Chapter 8 - Jealous And Angry
Liam Nightly looked at the time. It was working hours, therefore I had to be downstairs in the programming room.
Fixing himself up, he then walked right out of his office and down the elevator to the programming department.
Arriving there, he furiously opened the door and everyone in the room shivered.
He looked around and then said with a murderous voice:
Liam Nightly
Where is Chloe Cage?
Programmer A
C-C-Chloe... just left a second ago to go on a holiday...
Programmer B
S-She and Maven seemed e-excited about it.
Programmer A
H-He's the proofing programmer.
His eyes went wide and furious as he stormed out.
Approaching the glass window, he then saw me and another man walking out with duffel bags and smiles on our faces.
Adam Queen
U-Um... Cousin? Is everything alright?
Liam Nightly
You want to sleep with me then go into the arms of another man, Chloe Cage? I don't think so.
He then took out his phone and called Prescott.
Liam Nightly
Prescott. Find out where Chloe Cage is going and book all of the rooms in a mile radius.
He grinned. He wasn't going to let his new prey get away that easily.
Meanwhile, in Maven's car, we drove towards a hot spring resort up North.
Maven Jacobs
I'm so glad that you accepted to come with me.
Chloe Cage
Well, you did make a tempting offer. I can't afford such a holiday yet. I haven't even gotten my paycheck for this month yet.
Maven Jacobs
The head programmer salary is considerable. You'll be able to afford holidays like this in no time!
As we drove on, we eventually arrived at our inn.
Maven Jacobs
Two reservations for Maven Jacobs.
Inn Keeper
I'm sorry. All of our offical rooms have been lent out.
Maven Jacobs
But I reserved two rooms online. I got the confirmation and everything.
Inn Keeper
Sorry, a new buyer offered a price that we couldn't refuse.
Maven Jacobs
Urgh, what should we do?
Chloe Cage
It's okay, let's just head back. I'm sure that we can celebrate our honeymoon somewhere else.
Inn Keeper
Oh my, are you newlyweds?
Chloe Cage
Yes. My husband here spent weeks saving up so that we could come here and soak in the water. It's okay, darling. We can invest the money into something else.
Maven, blushing and confused, didn't say a word.
Inn Keeper
You know what... I have got an attic with a single bed which I haven't lent out to someone in a while. If you want to use that bedroom, I'd be glad to give it to you.
Bingo. A softie for newlyweds, I knew it.
Chloe Cage
Isn't that amazing, Maven?
Maven Jacobs
Y-Yeah... that's great.
Arriving into our room, it was a little dusty but the sheets were clean.
Maven Jacobs
Why did you tell her that we were newlyweds?
Chloe Cage
Didn't you want this holiday? Besides, that woman seems to have a soft spot for innocent and young newlyweds. It's okay, we just have to pretend.
Maven Jacobs
What about the bed?
Chloe Cage
I've got a futon. I thought that we could go stargazing because the air is so fresh out here so I'll use that.
Maven Jacobs
You... think up of the weirdest of plans.
Chloe Cage
I'm famous for it!
