enough to know that she came to make trouble."And what concerns, Miss Endo, would that be?" She asked, stepping into the office. "As far as I know, Mr Watanabe does not work here. What business do you have with our Boss’s partner?"

Mina’s face went pale. She hadn’t expected the meeting to end that quickly. "I-I just came to deliver these files." She hurriedly explained, gesturing to the files on Raiden’s table. "They were heavy. Mr Watanabe was kind enough to let me in so I could keep them on Mr Yamato’s desk."

Hiro wished he had never let her in. He should have just let her stay outside until Raiden came back. Look what his kindness got him. Insults for a complete stranger.

"Is that so?" Miss Ling asked, her eyes falling on the heavy stack of files. "I do not recall Mr Yamato asking you to deliver anything."

Mina began to sweat. She gritted her teeth, trying to come up with an excuse but she couldn’t think of anything. Fuck fuck fuck!

Miss Ling stepped closer to Mina, glaring at her. She then lowered her voice and warned; "Miss Endo, you have no business whatsoever with Mr Watanabe. If you know what’s good for you, you will keep your distance. Do not so much as even look at him or I’m afraid that you’ll never be able to bear the consequences. Whatever concerns you have in the future, you can bring them to Mr. Yamato directly but I won’t tolerate any disrespect towards Mr. Watanabe. Henceforth, you are not allowed into Mr Yamato’s office unless he says otherwise."

Mina’s face was completely ashen, but she forced a smile. "O-Of course, Miss Ling. I didn’t mean any disrespect."

Miss Ling then stepped closer to Hiro, her voice softening. "Mr Watanabe, Mr. Yamato is waiting for you downstairs."

Hiro nodded, though his expression remained troubled and his body was trembling slightly. "Thank you, Miss Ling."

Mina quickly gathered her files, leaving the room with a forced smile. As the door closed behind her, Miss Ling turned to Hiro, concern evident in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" she asked gently. "Did that witch say something to you?"

Hiro gazed at Miss Ling, surprised to hear her insult a colleague.

She chuckled. "What? It’s true. She’s lucky I’m only calling her a witch. You’ll find that the others call her much worse names."

Hiro’s body slightly relaxed. Of course she’d be called much worse names. The woman was completely horrible.

Seeing as Hiro didn’t want to talk, Miss Ling sighed. "Look, whatever she said, don’t let it get to you but you can tell Mr Yamato. He’ll handle her."

Hiro managed a small smile. "Thank you."

With a reassuring nod, Miss Ling guided Hiro out of the office, his mood already sour because of Mina’s words. As they made their way down to the lobby, he couldn’t shake off the sting of her harsh comments no matter how hard he tried. No one has even said such things to him before. The woman didn’t even know why he was with Raiden but she just kept going on, calling him a whore and a fag.

If it weren’t for the situation he found himself, he wouldn’t even approach Raiden at all let alone be in a relationship with him.

Despite this, Hiro didn’t feel any regret being with Raiden. Raiden had been nothing but good to him. He was eating good food, sleeping well and he had no worries. He was even being satisfied in bed. Everything was shouldered by Raiden and what did he have to do?

Be a boyfriend for a year.

At first he thought the worst of Raiden but as time went on, he realised it wasn’t a bad deal and he enjoyed Raiden’s company.

Who was that Mina Endo to judge?

Raiden, who was waiting by the car, saw Hiro approaching and his face lit up immediately. When Hiro was close enough, he snaked an arm around his waist, pulling him close then pecked him on the lips. "I missed you."

Hiro’s face heated and his entire body relaxed. He melted into Raiden’s embrace and whispered the words; "I missed you too."

The action, coupled with the words made Raiden’s heart soar. He felt like his soul was taken to heaven.

His baby just said he missed him!!!!

He never thought Hiro would ever say any kind of words of affection. Nothing could definitely ruin his mood now.

"Where are we going?" Hiro asked, pulling away slightly.

"Lunch." Raiden replied. He then helped Hiro into the back seat, got in after him and closed the door. "We’ll be having lunch with some guests. Is that okay with you?"
