CHAPTER 31

EVEN though Cross was busy doing his job, his mind was full of what happened in Chloe's office earlier. He didn't want to leave her like that, sad and down, but he had no choice.

He already expected this to happen the moment their relationship got exposed but he didn't expect her father to be this serious that he even came all the way here to Tallahassee from Tennessee.

The corner of Cross' lips twitched knowing what would happen next.

"Cross?" Whatever he was thinking was interrupted by that voice. He turned his head to see who it was. Melanie. He stood up from repairing the doorknob.

"Oh, Hey, Melanie. It's been a while."

"Oh, Cross! It's really you! You're really back!" What she did next actually surprised him. She rushed towards him and threw her arms around him.

He chuckled. "I was only gone for two weeks but you're acting like we haven't seen each other for two years." She let go of him.

"Sorry for hugging you so suddenly. I was just happy to see you again."

"Really? I thought, you wouldn't say that because you were tired of my face already." She rolled her eyes.

"I didn't say anything of the sort. To be honest, I really missed you. I mean, you're the only guy friend I have here in Larsen Corp. and when you were on vacation for two weeks, I felt like something wasn't right with my day."

He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at her from head to toe. "Hmmm...You know what's wrong with you?" Her forehead crinkled.

"What?"

"You need a boyfriend so that you wouldn't feel like that whenever I'm not around. Maybe, you should give chance to that suitor of yours. I heard that he's been courting you for almost a year already." He said jokingly, referring to one of the company guards.

That guy had his eyes on Melanie and ever since he started working at Larsen Corp., he witnessed his efforts to pursue her even though the latter was always hot headed whenever she spots him.

"Dylan? For goodness' sake! It's better for me to stay single!" She even rolled her eyes which made him laugh.

"You know what? You're going to end up a spinster because of how picky you are. Nowadays, guys like Dylan are very rare. If he was another guy, he would've given up on you long time ago."

"Well, I've been asking him to find another woman to court but he never listened to me. Argh! He's really persistent!"

"So, you're choosing to be spinster instead of giving him a chance? If you don't really want him, why don't you try to find the right guy for you?"

"Well, it's better for me to be a spinster instead of trying to find the one for me instead of waiting for him to arrive because you usually find the wrong one when you're rushing things and I don't want that to happen to me. I can't live a life of regret because of poor choices." That made Cross smile and gently touched the top of her head like a kid.
