Quote of the day: All that glitters are not gold, and not all gold glitters 😁.

Ashley heard the door open and bang close. She knew Chloe was definitely home. Chloe just always finds a way to announce her arrival.

Ashley sat upright on her bed. She and Greg had arrived a few hours ago, he asked his driver to drop her home saying she needed to rest and he had gone to his office.

On their way back, Greg hadn't been all to friendly. They had spent the journey in silence, and immediately they got to the airport he had insisted his driver dropped her home while he hailed a taxi. It felt like he wanted to leave her in hurry, the guy felt all too bipolar to her.

"Waaow! and she is back from the honeymoon," Chloe yelled yanking her room door open. Ashley wasn't the least bit surprised at that, Chloe was just that way.

"I went on a bloody business trip not honeymoon Chloe," she said which she knew was really not necessary because Chloe, would believe what she wants to.

"Well a business trip with your hot boss," Chloe said sitting closely beside her on the bed. Chloe gave her a look and Ashley knew what would come next, "so tell me what I need to know."

"And that would be?" Ashley asked feigning ignorance, she knew exactly what Chloe wanted to hear, but she wouldn't give her the satisfaction of talking.

"What happened between you and Greg of course," she said with an eye roll.

"Well nothing happened, I told you he had been avoiding me for some time now. He continued that in Spain and it seemed to grow worse there..."

"But... " Chloe said all to eager.

"You just knew there was a but...Well he kissed me this morning, and he slept in my bed overnight," she said slightly blushing.

"Kiss! I can't believe you guys are still in this kissing stage. Four whole days and nothing else happened," she scoffed with a disappointed look. "And how can you share a room with him and not jump him."

If only Chloe knew how hard she had to control herself from jumping him, this guy was supposed to be jailed for being so hot.

"Did you know Greg was the owner of Castello hotel" Ashley asked wanting to forget about how she had behaved when he kissed her that morning, because she knew Chloe would ask, and would endlessly tease her about it.

"No I don't... You mean the Castello? Wow, who would have thought... " Chloe said looking awed.

"And he designed a room for Nora in the presidential suite. The butler said they stayed there together for quite a long time."

"Who the heck is this Nora? She seems to be the antagonist in your love story," Chloe said with a pout.

"She is really important to him you know," Ashley said growing silent then.

"There is something else you are not telling me Ashley...What is it?" Chloe asked with concern evident in her grey eyes. Ashley felt really loved at that moment, she knew Chloe would always be there for her.

"I saw my father at Spain," she said her voice heavy with fear and concern.

"Oh no!" Chloe's eyes widened in horror. She was the only one who knew exactly what she had to endure with her father, she was the only one who knows how terrified of him she had been, "did he see you?"

"Yes he did, and I'm scared he saw me with Greg," she said what she feared the most.

"Why is it a problem if he saw you with Greg? He would just think he was someone whom you just met or something. And what the heck was he doing in Spain in the first place?"
