'No matter what I'm doing. I am still disgusting for you, huh? You're truly a woman who can't be satisfied. Maybe my big brother is right about that….'

Vernon wanted to ask Chloe about his relationship with Vincent. But he had lost his will, 'I will ask her later when she can look at me in the eyes...'

Chloe felt Vernon squeeze their bodies even tighter than before, but he said nothing for a while. Chloe felt Vernon's hand trailing from her chin, going down to her neck. She was scared that Vernon might have choked her to death after this.

But he did nothing. He released his hands from Chloe and turned around, "You can open your eyes now and leave. You don't need to stay in the office today. I will tell Diamond to bring the lunch box to our apartment."

Chloe opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Vernon's wide shoulder and his back. Chloe stared at Vernon's back for a while. She knew it might be a little unbelievable, but when she saw Vernon's figure from behind, the only word she could use to describe him was… lonely.

'How… how could a powerful young man with a bright future and thousands of high-class ladies lining up for him… look so lonely?' Chloe wondered.

Her instinct told her to approach Vernon and hug him from behind. She once told Vernon that she would never leave him. Even if his parents didn't want him, she would be the one who took care of Vernon.

But he was the one who left without a trace, not her.

Then, when he returned, everything changed. There was no more adorable Little Prince and no more bubbly, bright Big sister. Both of them changed for the better… or worse.

Chloe wanted to hug Vernon from behind and pacify him, telling him after ten years that she was still here and would never leave Vernon alone. But her fear took over her body. Chloe decided to grab her phone that she dropped when Vernon approached her and left the room, escaping as quickly as possible for the sake of her life.

Vernon watched until Chloe left him alone. He felt pain in his chest, so much pain that he wanted to cry, "You said you'd never leave me alone, Big sister. You're a dirty liar…."

Vernon clenched his fist as he was holding the pain in his heart. He wiped the tears that were pooling in his eyes. He wanted to be angry, as always.

The rage in his heart fueled his desire for revenge, but when he wanted to curse at her, he remembered how Chloe scolded him and called him Tomato boy whenever he was about to get angry, deflating his anger instantly.

So, there was an excruciating feeling in his heart that couldn't be healed. He wanted to unleash all his rage at her but could not because he also couldn't bear to see her getting hurt.

Vernon gritted his teeth and slammed the table, "No, you can't be like this, Vernon Phoenix Gray. Don't let her creep inside your heart again. She is not worth it and will never be."

​ "Nobody is worth your time. It will stay that way forever," Vernon said to himself. It was more like a chant he often used to ensure that nobody would see through his ice-cold heart.

Chloe closed the door and was greeted by Diamond, who looked at her with worried eyes. It was like a Deja Vu since they were in this exact same situation not long ago.

"Chloe, are you okay?" Diamond asked anxiously. "What were you babbling about anyway?"

"I... I am okay. I was just talking to myself. Vernon's habit of breaking things when he is angered has always been a problem since he was a kid. So I scolded the kid version of Vernon in my head. I just didn't know that I'd get caught red-handed by him…."

"But he didn't do anything to you, right? Oh God, I won't be able to forgive myself if he hit you or something—"

"No, I'm okay. I was just… shaken…." Chloe replied. "I thought he'd hurt me. But he didn't. He just let me go and told me not to stay in the office today. He wants me to return to the apartment."

"Then, what are you waiting for? Go now! I don't want him to explode again!" Diamond said anxiously.

"Y—You're right. I can't stay here for too long. I don't want him to destroy things again," Chloe grabbed her bag and told Diamond; "Don't forget to bring the lunch box to the apartment. Vernon said that you will be the one who carries it."

Diamond nodded, and thus, Chloe entered the elevator and descended to the first floor.

She sat in her car for a while, staring emptily as she tried to calm herself first. She kept thinking about Vernon and that her instinct told her Vernon was very lonely.

"Why would I think of that? Vernon is obviously living the best of his life right now. He is literally untouchable on top of the ladder. Probably his only competitor is his own Big brother, Vincent…."

"But why do I feel that he is very lonely? Is it because of that woman in Vernon's heart?" Chloe asked herself. "What kind of irreparable damage did she to him? How could she be so vile, hurting Vernon until he turned like this…."

"I want to help him. After all, I'm the one who took care of him when he was young."

"But how? How am I supposed to help him when he found me disgusting?"

Chloe dwelled on this idea of helping Vernon for a while, "First, I need to know the identity of this woman. She must be someone in Europe because as much as I remember, Vernon had never shown any interest to anyone— man or woman— when he was still living in the Gray mansion back then."
