Chapter 18 - Excuses

Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
I'm so sorry...
At work, I bowed my head to Maven, feeling guilty. Liam refused to fly me back to the inn so I was forced to come back to my apartment.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
My friend got sick and I had to come back here.
He then smiled gently.
Maven Jacobs
Maven Jacobs
It's fine, honestly.
Maven Jacobs
Maven Jacobs
Here, I have your stuff. There was a considerable amount if you include the shopping bags that were filled with cheap accessories.
I chuckled and accepted my bags back.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
I'll make it up to you. Once I get my paycheck, let's go and get food!
Maven Jacobs
Maven Jacobs
R-Really? Okay!
For the next few hours, I made the men work nonstop. Then, my phone buzzed, marking a notification for a message.
I picked it up and looked at it intently.
Perverted Grump:
Perverted Grump:
What are you doing?
Me:
Me:
That's my line, Mr Busy.
I waited for his response but it was instantaneous.
Perverted Grump:
Perverted Grump:
I'm free of all work for the rest of the day.
Good for him! Meanwhile, I'm stuck here writing lines of code.
Me:
Me:
Must be nice, being a CEO.
Perverted Grump:
Perverted Grump:
Not really. It requires a level of intelligence which you would probably lack in.
Okay, and that's supposed to be flattering?
I glared at my screen as my work phone rang. Picking it up, I smiled.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
Yes?
Receptionist
Receptionist
Yes, Miss Cage? There's a man at the desk for you. His name is... HEY!
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Clo! Get down here! I want to take you on a date~
Receptionist
Receptionist
Hand me back that phone before I call security!
I hung up and grabbed my coat and bag, rushing out of the room.
Maven Jacobs
Maven Jacobs
Chloe? Where are-
But I left before he had a chance to speak to me.
I ran down the stairs since I knew the elevators were going to be packed and looked ahead of me to see Shade in the flesh.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
Shade! How did you find me?
He smiled.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
I stalked you. Or I turned on your shared location on your phone.
Honestly... I grabbed my phone and turned it off. Looking at me, he smiled.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
It's great to see you, Clo.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
It's good to see you too, Shade.
He then took my hand and pulled me towards the door.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Let's go on our date then!
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
H-Hold on, you were serious about that?
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Of course!
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
What? Do you not want to go out on a date with me?
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
N-No, I really do!
He smiled and grabbed my hand.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Come on, then! Let's go to the arcade!
Leading me out of the company, we started to walk down the street towards the arcade.
I then clenched my fists.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
Why are you being so nice to me?
He looked at me and chuckled.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Because we're friends.
Chloe Cage
Chloe Cage
You know what they made us do, Shade. You remember what they made us do... like animals at a circus.
He smiled.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Are you saying that I should hate you because of it?
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Sure, you beat me every single time and ridiculed me in front of those people every time we participated in one of those parties but I could never hate you. After all, Chloe is my first love~
He then approached my face, making me blush.
Shade Stevens
Shade Stevens
Just kidding! Anyway, let's go to the arcade and play some games! I've gotten the top score on the logic game! Spent three hours straight on it!
Sure enough, we started to play at the arcade, gaining tickets which we both invested in two huge plushies. It was like when we were children again.
But without the pain and the fear.

So some of the past is coming out, and it doesn't sound very pleasant, in fact it's sounding rather terrifying for a child. Poor Chloe and Shade! No wonder she is so pragmatic!
