She couldn't say no. Nor could she ignore him.
His presence, it was pretty intense.
This was the first time she'd met someone like this in her life, and it left her stumped.
Finishing her water, Chloe put down her cup and walked into the bedroom with her phone in hand.
She decided that from today onwards, she would start fresh, a second life, and she wouldn't let herself be stuck in a rut anymore.
The next morning, Monday.
A black Volkswagen was cruising down the wide road.
Yesterday's rain had left the city's air feeling fresh.
Chloe rolled down her window next to the driver's seat, one hand on the window and the other one steadily controlling the steering wheel.
Her hands were clad in a pair of black thin gloves, and a caramel-colored trench coat wrapped around her slender body. Her hair was tied up at the back of her head, making her look all neat and nifty.
With a poker face, her eyes were cold, but deep inside, there was a bit of sharpness that gave off an air of authority and pride.
As the car slowly approached the Olson Group building, Chloe rolled up the window, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, made a turn, and the car slowly drove into the underground parking lot.
As Chloe got out of the car with her keys and bag, a shrill car horn echoed in the underground garage.
Chloe paused, turned around, and saw Lance's Rolls-Royce whizz past her and park in a spot not far away.
Then she saw Lance get out of the car quickly, walk to the passenger side, open the car door, and extend his hand. A pair of delicate white hands landed in his.
Keira stepped out of the car in a Chanel dress.
Her brown hair fell in front of her, neatly styled, her makeup flawless. Standing there, she looked up at Lance with a sweet smile.
