Bitter & Sweet
The Part 29

Although Chloe did not have time to know who the woman who wanted to talk to David was four eyes, but Chloe could have guessed, if the woman might be David's ex-lover.

According to Chloe, the woman was very beautiful, and from her fashionable appearance, perhaps the woman came from the upper class like David.

Or at the very least, the woman may have a job that can make enough money, to finance all needs, to support her appearance until it is near perfect.

However, Chloe did not want to think too much about something she did not know for sure.

In order to give David and the woman time, Chloe stays inside the public bathroom, looking through the screen.

Approximately 15 minutes of time that has passed, Chloe who was standing leaning against the sink, then thought to try to see the situation outside.

Because maybe, if David had finished talking to the woman who met him.

However, the real Chloe just intended to peek, it was surprised by the presence of David and the woman, in the hallway in front of the public bathroom door.

Chloe could not avoid it anymore, because at that time David had a meeting with Chloe who opened the door.

Inevitably, Chloe finally walks outside from inside the public bathroom.

Chloe didn't have time to say anything, and didn't even have time to think, as the fast-moving David hugged and kissed her lips.

It didn't take long for Chloe to wake up, and immediately pushed David away. Not rude, but enough to keep David away from him.

"See! ... He's not what you thought he was. So I'm after him, and not the other way around" said David, who appeared to be directed at the woman still with him.

The woman then gave a rude snort, then turned around and passed away from there, leaving David with Chloe.

After the woman's back was nowhere to be seen again, David then seemed to attempt to explain.

"I'm sorry I kissed you without permission ... He thinks of you as a gold digger. So I deliberately touched you in front of him....

... I wanted to prove to him that I like you—" David stopped his words all of a sudden, and looked as if he had spoken wrongly.

"... Maybe my words sound like I'm using you to make her jealous. But, Chloe ... To be honest, I don't think so...

... I really like you, and I want to defend you. Because I know, if you don't intend to approach me on purpose. Especially if you want to sell me your body."

Until David seems to have finished explaining to her, Chloe is still silent, because she does not know what to say to respond to David's words.

"Remember what I told you, about my ex-boyfriend chasing me first? ... He is the one" David said.

David then takes Chloe to walk slowly, leading back to the table they used earlier.

"He thinks I'm so stupid that I want to be played with by a woman like her again" said David, sitting in his chair.

Chloe, who sits back in her place, recalls the story of David, who said that one of her former lovers approached her first.

However, after David really fell in love, and could even be said to have been infatuated with him, the woman actually cut off their relationship unilaterally.

David still asks her to return to be his lover, but the woman has chosen to date someone else.

According to David's story to Chloe earlier, it was the most painful experience for him, so it took him a long time until he could rearrange his life.

And it was because of that woman, who made David always feel very hesitant, to try to have a serious relationship with another woman.

"Nrt! ... Ii'm sorry. Meeting her, it just seems to ruin our date" David says, breaking Chloe's daydreams.

"It's okay, sir," said Chloe. "But, .. Can I know? Was it your ex-lover's goal, just to keep me away from you?"

"Hm ... He wanted to come back to me, "David replied, sounding like a riled up person.

"But I'm not interested. I took pains to forget, so that I could move on with my life in peace, and then suddenly she wanted to come back to me....

... He thinks he's still that special ... I couldn't possibly plunge myself into the same muddy hole, for the second time" David continued.

Once again, Chloe then remembered David's words, that David had never met his ex-girlfriend again, since David had completely separated from her, and David decided to stop expecting her again.

"Hm ... Forgive me ... But, are you okay?" chloe asked, be careful.

David smiled broadly, then said,

"Before, I was very anxious just in case I would meet him again, and I might go crazy over it....

... But, after I met him, I could feel very relieved. Because what I really want, can be seen clearly. I don't love her anymore."

David then took a sip of his coffee, which he hurriedly spewed out again.

"I'm sorry ... I don't want to make you feel disgusted. But the coffee is already very cold." David wiped the tip of his mouth with his thumb.

Chloe chuckled at him, then said,

"Do you want to order a new coffee?"

"Hm ... Do you still want to relax here?" David asked back.

"If you want to get out of here, I'll agree" replied Chloe, who felt that David might be tired of being there.

"Now! ... I want to take you somewhere else" said David, then stood up from his seat.

And the other place David was referring to, it turned out to be going to his house.

For that reason, she wanted Chloe to change into one of the dresses she bought earlier, in order to go to the place that was her true destination.

"I don't have any makeup on" said David, as he invited Chloe into his house.

"Where are we going, sir?" ask Chloe, curious.

"That's a surprise" said David, then directed Chloe, into one of the rooms in his house.

"You can get ready here. I'll also get ready in my room. If you need anything, you can catch up with me." David pointed to the door of the room, which was next to the room that Chloe was going to wear.

"Good, Sir!" chloe said, then closed the door, after David went to his own room.

***

The bright red dress is Chloe's choice to wear right now, paired with golden high heels.

Because Chloe only carries solid powder and lip dye in her bag, Chloe's makeup looks thin and simple.

However, the reaction shown by David when he saw Chloe, was not that simple.

David seemed to admire Chloe's appearance, so he looked as if he had forgotten to blink, while putting a big smile on his face.

"You're really pretty" said David, then touched one side of Chloe's face, and stroked her gently and slowly.

"I want to kiss you ... Can I kiss your cheek?" david asked half a whisper, as if he was worried that Chloe would be mad at him.

Chloe who smiled, then nodded in agreement, became a cue for David to bring her face closer, and kissed one of Chloe's cheeks.

"You will draw attention from those who see you. Is it possible, if I just keep you for me?" david said, looking to put on a serious face.

"You don't joke. You'll be considered a kidnapper" Chloe said, chuckling.

Chloe, who noticed that David's bow tie looked less neat, then immediately reached out her hand, and tidied the tie worn by David.

"I'm getting curious, where are we going? Why dress this?" ask Chloe.

"Look at it later...!" david said, then asked Chloe to leave the house immediately.

***

An Opera House, David's next destination, takes Chloe with him.

"We're going to watch Opera?" Chloe simply asked, because she already knew the answer.

"I hope you like it. Because I'm just fumbling, going anywhere I can take you on a date with me" David said.

"I love it, but I can never watch it. Because in addition to being busy with work, it is quite difficult to get empty seats at every show," said Chloe, honestly.

"Good! ... I can leave a good impression, which will be hard for you to forget" said David, sounding excited.

While the two of them watch the show, David continues to hold one of Chloe's hands, and clasps it tightly.

To be honest, Chloe felt a bit confused because of David's treatment of her, which was as if David was really interested in her.

But Chloe did not want to linger on it, and chose to enjoy her time alone, which she found quite enjoyable, when she spent it with David.
