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

    After the statement he made, Dylan walked out of a perturbed looking Hailey, who blatantly folded her fists tightly. She turned to her side and that was when her gaze fell on Chloe who was staring like she witnessed something magnificent.Hailey scoffed lowly and walked towards her. She stretched her hand towards her and made no utterance. Chloe could only stare at her."Don't gawk and take this" She said coldly."What's that?" Chloe asked.Hailey smirked irritatedly and squeezed the black bag into Chloe's palm, which she quickly held right away."Wait. What's this?" Chloe asked, looking at Hailey who was now walking away.She suddenly stopped and went back to Chloe. "Are you Mr. Dylan McCoy, Secretary?" She asked, and Chloe nodded, reluctantly."Give it to me" Hailey said arrogantly with her arm forward and palm opened."Huh? What? This?" Chloe raised the bag to her face."Give me this complimentary card" Her voice was rather harsh."Why... Why should I?" Chloe asked, with her eyes b

    Chloe rushed to Dylan and pulled him away from Hailey, who was still looking shocked."Dylan. Dylan!" She called aloud. His temperature was extremely high, and he was sweating madly."You're burning up. Let me take you to the nearby hospital" She said."I'll come along," Hailey chipped."Wait, What happened to him?" Mr. Diego came up to them with his secretary by his side. People were beginning to gather and soon, they started chattering loudly."He's ill," Chloe said with a sad voice."I'll take him to the hospital. My car is outside. Let's go" Diego said. He turned to his secretary and gestured to her to leave.She bowed and left them.Chloe started taking Dylan's weak but heavy weighted body away. His arm clung around her shoulder while she held him around his waist. He moved lackadaisically while Chloe supported him. Hailey walked slowly from behind and couldn't help but anxiously bite her finger nails."No," Dylan whispered weakly.Chloe halted immediately. "No?" She mimicked and

    Dylan soon slumped down back to the bed, ending the slight nudge between his lips and Chloe's.He went back to sleep, leaving Chloe shocker than ever."Goodness!" She gushed."What was that?" A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Chloe turned immediately. Her eyes widened when she saw Hailey standing and looking at her."What? How did you get here?" She asked."I've got my ways and oh, the door wasn't locked," Hailey replied. "But, what was that, earlier?" She asked, and Chloe swallowed."And what do you mean?" Chloe asked."Don't play dumb! I saw you kissing Dylan" She barked.Chloe scoffed. "I have never been this humiliated before. Who do you think I am? Do I look like someone who grew up kissing any guy that's ill?""So, what are you insinuating?" Hailey questioned, her eyes squinting. "Are you trying to tell me, he kissed you first?"Chloe felt furious at that point. She stood up and walked towards Hailey. "Think what you want, but don't you think you're going too far? I mean

    "But, why are you asking all this, Sir? Is there probably a problem?" Chloe had asked, politely."Nothing. You can go" He shook his head, replying. Chloe nodded and left him."Hmm" Dylan whispered, touching his jaw. "Who was that person then? I wonder"*"What's up with him?" Chloe thought to herself. She walked to her room and laid on her bed. At that moment, she remembered the hoodie he was referring to."Huh! That is Ariel's hoodie. Why is he asking about that, though?" She murmured, feeling sleepy already.Chloe's eyes were already shutting, but it opened quickly when she remembered something she couldn't have."That hoodie! Isn't that what I wore the day when I helped Dylan when he got drunk? Why… Why was he asking me about the hoodie?" She gasped, shockingly."Does he think I'm the one!"*"Did you meet or speak with Mrs Tin yesterday? Due to my illness, I couldn't meet with her" Dylan said as he slowly knotted his neck tie."I did message her later on. She said she would send s

    Chloe slurped on her tasty noodles that almost made Dylan puke. He kept glaring at his noodles as he ate."Hey, Neighbor" She kicked him, and he took his eyes up."Thanks for this" She winked, slipping the half boiled egg into her mouth.Dylan simply smiled awkwardly and raised his mug to drink water."Remember that day when we first met?" Chloe smirked and snatched the mug from him. Dylan fumed lightly but managed to conceal it."I came with excitement. I even brought expensive and sweet cookies for you, but you wouldn't even cooperate. It's so annoying. I ended up beating you up and trust me, I apologize""Yes, I've heard you. Since you're done eating, Can you leave now?" He asked, and she stole a quick glance at the luggage."Why?" She narrowed her eyes, exaggerating anger. "Are you trying to chase me out?""No. Not at all. I was simply asking in a very polite manner" He forced a smile."Good. Because I was hoping I would sleep over" She yawned and laid on the sofa."Wait! What!" He

    "What is wrong? Did something happen?" Dylan quickly asked."I think somebody is on my tail" Chloe responded, her voice still sounding shaky."Somebody is following you?" 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. The taxi is tailing me""How certain are you?""I have never been this convinced. For every stop and turn, It mimicked us. I'm certain we are being followed by the taxi behind. What do we do, I'm scared" She said.Dylan sighed. "Do you have any guesses who might be tailing you?""Well, I did… Not anymore" She replied and rolled her eyes."You did? Why aren't you suspecting the person anymore… Wait a minute… Were you suspecting me?""What! Not at all. Why… Why would I?" She stuttered and fa

    In Ellen's car and beside her, Chloe kept biting her fingernails bitterly with her eyes facing the windshield."Are you okay?" Chloe heard Ellen ask and she turned to her."Yes," Chloe responded with a smile."Huhn… So, you haven't told me where you stay" Ellen whispered."Just drop me at the next convenience store. I want to get something. My place is not too far away from here" Chloe replied."No, I insist I take you home directly"Chloe laughed wryly. "And why do you want to do that? I said I will find my way home after going to the closest convenience store here""Uhm… Alright then" Ellen forced a smile.The drive continued, quietly and smoothly. Ellen, on the other hand, kept stealing glances at Chloe, who wasn't even paying attention. Her mind was restless, and her eyes dug through the glass of the window, hoping she would see a convenience store nearby so that she would leave the uncomfortable car."Uh… Ariel?" Ellen called, timidly, and Chloe turned."So… Uh…" Ellen paused and

    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. "Oh no!" She said aloud and jumped on her feet."I'm sorry, Sir. I… I didn't mean to" She apologized and bowed her head a bit. "I let the sleep take over me" She further said, hitting her head.Dylan faked a cough and stood up. "It seems Ellen is here. Let's go check" He told her, and she nodded, following him from behind."Mrs. Ellen, Is that you?" asked Dylan, as he peeped f

    In the aspect of all that was happening, Chloe's phone erupted out its loud ringtone, and she got up immediately. "I'll go get that. Just go on with your call" She said and walked to her ringing phone.She opened her bag and took it out. Seeing Eric as the caller ID made her pout. "Hmm... 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. I was simply worried and had to call. I just hope I am not disturbing you" He said."Not at all. You are definitely no't. I am also glad you called. It shows you are caring and that is nice" Chloe smiled."Really? Well, That's a relief, then. So, where are you? Are you still coming?" He asked."Uh…" Chloe's voice drifted off as she scanned the room. "I don't think so. It's very late""Oh… I… I have been waiting, you know""Yes, I do, and I'm sorry. Possibly, we could meet next time. Something just came up which is inevitable" She

    Dylan glowered at Chloe. "You are so unbelievable. Don't you want to leave here? Would you rather remain here?" He asked, his voice sending thrills into Chloe's veins."I… I don't quite understand what you mean" She stuttered.“Oh… Stop acting ignorant. You know what I'm talking about. I asked you to join me. Scream my neighbor's name with me. Who knows, she might hear us that way. Besides, the louder the voice, the better"Chloe swallowed hard and nodded. "Sure. So, What's her name again?""It's Chloe," He responded."Oh… Okay… Let's do this" She said nervously."Right. We will hit the door and yell her name on the count of three. Are you ready?" Dylan asked, folding his fist."Yeah" Chloe forced a smile and also folded her fist."One… Two… Three!""Chloe!!" They both screamed simultaneously.*Eric was still in the car, which was still packed at the side of the road. His mind was restless since Chloe wandered around it, relentlessly."I wonder why she isn't back? Should I just call

    FEW MINUTES AGO*Dylan and Danielle walked into the gate and it closed on Chloe's face. He turned to face her and folded his arms on his chest."What's up, Danielle?" Dylan asked."This isn't upstairs" Danielle rolled her eyes. "Let's talk upstairs," She added."That is a waste of time. Besides, my secretary is not here so our privacy won't be invaded. You can speak. Step on it, I haven't got all day" He uttered."Poo" She whispered."Oh… What with this tonation. I think I know where you're heading to. Now, get straight to the point… What do you want from me?" He asked.Danielle sighed deeply. "I need your help""I know you need my help. Can you just go straight to the point before I leave you here""Alright… Alright" Danielle pouted. "So, I need money""Money?" He asked and she nodded."What for?" He questioned and a light frown occupied her face."I expected you to ask me how much and not what for. Are you even my biological brother?" She hissed and looked away."Only a fake brother

    Chloe gazed at Dylan confused. "What's he blabbing about?" She thought and shrugged it off immediately."Mr. Dylan! Please, I want you to open your mouth. I'm here to give you your medicine" She said."It's you… Ariel?" He asked and she nodded.His eyes blinked once and when his sight got a hold of her, her face turned blank as usual. He managed to mutter a cuss word out of anger."Are you alright?" 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. After drinking another gulp of water, he gave her the bottled water, which she closed and kept."Thank you" Dylan whispered, shutting his eyes."You're welcome" She

    "I'm sorry about that" Dylan muttered, staring at her face which was simply blank in his sight."You should be!" Chloe snapped and left him.Dylan turned his head around in amusement. "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? I doubt it" He quickly shook his head. "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 flagged a taxi, which stopped at her side. After speaking to the driver, she entered the cab.Dylan dashed into his taxi and started it immediately. He moved behind the taxi, tailing it carefully. He didn't want it out of his sight.He sighed heavily when the taxi stopped at a street not too far away from theirs. His eyes carefully studied the taxi,

    THAT NIGHT*Chloe took her red looking face away from the wet pillow and sniffed loudly. She had been bawling her eyes out since that evening and refused to eat."What am I going to do… you jerk!" 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. Fearfully, she left the company without saying a word to him. She didn't even bother to apologize or take the blame."I must be growing crazy. Why did I just leave like that without saying a thing. I could have gone on my knees" She didn't stop crying.Her stomach rumbled, giving her tears the chance to stop following. Chloe looked down at her flat tummy and made a disgusting look on her face."Don't even think about food!" She snapped.As if her stomach even heard her, it rumbled again, this time louder. Then, Chloe realized she was indeed famished.She stood up and was about to head into the kitchen when her
