Bitter & Sweet
The Part 15

I don't know how much time Chloe spent monitoring Matthew's legs inside her boss' room.

Chloe who felt quite exhausted from being busy with various activities throughout the day, actually fell asleep in Matthew's room, without her noticing anymore.

All of a sudden, Chloe jerked up from her sleep and opened her eyes, then looked at the sleeping Matthew in a position that seemed very uncomfortable.

Matthew was still sitting on his back, resting his back and head on the head of the bed.

In her head, Chloe also felt that there was a hand holding her, or maybe just lying there.

After a moment of being in a daze, Chloe finally realized that she was not just asleep in Matthew's room.

Currently, Chloe even fell asleep curled up on Matthew's bed, with her head resting almost on his knees.

In a hurry, Chloe raised her head, until one of Matthew's hands, which had been placed on Chloe's head, fell to Matthew's side.

And at that moment, Matthew then woke up, narrowing his eyes, looking at Chloe.

"I'm sorry, sir," said the panicked Chloe, trying to explain. "I don't remember any more, that I've fallen asleep here."

"Auch!" Matthew grimaced in pain.

"Is your leg still hurting?" chloe asked, then hurriedly checked Matthew's feet.

The ice pads that were there, had not compressed Matthew's ankle anymore, and it was seen that he had fallen to the floor.

Chloe hurriedly moved down from the bed to pick up the ice pad.

However, Matthew immediately restrained Chloe's movements, holding her arm, so Chloe turned around, and looked at her boss.

"My shoulder's cramping!" Matthew pointed with his eye movements, towards his legs which had been a pillow for Chloe's head.

Chloe was wide-eyed, and actually felt more panicked, until spontaneously, Chloe then massaged Matthew's thigh, expressing her regret.

"I'm sorry, sir.." said Chloe, anxious.

"You don't drool at my feet, do you?" matthew, suddenly.

Chloe, who had lowered her head, looked at the thigh of Matthew's leg, then raised her gaze, and looked at Matthew closely.

"You don't see me like that ... I was just kidding, ", Matthew said.

Matthew then smiled widely and looked as if he was going to laugh, leaving Chloe stunned, in shock at the unusual sight.

"Is there something on my face?" matthew asked, smiling still, then rubbing his face with one hand.

"Ughhh!" Chloe flinched, when she realized that she had been looking at Matthew's face for too long.

Chloe then immediately turned her face away, and again concentrated on massaging Matthew's legs.

"That's enough...! My legs are already feeling better," Matthew said, holding Chloe's hand, and grasping her tightly.

"You must be uncomfortable" chloe said, looking at Matthew's hand, which still held his hand for a moment.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" chloe asked, after she raised her eyes again.

"You look so tired ... I couldn't help waking you up. Moreover, you have tried your best to take care of me," Matthew replied. "Thank you."

Matthew who was still holding his hand, smiling and looking at Chloe fixedly, made Chloe feel that there was something strange in her stomach.

The temperature on Chloe's face began to increase, so she thought quickly to get away from Matthew, before Matthew saw his face which now would definitely pour, because it was hot.

"I'm going to check your sprained leg" Chloe reasoned, so she could get out of bed immediately, and pick up the ice pad from the floor.

After paying attention to Matthew's ankle for a while, Chloe's mind finally sidetracked, and she could feel as usual returning.

"Is it still very painful?" ask Chloe.

Matthew tried to move his leg, then said,

"Hm ... Still hurts. But it wasn't as painful as last night."

Chloe, who then looked at the watch on her wrist, realized that it was already morning, and it was almost time to go to the office.

"Now it's time to go to the office" chloe chirped, waiting for a response from Matthew. "Do you want to rest at home first? I can take care of your work for a while."

"Ugh?" Chloe's confused.

"You help me go to the bathroom. Then, you also helped me when I came back here, and got dressed," Matthew said, explaining.

Chloe was silent for a moment while thinking, before she finally agreed to Matthew's request, saying,

"Good, Sir! ... But when you shower, I will return to the pavilion ... So inevitably, you have to wait until I finish changing clothes. Then I come back here, and help you again."

"Yes ... No problem," Matthew said, then slowly moved down from the top of his bed, assisted by Chloe.

Chloe helps Matthew walk to the bathroom, so Matthew can sit on the edge of the bathtub.

And before Chloe left, Chloe still told Matthew, saying,

"Please be careful inside here. Do not let you slip, then only cause new injuries. Especially if no one knows, what happened to you here."

"Okay!" matthew, who later became a sign for Chloe, to get out of Matthew's bathroom.

In a hurry, Chloe went to the pavilion, and immediately prepared herself for work that day.

Feeling anxious, just in case anything happens to Matthew in the bathroom, Chloe really tries to get ready as soon as possible, and goes back to see Matthew in the main house.

"The sir! ... Are you done?" chloe asked, before she opened Matthew's bathroom door.

"Yes." Yeah." Matthew's voice came from behind the door.

When Chloe opens the bathroom door, Matthew is seen sitting on the edge of the bathtub, just wearing a towel, to cover the abdomen up to his knees.

Chloe then takes another towel, and thrusts it at Matthew. "Your hair is still very wet!"

Matthew rubs his head with the towel Chloe gave him, while Chloe picks up the hairdryer, and turns it on immediately, helping to dry Matthew's hair.

After that, Chloe helped Matthew walk back to his room, then sat Matthew on the edge of the bed.

"Which clothes do you want to wear?" ask Chloe.

"Light blue shirt ... Navy blue suit, so do the pants," replied Matthew.

Chloe then takes everything Matthew asks for, from inside the walk-in closet, and puts it all on the bed. "I'm gonna go get the medicine box, because your leg needs bandages."

Matthew then pulls Chloe's arm. "Didn't you feel like it was lacking?"

Matthew points to a suit of clothing, which Chloe thinks is complete, as Chloe has also chosen a tie, belt and socks, without being asked by Matthew.

Chloe looked at Matthew in confusion.

"I haven't worn underwear yet" said Matthew, whose face immediately appeared red, to his ears and neck.

"Ugh? ... I'm sorry." In a hurry, Chloe went back inside the walk-in closet, then took out a piece of underwear for Matthew.

"Everything?" chloe asked, putting her luggage on the bed.

"Yes ... Thank you" said Matthew, who looked timid.

As Chloe walked out of Matthew's room, it felt like Chloe could not stop thinking about how the shape of Matthew's chest was field and broad shoulders.

Equipped with his handsome face, Matthew really looks very attractive. Especially when Matthew smiled....

Hm....

Chloe let out a long sigh, then exhaled slowly over and over, so that she could calm down and wake herself up.

Chloe must not be interested, especially until she falls in love with Matthew.

Chloe must remember, how Matthew's attitude is stiff and quite rude, when dealing with him.

After retrieving the medicine box, Chloe returned to Matthew's room, and found Matthew who was almost done dressing.

Chloe put a bandage on Matthew's ankle, before he helped tidy up the whole appearance of his boss, until Matthew was ready to go to the office.

And when Matthew got in the car, and Chloe was about to sit in the front passenger seat, Matthew said, saying,

"Chelle! ... Just sit here with me!"
