Chapter 165: Change the Mindset

Lisa's POV

I didn't know what exactly I was supposed to say to Susan at that moment because I knew that she was sending me out into a trap. How could she lie about sending me out to go and clear up the cups in the living room when she was previously sending me out to what will be a conversation with Lex, who I knew was still out there?

"You really came all this way to make me go clear up the cups in the living room?" I asked her again just to be sure that I had heard her right, and Susan looked me in the eyes, nodding her head in agreement, making me open my eyes even wider in shock because I never expected her to be taking Lex's side so soon.

"Are you sure that he already left? Because after what he said today I do not want to see him or speak to him again, and he can do whatever he wants to do because I don't care anymore," I said to her, rolling my eyes as I wrapped my arms around my chest, staring at her and waiting anxiously for her response.

"He already left, and I need you to snap out of those teenage drama things and go clear up the club in the living room. Believe me, I don't know what will happen to you when I walk out of my room in a few minutes and the cups are still there," she said to me, and without waiting for me to say a word or even open up to her that I knew exactly what she was doing, she walked away from me, walking directly into her room while I stood there before mine completely helpless.

Without knowing what else to do, I began to drag my feet out of my room towards the living room where I was sitting while Lex was still waiting because she had given him the explicit instructions to wait so she could go and get me out, and she just succeeded in doing that even though I knew ahead of time.

"I cannot believe that you already have my cousin in your arms and she is already making excuses for you lying to me that you left only to send me out here so I can clear up the cups that are obviously not here in the living room?" I said to Lex, glancing at the table, which was completely empty, before raising my gaze up to him as I accused him of bewitching my cousin.

"Believe me, Lisa. "I had to beg her to get you out because I like to talk to you, and I don't want to walk out of this place without having a word with you, knowing that I had provoked you with my decisions, which you were completely against," he said to me, and for a second I was staring at him in silence, not sure what I was supposed to say to him.

"I'm sure you had a very extensive conversation with my cousin, and I hope for your sake that she was able to convince you and make you see that what you are doing is wrong, but if you think that you are all-knowing and you still want to stick with what you're doing, then my decisions still stand, Lex. I'm not going to be doing this with you if you're going to kill yourself," I said to him, standing on the other side of the table as I stared directly at him.

"I have decided to give your perspective considerable thought, and once I am done thinking about this, I am going to reach out and let you know if we are doing this or not. I know it's difficult for you to understand me right now, but I would kill myself even though I survive this and in any way hurt you."

"Then kill yourself now. Can't you see what I am driving at here, Lex? Does it make any sense that we are trying to save you and you are plotting a way to save me? It means I am fighting for no cause; I mean, a person I am giving up so much to save does not even believe that he is worth saving. I want you to change the mindset and believe that you are worth the save and you are deserving of a very beautiful life, which you are going to get, or else I am going to opt out of this and you would be in it alone."

"I completely understand, and I promise you that I'm going to give it a long thought, and maybe if I come up with some other better way for us to go about this, then I am going to let you know, but for now it still hasn't settled within me knowing that if I go there right now, your life will be in danger."

"May be in danger. It is not a fact, Lex; it is not something you know. It is not like it is a sure consequence for this mission; it only happens when things do not go the way we want them to go, which I completely doubt, knowing that after everything we've been through there is a whole chance that we are fated mates and that we are going to be perfect in this because I was never faking anything and neither were you, or were you?" I asked him.

"No, Lisa. "I was never faking anything, and I have been feeling connected to you right from the beginning, and that is the WV reason we have come this far. I swear to you, I have never faked anything to you," he said to me, making me narrow my eyebrows in surprise because I was honestly confused.

Then why do you doubt now? Why do you have so many doubts that you are plotting a way to divert the consequences if they should be a result of inappropriateness when you are completely sure that this is genuine and not faked?" I asked him, genuinely curious.
