The next morning I woke up surprisingly energetic and decided to clean the house. the advantage of joblessness, one has more than enough spare time. Vivian spoke to me from the sitting room while I clean the fridge. She kept going on and on about their family vacation in two weeks.
" I still don't want to go there " she complained " Hawaii is no longer a place that I get excited about "
" then tell your father," I said while scrubbing the bottom of the fridge
" I would have but brothers are against me these days," she said, " they say that my father spoilt me, always agrees with what I say " she murmured irritated
" I agree with them for once " I whispered to myself
" do you think am spoilt?" She shouts the question and I pause for a while. Should I just lie to her or tell her the truth " Cleo? "
" No way, why will they say that?" I faked anger " they know not a single thing about you "
" thank you..... I mean, do they have any idea how hard I work, to keep my job "
" Yes. The job your father got you " I added sarcastically while I dried the spot I just cleaned
" hey. Are you being sarcastic ? " she yelled
" not at all " smiling " you do deserve a good vacation "
" thank you " with that, we lived in silence.
I finished cleaning the fridge and moved to the counter. In a short while, I heard the TV. Vivian switches through channels for something interesting. To my surprise, she stopped at the news " Cloe!!!, Cleo!!!" Vivian called drastically " Cleo come "
" what is it? " I hurried out of the kitchen, leaving my work behind
" Come see " pointing to the Television while in an almost standing position on the couch. My eyes fell on the TV and were surprised to see Edward being interviewed by a reporter with a whole lot of commotion going on behind him
" is that...... Edward?" With a confused express
" that is not what I'm showing you. Read the caption " My eyes fell on the write-up below " a person was found in the company freezer "
" a person?" Shocked " I don't understand "
" Have you forgotten Edward is the CEO of a wine company " she reminded and I nodded in response. " a person was found in their company freezer " she explained
" holy shit " I hurried to sit next to her " how is that possible " my eyes set on the news
" the body found in the freezer is identified to be Phillip Johnson, a 28 years old engineer. How did he get in there is still under investigation? " the image pops up beside the reporter leaving me speechless, shocked and confused
" is that not your Ex ?" I could sense the shock and confusion in Vivian's voice as well " why is he in a freezer? Hope he is alive?"
" he is being rushed to the hospital, right now with a low possibility of survival " the continued
" why....... What " I sense her gaze on me, then on the TV once again
" Cloe, what happened?"
" how do you expect me to know?.... I am as surprised as you are " I scold
" but you said you ran into him yesterday how comes he ended up in a freezer " she yells
" Why are you yelling at me? " I yelled back, confused by her reaction " is this my fault? "
"Isn't it strange....... You...." She pause, and took a deep breath " you ran into your Ex yesterday and the next day he is found in the freezer of a company whose CEO has a thing for you "
