That afternoon before they went on the spa trip, Chloe secretly told Lowell how she had to ask for a week’s leave, and Lowell pretended to be calm and approved it, thinking how being her boss’ girlfriend’s superior could really make himself something.
Compared to these guys who had been fortunate enough to be chosen on the spa trip, Chloe was thinking about the call Christian had made instead.
In the early morning, Chloe left home with her suite case she’d packed up last night, and not far away, she saw Christopher was waiting for her in the car, so she hurried up at once. Christopher got off and helped her with the luggage. After everything was ready, they went in the car and fastened the belt.
“OK then, spa trip huh, let’s go.”
Christopher was in a good mood all the way along, from time to time he would say something funny to Chloe and everything felt right between them, she decided to forget about Christian for the moment. While behind their car, the chartered bus of the company had caught up with them. All of her Colleagues were on the bus, Danielle was asleep on the shoulder of Lowell with her mouth open, and Lucy who was sitting beside, secretly took a photo of them. The guy named Millen, also nicknamed Melon, was sitting with Lucy shyly.
“So that Chloe Elwood from Financial Department, is she actually in Mr. Cleveland’s car now?”
“So what? Just look at her, how long do you think she can keep him?”
“So, what do you think, Shelly?” the girl with a round face turned back and asked the woman behind.
“Is that important?” Shelly was wearing very light make-up, more of a fresh face than a charming one.
“Tell me Shelly, you look so young and beautiful, how do you manage to maintain it?”
“Oh, about this? I’ll tell you only if you treat me with a big meal.” Shelly said to a few jealous girls sitting around her, with slight arrogance in her eyes.
Lowell heard what they had said and got kind of pissed but didn’t burst out. Only he thought to himself that his Chloe was the best and cutest!
After they had arrived, Christopher and Chloe went out the car and stood side by side, which was kind of a way in which they really revealed their relationship. And someone walked out of the hotel.
“Chris...Christian?”
“Here you are! I have been waiting for you for so long.” Christian had a face quite resembling Christopher’s, only the differences were in their temperaments, one being very introverted, while the other extroverted.
“What are you doing here?” Christopher twisted his eyebrows. About the sudden appearance of Christian, he was half surprised and half clearly understood.
“What, it’s a public place, you think only you can come here?” obviously Christian was being very provocative, which made Christopher, even Chloe, felt uncomfortable for quite a while.
“OK, you have a good time here.”
“I have come to an agreement with father and mother, that after this trip, I’ll come to work in the company.” Christian walked to Chloe as he was talking, with a sense of oppression. Chloe clutched Christopher’s hand subconsciously and then took one step back unconsciously.
“We shall be colleagues in the future, Chloe.”
Chloe dared not to look at him, she just found Christian looked dreadful now. Christopher shoved Christian away and protected Chloe behind his back. The staffs of the company dared not to say a word, thinking that it was not going to be a harmonious spa trip.
This spa villa belonged to the Clevelands too, so everyone received the treatment of VIP guests. Christopher pulled Chloe gently into his arms after they went in the room and whispered to her, “I’m sorry, Christian can be a jerk sometimes, don’t blame him, you know artists, most of them are mad, more or less.”
“You called him, an artist?” Chloe suddenly became confused with this title.
“He is good.” Christopher said with such gentleness in his eyes. He seemed to be really fond of his little brother.
“But you said you don’t need an artist in your family.”
“But he is successful as an artist.”he said it and turned to pour a cup of water for her. Chloe took it, but her attention was till on what Christopher had said.
“Why?”
“Are you tired? We can take a nap if you are, then we go down to grab a bite or two.” Obviously Christopher had chosen to change the subject, and then he stroked her head softly. The stroking thing worked more that it had meant, suddenly Chloe realized that their suite cases were in the same room and there was only one bed. Her face suddenly flushed. Christopher was amused by her blushing look, but he did not mean to tease her. He only knelt down, took off her shoes, put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
“Have a good rest.”
Chloe cannot but do as she was told. However, he was not used to sleeping with someone else watching her so she pulled the quilt over her face, but soon it was pulled down to her neck, so, she simply turned around with her back towards him. She heard chuckles from behind, and her lips couldn’t help curling up too.
