Chapter 6:Pratical Joke

Just when Chloe wondered why Shawn knew her appetites, she heard Shawn’s indifferent questions.

Her enthusiasm and wonders suddenly faded.

“Of course I like them.” Chloe answered, seeming a little bit angry. She took a doughnut casually, with a fake a smile, and said, “Good job, You know a lot about girls. Seems you are very experienced.”

Shawn’s face darkened at once, his lips trembling. And he hurried to turn his face to other side, in order to prevent Chloe from noticing his emotional changes. Praise or satire? It did not sound like a complement. When Shawn turned to look at Chloe, he found she was eating, as if nothing had happened.

Shawn felt so warm when watching Chloe eating happily.

And Chloe suddenly found that only she was eating, and Shawn was just sitting here.

Chloe moved her sight from food to Shawn’s face, and Shawn quickly returned to poker face. Chloe asked, “You don’t eat?”

Shawn was glad that he noticed Chloe in time and succeed in hiding the real himself. He slightly shook his head, wearing a face showing disgust, and said, “I won’t eat such food.”

The food on the table all fit Chloe’s appetite well. And Chloe felt she’s been offended by his words. She said to herself, with a nonchalant shrug, “Sorry, I forget you are Mr. Cloud, who is delicate and will not eat such food. ”

Chloe’s low voice together with her full mouth food made it difficult for Shawn to hear what she was saying. Shawn was so curious what Chloe had said. He moved closer and tried his best to listen. He was a good actor, still having a poker face.

It was at noon. The time allocation in PRADO was quiet reasonable. There was one hour for lunch and one hour for nap. So basically one had free time of two hours. But within 20 minutes, Chloe has finished one third food on the table, all by herself, which shocked Shawn.

But he seemed to be more satisfied than Chloe whose face was glowing with happiness and joy.

Chloe soon had enough food. She felt thirsty, so that she was about to ask for a drink when Shawn noticed cream on her mouth and he stretched his hands to wipe it off.

His action was so sudden that Chloe failed to react. She just felt cold fingers touching her face, freezing but gentle.

Shawn’s face was so close to her eyes. She saw his attractive eyes under bushy and delicate eyebrows. He had tall nose, under which appeared a pink lip. Every detail on his face was perfect. He was attractive and charming. But why his complexion was so pale, far more than the normal. Something was burning inside Chloe and she was eager to touch his lips to see whether his lips were as cold as his fingers, but seconds later, she was shocked by her thoughts.

She hurried to look away and acted like nothing had happened. But Shawn noticed her flushing face and felt triumphant. But he soon returned to cold face.

“ah” Chloe gave a hiccup. Nervousness always drove her to make a belch.

Shawn returned to his seat.

“Could I have some water?” Chloe asked, looking at Shawn. Meanwhile, she kept patting her chest in an attempt to stop make odd sounds.

Shawn stood up right away and fetched a cup of orange juice for her.

Chloe took the juice from him, and drunk up in in one gulp for she was too embarrassed to make odd sounds.

The lunch break was over.

Chloe thanked Shawn, and left away as quickly as she could.

Complicated feelings emerged in Shawn’s heart when he saw Chloe hurried to go away.

Soon Chloe got to the design department. She was going straight to her office, she found that others were sitting together and talking but suddenly stopped after seeing her.

“Look, our excellent designer is back!” Mandy sneered, with her arms crossed over her chest.

“She is appointed by our boss” Cecilia followed.

They continued to make fun of her. Chloe ignored them and just went straight to her seat.

“Chloe, where did you go? I saw just now you were from upstairs?” Briony asked curiously.

Now everybody fixed their eyes on Chloe for an answer.

Wicked idea came to Mandy’s mind, and she smiled, “Don’t you understand? Do not be probed.”

“Alright, everyone back to work. We are not employed for fun.” The design director Edith proposed impatiently.

Then everyone went back to their seats, so did Chloe.

However, she felt a burst of coldness at the moment when she sat down. She hastened to stand up and found a pool of ink lying still on her seat. She was in a white dress today, and now realized what had happened to her just now. She quickly took a sketch book to cover her butt and rushed to the restroom.

“Ha ha ha!”

Others could not stop laughing at Chloe. How stupid she was.

“Quick! Let’s follow her.” Mandy whispered to Cecilia and Briony. They all hurried to follow Chloe to the restroom.

Several girls were chatting by the side of the sink. Feeling so awkward, Chloe lowered her head and quickly walk into one cubicle. She checked the dress behind her. It was in a mess. A large spot of ink on it, and the dress was super thin.

“Water poured down her head”

She didn’t know how to make response for this.

Then she heard quick footsteps and someone escaped in a flurry.
