Chapter 15 (2)

Locating the apartment for Chloe was quite complicated than she thought, it had been a while she came here. Well it was only twice and then she needed money from Emily urgently for something and also her supposed boyfriend lived around this environment.

Her outfit felt out of place as she stepped out of the taxi to ask for directions but she didn't mind at all.

"Bella Klar, is she your sister?" One of the guys she had asked directions from asked her licking his lips seductively.

"No," Chloe had replied staring blankly at him, he wasn't cute or handsome so she wasn't buying into it.

"It's the building down there," the guy smiled at her as Chloe nodded and entered the taxi back to drive her down to the building.

"Can I get your number?" She heard the guy voice at her as the taxi was about to take off.

"When am coming back," Chloe smiled.

She paid the taxi when she got there and asked if he could wait till she got down but the man refused claiming he couldn't as this place didn't allow it.

Chloe decided if she couldn't find a taxi back she would go to the guy earlier and ask him to drive her home, a lot of people here owned cars and even if they didn't they had drivers.

Chloe instantly remembered the room when she got to the building so she didn't bother asking for directions as she stepped into the building.

When Emily eventually woke up that day, Leonard was still around or maybe he had left her and came back, she couldn't tell. He had gotten her drugs for the headaches and some food.

He watched her eat the food and didn't bother asking her any question about how she got herself in that state, he only informed her that he had come here as requested by Bella who thought she was drunk.

Drunk!

Emily had thought, did she get drunk? She remembered the hospital but she couldn't remember anything else and it bothered her because she knew something happened to her.

Even her phone was no where to be found when she remembered she had to go to work.

"I already talked to Mark on your behalf, you have a day off," Leonard had reassured her.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. How do you feel now?"

"Better, thank you for everything and am sorry I don't know what is wrong with me."

"Hangovers can be quite a lot, you will remember soon and when you do I hope you will tell me all about it."

Hangovers! Emily repeated in her head.

She watched Leonard dip his hand into his suit pocket and hand her phone. Her eyes widened at the sight of it as she slowly collected it from him.

"How...did...you.." Emily stuttered looking at the phone as she turned the power button on. "No, I can't accept this."

When the power button came on, she realized it wasn't her phone but a replica of her phone which only meant that this was a new phone and from the way she was looking at it this was the original one.

The one she had bought was from the black market, it was cheaper and all it could do was call and text but she took it like that.

To people at work she was using the latest phone but to her she knew it wasn't the original.

"It's just a phone Emily," Leonard smirked at her leaning right back into his seat, his men were unable to retrieve her phone sooner and when they did he wondered why this woman would be using some black market phone.

He wanted to get her something more expensive but this was okay for now.

"Then I owe you, I will pay you once I resume my job and get my paycheck."

"Really," Leonard smirked. He knew she couldn't avoid to pay him back right now not with what was going on with her dad and why the hell would he collect money from a woman for a phone that he could buy a million of, if it was a man, maybe, but a woman, never.

"I can't just..."

"Then take me out to dinner tonight," Leonard interrupted. He didn't understand her refusal and it was starting to give him an headache . A lot of women were always excited when he got things for them and they would demand more without him asking but this woman, why was she built like this.

A stubborn goat!

Emily really appreciated the gift but she knew how things worked when a man started buying things for a woman , they always had something more to it that they wanted and she could only wonder what the hell Leonard wanted from her.

She still didn't understand why he had kissed her or why he had decided to stay back here and watch over her even when she had requested that he shouldn't worry about her but she was grateful he was here and that he had gotten all those things for her.

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!

Emily stared at the door but Leonard didn't , he knew who was at the door as his driver had informed him that Emily's sister had just stepped into the building through the earbud in his ear.

He could have left immediately but he decided to stay back and now that he had requested they go out for dinner, it meant they did go out soon.

"Emily," Chloe shouted from outside as Leonard watched Emily stand up slowly from the bed, she looked lean. Wasn't she eating well?

He watched her open the door for her sister.

Chloe stared at Emily and was glad she was here, at least now her mother could stop panicking. She brought out her phone and dialed her mother's number immediately.

"Are you there already?"

"Yes and..."

"Is Emily there?" Her mother interrupted.

"Emily is here so you can calm down and she looks like shit," Chloe responded looking at Emily from head to toe. She really looked like shit, her hair was a mess and her eyes looked puffy.

"Give her the phone, I need to talk to her." Rose asked happily.

"Gladly," She handed the phone to Emily and stepped inside as her eyes stared at a man sitting down.

She stared around and then back at the man.

Who was this man?
