Chloe had been counting her days at the company and waiting for the day to be a formal employee after the three months’ probation!
She opened twitter in the toilet and checked, nothing new happened, her favorite comics were not updated, so she had no choice but to go back to her office. After having snatched a moment of leisure, she went back on her work mode at once.
"Hey hey hey! She is out!" Danielle almost yelled, and the beautiful woman standing next to her turned to look at Chloe who was walking out from the toilet. Chloe went back to her seat, sat up straight, and had her standard smile on, not knowing why they were walking towards her and looked so friendly.
"Um, excuse me, what is up?"
"Well, we have a problem, the president need a cup of coffee now, with no sugar, but Lucy is with something else and hasn’t got the time, so we’d ask you a favor..."
"A favor?" Chloe picked up the conversation. Then she stood up and intended to evade it in the toilet, "sorry I must have eaten something bad..."
"Hey!" Danielle and Lucy grabbed Chloe’s shoulders and stopped her, "didn’t you take the same elevator with the president last time? Why are you afraid to deliver a cup of coffee now!"
"it was an accident! It’s true!" Chloe was helpless. Why are they asking her to do this?
"Chloe darling, please do me this favor, I really have something very important to do!" Lucy blinked her big eyes, and Chloe was still dazed like thunderstruck by Lucy’s calling her Chloe darling.
"I really can’t, it was already pretty awkward last time, please! You can ask me to do anything else but this, I really can’t!" Chloe wanted to escape but the way was blocked by them!
"Chloe, if you don’t do this, I’m going to make you the target of everyone in our team! You are dead then!" Danielle gave her a hard look and Chloe felt her legs were trembling. But! She told herself, You got to woman up! Never surrender!
"...I don’t think so! No!" Chloe stood firm and wouldn’t give in!
"Chloe, please, do me the favor this time, I’m your senior someway..." Lucy almost cried. Chloe found that she was really a beautiful woman, especially when she was tearing. But she just couldn’t do it!
Meanwhile, all the colleagues gathered around.
"Hey, Lucy, what is happening?"
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s Chloe, Lucy just asked her a little favor and she just won’t do it for her." Danielle started to put a series of her poor faces on, and poor Chloe kept her bitter one, while Lucy’s was already soaked with tears like a weeping beauty, which would break everyone’s heart.
"I... I didn’t say no, but..." Chloe wanted to explain but only stopped by Danielle.
"Then you are going to do it, right!" Danielle asked with a sincere face and pinched Chloe on the back of her hand.
"Chloe sweet heart, thank you! I know you will do it! You are a very kind person!" Lucy also showed Chloe her most sincere thanks, then she walked into the lounge and came out with a cup of coffee, and handed it to Chloe.
So I
Have to
Do it
Right?
"Yes!"
"...."
"Go, you can do it!" Lucy thanked her and went directly to the technical division by elevator, leaving the crowd looked at each other in consternation. Thinking of Lucy’s position and the cup of coffee she just handed Chloe, everyone understood the truth naturally and showed her sympathy.
Chloe took the elevator to the top floor with the cup of coffee, anxiously. Mr.Cleveland’s office was right in front! Put the coffee on his table and mission accomplished! Get it done and leave!
"Knock! Knock!" Chloe knocked the door and took a long breath. She could hear Christopher’s voice.
"Come in."
Chloe took another breath and pushed the door open. She walked over cautiously with the cup of coffee, while Christopher’s eye was on the papers and didn’t see the coming person.
"What took you so long, it’s just a cup of coffee!" she could hear he was obviously not happy with this. A shiver ran through Chloe, she hastened to put the coffee on desk.
"I should have told you before not to put coffee on my desk! Those files are very important!" Christopher said with slight anger in his voice. Chloe picked up the coffee cup with trembling hands and almost spilled the coffee for real this time. She seemed to begin understanding why Lucy had asked her for this favor, because it was really frightening. The atmosphere was just killing you!
"why is it you?" Christopher sensed something was different with the coming person so he raised his head and looked at the girl who once rushed into his elevator.
"Oh, um, Lucy got something at hand so she asked me to send for her... where should I put this?" Chloe felt so stressed and she simply just could not breath, she could feel that her hands were still trembling.
"You could put it on the coffee table over there." Christopher pointed at the table beside the couch. He stood and walked over to sit on the couch, checking on Chloe who was trembling.
Chloe put the coffee before him, turned quickly and was going to leave this place. However, behind her, Christopher spoke again.
"Wait."
Chloe hit the brake and turned to Christopher, lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.
"You don’t have to be so afraid of me." Christopher sipped his coffee, stood up, walked before Chloe, "am I so intimidating?"
Christopher kept coming nearer and Chloe kept shaking her head and walking backwards, till her back hit against the wall. She did not dare to look up at him, only squeezing her hands at her waist.
"Then why do you keep walking backwards..." Christopher picked up Chloe’s chin and watched her eyes dodging and avoiding. She took a quick look at him and turned away at once. Now Christopher leaned over and seemed to be kissing her, when he heard the mindless words.
"I... Mr. Cleveland, you are pretty cute!" Chloe looked into his eyes suddenly, like sincerely, and Christopher felt his heart missed a beat. What is she doing?
"But, I have a boyfriend! See you."
So, she ran away like a rabbit.
Christopher watched the door close and sneered. There was now himself alone again. He touched his lips and the face of Chloe came into his mind, "good, the game just got more interesting."
