Chapter 2019 - Weekend Plans (2)



Chloe had plans for the weekend and she didn\'t want to mention the Chaos nightclub because she had no intention of going there. Also, she wanted to avoid any possibility that might insinuate a date because she didn\'t see him like that. "I just moved in, so I was thinking of checking out the neighborhood while shopping accessories for my apartment."

Mark\'s eyes lit up. "I can help."

Chloe hesitated. As much as she wanted to make friends, his excitement looked awfully like an attempt to score a date.

Chloe licked her lips nervously. "Listen, Mark… you are a nice guy, and…"

"I didn\'t mean to pressure you.", Mark said with haste, interrupting her rejection. "You are new in the area, and you seem like a good person. I was only hoping to spend more time with you so that I get to know you better. We are living in the same building and it\'s normal to want to know your neighbors. If I can be helpful, that will be a bonus. You mentioned shopping...", Mark lifted his arms and flexed his muscles. "I can carry a lot, so I am quite handy when people go shopping. If you are satisfied with my service, you can treat me to a meal. I work for food." He ended by rubbing his belly and smacking his lips.

Chloe laughed at his silly antics and she was unable to reject him. "Sure. How about when I figure out my plans I let you know, and we coordinate?"

Mark smiled brightly. "Alright!"

Chloe and Mark exchanged phone numbers, unaware that they were being watched through the security camera by a pair of icy eyes who would chop Mark into a million pieces if possible.

There are no cameras in private areas, but the streets of Boyle Heights neighborhood and hallways of buildings belonging to Blanc are watched, and Noah set it so that he gets a notification whenever Chloe is in range. That is how Noah knew that Chloe went to Matilda\'s apartment after work, and he didn\'t know what was going on inside, but he definitely saw (and heard) everything related to Mark trying to score a date with Chloe and he used the \'good neighbor\'

approach to trick Chloe into sneaking in her weekend plans! Not acceptable!

Noah snorted and decided to increase his level of pursuing Chloe because currently there are too many openings for random guys to get close to Chloe.

Should he get Mark evicted from that building? Fire him from the Chaos nightclub? Intimidate him? Or…? Noah\'s lips lifted into a malicious smile as he thought of a solution. Yes, that will work perfectly.

Next morning…

Chloe\'s eyes fluttered open at the sound of the doorbell. She frowned. Is Matilda waking her up with gossip again? Chloe bolted in a seating position when she remembered that other than for gossip, Matilda came to get her for work, and Chloe overslept.

Chloe\'s brows furrowed. It was 7:26 AM, and her alarm will ring in four minutes. What the…?

The doorbell sounded again, and she turned off the alarm before dragging herself out of the bed, confident that the one waking her up is Matilda because no one else should be free enough to come to her door this early.

Chloe decided to talk to Matilda about these early morning activities because Chloe is not a morning person and every minute in bed counts.

Chloe opened the door and stared at the man in front of her. Was she dreaming? Definitely. There was no other explanation as to why Noah was standing in front of her door with two coffee cups and a bag in his hands. He was wearing sharp light gray pants and a white shirt that had a top button undone and his necktie was loosened. There was no sign of a suit jacket.

A faint scent of pastries entered her nostrils, and Chloe was confident that it came from the bag Noah was holding. The bag had a logo of a bakery from down the street.

Noah\'s eyes sized Chloe from top to bottom and his smile told her that he was enjoying the view. Her white pajamas with pink bunnies were childish and cute and he thought that it looks adorable on her. The pajamas matched the pink bunny slippers she was wearing.

Chloe realized how something didn\'t seem right. If she was dreaming about Noah, he should be in her bed and not in the hallway. Or is this one of those dreams where she needs to drag him into her bed?

"Aren\'t you going to invite me inside?"

His deep voice pulled Chloe out of her stupor and her eyes widened in slow motion. Was there a chance this was not a dream? She balled her hands into fists and dug her nails into her palms. The piercing pain told her that this was NOT a dream. Oh, God! She was in her pajamas, and her hair must be messy, and… why was he here? Oh, God of Gods! What if someone saw him? The gossip would be endless!

Chloe swiftly stepped to the side, waving rapidly at Noah to get into her apartment and she closed the door behind him with haste.

She gulped softly and observed him in silence as he placed coffee and the bag on the coffee table in the living room and then he turned around slowly while observing the space. After a few endless seconds, his focus was on her, but he didn\'t say anything.

"Why are you here?", she croaked.

Noah gave Chloe a lopsided smile which made her heart skip a beat. He could see her anxiety and he was very pleased to find out that he has this effect on her. Mark does not stand a chance.

"As your assistant, I decided to bring you breakfast and coffee. It\'s just how you like it with cream and one spoon of sugar."

Chloe blinked as she processed his words. "I didn\'t know that assistants bring breakfast to the home address."

Noah tilted his head. "And what did you think assistants do?"

Chloe looked at him suspiciously. Was he messing with her? But she still answered. "Help at work. Schedule meetings and stuff."

Noah stalked toward Chloe without breaking eye contact, and he stopped when he was half a step away.

Chloe\'s eyes widened when he lifted his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"I can do much more than that, Chloe."

Chloe\'s heart was beating wildly, and she was confident that it will jump out of her chest. His perfume filled her nostrils and made her dizzy. Why did the atmosphere become so intimate? She wanted to ask what else he can do, but she had a feeling that it would be falling into a trap, so she decided on a different response.

"I am sure you can. You are a man of many talents, Noah."

She took a side-step to the left and passed by him. 

"Mhm…", Noah hummed in agreement and turned to follow her with his gaze. "Good that you know. With me being your assistant, all of my talents are at your disposal.", he said ambiguously.
