The doors for the lift opened and I saw him standing in front of me, Dave Castello, we met again. I was standing right in front of him. First, his men came out, pushing people aside and making the way for him. He passed by me, I don't know if he saw me or not. I was directly looking into his eyes but he was wearing black tinted glasses so I don't know whether he saw me or not or maybe he didn't recognize me. I and the man escorting me stepped inside the lift. He pressed the button for the seventh floor, which means we are going there. Hmm. I remained silent hearing other people in the lift for some information. "Did you see the boss? he was looking too handsome. I think he saw me.", the girl said excitedly. "Indeed handsome. But don't think he took a glance at you.", the other girl replied with an uninterested face. Ha! let's leave the idea. I think it's better to talk with these walls if the walls can then they must have a much more interesting topic than this. We reached t
Chloe's POVI went out from there without looking back. A man came with me to usher me out of the building, and security checked me once again before leaving. The man returned my gun after we came out of the building, and the driver who came to pick me up from my house was standing with the car outside the building.I went in the car.I asked him to drop me at the nearest cafe instead of my house.He did as I said, he dropped me outside the cafe. I went inside the cafe, and going in I noticed through the glass door of the cafe that the car was still standing there.Why is he still there? Is he commanded to follow me? Haa..... Aiden wanted to meet me here.The Gambino's company for whom he interviewed today is nearby too. So he messaged me to come here while I was in the meeting. This cafe was recently opened and isn't crowded with many people too, and is without any CCTV camera, that's why it is a perfect place for us to meet.I went into the cafe without halting on my way.Aiden was
Third Person POVThe message that was received by Chloe was from Jason Smith, the manager she met today at Castello Company.The message just said Hi with a small introduction from him, and then in the last, it was written that they may need to stay in contact for further, that's why the message.Chloe replied to that number, saying I will save your contact then, and then shut her phone and kept it inside her bag.*****The next day, Aiden has to went for the final selection for the post of sub-secretary in the Gambino's company.Dressed up in working clothes he reached the building.He was at the entrance of the building when a girl ran out from inside, she was the second person who was going to be interviewed today beside him for the same position.Aiden raised his hand to wave at her. She took a glance at him and passed by him as if she didn't see him.Aiden saw her getting out of the office building area and taking up a cab from the road."Maybe she got some work, suddenly. We sti
The place wasn't far from where he was, he turned his cycle in that direction, but he saw the girl getting out of the taxi. The girl saw him running away and without thinking she again sat in the cab and asked the driver to follow him."Follow that cycle.", she said sitting inside the taxi.The driver started the engine and put the cab behind him following him from afar."He must've found the exact location, I will just follow him."Aiden was cycling on the road, he turned his face back to look behind where the girl is now. But instead, he saw the cab following him.He understood what she must've thought.The road was beside a footpath, he saw that the border separating the road and the footpath wasn't much high.He once more looked behind him. He looked towards his watch only three minutes remained to the given time, he saw the footpath diverging from the road and turned his cycle, towards the footpath jumping past the border.He went away from the turn and the cab driver stopped the
"I will observe you throughout the day and according to that I will decide.", Susan said."Where should we start from then, mam?", the girl said.Aiden didn't bother to know about the girl's name as it wasn't of much importance to him."I will tell you when I need something, stay quiet for the time being.", Susan said glaring at her. The intimated look Susan made that girl shiver.Aiden noticed the girl getting startled by her gruff and piercing voice, although he wasn't much affected by her stern voice.The two stood there silently, the people in the cafe were staring at them standing for a long time there.After waiting for a few minutes, Aiden became anxious to know what is she doing sitting there.He was standing right in front of Susan, and couldn't be able to glance at the laptop screen she was looking at, while the other girl was standing beside she was able to watch the screen.The curiosity took the good off him, he moved slightly toward the girl and stood beside her. Susan d
"Now the remaining shares are for you. Just ask your people to buy them as fast as they can before the company get to know about it and shut the trade.", Aiden said stretching his arms.At the same time, a notification popped up on the site's page."The stock will no more be available to bought after two minutes.", the girl read the notification for them.Susan picked up her phone and dialed someone."I want all the shares available right now, the site will close in two minutes add more servers, or do what I want all of them.", Susan said in a menacing voice on the phone.She kept the call connected until the timer continues.30...29...28........5...4...3...2...1...0The timer ended, and Susan checked how many shares are sold out. Most of the shares were bought by her people but there is still one percent of it that remains. The remaining shares are added up back to the company's original owner's part."Mam, we were not able to buy the last one percent.", the man on the other side of
"So, what's your business?""Umm! it's a holiday and you are my only colleague and I am your only friend, that it's been a long since the two of us hung out together so I just thought why not now.", he said joyfully turning at her with open arms."Oh wow! so which bone of yours should I break for you this time?", She said with a cheerful smile coming to him jumping on her way as she stood just in front of him.She said lightly punching his chest."What about your ribs? I can give them multiple fractures.", she said looking at his chest.He didn't say anything.Waiting for him to say something she raised her head to look at him.She realized she was standing too close to him, too much that she has to push her head up perpendicularly to look at him.Aiden tried to step back from her, but her foot got tangled in the floor carpet and fell there.As Chloe saw him falling she snapped out of her daze and looked at him lying on the floor rubbing his butt."Ouch!"She extended her hand to him,
Its been a week since Aiden visited Chloe at her home, after that day Aiden joined the Gambino's company and officially became Susan's personal assistant after receiving his contract and the two are in minimal contact with each other. Two days ago Aiden informed Chloe that he would be leaving the country with Susan for a few days due to some business and they would return after a week. Of course, that wasn't informed to their agency as the two didn't report for their second plan as Aiden wished, thus it remained a secret between them. Aiden didn't give any reason. The very last night Chloe received a call from her agency calling her to come to the agency's headquarters, more particularly she was told that Mr. Patrick wants her to come to the agency. She was confused at first that why Mr. Patrick made an official call for her to come, he could have just asked her to come to the office where she usually asked to come if it was something important. Normally, agents didn't receive a ca
She hung up the phone.Mira questioned her, "What happened?"."He simply ditched me, saying he got some urgent work."A car stopped in front of them.When the two turned to face the automobile, the car's window dropped.Frank was seated in the vehicle."Hey! You must be finished with your work now. Come along with me.", Frank remarked as he turned his face to Chloe from inside the vehicle."Why should I?", Chloe asked in a quiet voice glaring at him.Chloe's words were not heard by the two of them."If you'd like, let's go out to dinner together.", Frank suggested with a smile."Oh! I believe your friend arrived. Hello, I am Chloe's colleague Mira, we are in the same department.", Chloe heard Mira say this."No, he's not the friend I was talking about...", Chloe said to avoid misunderstanding.Frank interrupted Chloe's sentence, "Nice to meet you, mam. Thank you, for keeping her in your company.""No, he..."Missing Chloe's words, Mira said, "You were talking about something ditching
"You don't have to behave like my girlfriend anymore after we reveal about brother. We can sign another contract too."On the same day, in the afternoon, in the company"I will think about your words and respond later," Chloe remembered saying before leaving Frank's room."I know you'd make a wise decision," Frank said as she exited the room.Chloe was replaying the morning conversation in her head.'I have no choice but to comply with what they are saying. But now my goal has shifted; I was already lacking in information on Dave, and now I know nothing about him. Aiden has not yet contacted me. I'm sure I'm on their radar now. I can't even get in touch with him. Only if I can ask him directly.' Chloe reflected as she sat at her desk.Chloe was lost in her thoughts and didn't notice that someone was calling out for her.She was working at her desk when she heard a small knock. Mira was the one."Huh?" Chloe asked, perplexed.Mira, pointed her finger at Alex, who was standing a little
The Next Day, Early MorningChloe was dozing off in her bed when she flipped over.Behind her, she sensed a dip in the mattress, like though someone had been sitting on it.Without delay, she spun around and withdrew the dagger that she always kept beneath her pillow.She brandished the dagger at the intruder in her room.He raised his hands instantly, and it was Frank, she saw sitting on the bed."I assumed you were getting a good night's sleep." Frank remarked, "I see you are quite sensitive."Pointing the blade at him, Chloe questioned, "How did you come in?"Frank jokingly said, "Shouldn't your question be what I am doing here?"Glaring at him, Chloe said, "Answer me, first.""OK, all right." Frank replied, "I entered through that door; it's my house, and I have extra keys for all the doors in this house."Chloe noticed the door opened.Frank asked, "Now, will you put down that dagger?" as he pushed the blade halfway down.Chloe reclaimed the dagger.Chloe asked, ruffling her seve
Chloe left Frank and Dave and went to her room.As Chloe walked away, Frank asked Dave, "Can we go to my room?""Yes. By now, the room must have been cleaned by the maids.""I kept this room locked while you were away.", Dave said as he opened the door, "Everything is as it is, as you left it."Frank replied, looking around the room and recalling all the memories of his youth he had, some fuzzy and some as vivid as the sky, "Hmm... it's been a long right?"Dave hugged his brother once more and whispered, "I waited for you."Frank could hear a slight tremble in Dave's voice.Frank hugged him back, and let him rest on his shoulder for a while."How can you trust her alone? What if something happened to you? I would have sent more people. Why you asked for her alone.", Dave asked as a tear escaped from his eyes falling on his brother's shoulder.Frank said to his brother, "I wanted to see what she was capable of and what not.""You take such a big chance just to try her out?", Dave quest
On one side, Frank and Chloe were standing, and on the other, the enemy's men were waiting for Frank."I'll handle everything; just get in the car and drive away from here," Chloe told Frank.Chloe was prepared to fight back though she knew she couldn't win over these men. But the only thing she has to do is get Frank safely out of here.The enemy's men began to approach them.Frank took Chloe's hand in his."We're not going to win here." Frank said as he began running in the opposite direction pulling Chloe with him."Run." Frank said.With all those men trailing behind them."What are your thinking? We can't avoid them for long even if we run inside.", Chloe said as she ran."Simply follow me and run as fast as you can. We just need to vanish from their sight.", Frank said as the two kept running.Suddenly, a bullet was fired at them. Chloe looked behind her, and those men were getting closer. They were shoving people all over the place.The airport police attempted to stop them, bu
Dave escorted Chloe away from the party. There was another car alongside the one they arrived in. Dave made her to sit in the other car.Chloe noticed, while getting in, the Castello's symbol wasn't on the car.Dave inquired about her arms, "Are you loaded?""Sufficiently.", she answered."If you require additional weapons, there is one right beneath your seat. You are also free to take that. The driver will take you to your destination and explain everything to you. There will be a man there. Bring him safely to me. That is your responsibility.""What is his name? How will I recognize him? ", Chloe inquired, perplexed by what was going on.If there was an emergency, hundreds of Dave's men will be stationed here. But no one was there, so it could be someone Dave doesn't want anyone to know about.Who could it possibly be? Chloe asked to herself."The driver will give you a picture. I'll tell the others that you weren't feeling well, so we're both going back. I'll be waiting for you a
Dave was gone. After speaking with Jasper for a while, Chloe learned a few useful things, but he was constantly trying not to spit out the important information. But Chloe was confident that she could get him to say anything, but she needed time. There were far too many distractions, and people were crowding around her. Although Jasper was still nearby, the others were taking up too much of her time, making it impossible for her to converse with him. She went to Jasper, as soon as she found some space, before anyone else approached her. "Hey! Can you help me, Mr. Jasper?", Chloe inquired. "I'm starting to feel congested. This is my first time here, so I'm not sure where I should go. Can you take me to a vacant area?" Chloe performed admirably in convincing him of what she was saying. "Sure, I'll assist you. Come along with me.", Jasper stated. Chloe followed him to the location he was taking her. He continued to speak as they travelled. "I completely understand how you mus
Zen and Chloe shared a drink, but Chloe refuses to drink any more.Zen had a few more drinks before being taken away by some females.Dave had been staring at her the entire time.Chloe noticed Dave approaching her."He left you alone here," Dave said as he approached her."He didn't leave me, just a swarm of flies took him," she chuckled.Dave looked at her."What exactly is it? Why did you come here? Is there anyone in particular I should keep an eye on? "Chloe inquired."No," Dave replied."Then?"Dave didn't have a specific reason."I just came because he left; it won't look right if you stand here by yourself while I socialise." he explained."You just happened to arrive at the wrong time; that lady was about to approach me after seeing me standing alone. If you hadn't shown up, I could have talked to her ", Chloe said, motioning to a middle-aged woman.Dave and I both looked in the same direction."You will have more opportunities. Don't be concerned, and don't rush ", Dave told
"I know him very well," Zen smiled.Chloe remained silent, pretending she wasn't understanding what he was saying."I understand why you came here," Dave said.Zen's gaze shifted to Dave."Chloe, Could you please help me with this one thing? If you see this man saying something stupid, leave him right away. You don't need to think about anything."Dave locked his gaze on him.Chloe burst out laughing at the sight of the two.Chloe had never seen Dave bicker like that before. His words are usually either a cautionary tale or a command to others. Every word has different meanings."Fine, is this the queue from which I should leave?" she asked, looking at them both."Hey! You're ruining both of our moods. Are you afraid she will leave you if she learns about your past? ", Zen told Dave."Chloe, your name is Chloe, right?" Zen asked.Chloe gave a slight nod of the head."Would you like to join me for a drink until your boring fiance greets the rest of the guests? I'm telling you, it's bet
