What are you wearing

Nero is not a man who fraternities in the place of his work. He always maintains a healthy distance from the waitresses working there. The dress code was meant to be sexy, just like Chloe is carrying it like a pro.

He liked her in her jeans and t-shirt. He liked her when she was forced to wear those fancy dresses 4 years ago. And he likes her now in this sexy outfit.

But the thought of everyone out there looking at her like this made him feel possessive, jealous, and angry.

"What the hell are you wearing Chloe" he snapped at her angrily.

Chloe was not expecting to see him here out of all the places. She never thought he would be her boss.

She trembled with fear when she heard the fury in his voice. She prepared herself for the worst. Her time with Daniel taught her to always expect the worst from these men. They are merciless and can easily kill without blinking.

But for some odd reason, she is hurt by his anger. She always thought about him as her protector, who helped her to come back home from Mexico. He didn't leave her there to fend for herself after killing Daniel.

He bought her home to her scum of a father. He showed her a starting point to start over again. But he is a small part of her past. 

The moment she saw him, she remembered Daniel and how cruel he was. So she panicked and ran away a couple of days ago. But then again, she was not expecting to see him again.

When Nero saw her tear strained trembling form, he cursed himself. His intention was not to scare her. But her outfit made him angry. 

"I. My Uniform" she whispered with teary eyes.

Nero is feeling like an asshole. Nothing usually fazes him. He sent so many waitresses sobbing their eyes out when they tried to flirt with him. But nothing made him feel this bad.

'Why now, why her?' he thought with frustration.

He cooled himself down before talking to her again.

"Keep the bottle there and go," he said with less heat in his words this time.

Chloe placed the bottle on his table and left his office hurriedly.

Nero then dialed Matteo and asked him to come to his office.

"Boss" Matteo greeted after a couple of minutes.

"Why did you hire Chloe?" Nero came directly to the point, no beating around the bush.

It's his nature to be direct and talk to the point.

Matteo is stunned.

'Boss still remembered her name?' he thought.

"She needs this job to save some money for her college which starts in another 2 months. So I decided to hire her, as she has experience in waitress duties" Matteo explained.

When Nero heard his underboss, his face became cold.

"You know all this about Chloe how?" Nero asked coldly.

The thought of Matteo in any kind of relationship with Chloe sends his possessiveness into overdrive.

When Matteo heard the coldness in his boss's words, he began to panic. It's the sign that shows that his boss could snap if he didn't like Matteo's answer.

"You only told me to keep an eye on Mia's friends. Chloe is Mia's best friend. Chloe doesn't know who Mia is and Mia doesn't know we know Chloe. That's why I am keeping tabs on her" Matteo rushed to explain.

Nero calmed down marginally.

He is on edge. The look on her face when she was leaving his office is making his heart heavy for some odd reason.

"You can go now," he told Matteo. 

After sitting in his office for half an hour, he became restless. He decided to go check the main floor.

But when he was going downstairs, he saw Chloe going out of the pub in her jeans and t-shirt. Unknown to him, his feet followed behind her.
