Dylan adjusted his glasses and shook his head. "What's her problem?" He wondered.

He took one last look at her door before entering into his apartment.

"Home sweet home" He smiled broadly and took off his tie.

Dylan moved to one of the adjoining doors and opened it, which exposed his gigantic and beautiful dressing room. It has various brands of clothing, from suits to designed and casual wears.

There were also neck ties, bow ties, shoes, wristwatches and all of such sort. He stood at the center of the room and watched everything before him. It was indeed a marvelous sight.

Chloe slurped the cold noodles from the cup and quickly drank water when she tasted how chilly it was.

"Goodness" She exclaimed.

"By the way though…" Chloe whispered to herself after remembering who she saw earlier. "What's my CEO doing here? Why…Why" She asked herself.

"Could he be living here? He had better not or I'll be busted. I'll be in deep shît, I tell you" She sighed deeply.

"If he's really living here, I need to be extra careful or else, I don't even want to think about it"

THE NEXT DAY×MORNING

Chloe exhaled and inhaled deeply before slowly opening her door. After peering and seeing the coast was indeed clear, she smiled to herself and came out from the room. She quickly locked the door and ran to the elevator.

"Wait please!" She shouted, seeing the elevator was closing already.

The person in there was kind enough to open it right up, which enabled Chloe to enter.

"Thank you" Chloe smiled and took her gaze to him. However, her smile soon disappeared, seeing it was none other than her CEO.

"Oh shît" She thought and quickly covered her sweaty face with her long hair.

Dylan, who was by her side, kept looking at the weird woman. "What's wrong with her now?" He thought.

Chloe was very relieved when the elevator opened. She sped off like flash, leaving Dylan in awe.

"Gosh. She's indeed a strange woman" He thought, shaking his head.

Dylan went out and entered his Bugatti, which he drove off with. Chloe, who had been hiding in a corner, sighed in relief and came out.

"I hope he didn't recognize me" She whispered and bit her lip.

Chloe looked at her wristwatch and gasped loudly. "I'm fûcking late!" She thought and flagged down a taxi.

*

"Miss Ariel?" Chloe heard a familiar voice and turned back. It was Ellen. Chloe smiled at her.

"The CEO is here already" Ellen reported.

"Yeah, I know. Does that make me late?" Chloe asked.

"Not really. It's still 7am… but how did you know?" Ellen asked slowly.

Chloe blinked her eyes fast. "Uh… I…I saw his car outside, yeah! His Bugatti" She laughed nervously.

Ellen looked confused. She shook her head and said; "I don't think so. He already left with his car. He went to see his sister"

Chloe felt stupid. "Oh, I see"

"How did you know he brought a Bugatti today? You didn't see it outside, did you? You are acting suspicious, Chloe" Ellen smirked and Chloe faked a cough.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, On my way to work here, I saw him in his car. He was leaving"

"Oh" Ellen mouthed. "Anyway, He emailed you based on his schedule this week, and he wants you to go through it. And also, there are paperwork he left on his desk, He said you should shred them at the machine"

"Okay, I will" Chloe said and went to her counter. She inhaled deeply and dropped her head on the desk. In less than a minute, she raised her head up.

"He went to see his sister? Why? Did anything happen?" She thought.

Chloe soon heard her phone ring, and she checked it out. It was an unknown number. After much hesitation, she finally accepted the call.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hello, Chloe" The voice said at the other end.

"Yes, this is Chloe. Who am I speaking with, please?" She asked.

"This is Clover. I've been trying to reach Ariel, but she isn't picking my calls" He said worriedly. "She never came to that date either" He further explained, and she bit her bottom lip.

"Actually, Ariel is... You know what, I will explain later, I promise. I'm quite busy now"

"Sure" Clover said and hung up.

Chloe sighed and kept her phone into her purse. "I guess he really does cares" She thought.

*

The maids and all household workers who saw an angry Dylan walking in bowed in respect. He totally ignored their greetings and walked straight to his mother's room.

"Where's Danielle?" He asked.

His mother sighed deeply and faced him. She was busy with her manicure.

"Leave" She ordered the maid and bowed and left.

"What's it again?" She inquired.

"Danielle pleaded with me yesterday to give her my debit card. I just saw the debit alert this morning. She never told me she would take this much. Damn, I'm pissed right now"

Mrs. McCoy scoffed. "C'mon, don't act like that. She's your sister and even a billion dollar won't change anything. You're a billionaire after all"

"Well, she collected that much without my awareness and I ought to know how she spent that that money"

"Calm down, son"

"Mum, tell me where she is, please" He said with a hoarse voice.

"Alright then. She's at the pool" Mrs. McCoy rolled her eyes. Dylan nodded and left immediately.

"Goodness. What's his problem?" She thought.

*

Dylan went upstairs and met Danielle on a swimming trunk inside the pool. She had sunglasses on, and she was holding a glass of champagne. Two of her old friends were with her, named Sasha and Jenny.

Jenny who's Asian and Korean by nationality has this knack for calling guys, brothers especially when she is familiar with them.

"Huhn! Isn't that your brother" Sasha whispered to Danielle who took her gaze to where Dylan was standing staring at the girls. She smiled at him.

Meanwhile, Dylan couldn't recognize any of the girls who seemed to be staring at him. Finding Danielle had this point was going to be hard.

"Brother!" He heard a joyful squeal.

"Danielle?" He whispered and came closer to the bubbly human at the center, who had her arm raised.

    Dylan sighed and walked up to the girls, who were smiling naturally at him. He faced the one who had raised her arm and smirked. "Let's talk, Danielle" He said, strictly without showing a tint of his white set of teeth.Jenny blinked her eyes, confusedly. Dylan was facing her, but he was referring to her as Danielle, who was just close to her."Have you suddenly gone blind, brother?" Jenny laughed.Dylan's eyes blinked a hundred times. It was only Jenny that called him brother in that squeaky tone."Oh Jenny" He cleared his throat dramatically whilst running his eyes at the ladies by her side to know who was his younger sister. Seeing nothing was working, he looked away."Danielle? Let talk. Meet me outside" He said and walked away.Danielle was watching him perplexed. She furrowed her brows and watched him leave. Her thoughts were endless."What could be wrong with him?" She thought. "He keeps acting weird or is he pulling some lame childish prank""Didn't you hear what your brother

    From his desk where Mr. Samson sat, he kept peeking from his spectacles at Dylan and a lady who happened to be his secretary. Dylan was sitting on the sofa while Chloe was close to him, on her feet to be precise. "Hmm… Hmm," Mr. Samson cleared his throat and adjusted his spectacles. "What's your name, young lady?" He asked, looking at Chloe, whose eyes seemed to be growing bigger out of nervousness. "I'm Ariel Peterson, sir" She said softly, and a grin enveloped on his lips. "You were the one who replied to my email this morning?" He asked and she nodded. Dylan nudged her and she turned. "What did you both talk about?" He asked in a whisper. "Nothing much" Samson who kind of heard him replied. Dylan faked a cough and looked away. "I asked why you didn't show up, and she replied saying; My boss is sorry, and he promises to show up to apologize properly" Samson quoted and Dylan scoffed. "Indeed, I said… Isn't that so, Miss Peterson?" Dylan uttered and Chloe smiled nervously. "An

He heard his mother's voice and his eyes bulged."Mum?" He called swerving his neck a bit like he would be able to see her face."Of course, It's your mother! Or don't I look like your mother any more because of my full makeup?" She asked and he smirked."Not at all, mum" He shook his head. "What are you doing here, though?""You mean I can't visit you?" She frowned and walked up to him."I'm not saying that""Anyway, I came to see you, my dear son. Did you eat the food that I prepared just for you?" She asked."Uh…It's still in the fridge""Oh Dylan! Why didn't you take it? Why?" She frowned and entered the room first, immediately Dylan unlocked it."I have something to tell you, son" She said and slowly sat down.

    Dylan had met his mother bleeding. He held her finger which blood oozed out from and looked around thinking he would find something to cover the cut with."How did this happen?" He asked, still looking around."I was actually chopping the veggies when it happened. I wanted to make something for you to eat tonight""You shouldn't have done that. Besides, the one in the flask could have been okay. Why bother yourself. For now, rinse your hand in the sink. I'm going to go get plaster to cover the cut so that it won't get infected" Dylan said and she nodded.He went into his room and changed into a casual wear before leaving the apartment.*CHLOE'S APARTMENT ~"Fûck.

He heard someone call his name and Chloe raised her head up. It was actually Jeffery who called him. He was driving on the road when he caught the two acting all lovey-dovey. He also didn't fail to take a picture and when he saw they had disengaged, he stopped his car and came out.Dylan turned his head and from his facial expression, he looked confused. He wondered who the person was."Dylan. What's up?" Jeffery winked and stretched his hand for a shake.Dylan looked at Jeffrey from head to toe. "Who could this be?"

Even her palms were dampened by her sweat."You didn't come to visit your friend" He said, and she quickly turned to look at his face."And what does that mean? Of course, I came to visit my friend. Do you know, think I'm a liar, huh?"He smirked and folded his arms, with his back now to the wall. "So… Where do you stay?" He asked.Chloe gulped hard and scratched her chest. She wondered if Dylan was a flirt. First, he flirted with her at the convenience store and now, He's asking her where she stays?"Isn't he a psycho now?" She thought and shook her head."Well, you haven't answered my question" He said and she snickered."And what makes you think I'll answer that?"

At the opposite side was a young and beautiful lady."Excuse me, who are you?" The lady asked.Dylan blinked his eyes fast and looked around. She was the only one who was alone so possibly, she could be his date."What do you mean by that? Are you trying to tease me now?"

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.

    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.

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.

She asked, wondering about the sudden scowl which appeared on his face."Water" He whispered, holding his forehead.Chloe sighed and looked around the car. She saw a bottle of water and opened it for him. "Here" She handed it to him.Dylan collected it and looked at her. "The pill" He requested."Yes right" She nodded and brought out one before handing it to him."Here," She whispered.Dylan inhaled deeply before taking it in.

"What's with that voice? Is she mad at me?" He thought.He attempted to open the door, but when he thought about the hoodie which was worn by his neighbor, he grew more anxious and worried."Could she be the one I managed to recognize?

"Maybe, I should go find out" He thought after a while and moved away from the door before heading to the elevator.*Dylan quickly ran down to see Chloe at the other side of the road.

She said aloud, crying the more.Her eyes went to her side to see her luggage standing there and staring back at her. After terminating her employment, Dylan handed the luggage to her.
