Bitter & Sweet
Part 2


There wasn't much of Chloe's luggage, even though she had to move, so she didn't need much time to pack it all up.


Most of the luggage, just a change of clothes, makeup supplies, a few pairs of shoes and bags, and a few copies of the work papers, which he usually takes home.


And all that, it can be carried in two large suitcases, and one medium-sized tote bag.


The rest of the objects left inside the studio apartment where Chloe had been living all this time, were indeed inventory items belonging to the apartment building manager.


Thus, Chloe certainly could not carry all the objects, which were inside the apartment, other than the items that were her own.


By taking a taxi, Chloe was escorted to the address that Nathan had given her.


A magnificent two-story house, and modern style, with a large number of glass windows, to look as if replacing concrete walls, then surrounded by a high fence, become a destination that matches the address it holds.


Chloe then asked for help from the taxi driver, to bring her things, to the front door of a pavilion, which was near the main house building.


With a thank you and a handful of rewards, Chloe was left behind by the taxi driver, standing alone in front of the pavilion door.


The pavilion key, which Nathan had given him, was used by Chloe to open the door, and then bring in all his luggage.


"Not bad!" chloe, who was talking to herself, when looking at the inside of the pavilion.


The place actually looks more spacious and complete, when compared to the studio apartment room, where Chloe has been living all this time.


Not lingering any longer, Chloe took out all her luggage, and arranged it inside there, while waiting for the arrival of the boy from Nathan.


According to Nathan, his son, Matthew McLean, will go to the house after lunch break.


And on Matthew's arrival, Chloe is asked to meet him immediately and introduce herself, so that Matthew can get used to it immediately, with Chloe by his side.


Chloe already knows that from the marriage between Nathan and Maddison, has two children, who are a pair of twins, male.


However, Chloe has never met either of Nathan and Maddison's twins.


Chloe only knows their name, that the firstborn is Matthew, and the youngest, is Matteo.


Both Matthew and Matteo, joined his Grandpa, and lived abroad, since they were both three years old.


Chloe also does not know what the reason is, until the twins from Nathan and Maddison, must live apart from both parents.


Although there is a bit of curiosity, Chloe is not interested in finding out more, about the personal affairs of the Nathan family.


So, even though Nathan and Maddison's attitude is very good to him, so is the working relationship between Chloe and Nathan which is good, but Chloe never asks anything, about personal matters to Nathan.


***


The lunch break had been over an hour, but there was no sign yet that Matthew would be coming to the place.


To the extent that, Chloe even almost fell asleep, due to waiting too long, while swinging by sitting on a chairlift, which was attached to a large tree, he said, the one in the garden in the front yard.


Tired of waiting, Chloe finally chooses to enter the main house, and meet the assigned workers, to take care of the house.


Feeling that there was nothing she was doing, Chloe ended up helping out with the housekeeping job, which was supposed to be done by the housekeeper at the place.


Chloe was wiping off a large glass wall in one of the rooms, which was inside the house, when someone walked into it.


For a moment, Chloe looked at a man standing face to face with her.


Looking at his overall appearance, it seemed, the man was not a worker in the house.


Finally, Chloe noticed the man's eye color, which was green like an emerald gemstone, and reminded Chloe of Maddison.


Oh, gosh!


"Are you going to continue working? Or just gonna look at me?" said the man with a firm tone of voice, while putting on an unhappy look.


"Hi, Sir! ... My name is Chloe!" chloe, smiling, immediately introduced herself to the man, who she thought was Matthew.


"I'm not asking what is your name! ... If you're done, get out of here!" matthew said, ketus.


Chloe was wide-eyed, looking at Matthew's movements that were completely unfriendly, and completely different from Nathan, or Maddison.


Matthew was seen going to lie on the bed, and then, while linking his eyebrows together, he said,


"What are you doing there?"


Chloe who had subconsciously looked at Matthew while deep in her own thoughts, was quite surprised, because of Matthew's voice that was snapping at him.


"I'm sorry, Sir ... You must be very tired ... Excuse me first!" chloe said, then walked to the door, so she could get out of the room


"Wait a minute!" matthew said, suddenly, until Chloe held back her steps, then turned around.


"What's up, sir?" ask Chloe.


"Tell the assistant appointed by my daddy, that I want to meet him, later this afternoon!" matthew said, still with his tone of voice taut.


"Good, Sir! ... I'll give him your message" Chloe replied.


Chloe was deliberately acting as if she did not know anything, and intended to prank her new boss, who according to her temporary judgment, was too arrogant.


"Is there anything else you need, sir?" Chloe continued to ask Matthew.


"Nothing" said Matthew, and was seen lying sideways on the bed, looking back at Chloe.


Shaking her head, Chloe walked out of the room, then closed the door.


"Geez! ... Very unfortunate ... His face was very handsome, but it had a rude attitude, like that," said Chloe, who spoke to herself.


Since there were still a few hours left, before the end of the afternoon, as it passed away from the main house, and headed to the pavilion, Chloe planned to rest for a while there.


***


I don't know how long Chloe slept in her room in the pavilion.


But after she awakens, Chloe hurriedly goes to clean up, in preparation for her official meeting with Matthew.


Wearing a work suit, Chloe goes to the main house and tells the house assistant Matthew that she is ready to meet him.


Beyond a doubt, Matthew was waiting for Chloe, in his study.


After knocking on the door, Chloe rushed into the study, and found Matthew sitting there, putting on a face that Chloe could not interpret.


"Good afternoon, sir!" hello Chloe.


"I'm waiting for the assistant CEO. And don't want to meet the janitor!" matthew said, firmly.


"I'm sorry, Sir ... My name is Chloe Fern. I am the assistant CEO, asked by Mister Nathan McLean, to serve Mister Matthew McLean" Chloe said, insisting that she smile.
