Chloe woke up around 2:30AM. She can smell the disinfectant, she slowly open her eyes and when it were opened she saw the unfamiliar place.
She remembered that she had eaten a shrimp and she got Allergy. She turned her head to the bedside and saw Denyx seating on the chair and his hands and head leaning half of his body on the bed.
She remembered that he is the one who sent her in the hospital.
“Why he’s here? He haven’t leave yet?”
She was surprised of his actions.
” How come this arrogant and cold man stayed here in the hospital with me? Or may be he is guilty of giving me shrimps?”
Chloe looked at him with a confused face but in her heart she can’t deny how handsome this man is.
She wanted to touch his face but her body stiffed.
No wonder why the model and actress Elle Manor likes him very much because this man is really blessed with a handsome face.
His face is look like an angel. He has a divided lips. Pointy tall nose with a pair of grey eyes. His hair is black and his eyebrows are well shaped.
Chloe lifted her left hand and about to touch his face but she hang on the air and withdraw her hand.
She came back to her senses and stared at him. Denyx felt that the pair of eyes are looking at him.
He was awaken while ago because of the movement of the women in the bed but he pretended to be still sleeping.
He can sense that she is enjoying watching him sleeping.
He stretches his hands pretending he wanted to wake up then he looked at Chloe with a surprised look.
“You’re awake? Are you feeling better?”
He straighten his back while asking her.
“I’m feeling better now. Sorry to trouble you but it’s very late already and it’s early morning. You can go home now. I can take care of my self. Besides I’d experienced it before.”
She looked him with a shy face but cold temperance.
” It doesn’t matter if it’s very late. It was my mistake why your allergy was triggered. I didn’t think much when I gave you food. I hope you can forgive me.”
He explained.
He doesn’t want to go home because he is happy accompanying her in the hospital. He thought that he acted strangely today but he was happy deep inside to see her even he can’t tell her.
“It’s okay Mr. Moore I used to be alone so it’s really fine for me if you leave me here. It will be very uncomfortable for you to sleep here in the hospital, you should go home and rest.”
He frowned.
” No Miss Mack I can’t go. I will be staying with you tonight. I can’t leave you here when I knew it was my mistake why you here in this place.”
She was stunned because he insisted to stay. She know that she cannot convince him to leave. She didn’t talk anymore as she doesn’t know what to say to him.
“Why he is very eager to stay here? How about his girlfriend? I don’t think it will be a good idea to let him be with me because I saw how Elle treated me today. But he is very stubborn to leave.
I wanted to ask him but I couldn’t say anything and I know it’s not my place either to interfere in his personal life.”
I told myself.
I gave him a quick glanced but he caught me with his sharp eyes. Our eyes met and we both froze in silence.
For the first time I looked at him that long and I realised he somehow look familiar but I couldn’t point out how he looks familiar.
His eyes landed on my lips and he wanted to devour it but the ringing sound of his phone awaken his desires.
I immediately withdraw my gaze to him and lowered my head.
He took his phone out from his pocket and turned it off.
“Sorry about that it was Elle but don’t worry about it she must be sent home by Alex.”
I kept my head lowered as I am afraid to look at his eyes again.
I don’t want to get closer to him I have a plan to take down the Moore Corporation and I have to keep my self from distraction.
I can’t ruin my intention why I am back to L. A. I already stepped in to the first move and I need to be strong.
He noticed my silence.
” Miss Mack, are you hungry? There are restaurant close by I can buy some food for you? You just eaten salad for dinner.”
My stomach growled and I couldn’t lie about it. I nodded my head.
” What would you like to eat?”
He asked. I didn’t look at him still my head lowered swirling the corner of the bedsheet that covered half of my body.
” Can I have a sandwich?”
He was smiling I can feel it even though I am not looking at him.
“Of course anything for you. I will be back soon.”
He stood up and walked two steps and I lifted my head and looked at him at the back of his body.
” Mr. Moore did you see my handbag?”
I asked him. He turned his head to look at me and nodded his head.
He went straight to the couch instead going out. He picked up my bag and came back closer to the bed and handed my bag.
“Here it is.”
I reached out my bag and accidentally our hands slightly touched. I felt the electric shock in my body and pulled it quickly.
“Thank you.”
Without any words he turned his body toward the door and walked out. I heard the door closed and I sighed deeply.
I remembered Jerome. He must be very worried about me.
Even it is very late I have to call him. I took out my phone in my bag ang dialed his number. Not long enough he picked up my call. I heard him said.
“Hello?”
I wonder why he asked hello as he always says my honeypie everytime he answers my call.
“It’s me Chloe. Sorry to wake you up but I know you’re worried about me.”
I heard his breathing calmed.
” Oh thanks God honeypie I was indeed worried about you. Are you alright? How are you? Should I come?”
His random question in the other line. I smiled.
” I’m okay, don’t worry I’m safe now in the hospital. I will be home this morning. The allergy already subside but the doctor said I must stay for one night.
You go back to sleep and you need to go to the new office tomorrow.
I need you to be there. I will go back to my apartment tomorrow morning and after that will go straight to the office. ”
I told him
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Confirming me.
“Yeah, yeah I’m okay.”
Assuring him not to worry.
“Okay then please get some rest too and see you tomorrow honeypie.”
I felt relieved.
“Okay then bye.”
I hang up. Tomorrow I need to go to our new office here in L. A but I couldn’t sleep back and I don’t know why I kept thinking of Denyx face. I shook my head and reached the remote to open the tv to watch any news to divert my thinking.
When I turned on the television the 24 hours news is showing a picture of Denyx.
The young billionaire of AML Technology and CEO of Moore Corporation.
It says that the young billionaire was spotted with his girlfriend Elle Manor today.
“So the news is true huh? Denyx Moore you’re with Elle Manor. But wait a minute, what he is doing here with me? Isn’t it ridiculous that he left his girlfriend and stay here with me in the hospital?” I told myself
I felt disappointed of what I heard in the news and my heart ached for no reason.
I held the remote tightly on my hand and turned off the tv.
Slamming the remote in bed.
Suddenly the door was pushed opened and he saw what just I did.
He looked surprised with my actioned but he didn’t dare to ask. Instead he was smiling.
” I got your sandwich and bought a milk for you too.”
Looking at me smiling.
I thought there must be something wrong with him.
They said he is a cold ang tough person but here he is smiling with me.
He even went out to buy food for me. I looked at him with a serious face and mumbled in a very low tone that he can hear enough.
“Thank you, you shouldn’t have to do it for me.” I told him but he seems that he was determined to buy food regardless what it is.
“You’re welcome.”
He reply timidly.
He pulled the table closer to my bed and put the sandwiches, milk and water he bought outside.
He then pulled a chair and place it facing the table. Then he moved to my side to help me sit properly but I stopped him before he could touch my skin which made me feel there is electric current in my body.
I waved my hand signalling him to stopped.
” I can sit by my own Mr. Moore I’m not an idle yet.”
He retreat himself and sat down on the chair opposite to me. I felt awkward seeing him in front of me but I let my self idle. He handed me the sandwich that ready to bite.
“thank you.”
as I reached the sandwich from his hand. He open the bottled milk and bottled water and put it on the table again.
It is very strange eating something in front of the stranger.
I treated him as a stranger because we were not friends and I just met him but he acted like he knew me very well. I took a bite of my sandwich and chew.
“Hmmm this taste really nice.”
He looked at me.
“Yes, this is a famous 24 hours restaurants so they made fresh sandwiches.”
He looked at his sandwich and took a bite.
” I didn’t know that sandwich can be taste good.”
