In the aspect of all that was happening, Chloe's phone erupted out its loud ringtone, and she got up immediately. "I'll go get that. Just go on with your call" She said and walked to her ringing phone.She opened her bag and took it out. Seeing Eric as the caller ID made her pout. "Hmm... Hmm," She cleared her throat before accepting the call."Hello, Eric?" She said softly."I'm sorry, but I had to call. I've been waiting for ages, and you are not yet back. I was simply worried and had to call. I just hope I am not disturbing you" He said."Not at all. You are definitely no't. I am also glad you called. It shows you are caring and that is nice" Chloe smiled."Really? Well, That's a relief, then. So, where are you? Are you still coming?" He asked."Uh…" Chloe's voice drifted off as she scanned the room. "I don't think so. It's very late""Oh… I… I have been waiting, you know""Yes, I do, and I'm sorry. Possibly, we could meet next time. Something just came up which is inevitable" She
Dylan's eyes quickly flew open when he heard loud knocks against the door. He was sitting on the couch and sleeping before he heard the knock. He heaved and took his face to the side to see Chloe resting on his left shoulder, sleeping as well. He attempted to wake her but thought otherwise when his eyes became intoxicated by her face, which happened to be blank, of course. He remembered her eyes and slowly shifted his gaze down to take a profound look when he heard another knock, louder than the former.This time, Chloe was the one to open her eyes and she was shocked to see her head resting on Dylan's shoulder. "Oh no!" She said aloud and jumped on her feet."I'm sorry, Sir. I… I didn't mean to" She apologized and bowed her head a bit. "I let the sleep take over me" She further said, hitting her head.Dylan faked a cough and stood up. "It seems Ellen is here. Let's go check" He told her, and she nodded, following him from behind."Mrs. Ellen, Is that you?" asked Dylan, as he peeped f
In Ellen's car and beside her, Chloe kept biting her fingernails bitterly with her eyes facing the windshield."Are you okay?" Chloe heard Ellen ask and she turned to her."Yes," Chloe responded with a smile."Huhn… So, you haven't told me where you stay" Ellen whispered."Just drop me at the next convenience store. I want to get something. My place is not too far away from here" Chloe replied."No, I insist I take you home directly"Chloe laughed wryly. "And why do you want to do that? I said I will find my way home after going to the closest convenience store here""Uhm… Alright then" Ellen forced a smile.The drive continued, quietly and smoothly. Ellen, on the other hand, kept stealing glances at Chloe, who wasn't even paying attention. Her mind was restless, and her eyes dug through the glass of the window, hoping she would see a convenience store nearby so that she would leave the uncomfortable car."Uh… Ariel?" Ellen called, timidly, and Chloe turned."So… Uh…" Ellen paused and
"What is wrong? Did something happen?" Dylan quickly asked."I think somebody is on my tail" Chloe responded, her voice still sounding shaky."Somebody is following you?" Dylan asked, trying to comprehend what she was saying."Yes!" She replied quickly and nodded."Why?" He asked, standing up, with an arm resting at his waist."How would I know?""Where are you now?" He questioned."In the taxi" She answered."Oh wait. You mean a taxi is behind you… And it seems it is tailing you?""It doesn't seem. The taxi is tailing me""How certain are you?""I have never been this convinced. For every stop and turn, It mimicked us. I'm certain we are being followed by the taxi behind. What do we do, I'm scared" She said.Dylan sighed. "Do you have any guesses who might be tailing you?""Well, I did… Not anymore" She replied and rolled her eyes."You did? Why aren't you suspecting the person anymore… Wait a minute… Were you suspecting me?""What! Not at all. Why… Why would I?" She stuttered and fa
Chloe shivered when she heard a loud squeal. She already knew who made that sound, obviously. She sighed deeply and looked away from the fashion magazine she was going through."Can you quieten down, Ariel?" Chloe sparked, with a scowl.Ariel was her roommate and the same age as her, 25. Chloe watched Ariel, who was looking very delighted, her eyes ogling down at her phone."Oh dear" Chloe sighed and shook her head since Ariel wasn't saying anything. She adjusted to the end of the bed she was laying on and turned the next page of the magazine."Ah!" Ariel squealed again, but this time, it sounded sorrowfully. She looked up at her friend and frowned, with her arms crossed."Okay, what's wrong? You had better start talking because I don't get your behavior" Chloe said.Ariel inhaled deeply and stood up. She walked to her friend and sat on the bed."This isn't good at all, Chloe" She said, shaking her head."What is it?" Chloe asked in a demanding voice."Tomorrow morning is my interview
Dylan adjusted his baseball cap, and studied the distant environment. He smirked and looked down at the golf club he was holding. He crouched, raised the club past his ear, and struck it down immediately. It hit the golf ball, which flew far."Wow, nice" A person voice was heard. Dylan furrowed his brows and watched the person come closer. He felt worried and anxious already since he couldn't recognize whoever it was.He has a predicament which is actually a secret. Not only that, but he even kept it from his entire family. He knew he wasn't really stable due to the frequent headaches he had, and even the dizziness was something he couldn't phantom.Thinking it was something minor and which simply would go away, he ignored it. However, all hell was let loose when he slipped down the stairs and hit his head really hard on it. Dylan passed out immediately and it after 10 hours, he woke up.When he did, he noticed something changed. He went outdoors and was so confused. He felt he needed
Danielle high heels kept clicking the titled floor stylishly. She was on latest designers from head to toe and looked expensive and beautiful. People kept staring with watering mouth. They couldn't help but murmur about who she could be or what she was doing in the company dressed like a non worker. She stopped by the elevator and entered. As usual, the people in there stared longingly at her with their mouths moving up and down, and to and fro. She inhaled softly when the door chimed and opened before her. She got down quickly and moved to her elder brother's office as directed by her mum. However, the scene she saw made her halt. Her brows raised as she watched, perplexed. She remembered how her brother normally avoided physical contact with people, and he even once told her he didn't believe in love and would never fall in love. And right now, he was hugging a lady tightly who by the looks of things doesn't fancy being hugged. "Damn" She chuckled. "So, It was all a lie, Poo" Dan
"What?" Dylan asked, wishing his voice never vibrated that way."It's me… Ariel" She said again, this time trying her possible best to remain calm."What's with the jacket?" He asked."I spilled coffee on my shirt" She answered."So, you…" Dylan's voice trailed off as he slowly moved to his desk. He sat on his chair and looked up at her."Were you trying to put me into trouble or what, tell me" He yapped.Chloe eyes blinked a hundred times out of confusion. She sighed silently and shook her head. "Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about""I should have fired you right now and right here, but since I already declared you are my secretary in front of my younger sister, I guess it means you'll be working for me, but please don't be annoying. I hate annoying people" He spoke with spite."Okay. Okay, sir" She replied fast."Start work tomorrow""What?""You heard me. Or, can you possibly work with me while smelling like instant coffee? Why didn't my sense of smell just go instead
