SLS#2# Revengeful Mrs. Blankfein

I Trust You

Cindy's POV

" Yes, she is my cousin. My mom and her mom are sisters." Clara said to me. I looked at her weirdly.

" That means she is the daughter of your maternal aunt?" I asked her.

" Yeah, she is." She said.

" But .. I..umm .. I mean she has never told me about that. Moreover when I have talked about Steve with her last year she acted like she doesn't even know him." I said confusedly.

Now it is cleared why Steve was acting weird that time. Because they are too close to each other. But why didn't Chloe tell me about this before?! She could have told me about this.

" Because Steve had told her to do so." Patrick said.

" He didn't want me to know that?" I asked.

" Partly yes. But you would eventually come to know if you haven't run away that day from your wedding." Patrick said and I felt a bit uncomfortable with that issue.

" But ..umm..I don't remember Chloe attending our wedding. Because I have met all the guests with Steve. He introduced me with everyone and Chloe wasn't there." I said.

" She missed the flight. This why couldn't reach in time. But she was going to join the reception." Clara said and I nodded. " If she would tell you that she is Steve's cousin then you would have run away from here too." Clara said and I sighed. That's true.

" I mean. I am sorry for that. I didn't want to run away but I had to. I didn't have any other option left." I said to her.

" Leave it, Cindy. It's over. You are here with us. Only that matters. Past is past. Don't drag it in present. We should be worried about Chloe now. God knows when she will wake up." Clara said sighing deeply. I nodded and kept praying silently.

I was thinking what happened in the office in the office when I met her. She was very irritated with the executives. 

Flashback

" Good morning, Cinderella." Ann said as soon as I entered the office and I chuckled.

" Grown up, kid. Grown up. Don't remain a kid." I said to her and she rolled her eyes.

" Why do you always spoil my mood when I don't want to fight with you?" She asked me. I chuckled.

" I don't know. Don't have any idea. But you stop watching childish things. It is stopping you from growing up mentally." I said.

" Then what will I watch? Adult stuffs?" She asked me.

" You can if you want to. You are already 18 anyways." I told just to irritate her.

" Die." She said to me.

" Then you will keep crying." I said and she rolled her eyes.

" My childish things are way too better than those adult stuffs." She said twisting her lips. I chuckled. I knew she would give me this answer. She always says that. " And I am happy with that. I don't want to grow up. Once you grow up there will be thousands of problems running around your head all the time. So, being kid is a blessing." She said.

" Like you don't have any problems now running around your head?" I asked her.

" I have. This is why I want to be a kid again. I want to enjoy the childhood again." She said.

" You are so selfish, Anaya. You want to leave me?" I asked her. She looked at me in horror then looked around if anyone heard that.

" Stop calling me that every now and then." She told me glaring at me and I chuckled.

" Alright. Let's go." I said and we went to Chloe's cabin.

" What the f*ck is wrong with you?" We heard Chloe's angry voice and went inside the cabin.

" What happened here?" I asked them.

" Nothing happened here. You guys can leave. Me. Portwalt is a bit busy as you guys can see. So, please come later." One of the people said.

" Excuse me, it's Chloe's cabin. If she tells us to leave then we definitely will but we are not going anywhere until she utters that by herself." Ann said and I nodded.

" Silly girls. Why will I ask you guys to leave?" She asked us.

" Alright then we don't have to leave now." I said smilingly. " I hope whatever you are doing is doing for our good. So, I will just sit there silently. Won't disturb you guys. You can continue."  We sat there silently.

" So you don't agree with us?" One of the men said.

" Never ever." Chloe said.

" What's wrong with this deal?" That guy asked.

" I have given my opinion. If you have anything else to say then you can ask Vivan. I am lest interested to talk to you guys now. Before leave." Chloe said to them. " Oh yes, you guys can state this demand to Mr. Campbell. But before that I will suggest you to think about your life. Because he is not at all a good person if you mess up with him." Chloe said.

" Ms. Portwalt.." one of them tried to say something.

" The door is that way." She pointed the door.

" Are you telling us to leave?" He asked.

" Please." Chloe said.

" Alright. We will also do everything that we need to do for granting our point and you will regret making us your enemy." He said.

" Shut up and leave." Chloe said.

They left and we sat across her.

" What happened?" I asked her.

" These bust*rd are eating my brain. God helps me." She said checking the files and her phone started to ring. She took her phone and check the caller ID. She gritted her teeth and picked the call up.

" Don't disturb me, stupid. I am busy." She said angrily.

----------------------

" I do remember and even if I forget you won't let me forget it." She said.

----------------------

" Then why bother to ask?" She asked.

---------------------

" Die." She said gritting.

--------------------

" No need. I will be there in time. Now stop spoiling my mood." She said and hung up.

" Who was that?" Ann asked.

" A stupid." She said.

" Is that Matt?" I asked to tease her.

" Yes." She gritted and I tried hard not to laugh out loud.

" I swear I will kill this stupid one day." She said.

Flashback Ends

" Are you ok?" I found Steve standing in front of me.

" Yeah. I am ok." I said.

" Here. Your phone was ringing. Matt had called you. He said it's very urgent. Call him back." He said as he sat next to me.

" He is my friend." I told him before things goes out of hands. He looked at me for awhile.

" And why are you telling that to me?" He asked me.

" I...umm...I thought you might be thinking who he is this is why." I said.

" I haven't asked you, Babe. I don't mind you having male friends. I trust you." He said and I kept looking at him weirdly. I thought he would be jealous. But one word from him made things clear. 'Trust'. The most important thing in any relationship.
