"How the hell is this possible?! That too in-..." Chloe stopped to look at her hand watch before exclaiming back in her previous loud tone. "Two hours!"
She looked at the new attached room with Sebastian's office in astonishment. It was her new room which Sebastian managed to build or renovate whatever within two freaking hours. It was mostly glass and board, so it's maybe a little bit understandable. But it still amazes her beyond limit.
This room is nothing like the previous one. It has some decorative objects like vases and paintings. It has a bookshelf too but there are mostly business related books and magazines where the company was featured. There were two other shelves which were filled with different files. A small coffee machine with ingredients and a small freezer too. The room has AC unlike the previous one and the furniture is expensive and more polished than the previous one.
"Everything i
SIX HOURS LATER"Ughh!! He is a monster!!" Chloe groaned under her breath while walking toward the coffee machine to make another cup of coffee for herself.She lost count after ten and she doesn't know which cup she was in right now. It was almost half past five in the afternoon. Everyone might have left already. She doesn't know as she was stuck in the room from the time Sebastian ordered her to complete all those files. She couldn't even protest or request to have less file for the day as he was already out of the door.She has never done so much work ever in her life. Just a few weeks ago she graduated from the business college with the highest GPA. She was born smart. She didn't even work that hard to get that mark. She can remember things by one interaction. So, graduating from college wasn't a tough thing for her.Her college days were pretty fun for her too. While her friend
"Great observation you got there, Chloe." Katherine said with a sarcastic smile before it was gone. "You are right. Something is wrong. Terribly wrong." She said. Chloe frowned at her with a worried look plastered on her face. She forgot about her work that she is yet to complete as at that moment caring for her friend became her priority. "What's wrong, Katherine? Anything I can help with?" She asked. "I don't know if you can help or not. But I really needed someone to let it out. I don't have anyone to share it with. My mother died while giving birth to me and dad is always out for business. Never really had any real friends to rely on too. So, thank you so much for being my friend, Chloe." Katherine said with a lot of sincerity and genuineness in her eyes and tone. "You are again being formal, girl. But as you are still learning phrases, I will look over it. Now tel
"Sebastian, how are you?" Katherine asked with a polite smile and got up from the chair. She walked toward him and gave him a small hug which he immediately cooperated with. "Hey, Katherine. I am good. I didn't know you were visiting today." He said in a monotonous tone after pulling back from the hug. "Yeah, because today I didn't come to visit you but my friend, Chloe." She said with a big smile which made Chloe smile back. "Oh god, you were serious about the friendship, huh?" He muttered under his breath which she didn't hear and looked at him with a small frown. "Did you say something?" She asked. "Yes, what were you talking about me?" He asked and looked at Chloe with a small glare. Chloe ignored him and looked at Katherine with her eyes a little widened, trying to tell her to not leave her in this situation. But Katherine did exactly that a
"Mr Domanco! Mr Domanco, wait! Listen!" Chloe shouted behind Sebastian who was already out of the building and was going to enter his car to drive out of the office premises. He stopped after hearing someone calling him from behind. He frowned a little before turning around to find the person and his frown deepened when he saw who it was. Chloe Jones, a walking disaster. She was currently running toward him in her high heels and he was sure that she would trip on them any moment. His eyes widened when that happened earlier than his imagination and she was already falling forward after losing her balance from those heels. He acted on impulse and quickly took two steps toward her to save her from falling flat on the ground and hurting herself. She didn't realize when one of her heels broke while running and she lost her balance. She closed her eyes and hugged the files she was
THE NEXT DAY"I am so sorry for the troubles, Bella." Chloe said as soon as she got inside the car. She put on her seat belts and put the file she was holding at the back seat.Bella started the car but not before throwing a frown at Chloe."Why are you saying sorry?" She asked in confusion."You have to drive me everywhere now. It's such a hassle, right?" Chloe asked with a small guilty smile."Are you crazy, Chloe?" Bella bellowed at her in an angry tone. "I can't believe you just said that! You just pushed me away by saying that!" She exclaimed with a hurt expression on her face."Bella, you know that's not what I meant." She said and gave her a sad look."I don't know, Chloe. But I want you to know that, you are not only my best friend but my sister too and doing anything for you was never a trouble. It will never be
"Miss Jones? Where's the file I asked you to get?" Sebastian asked in a hushed tone while glaring at Chloe murderously. Chloe, who was praying till now for him to not notice, cursed under her breath. They were already in the meeting and the meeting had already started five minutes ago. She entered the meeting without the file which she doesn't have at that moment. "Wh...why d..do you ne...need the file?" She asked while stammering and trying her best to meet his eyes. He frowned seeing her acting weirdly. "Don't tell me you forgot the file at home!" He exclaimed while making sure to keep his voice under control and glared at her. She gulped nervously after seeing that she got caught earlier than she expected. "Well, okay look! Don't freak out but yes, I am not finding the file. I clearly remember taking it out with me but I might have forgotten it in the car! But don't worry
"I just heard what you did, Chloe and it was really impressive. You are really talented." William Domanco said with an appreciative smile, making Chloe feel proud."Thank you, William. It feels good to know that at least someone thinks that I am talented. Otherwise there are people who think I am a brat, spoiled, cheap enough to do anything to make someone lose a deal and what not." She said in a taunting tone while directing it clearly at Sebastian who listened to it but didn't say anything.They were in Sebastian's office. She was standing beside Sebastian's chair where Sebastian was sitting on while William, Daniel and Mason were sitting in front of them. The meeting ended half an hour ago. Mason was present in the meeting and he was the one to fill William up with what happened after he came to visit his sons."Who's is so stupid enough to think about you like that?" William asked while faking confusion a
Silence. There wasn't silence everywhere though, just in the table Chloe was in. Never in her life has she ever imagined that there will be a time when awkwardness will accompany her when she is with her father. It's a really disturbing feeling. Currently she is in a restaurant, with her father, waiting for him to speak up about why he has called her here. He was the one who called when she was in office, planning a lunch date with Sebastian Domanco. Now only she realised why Sebastian was so casual about taking her to lunch, because he knew she would get that call. So, what is it about? "Uhh… the food is getting cold. I will start first." She said in an awkward tone while cringing a lot at how disturbing and strange she sounded. She went ahead to pick up the spoon without giving another look at her father who was still looking at her intently. "Why do you l
