Sean stared at Chloe dash out of the room in shock, raising his eyes to Rebecca, who looked equally shocked.In hindsight, Sean knew that it was the shock rippling through his system that made him act the way he did.“Fuck!” He cursed under his breath, grabbing his shorts off the floor and jumping around as he tried to slide it up his legs. “Where are my damn shirts when I need one huh?”Rebecca sat up, still clutching the sheets firmly between her fingers like she was scared that Chloe would barge in at any moment. “Sean…where are you going?”He raised his head, only remembering that she was still in the room. “I need to go after her…Chloe.” He tacked on needlessly.Her mouth dropped open and if looks could kill, he might be six feet under. “Are you fucking with me right now? The woman you loved dumps you and comes crawling back, then you'll abandon everything and run after her?”Sean had an idea where this was going and he wasn't ready to deal with it, not right now at least. “Rebec
Chloe's eyes widened when she saw Sean slide across from her, her eyes greedily drinking him in.That was before she remembered that she was supposed to be angry, rearranging her features into one of annoyance.“What are you doing here?” She stared pointedly at her tea, stirring harder than intended. “Are you able to finally come up from air from that woman's legs?” She spat out that woman as though Rebecca were a tramp.Sean just looked at her. She could feel his gaze burning through her scalp. “If I didn't know you any better, I'd think you were jealous.”Now that prompted her to raise her head. “Why would I be? We aren't dating anymore.”“And whose fault is that?” He retorted, sounding as though he'd been wanting to use that line.She huffed, folding her arms against her chest. “Well then, I'm sorry I hopped on several flights to come see you. Apparently, this has been a waste of time, you can go back to your hotel. I'll be fine.”Sean sighed, rubbing at his temple. That gave her t
“So, what now?” Chloe peered up at him.Sean's mouth opened and closed off its own accord, not sure what his response to that question should be. “What do you mean?” He says instead, buying time to think his response through.Chloe waved her hand back and forth. “You and me, this …now that we've managed to come to terms acting civil towards each other. What happens now?”Crap, he did not think that far.While chasing after her, Sean only had intentions to talk to her and make her come back to him…anything other than that wasn't something that crossed his mind. Now they were here and-Sean closed his mouth, realizing that he'd been gaping at her like a fish.Coughing into his fist, he made an effort to clear his throat. “I suppose we go home then.” He paused, looking in her direction. “Unless, of course, you have something you'd like to do here.”She shook her head, smiling ruefully as she gazed out the window. “Not at all. I'm sure Greece is a lovely place to visit but I'm not a fan of
You know that staring at the clock doesn't make the time go any faster right? Rebecca berated after she caught herself checking the time for the third time in two minutes.After lounging in bed for over an hour, thinking that Sean would show up, she was forced to climb out of bed and take a shower to wash off yesterday's activities.Now three hours passed and no sign of Sean. If it wasn't for the fact that she was surrounded by his things and his passport was still in his suitcase- yeah, she checked- then she might have feared that he'd abandoned her here.Hours of being alone had forced her to reevaluate her actions and what she said to him before he stormed out. Her mother would always tell her, ‘Giving a man an ultimatum only sends him further away from you not closer.’Standing in the massive apartment, those words seemed to reverberate, bouncing off the walls.In her haste to prove something, she might have pushed Sean away.It was only now that she feared she may lose him that
Moriah was packing up her things, about to leave for home when she heard an excited chatter in the hallway.Curious, she left her things inching towards the door.Through the translucent glass door which sought sjar, it was quite easy to pick up the ramblings of her employees.“Did you hear? I for one, don't believe that it is true.” A girl with blood curls whispered as they strolled past. “Me either but then again, no one ever foresaw him leaving the company but look what happened.” Her friend replied.“It must have not been easy for him to make that choice, you know? To leave…especially after everything that's happened.” The blond girl said.Their words only stoked the flamed of her curiosity, making her want they were talking about or rather… whom?Hurrying back to her desk, she jabbed at the intercom calling for her secretary.She was quite new, after her former secretary had caught the flu which led her to be hospitalized for several weeks, Moriah needed someone to help with all
Sean's return to the city caused a lot of uproar, especially with how he left in the first place. He wasn't sure how they knew what time he was flying in but they were waiting for him by the entrance. The minute he stepped down from the plane, they flanked him their cameras going off. It was exasperating and mildly annoying but thankfully he had alerted his security ahead of time so they were there to ward people off.Rebecca has taken another so as not to raise suspicion but she didn't stop blowing up his phone.The car drove Jim straight home but that was almost as bad as the airport if not more.News station and several reporters were camped out in his front yard.$Mr Lambert, resources say that you've been to Greece. Is that true?”“Mr Lambert, what's going to happen now that you're back?”“Are you back for good, sir?”*Mr Lambert, what next?”They kept on plaguing him with various questions, up until he slammed the door in their faces.His phone dinged with a notification.It was
“How's it coming along?” Amber pursed her lips, tugging the baseball cap lower on her face when someone curious glanced our way. Chloe's hair was framing her face and the sunglasses perched on her nose did a good job of hiding her appearance. “Good, good. Sean took my advice and is set on resuming come Monday.”Amber's face brightened. “That's good news!” She clapped her hands in delight. “I must say, we do make a good team.”Yes, we do.” Chloe agreed easily, her mind flashing back to daydreaming about Sean. Of course, she maintained her distance but it seemed Sean was serious about her this time around, always calling and texting.Just last night, they'd talked on the phone for long hours the sound of his voice nearly driving her crazy with want.“Chloe? Chloe, are you even listening to me?” Amber's irritable voice burst into her dreams, with the woman snapping her finger in Chloe's face.“Absolutely, you were saying?”Chloe didn't take the bait so easily, throwing a suspicious glan
Sean took a deep breath, looking at the crowd of onlookers that had gathered in front of the car as well as the throng of reporters and news stations that were waiting for his entrance.“Fuck, how did they know it was today?!” He hissed, jerking at his tie. Rebecca sat in the seat next to him, spending way too much on her tablet even though it was obvious that she was ignoring him. “I have no idea.”Resting the urge to snap at her especially when it wasn't her fault, he took a deep breath. “Dean, what do we do now?”Dean Hallmark was one of the newest staff that he recruited for his position. Swearing to make things better and easier for himself this time around, Sean strived to employ more people to ease the workload.Dean was his PR exec, one of the best in the country or so they told him anyway.Dean turned around to look at him, a frustrated look on his face. “For now, I have no idea what to do. They were not supposed to be here today.”Sean groaned, taking a hand through his per
