Within a week, Chloe learned her job and had even managed to impress Kate
Roberts with her quick adaptation. Brady and Chloe had settled into a
pattern of riding to and from work together. having lunches and dinners
together, basically spending more time with each other than everyone else.
Their families were releived, but they also worried about the two of them
getting too close, too quick, but nobody said anything.
In another two weeks, Chloe would be graduating and within the next two months, she would be packing up and heading off to New York with Belle...and Phillip. Belle and Chloe had already decided they preferred to share an apartment rather than live in dorms, and The Blacks and the Wesley's were presently house hunting for the girls. Phillip was staying in the dorms, he wanted to be close to Cynthia. The two of them had been dating for almost two months now. What started out as a scheme to reunite Shawn and Belle, by getting Cynthia to betray Jan, ended as a healthy, successful dating relationship, much to the surprise of everyone.
"Hey gorgeous" Brady stepped out of the elevator to find Chloe already at her desk "already working?" he asked. Chloe nodded "yeah, I had to finish something up for Kate, she needed it by 9:00." Brady walked around to look at her computer screen "you're getting pretty good at this" he complimented. Chloe smiled at him "I had a good teacher" she replied lightly brushing his lips with hers. "Yeah, I suppose you did" Brady chuckled "Ok, I guess I have to get to work, huh?" he asked reluctantly. Chloe nodded "yes, your dad wants that report on his desk ASAP" she reminded him.
"You're a slave driver Ms. Lane" he growled in her ear, "but you're right dad is looking for this report." Chloe merely grinned at him "Go to work Brady" she commanded. "Yes, boss" he chuckled picking up his messages on the way to his office.
Brady paused at his door, just watching her. He remembered well the day Phillip discovered that she was working at Basic Black. flashback Phillip stepped out of the elevator and stopped in his tracks, at the receptionist desk, he saw Brady standing over Chloe, talking to her and pointing to something on the desk.
"What are you doing here?" he demanded "and with my girlfriend." Chloe stood up "I am not your girlfriend" she reminded him a hint of steel in her voice "and further more Brady is showing me how to work this program."
"not that it is any of your business" Brady broke in.
"You just couldn't wait until I was out of the picture, could you Brady" he scowled angrily at him. Chloe sighed a deep sigh and rolled her eyes "Phillip" she spoke evenly "can I help you?"
" Or do you have to be escorted off the property, because I can call security," Brady threatened. Phillip tossed his head arrogantly "I need to talk to my mom" he told them, his eyes bright with anger. "She is in her office" Chloe instructed "I think you know where it is."
Phillip nodded and stalked off muttering something under his breath. Brady glared after him "I wish he'd just fire Kate" he muttered angrily "then we'd be rid of both Phillip and his evil mother." end flashback
"Chloe, do you have that report for me?" Kate breezed in hurriedly. Chloe held up the folder "right here" she smiled "signed, sealed and delivered." Kate took the folder from her hand and lookedover it "thanks, Chloe" she turned and headed in the direction of her office. Kate walked a few steps before turning back to face Chloe "Ya know Chloe" she spoke "I had real doubts about your abilities, but I must say you're a natural." Chloe smiled "Thanks, Kate" she grinned "but I am going to Julliard in a few months."
Kate nodded "We'll miss you here" she said, a sad smile on her face. Chloe grinned "I think you'll get someone with more experience than I have" she replied. Kate looked thoughful "I'm sure too, but I hope you know John and I will miss having you around here." Chloe blushed slightly "Thanks, Kate" she smiled. After their brief exchange, Kate headed into her office.
"That's high praise coming from Kate Roberts" Brady spoke from his office. Chloe nodded "I know, but somewhere along the line, Kate and I came to an understanding." Brady closed the door to his office, "so ms. Lane," he stood above her "where are we going to lunch today?" he asked. Chloe thought for a moment "I want something good and greasy" she finally answered. Brady nodded "okay, Burger Barn it is, but right now I have to get this to dad" he held up the report John Black had been asking for the last two days.
Chloe grinned "he'll be happy to know you aren't just playing basketball in there all day" she chuckled. "Wench" he chuckled dropping a slight kiss on her lips as he passed "one day that mouth is going to get you in trouble."
"I can only hope" Chloe retorted. Brady shot her a wide grin before he entered his father's office. "Hey dad" he held up the report "here is the report you've been asking for." John motioned for his son to enter and close the door "Brady, come on in Son" he greeted "I need to talk to you about something."
