31. The caller was "Karen"
It was strange to Kloe that he asked that question, would he have taken her into the executive chamber without knowing that she was Kloe? Or was he trying to start a conversation?"Yes I am Kloe, thank you for this treatment Mr. Max, I mean Max," she corrected herself immediately." You are welcome Kloe, this is where I meet all my clients, so it was only right that I do the same for you, so how are you?" He asked her." I am fine-"You know that I can see some bruises on your face right? Even though you tried to hide it with my makeup it's still a bit visible, care to tell me what happened?" He asked." Oh about that," Kloe tried to explain even though she was a bit embarrassed by the fact that her makeup didn't hide the bruises as she planned."I had an accident at work that caused me to scratch my face against the wall yesterday, it has been treated though so I am good."" I am sorry to hear that, where do you work?" He asked her.It was amusing that not many people knew about Kloe

32. I'm tired
He sighed heavily and contemplated whether or not to pick up the call in front of Kloe. Knowing that neglecting the call may lead to unforeseen circumstances he decided to pick up."Hello Karen," he greeted her with a cheerful voice."I am in the car right now, I'll be home shortly,""I went to see a client, I'll be home shortly," he slightly raised his voice." Is there anything wrong with me going to meet up with a client? And like I said I'm in the car we will talk about this when I get home," he hung up the phone immediately." Your wife? You should go and meet her before she gets even angrier, trust me we ladies have a bad case of jealousy," Kloe spoke to him and waited for a response.The thought that he has a wife ran across her heart and broke them, but his response revived her hopes once more."She is not my wife, that is my aunty, Karen, always worried whenever I am out late, I mean does she think that I am still a little boy who needs supervision? "Max's little white lie re

33. The alluring scent of his perfume
"Tired? Why are you so tired? I waited for you for half an hour and you came back to tell me you are tired. What is going on Max, let me know if you are seeing someone else, it's that simple so we can stop fooling ourselves, neither of us is a kid anymore Max!" Karen's voice roared like a lion announcing its presence from a mile away."Is it an offense to be tired Karen?" Max asked her with a simple tone that exhibited a bit of offense."It is not an offense until a time like this, I came for you tonight, you know that I come to see you every Friday night, I reminded you this morning that I would be here and you even blew me kisses from the phone, and now you are too tired to even spend time with me," she ranted." I don't think I said that to you Karen, I only said that I am tired, I never said that I didn't want to spend time with you because I am tired, stop mixing things up!" This time Max raised his voice a bit which surprised Karen because he never did."You yelled at me Max," K

34. Thank you Kloe
She picked up the call without hesitation, she already suspected the reason why Stacy called and that was to ask how her surprise date was."It went well," she said and went ahead to explain the sequence of events to her."I believe you have just gotten yourself a new darling," Stacy sounded excited." Let's not be too hasty, he could be another Henry in disguise, men are unpredictable you know?"" Haha, you are right, so has he asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" Stacy inquired." Girl! We only went out last night, what were you expecting? A wedding the next day? When are you going to bring home a man of your choice, let's forget about me now," Kloe laughed while playing with her bedsheet." That is not important to me now, anyways I wanted to invite you over later today by five pm, I wanted to tell you when you get to work but it seems you wouldn't be coming today, I'm hosting a party for my brother's girlfriend." " Oh wow, that is nice, I will be there, and I will be at work soon

35. Thank you Henry
"What is he doing here?" Kloe exclaimed but not in a loud voice."I am wondering the same, how did he even get an invitation, I didn't send him one to him, give me a second," Stacy left her speechless.Another night where she was happy, was about to be ruined by the presence of this one man that she didn't want to see.Stacy fumed with anger, she had specifically handed out all the invitations herself yet this one man showed up, walking towards the entrance she wondered how he got in." I'll kill these security men for letting him pass without an invitation, " she said but in an instant, her demeanor changed when a friend of hers walked in." Fred," she grumbled with a clenched fist and walked faster towards the entrance." Hello Stacy, " the man who caused Kloe to frown greeted her and she replied apathetically."Hi," and walked away.She grabbed Fred by the arm and took him by the corner."Sheesh! Relax Stacy it's not like I am a thief or something, don't make everyone here see me a

36. I'll call it an emergency
" I left for a minute and this happened? Henry is annoying," Stacy scoffed angrily as she walked closer to her sobbing friend." I am sorry I ruined the beautiful party you threw for me-" Nonsense! " Stacy interjected." You didn't ruin anything, that stupid man is so… argh, listen you can't let him make you like this, honestly I feel like you are finding it hard to let him go Kloe. "" Maybe I am, I see him and I miss everything but I can't see myself going back to him," Kloe retorted." Then move on, " Stacy uttered." I want you to go back out there, have fun, and pretend like none of this ever happened okay?"" This is not a movie or a storybook Stacy, it's impossible to even go back out there, I have embarrassed myself enough for one night. " Said Kloe." Kloe, I am pleading with you, please let's go back in there and be happy, by the way, he left already," saying this, Kloe was shocked."He left?" She asked."How?" "How else, I asked him to leave, not directly but I instructed

37. Why must it be Kloe?
Kloe was speechless, she didn't expect a sudden request from him, nor did she expect him to plead in such a manner.She had her fears and worries, already she was uncertain about his motives, and suddenly taking her out to where she doesn't know was even scarier but she didn't want to seem like a difficult person."Give me a minute I'll call you back okay?" She told him and disconnected the call.She turned around to see if Stacy had left but luckily she was still there speaking to a guest. She didn't want to interrupt their conversation immediately so she waited for about five minutes, once she saw that the conversation would take longer she decided to make the choice herself."Should I trust him, it is not like he would hurt me and he seems to like me, also I think I should ask where he plans to take me, also is it a good idea to go with one of my security guards, that would be weird so no, aargh Kloe think." She argued with herself and entered the car." Can I go now, mam? " Her dr

38. future Mrs. Max Charleston I supposed?
Outside Kloe's apartment, his luxurious BMW i7 was packed while he waited, he was nervous but also couldn't wait to see her.His eyes were fixed on her gate until she stepped outside, her dressing alone caused his jaws to drop, what did he expect of a fashion designer?The night light reflecting on her skin gave him a tingling sensation, she was stunning and he couldn't take his eyes off her, he was a man who was attracted to physical beauty."Sorry I took a while, had to touch up my makeup a bit," she said as soon as she opened the door."No problem Kloe, you look stunning with or without makeup," he remarked."Have you ever seen me without makeup, because you sound like you have," Kloe uttered jokingly."Natural beauty cannot be hidden, it's obvious," he smiled at her and this warmed Kloe's heart, but she reminded herself not to get too comfortable." So what's so urgent, where are you going? " Kloe asked briskly, she needed to be certain of her destination to make arrangements for

He realized that she was bored out and felt terrible for putting her in such a condition."If only I had a way to keep her interested," he thought to himself while stealing a glance at her. "Are you okay?" He asked her even though he knew that she wasn't."I am, it's a long conversation here tonight, your job is entirely different from mine so I'm kinda lost but I'm fine," Kloe responded."You are bored aren't you, you can tell me the truth, I wouldn't mind taking you home," he said to her, he was tempted to touch her hand again but refrained to avoid being weird."No, no, take your time, I had fun listening to the architectural debate earlier, I'll be fine," even though Kloe knew that it was a difficult task to remain in such an ocean of boredom, she wanted him to enjoy his night.If only she could make use of her phone while the conference was on without drawing attention to herself, she wouldn't have any problem at all, her fingers do the scrolling on the screen while everything e

[ That night] Max's story 1
"I'm not sure why, I guess I just didn't want to" Max interrupted her."Don't say it, you don't want to look prideful, you will watch me flaunt my wealth in front of you and you probably laughed at me inside," he said to her but he spoke like it was a joke."No it's not like that, I just don't like mentioning that to people, that's all, besides it makes no difference," Kloe uttered while playing with her purse."Well it makes a difference now, you own Free Fly, your company made the clothes I'm wearing yet no one knows the master behind it, don't you think it's an honor to sit in the same car with you," he said and this made Kloe blush on the inside."It's just clothes, I believe you are more than that, it's time to go home now, I'm very tired," Kloe confessed and he smiled at her and said."I thought you would not tell me, somehow you plan to be a superhero this night," he added with a slight chuckle before starting the car and driving off.Kloe was happy that she spent the night wit
