Probably not
Still absentminded she didn't notice when the cab she boarded arrived at the Reigns estate and pulled to a stop in front of the mansion. Her mind is still dwelling on the day's events . The driver's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
" We're here ma'am " The driver said, and watched her forlorn look through the rear view mirror, wondering what she was thinking that made her seem oblivious to her surroundings. Chloe gathered her thoughts together, thanked the driver and stepped out of the cab . She exhaled deeply and made her way towards the huge teakwood door , She reached out to place her palm on the palm scanner placed on the wall for identification purposes but stopped midway when she remembered that she was yet to install her palm print in the palm scanner so as to be identified as a resident in the Reigns Mansion.
She hissed muse at her ill luck , fortunately for her the door opened and revealed Clara's silhouette smiling at her.
" Welcome ma'am " she said and stepped aside for Chloe who had a look of confusion written boldly all over her face to enter.
" How did you know I was outside?" She couldn't help but ask.
" Sir Liam told me to open the door as you are yet to register your palm print in the scanner ". She hurriedly explained with ease.
" Mr Liam is back? "
" Yes , he said you should freshen up and come back downstairs he would be having dinner with you "
Chloe blinked twice at the turn of events, she escaped Daisy's clutches with the excuse that she's not feeling well so as to come back and think things through knowing fully well that Liam will not be back by now , but it looks like the devil chose today of all days to come back early and even requested to have dinner with her !
" Where is he now?" She inquired
" Sir Liam is in his study on the second floor "
Flashing Clara with her subtle smile she made her way to the stairs, her bedroom was suited at the second floor, till now she's yet to have a tour of the Reigns mansion, she didn't even know her way around the house except the four corners of her room. Midway on the stairs she stopped when she saw lights in one of the rooms on the second floor , ' maybe that's his office ' she thought. She was tempted to go see how his study looks but on a second thought dissipated against it .
Once in the comfort of her bedroom she didn't hesitate to strip and enter the bathroom, she opened the shower and allowed the cold water to pour lightly and slowly on her ,to dissipate and calm her nerves . Her mind drifting to her conversation with the stranger at the restaurant , she pondered on what to do . If she gives them her consent by providing them with whatever information they want about Liam they would probably keep her brother safe,' Probably' , it's not like there's a guarantee but she has to give it a try anyway, her brother's life is on the line. 'ugh! what am I even thinking it's not like I know anything about him! Am not even that close to him ! She ruffled her head in frustration.
Talking to her imaginary self in the bathroom, she awkwardly stood in the shower, her conscience pricking her on what she was about to do . ' Don't blame me, ok ! I know what I'm about to do is very very wrong ! But what would you have me do ?
Her imaginary self replied her ' Tell Liam of course '
' pfft, haha', she laughed sarcastically at her naive imaginary self. ' Can you hear yourself ? Tell Liam ? Hell No! He will probably kill me ! '
Her imaginary self shake her head at her sense of reasoning ' PROBABLY he will PROBABLY he won't '
' No! Am not taking any chances, am not a martyr to die for a course I didn't sign up for ! ' she retorted biting her nails.
' And besides Tyler's life is on the line I can't risk it for anything else he's the only family I have left except for my father who's wallowing. . . I rather not think about him, he's too selfish to be my father'.
' What if Liam finds out ' her imaginary self countered
' He won't , he's too occupied to think about me nor even blink in my direction '.
' Even if he do finds out he will let me go it's not like am snooping on him for money, a life is on the line he will understand that '
'He will not , knowing his personality it's better you come clean ' her imaginary self chided her.
' Knowing him? ' What am I doing talking to myself! She dismissed her imaginations to focus on the issue at hand.
She didn't know how long she stayed in the shower , until she felt goosebumps on her skin. It occurred to her that she had stayed too long showering . ' Shit ! ' Liam must be downstairs by now waiting for me . Wrapping herself in a white towel she rushed out of the bathroom , thanking her stars that she brought out her pajamas before taking a shower, she hurriedly strapped it in and wore her fluffy house slipper and dashed out of her bedroom forgetting to dry her hair.
