Shameless Chloe

Chloe's smile faded. She sat down beside him, her blue eyes shimmering with a wounded glint. "Are you still mad at me? I've apologized time and again for that heartbreaking breakup message I sent to Mother. You know she sent me to Switzerland, and there were a few burly guys following me day and night." Her voice quivered. "Not being able to call you was awful. I miss you so much."

Reginald's gaze softened, and he awkwardly patted her shoulder. "I know it's not your fault, dear."

Chloe wiped her eyes gently with a lace handkerchief, looking up at him with pleading eyes. "Then why have you been avoiding me?"

Reginald made a playful face. "The divorce isn't finalized yet. Coming here so late, people might talk."

As Chloe's hand crept up his thigh, Reginald squinted his eyes. "This is going too far now. It's completely out of bounds."

Chloe simply gazed at him through lowered lashes. "I don't care what people think, darling. I'm here now, so let's make the most of it, shall we?"
