Chapter: 54. She's Max's girlfriend"Karen Simone," Kloe whispered and quickly hung up the call, she didn't know why but it was probably a reflex action based on how she was feeling at the moment. "Are you okay Kloe? You seem lost for a second," Stacy's voice called her attention, she stepped out of the conference room to get something only to see Kloe holding onto the phone with a depressed expression. " Guess who just called me? "Kloe asked her. " Who, I can't think of anyone that will call you to make you look like this, did something bad happen? " Her face became worried as she answered. " Do you remember Karen? The one I told you about, from my campus days? " " The one that made your life a living hell on campus, which contributes to the reason for your success today? Then yes I remember her," " Hold on? " Stacy paused as if just remembered something. " Was she the one who called you?" She inquired and Kloe nodded affirmatively. Stacy was shocked, she found it hard to believe but not as much as Kloe herse

Chapter: 53. That same Karen Simone / Flashback/"Mam please, I did no such thing, I can't steal from you no matter what my situation is, please ma, this is all a lie, there is no way I did it, please don't fire me, I need this job I beg you," a young lady cried, pleading with tears in her eyes.This young lady was Kloe in her late teens when she worked at a clothing store just outside the campus.She was reported to her employer by one of her colleagues, claiming that she had stolen over a hundred dollars from the business, and since the accountant reported the money to be missing, with Kloe being one of the few workers who could access the store's safe, it was believable.A colleague who reported her was none other than Karen Simone, one of her mates in the university, a coworker, and also one of the newest staff in the clothing store having been hired only three weeks ago.Even before they began working together, Kloe and Karen were never on good terms, the reason being that Karen's ex-boyfriend broke up with her to

Rowan was tense as he looked at her, unable to stand it much longer he walked away, up the stairs towards Max's room."Hello, mam?"

Chapter: 51. I want her name, address and phone number "Who is she?" This was the first statement Max heard as soon as he entered his house, Karen was seated on the sofa, her face steaming with annoyance."Who are you talking about?" Max asked her, he was puzzled by the question even though he knew that Karen referred to Kloe, but he didn't know how she found out."Don't act foolish Max, you know who I am talking about, you were at Serene Lux hotel with her a few hours ago, and you don't need to ask me how I knew, look at this," she took out her phone and showed him a picture that caused his jaws to drop.It was a picture of him and Kloe as they got out of the car at Serene Lux Hotel, a friend of hers had taken the picture when she saw them at the hotel and sent it to her immediately.In the picture, he held hands with Kloe, although the camera did not capture Kloe's face because her back was turned away from the camera, Max's face was clear."That… " Let me guess," Karen interjected," A client? I never knew you hold your clients so pas

Chapter: 50. I would stop at nothing until Kloe is mine"Thank you for everything Max, and I promise, I'll get back to you, I just need to settle down with myself, I hope you understand," Kloe said to him wrapping her hand around him in a tight embrace.Max hugged her passionately, he had never felt more comfortable in the hands of a woman than he did with Kloe, she was someone he always loved to be around, but he was bummed when she declined his request to kiss her lips.He was embarrassed even remembering it but he was not aware of what came over him.As they walked out of the building, all eyes glared at them as always until they were seated inside the car.It was 5 pm when he dropped Kloe off at her house before leaving after giving her a broad and genuine smile.Once she had gone inside, Max rolled up the window and asked Rowan,"How do I get rid of Karen without being affected by my father's deal with her?""Sir I must be honest with you," Rowan retorted."That impossible," he added with a frown on his face. He was also unhappy that

Chapter: 49. I want to kiss you, is that weird?He took her hand and guided her towards the entrance, while Kloe tried to remain calm without thinking about anything stupid. She kept a smile on her face and responded to every greeting she received.Even though she was not extravagantly dressed, her beauty alone was an eye-catcher for most of the men in the building, even the women too stared at her, some with envious eyes and some without."Mr. Ben," the manager approached him."Yes, hello," Max greeted with a straight face."Please follow me this way sir, everything is ready like you requested," said the manager."I certainly hope that it is," Max retorted with closed teeth.They were led towards an exclusive elevator, reserved for people like Max, the elevator was luxurious, you don't even stand because there was a comfortable sofa inside where they sat, a cut of tea on a center table, a television for entertainment, and an air conditioner, getting rid of even the slightest moist inside the elevator.The elevator ride was short-l
