“What do you mean by that?”
I looked at him with confusion.
“I mean I never tried sandwiches before. When you asked for sandwich, I thought I should try eating this too.”
My brows knitted as I didn’t expect that he never tried sandwiches in his life. I looked at the sandwich on his hands.
” Oh yeah, I must forgot that you are the billionaire and you don’t fancy to any regular and cheap foods right?
Rich people only eat fancy foods in their lives that’s why they don’t know how it feels to be hungry.”
I said in a sarcastic tone.
Although I didn’t know why I said it but I really hated their family enjoying the wealth that belongs to my family as well.
I remembered when my dad and I moved to Boston whe have to lower out selves and tried to purchase standard foods and things to start over there.
I can’t even go shopping and buy expensive things because we have to start our new business and we need to sacrificed our fancy living.
Dad doesn’t want to sell our mansion here in L. A because it is the only memory we have left from her.
He always visited L. A every once a year in my mom’s birthday.
At school no one knows I came from a wealthy family because I can’t afford to buy expensive things anymore. But my beauty and brain always excels in all aspects which I got my scholarship.
I studied hard to start over again. When I was studying my dad started the Johnson Company but under my name.
But no one knew it was me because I never show up and although dad is the in charge but the name he is carrying is Mc Len not Jonhson.
When my dad transformed me into Chloe Johnson he tried his best to protect me.
But he was also grateful for everything. When we learned and experienced how to live a simple life. I became more responsible.
Ihe always valued simple things and appreciate them.
Ihe never regrets every part of her journey before she achieved my goal until this day. Even I can afford to buy and eat what I wants.
I never forget the ways and things that I loves when I was struggling.
I enjoys my low key profile with my friends. Jerome and Liza will always go with me to eat sandwiches, ice creams and Jerome even learnt how to eat lollipop because of me.
Until when three of us will get a spare time we would love sitting together for a movie marathon and eat lollipops and ice creams.
It sounds weird but that’s what we love to do together.
I was in my deep thoughts when Denyx coughed.
” ahhhmmm… hhhhmmm… I haven’t tried this food because my mother is in control of what I have to eat when I was young.
She always made fresh foods for me. So I guessed it wasn’t my fault why I never had tried it before.”
He was a bit embarrassed but I know he was born in a silver spoon and what ever he has is not his fault.
But the hatred to their family is incomparable. I hated them for stealing my Mom’s wealth and for the crime they did when they took my mom’s life too.
I was just lucky enough to survived in that accident.
“I’m sorry Mr. Moore that’s not what I meant. Of course it wasn’t your fault. I was just reckless of my words. I worked so hard to survive in this life and I was just surprised that it is your first sandwich in your whole life.”
I gave him an apologetic smile although since we met I never show a friendly face to him.
” I understood Miss Mack and you look more beautiful when you smile.”
He said while enjoying looking my first smile to him.
I always shows a cold face and rejection reaction but today I gave him a simple smile and it made his heart beat so fast.
My face turned red I was blushing of his compliment but I tried to calm my self even the awkwardness between us is uneasy.
I didn’t give him any response but instead I lowered my head and continued eating my sandwich.
We silently enjoyed our food and he doesn’t bother to ask me anything more.
When I finished my last bite he handed me the milk.
“Drink the milk and after that you can go back to rest.”
Looking on his hand holding the bottled milk. I reached it and drank. When I finished drinking my milk, I stood up.
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
He nodded his head and looking at me.
I walked toward the bathroom. I twist the door knob of the bathroom and pushed the door open.
I washed my hands and face.
When I looked in the mirror I saw my beautiful reflection in it.
I smile because my my plan is working smoothly as I planned.
“Denyx soon you’ll fall into my trap. I’ll make sure you will give me back what is belong to me and my mom.
The plan is to get closer to him and who would expect that he signed the contract with Johnson’s company project without hesitation.
Let him alone call me Anna but soon I will find out who is Anna in your life Denyx.”
I sighed and dried my hand with the towel hanging on the bathroom.
I opened the door and saw Denyx was already done with his sandwich is now sitting leisurely on the chair next to the bed.
I walked slowly toward the bed. I tucked in my self in the bed and pulled the blanket to cover my body.
I didn’t say anything nor look at him. I want to avoid his presence the more I ignore him the better to stay away from any trouble.
I laid down in the bed and my back facing him.
I was very uncomfortable sleeping in the room with another man around.
I closed my eyes and pretended that I’m sleepy again although my eyes are closed but it’s really difficult to sleep especially when he is stranger to you.
He kept silent for sometime and I heard his foot steps become louder and louder. He came closer to me then the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Good night Miss Mack.”
I pretended to hear nothing with my eyes closed. I didn’t bother to make a single move as I pretended to be asleep.
I felt his hand touching my hair. He is stroking my hair gently with his soft hand.
My body stiffed but I kept my body dare not to move.
Then he withdraw his hand on my hair and I heard his foot steps faded going to the receiving room.
I heard him talking on the phone in a very low sounds, I guessed his afraid to disturb me.
I can’t hear clearly but I know it is about the matter that happened tonight.
It was Elle as I heard only her name when he picked up the call.
I saw how angry she was in the restaurant when he carried me and even drove for me to the hospital.
But I really don’t like that flirty woman. She has a shity attitude behind those smiles.
I can clearly see how she wanted to be with him and die with him.
I kept my eyes closed and try to calm my self for not making a noise as he is not far away from me.
I heard him stopped talking on the phone. And the room was quite as I imagine.
A heavy breathing soon came close to me. I froze in the bed like a statue when his hand touched my hair.
The electricity feeling ran through my whole body that I couldn’t control.
I kept telling my self not to open my eyes and relax my body and mind because it’s just a touch to my hair nothing gonna happen. I heard him spoke.
“I know you’re not Anna but my…”
Suddenly he stopped talking.
My chaotic mind went wild but I can’t do anything about it but to kept pretending to be asleep.
“Why does he kept saying Anna? Who is Anna into his life? It wasn’t me for sure.
I don’t know him and I didn’t even remember in my life a Denyx name not even from Moore family.
What is this man talking about?” I asked myself.
I wanted to push him away from me but my body froze and I couldn’t move my heart is beating wildly inside my chest that unable to control.
I tried to think positive.
He might call me in that name because he can see the resemblance of his Anna to my face. I remembered our first meeting in his office he called me Anna also.
But it is really impossible that the Anna he is talking is me because I can’t remember him in my life not at all.
That boy who used to gave me lollipop when I was in the 2nd grade was fat and his face was far beyond to this man standing next to me. I wanted to drown in the bed while he is caressing my hair.
I wish I wasn’t here in this place. I can’t understand my feeling. I like it when he is stroking my hair.
I can’t help myself to enjoy it but then no! I have a goal while I am here in this city.
I have to take down the Moore Corporation and those people who were involved in my mom’s death even it will include Denyx.
I don’t care what it takes to reach my goal. My mother deserved justice so do her wealth that had been taken by this family.
I moved my body a bit to stop him. I let my eyes still closed pretending still asleep and made a small move.
I was right the moment I moved he stopped stroking my hair.
He was frozen a bit not wanting me to be awaken.
Still my eyes were closed but I pulled the blanket to covered my body although I remained silent.
He didn’t make any noise for few minutes. I Know he was looking at me like a tiger wanting to eat his prey but he is restraining himself because he knew he has his limit.
He is still a stranger to me and I have to do a lot of effort to make my plans work for this man.
He is smart and powerful and if he finds out my real personality I will be dead end.
