Who's there?" She rasped in fear immediately as she saw her stepfather running out of the Room. What the hell? What was he even doing in her Room? Was he spying on her? She thought as she went to close the door and continue her bathing process.

"Good morning ma'am!" Chloe greeted her stepmother on remembering her instructions. Her eyes suddenly caught Ryder down as she fist her hands and fumed in anger about to walk away when her stepmother called her back.

"Shall we tell her the truth!" She heard her stepmother asking her stepfather as she halted her footsteps and walked towards their two who were smiling.

"What is your mother……! So...... we've planned to move the restaurant from our former place and open it in (Saint Mary high school) . How do you see such ideas? Chloe was very dumbfounded on hearing about that. "What do you say about it? I mean to say your opinion! Eleanor asked but she didn't say a word. She was just dumbfounded.

"If you like stand there all day like a statue because your own opinion doesn't matter anyway. But nevertheless you ought to do whatever I tell you to do. I'm sure you know the chairman of the school? He's a Good friend of mine and I have talked to him about this. With this way our business will be beeping with a lot of customers.

"If that's your plan, no problem!" Chloe was feeling so bad because Saint Mary high school was her dream school and seeing her mate there will only make her wish if her father was alive to fulfill her dream. "So Chloe, you're going to buy a very big expensive fish for me!" What type of fish exactly ma'am?

She shrugged at her so impatiently. Angelfish Black and white Which cost about ($20000) okay ma'am but isn't that too expensive? "Totally not!" She nodded her head." I Was to impressed the chairman of the school got that!. So go get dressed and buy it.

Chloe after getting dressed carried the bag which contained the money and went to the main road. She took a taxi cab and in twenty minutes she was done buying the fish but on her way there was some traffic. But it wasn't just traffic , it was something different. On coming down from the car she found two people talking. Probably some lover birds

"How could you do that to my friend Sophia? So you've been cheating on me the whole time? She heard the guy scolding the lady who looked like his girlfriend.

"So you're now calling me by my name now babe", ...I told you it was a misunderstanding between us and what you saw wasn't even real. Why do you think that I will cheat on you? Of course I love you with all my heart.

She watched the lady uttered with so much tears as she nodded her head and sighed frustratedly.

"I'm sorry Sophia but I don't think I can do this anymore; I'm breaking up with you and it's real this time around. There's no coming back so I will advise you to continue doing whatever you were doing with my friend because I'm totally done with you. I'm fucking tired of all your lies Sophia so let us go on our separate way from now on.

Chloe scoffs as she watches him going to his car. All she could do at the moment was to smirk at them. She does wonder why people date when they can do things on their own because at the end they always break up.

But now why's this guy not moving his car? Didn't he realize that he's blocking people from moving? She thought as she decided to approach him.

"Well done Mr. Man! May I ask you a question? Are you the president's son or what position does your father have that gives you this right and confidence to waste people's time by blocking them off with your useless packing space? Chloe shrugged at him as he came down from the car now facing her. It seems like she doesn't have an idea of who he was.

"Seems like you don't know me!" I'm Sebastian! Those people can wait until I'm done with whatever that I'm doing and it's none of my business because I don't care," didn't you see that I was having a conversation with someone earlier? And also who are you to question me? Sebastian shrugged at her with a serious Face as she smirked.

"I'm Chloe if you don't know me! But let me tell you something you don't know, respect is reciprocal! It doesn't matter who you might be but at least have a little respect for people. Now can you enter this your car and pack well because you're wasting my damn fucking time. Chloe bellowed at him as he scoffed.

"Watch your manners little ram because you can possibly get yourself jailed and killed by talking to me as if maybe we are mates. If this is how you talk to your parents at home don't try that outside because they might teach you a lesson especially from someone like me.

Sebastian hopped in his car and drove away immediately as she went back to the cap man. I'm sorry for taking too long! She checked the fish which she had bought and found out that it was dead. Ohh no I'm dead and totally doomed! She thought of seeing the lifeless fish.

"May I continue driving ma'am?" The driver shrugged at her as she nodded her head. "No please take me back to the place we're coming From. I forget to buy something. The driver reversed the car as she eyed Sebastian who was about hopping on his car.

*Thanks to you gentlemen for making this fish die!" She uttered in his mind and bit her lips as they drove away. Her stepmother would kill her if she came back empty handed with the dead fish. So she has to remove some money which she had been saving for college tuition and use it to buy it. What a hard decision for her. She has to do this either way her stepmother will definitely kill her.
