Chloe is said that Nero became angry with her. But it's not her mistake. It's their uniform and she is just following rules.

'Why are feeling sad Chloe? You met that guy after four years. Even before this day, you both barely talked to each other. It's a wonder that he still remembers you. Don't think about him. You already have too much on your plate already. Like how you would go back home safe and sound. It's already close to 1 in the morning' Chloe thought worriedly, looking around her.

The subway station is empty and she is the only one standing here waiting for a train.

There is also a homeless man sitting not too far away from where she is standing.

He is looking at her weirdly. She is getting scared.

Just then her train came and she stepped inside gratefully.

Nero is in the shadows, following her closely.

He too saw the homeless guy and noticed a gun under his blanket.

'Human trafficking' he thought.

He too stepped inside the train and hid himself well away from her.

But he always had his eyes on her.

The homeless man texted something on his phone and two people boarded the train in the next station. 

The train is empty, except for Chloe, Nero, and those two guys. They are bulky and tall. They don't consider Nero a threat at all.

Nero has lean muscular physic. His 8 pack abs are covered under the black shirt he is wearing. He discarded his jacket in his office.

They looked at Nero arrogantly. What they don't know is that Nero is faster than them and practices taekwondo daily. No one has ever won in a one-on-one boxing match with him and he can shoot even a moving target accurately.

"Let's get take the girl and get down in the next station," one of them told the other one.

Nero gritted his teeth angrily.

Human Trafficking Is one thing that he doesn't allow anywhere in all of the states which are under his control. But it seems some people are still doing it without his permission.

'Trying to Kidnap Chloe? Try your best ' he thought coldly.

These two goons don't know that their luck is going to end today and they will get caught by none other than Nero Vitiello himself.

Chloe looked at the two guys who just boarded the train. Something in their behavior is telling her to be on alert. She placed her palm inside her handbag and searched for the pepper spray can inside. When she found it, she held it tightly in her hands.

Chloe looked at the black shirt guy, who is facing away from her. He is standing between the goons and Chloe.

'He might help me if I ask him' she hoped.

Slowly she walked towards him and cleared her throat. 

"Hey you, come here" one of the goons called her.

Chloe's eyes widened with fear.

"Help me, please" Chloe pleaded with the black shirt guy.

Slowly Nero turned his head sideways and looked at her.

Chloe gasped when she saw Nero standing there. For some odd reason, she felt safe.

"Nero" she whispered.

He felt his heart skip a beat when he heard her calling him by her given name.

"Close your eyes. If you have earphones, put them on and listen to some music. Don't open your eyes until I tug your earphones off" he instructed softly.

She nodded her head and did exactly what he said.

She closed her eyes and began to listen to some random music. She is scared. She has an idea of what would happen now. But she decided not to think about it now.

The two guys charged for him, but Nero kicked one of them just below his ribs and punched the other one in his throat. Both the guys fell on the floor groaning with pain.

Nero removed his gun and shot them on their legs, effectively stopping them from escaping.

He then texted Matteo to clean this and tie these two and the homeless guy in that first station.

In the next station, he led Chloe out of the train and then towards his waiting car outside the station.

When they reached his car, he tugged her earphones off.

Chloe opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. Her house is still a few blocks away from here. It's a 10-minute walk from here. 

"Thank you, I can go from here" she whispered not meeting his eyes.

He simply opened his car door and gently pushed her inside.

Chloe is surprised.

"I can go from here" she tried again. She doesn't want to trouble him. 

But Nero closed his side of the door and began driving towards her house, which he knows from her employee records.

Chloe sat there quietly until she saw her apartment.

He stopped the car and waited for her to get down.

"Thank you," she said softly and rushed out of the car. 

He waited until she is safely inside her apartment building before driving off towards his.
