Chloe tried to explain the best she could, as if she knew what was going on in his mind.
"Are you going to work in this company tomorrow?" Nolan asked indifferently.
Seeing him act like this, Chloe felt a bit frightened, but she tried her best to look calm. "Yes. Now that the company is mine, I should go there tomorrow," she said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing that, Nolan's face darkened.
Back then, when he asked Chloe to go work in his company, she didn't want to do it no matter what Nolan said. Now that Ashley gave her a company, she was willing to work there without any qualms.
As she looked into his eyes, Chloe couldn't help but feel scared. Although she didn't know what was in his mind, it obviously wasn't something good.
"I just remembered that I haven't finished my writing," she said as she stood up, "You go wash your face and brush your teeth. After I am done with my work, I'll come back to you. Then we'll go downstairs to have dinner together, okay? Alright! I'm going now!"
As soon as she finished talking, she rushed to the study. She didn't wait for Nolan to reply.
There were two places in the house that she could write her work in peace--the bedroom and Nolan's study.
How considerate he was! He even let Chloe use his study as much as she liked even though the study was the most important place for him.
Watching her running away, Nolan pressed his lips together and pulled his tie loose. In an instant, the stoic, arrogant man was now oozing with a devilish charm.
Since Chloe said so, he would do as she said.
Nolan took his clothes and went into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, as soon as she got out of the bedroom, Chloe heaved a sigh of relief.
She was freaking out because of the horrible look Nolan had. If she hadn't run away quickly, she didn't know what he would have done to her.
Thinking of her writing, Chloe got excited agai
n the bed, Chloe felt a little guilty. But all the guilt went away when she thought of how he didn't leave anything for her to eat.
From the way she saw it, Nolan was lying in the bed motionlessly, and so Chloe thought he was asleep.
With her stomach still rumbling, she was determined to find at least one of her hidden snacks. Taking a deep breath, she tiptoed inside the room.
From time to time, she would look back at the bed to see if Nolan was still sleeping.
It was even more tense than the spy movies Chloe had watched on the television. Much to her dismay, she still was not able to find any of her snacks in all of the hiding places she had.
'Something is wrong.
I have stored so many snacks. It's impossible that I've eaten them all!
Did someone eat them?'
As she thought of this, Chloe shivered unconsciously.
"What are you looking for?"
"My sna--"
Just when she was about to say 'snack', she clapped her hand over her mouth. There were only two people in that room right now, and it was obvious who had asked that question.
She raised her eyes and looked at the man. She didn't know when he had gotten out of bed and moved to her side.
Chloe put her hand on her forehead and sighed. 'Jeez! How did he move so quietly?'
