Beverly was dressed to the nines in a figure-hugging white gown.
She closed her laptop nonchalantly, her hands resting on the armrests of her large chair. Turning her chair towards the floor-to-ceiling window, she crossed her arms and gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
After some time, she rose from her seat, donned her trench coat, and grabbed her purse before leaving the office. Her secretary immediately stood up, "Ms. Summers, where are you heading?"
Without pause, Chloe responded, "Not sure, just call me if anything comes up."
The secretary stuttered, "...Alright."
Chloe found her car and sat in the driver's seat for a moment, unsure of where to go.
All she knew was that staying in the office wouldn't get her anywhere.
She pulled out her phone, intending to browse the internet but quickly thought better of it.
Finally, she opened WhatsApp and checked the only group chat named Royal Scum.
Scum...
She composed herself before opening the group chat.
Chloe [Anyone around?]
Kane [Yep!]
Hans [Yep!]
Ella [Yep!]
Noah [Yep!]
Sawyer [Yep!]
Seth [Yes.]
Kane [Can the last one just ruin the pattern like that?]
Seth [I don't think I am the last one.]
...
A few seconds later-
Seth [...]
Kane [Probably Damon is busy... But Seth, aren't you usually the coldest? How come you replied so fast? What have you been up to? We haven't seen you around.]
Seth [Missing me?]
Kane [Buzz off! You've had enough! Chloe, What's up?]
Chloe, with a small smile, typed on her phone-
[Seth, have you ever chased after a female celebrity?]
Kane, Hans, Ella... [LOL, this is some juicy stuff!]
Seth [What? You're a journalist now?]
Chloe [Nope, just bored. Any cool places you can recommend?]
Seth [Your future husband's bed.]
