Third Person's POV Chloe's Apartment The room was all messy, the beer bottles were lying on the floor and beside it was Chloe lying, curling herself in the blanket, her feet uncovered on the cold floor but head entirely inside. She kept twisting inside the blanket until her phone's alarm rang. She slowly tried to remove the blanket, but the blanket got all tangled around her. Finally, she got herself out and sat on the floor covering her shoulders with the blanket. Her eyes were half opened, and she took her to shut the alarm. "It's only seven, I want to sleep more.", she said scratching her head and rubbing her eyes. Saying this she stood up and went to her room. She threw herself on her bed, covering herself with another blanket. *** Suddenly she jolted up from the bed. "I can't be sleeping. I have to go work.", she removed the blanket from her. She looked for her house slippers, and finding them she went to her bathroom. Brushing her teeth she came out from there to pic
"I hope you will have great planning skills. Stand out on my expectations and that's an order.", Dave said with his hands clasped together."I will not disappoint you.", Chloe said calmly."I have a few more instructions for you.", Dave said while standing up from her seat and going to the other side of the table, near Chloe. He stood beside her leaning his butt on the table.Chloe kept her posture straight looking at the blank wall in front of her."Only my secretary and Jason know that our relationship is fake, you have to keep in mind that for others you are my girlfriend even for my family members and those close to me. For others, you are my girlfriend who is dear to my heart, so keep that thing in your mind, from now on whatever you do or speak will affect me and be considered as my words. This isn't just a contract, you hold power with my name added to yours. And I do not want you to misuse that power."There was silence in the room for a few seconds.Dave turned to the back of
"I understand why are you asking this. Because I came here using my boyfriend's name you must be thinking that I am good for nothing, isn't that true?", Chloe asked with a sad smile on her face. Owen raised an eyebrow at her words. Chloe continued to speak. "You don't have to worry about that, I will work to the very best of my abilities. So that you can identify me as Chloe, an employee in your department rather than a girlfriend to your boss." For a moment, her sophisticated words and determination in her eyes fluttered his heart. (Of course not in a romantic way.) "The time will tell what is going to be. Don't get me wrong at any point but I have seen my boss bringing a lot of women into different departments and after that watching them bossing over other employees and doing nothing just because someone got their back.", Owen told. "I understand the very concern of yours. That's why I too want you to treat me like you treat any other employee, I am not expecting any special
After greeting her colleagues and chatting a bit, she sat on her seat looking at the case file, she opened the file and pulled out the first paper, listed with all the contents. The file contains general information regarding the consignment reaching the port, its route, the officer in charge, etc., etc. and it contains the previous ideas presented including the reason for their rejection. "I guess they have already tried their best to do this, it seems difficult. It will take more than a day just to read the previous plans.", Chloe said to herself brushing the edges of the paper. The pages in the file mainly consist of the plans which failed to get executed for different reasons with all the information that was taken to prepare the plan. "Let's get started." Chloe started to sort out the papers and then started reading the information first. She kept herself immersed in the paper for the whole day. During lunchtime, her colleagues asked her to join them for lunch, but she deni
Dave's car was now at the front of the building. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number saved as the drug girl. After a few rings someone picked up the call. "Hello.", It was Chloe's voice. "Are you still at the office?", Dave asked her. **Chloe's office (she is on the call with Dave, here the scene is switched from Dave to Chloe)** Straightening her back she looked around the room, to see if someone is watching her, but there was no one suspicious just some other people whom she saw before in the office. "Yes, I am." "Then, come down I am waiting for you in the car." "You can go I still have work to do." "It's a matter of time before the whole office realizes that you are their boss's woman. And It will be faster if they see you in my car." "Those same people will recognize me as an incompetent fellow if I didn't do my work properly." "You can bring your work home." "That's not allowed and they are all confidential papers it's better to not let these papers out of th
Dave returned to his room, his secretary showed her the room prepared for her.She asked one of the maids to bring food on her own until she took a bath, and asked her to leave.She entered the room and put everything that was in her hands on a table in the room.Now the first thing she has to do is to check the whole room for any bugs anywhere.She switched off the lights in the room, and closed the curtains when the room was completely dark, she looked around the room to check if there is even a small ray of light coming from somewhere, but there wasn't any. She pulled out her phone using her camera to check if there are any infrared rays in the room anywhere. Checking every corner of the room including the bathroom and the wardrobe too, she switched on the light again."I guess there's isn't any camera in the room. At least, he is that much decent not to install a camera in a girl's room after making someone keep tailing me wherever I go. That man wasn't good enough to conceal hims
She pulled the trigger of the gun."Whoever you are show your face and state why you are here.", Chloe said in a loud voice.The person was wrapped in a blanket.The person threw the blanket at her face.She didn't realize when the person snatched the gun from her hand.She instantly removed the blanket before she could get herself entangled in it.She wasn't able to see the person's face but suddenly got pulled into someone's arm.At that time she saw the face of the person who entered her bed, it was Dave."Good morning.", Dave said smiling at her.Chloe tried to free herself from his arms, but her efforts were in vain. Dave was holding her firmly."Leave me.""I didn't know you were awake.", Dave said."I was sleeping soundly but you came in to disturb me.""Were you sleeping? You seemed to have quick reflexes, the way you recoiled.", Dave said with a raised brow.She was still in his arms."What do you think me to do? Hug you while sleeping.", Chloe said fiercely.Dave relieves he
The two left the house in the same car, with Dave's secretary driving it.The car was about to reach the building."I have something to ask.", Chloe said suddenly."What is it?""Do we have to show off that cliche boyfriend-girlfriend relationship or do we have to be usual as this is a workplace, and keep our distance? Chloe asked him."I am asking because I still do not understand what you actually want me to do. Okay, I understand that you need a woman who can act as your fiance without being one and instead can be a good spy for you. That much I understand. But you haven't told the small things like how I have to behave, how are we going to show others that we are partners. At home, the maids and servants already know that I am their new mistress but at the office, how do you plan to do this?", Chloe asked adding to her previous statement."I thought it will be fine when they others you with me at some party or any other gathering, I didn't think it will be of much importance to in
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
