"Huhm… What are you doing, Sir?" asked Chloe, defiantly. Dylan pushed his gaze towards her and scoffed, scornfully."What do you mean? Didn't you ask me to hold you? Isn't that exactly what I'm doing?"Chloe chuckled, which triggered his annoyance. "Sir, I mean… You should hold me... wrap your arms around my waist. This will make you not to trip during the ride"Dylan felt stupid at that instant. He cleared his throat and quickly yanked his hand away from her arm. Chloe shook her head and faced front, then wore her helmet back on."Sir, You got to hold me" She reminded."I'm not deaf! Just ride along and don't mind me. I can handle this myself. Goodness! Must you talk? Or have you forgotten how late it's getting?" He scowled.Chloe sighed and whispered a sorry. She held the handles and soon started pedaling. Meanwhile, Dylan could feel his body wavering."Should I hold her?" He thought, his hands slowly reaching her waist side."No!" He thought aloud and took his hand further away. "N
Dylan grew more perplexed as he gazed at her. His eyes traced to her hand, which was latched on his wrist, like it was begging it to stay. He scoffed and clicked his tongue before asking;"So what? If you aren't Ariel Peterson, Who are you?""I am… I am…At that instant, Chloe's eyes flew open and Dylan snapped his hand away from her grip. He coughed dramatically and pulled his face away."What gibberish were you blabbing in your sleep? Stand up this instant and bring our things along. It's late" He said and left her.Chloe scratched her head confusedly and took the belongings before scurrying off.*"Sir!" Chloe called and descended the stairs. She finally caught up with Dylan, and they walked in accordance."Sir?" She muttered, and he spared her a glance."Did I say or do anything weird while sleeping?" She asked.Dylan scoffed and pulled out the sunglasses which he wore. "What do you think?" He asked.Chloe's eyes widened. "Sir?" She gulped."What are you doing? Hurry!" He gnarled
FEW MINUTES AGO*Dylan took off his undergarments and took the white towel from the hanger, which he wrapped around his waist. He danced his way to the bathroom, went nude and turned on the faucet of the shower.He wriggled his body as the cold water poured on him. He took the bar of soap and started massaging it on his body and his hair."Nice" He hummed, and closed his eyes and dug his fingers thoroughly into his hair."Wait, What?" Dylan muttered and quickly opened his eyes. He had noticed that the water finding it way from the nozzle was getting lesser, and it discomforted him."Ouch" He whined and quickly shut his eyes which were being stung by the froth.He traced his fingers to the hanger and quickly pulled the towel which he used in wiping his face."What's going on, seriously?" He thought, feeling vexed. He scanned the area for a while, and that was when his eyes caught a huge cockroach on the wall staring back at him like it wanted to attack.Dylan's mouth tore open and he q
"I… I don't understand. Do you want to come over to California because of drinks? You ought to be kidding" Chloe forced a lame laugh.Eric tittered. "Yeah, I was kidding""Goodness. You almost had me there. Look, I apologize for not keeping to my part of the promise, but we will have those drinks when I'm back""Sure. I understand you""Yeah… Goodnight""Yeah. Have a nice sleep" Eric whispered, nodding his head.Chloe was about to end the call when Eric suddenly screamed, "Wait!""Huh? Huh? Yes, What… What's it?" She stuttered."I'm sorry. Did I scare you?""Well, Kind of," She shrugged."I apologize. Hmm… If you don't mind, Can you tell me where you work? I would love to pick you up whenever you are back and free"Chloe bit her lip. She didn't want him to know anything about her now he knew her real name. It could get her in trouble."How about I tell you that physically. Goodnight" She said and quickly ended the call."Hmm" Chloe inhaled deeply and shifted her phone away. She looked
She found herself following the familiar lady from behind. Chloe could swear it was Ariel. She had the same oval face, and the dull brown eyes. Her lips were full, just like Ariel."It should be her" Chloe thought, stretching her head to have a better look at her.However, She noticed this lady didn't walk like Ariel, and it became more confusing for her. Chloe contemplated if she should call her by the name 'Ariel' but her mouth had other plans. It suddenly went mute and wasn't going to say a word at the moment.Chloe's legs gave a swift halt when this lady entered a door. The door opened right away again, and she stretched her neck farther."Are you here for the interview?" She heard a voice which brought her back to her senses.Chloe quickly took her head back, and she met with the Secretary who had shown Dylan his way to the interviewing room."Huh? Wait a second. Aren't you Mr. Dylan's Secretary?" She asked."Uhm… Yes" She replied after a hard swallow."What are you doing here? I
FEW MINUTES EARLIER*The lady entered the interview room and the man in suit locked it immediately as per the higher ups order.She stopped her movements and bowed her head to the five interviewers sitting at the high table. From what she saw, there were four men and a woman."You can have your seat" She heard the sexiest voice say. It was deep and appealing too.She was nervous, but she held it in and moved to the table which was meant for her. Now, she saw herself facing the five.Her eyes peeked at their faces, hoping to know the perfect one that matched that nice voice she had heard earlier. She wished she had seen the person then, but her head was still low in a small bow."Miss… Hailey Peterson?" She heard the same voice which made her heart jump."Stop" She never expected herself to whisper to her racing heart. The most handsome face was staring at her. His dark hair which was glittering perfectly matched with his diamond - shaped face. He also had a straight nose with a high b
Dylan snuck inside the convenience store like he was a mugger. He slowly walked to the shelf where different sanitary pads and tampons were placed. Seeing some ladies there made him go back."I'm going to kill that Ariel of a being later on" He swore with his resentful eyes glittering."Mr. Dylan?" He heard a small voice the instant he took about three steps. He turned and made a confused facial expression at the onlooker."And you are?" He asked, wondering how the lady knew his name. He couldn't even recognize her due to the so-called face blindness."You must have forgotten me. It's Hailey Peterson" She said calmly.Dylan briefly glanced away. "Another Peterson. They won't be the end of me" He whispered to himself."Sir? You don't remember me?" She asked.Dylan had a retentive memory, of course, and that initially explains how he was able to recognize the men he came to see in California. The involuntary gestures they made, the different styles of their hair and even the sound of th
Dylan and Hailey both walked out of the convenience store and proceeded to the company. They walked side to side amidst bizarre quietness. Hailey cleared her throat loudly as a form to end the awkward silence between them. Dylan just glanced at her."I don't really know whether this is personal or not" She whispered, and he glanced at her once more."Can I ask this?" She muttered, her eyes gawking at the floor.Dylan nodded briefly. "Yeah" He simply replied."Can I get a business card from you?" She asked, and her eyes shared contact with Dylan's."Business card?" He asked and she nodded."Is it possible?" She forced an awkward smile."You took my phone number earlier and now, you want my complimentary card. Seriously, what do you want from me?" He asked as they both entered the company."You" Hailey thought within."I'm free to give whomever I please, but I don't think you'll be needing it, but why do you want it by the way?" He asked."Just… this and that""This and that?""Uh… Yeah
