~ Chloe ~

I had to bite my lower lip to prevent the cuss word about to erupt, as I strode out of the meeting, Kanyin beside me.

That didn't at all go as planned.

Not at all.

It was supposed to be my way of reminding him of my position and how many great ideas I could come up with that would let him know this wasn't that dumb Chloe he knew three years ago.

Of course, I'd succeeded in that part.

But the avoiding him own…

That, I did not— at all— succeed in, because here I was, probably going to be in another country with him, both of us foreseeing a project.

What the heck was wrong with me?

I'd have refused it when he'd offered, but just the thought of him figuring out I was obviously trying to avoid him, pissed me off to the bones.

I couldn't at all imagine that happening.

And so I'd done the dumbest thing… I'd agreed to travelling all the way to another continent.

Far away from everyone else.

And to a foreign land, where I will be alone with him.
