Chloe woke up the next morning at six AM still feeling heartbroken, she had cried herself to sleep thinking of what happened the previous night with Stacie. The redhead will admit that she hated Beca and was scared of her, she still is but that doesn't mean that her heart isn't feeling something for the short brunette. She grabbed her iPod from beside her bed and placed the headphones in her ear as she started to listen to some music in an attempt to calm her down. About half an hour later, Chloe sighed as she got up from her bed and went to take a shower so that she can go to the wine factory.

Making her way towards the dining room, she sighed internally when she saw Stacie already sitting waiting for Beca and her. "Good morning." She said with a fake smile as she sat in her usual chair.

"Morning Chlo!" The tall brunette replied happily. "How are you?"

Chloe nodded, "I'm good."

Elissa then entered the dining table with coffee and tea, she placed them on the table and excused herself, but before she could turn to walk away, Stacie spoke. "Elissa, where's Beca? She's late for breakfast."

"She's not here, she left about an hour ago, a cab came and took her," Elissa stated as she saw Chloe nod.

"Where did she go?" Stacie asked worriedly. "Did you do something Chloe?"

"W-What? Why would I do something? I just came from my room, Stacie!" The redhead snapped. "You know what,? I'm not hungry. I'm heading to the factory." She said as she got up and left the dining room leaving an angry Stacie all alone.

She got in the car and told Alex to drive, the redhead kept her gaze to the window, watching the scenery pass in front of her. She knew this is going to be hard, especially if Beca is insisting on working in the factory, she also knew that Stacie won't be happy about it so she was decided to tell Beca to leave the company and leave her alone for the sake of Stacie.

After about a twenty minute drive, Alex parked the car and informed the redhead that they have arrived. Time to be a bitch again. She thought as she sighed and made her way out of the car. She walked towards the entrance when she saw a man sitting beside the door, he stood up as soon as he saw her. "Can I help you?" He asked the redhead in annoyance.

"And who are you so you can ask me?" Chloe said raising her eyebrow.

"I need to know ma'am, or else I can't let you in. It's the rules."

Chloe crossed her arms over her chest. I really hate to do this, but I need to show everyone that I am not weak. "I'm the owner of this place, the one who is paying for your salary. So either you let me in or I will fire you."

The man's face fell, "I-I'm sorry, please don't fire me. I didn't know who you are."

"Take me to the manager's office. Now!" She demanded firmly. The man nodded and started to walk towards the manager's office. Entering the office, he looked at the redhead with nervousness.

"That's his office." He said pointing at the office. Chloe nodded and walked knocked on the door. When she heard a 'come in', she slowly opened the door and her eyes went wide at what she saw. Beca was there, talking with the manager. This is going to cause me problems. She thought as she sent a glare to Beca. "What are you doing here?" She asked in annoyance.

"Good morning Chloe," Beca said with a smile. "This is John, the manager here." She then looked at John. "Could you give us a moment please?"

When John nodded and left, Chloe spoke again. "Leave Beca, now."

Beca sighed, she was sick of Chloe's attitude and it was starting to get to her. One minute Chloe is that sweet, funny woman, and the second moment she is a woman who is very rude and annoying. "Look, Chloe, I can take anything you throw at me from rudeness and impoliteness, but this has got to stop." She said as she stood up and walking slowly towards Chloe. "I won't allow you to do that to me." She said through gritted teeth and balled her fists. "Do you understand me?!" She asked in anger as she brought her hand towards the redhead.

"Don't hit me!" Chloe said in a panic voice. "Please!" She added in a heartbeat as she pulled Beca's hand away.

And in that moment, Beca's eyes went wide. W-What the? She thought as she looked into Chloe's eyes and saw nothing but pain and panic. "How could you think that I would ever lay a hand on you, Chloe?" She asked softly. "Chloe."

Chloe panicked as she started to try to walk away But Beca held her closely. "Leave me, please Beca. Let me go."

"Chloe, answer me, please. Tell me how could you think I would ever lay a hand on you." She asked again softly.

"Why did you come here Beca? All I wanted was to be away from you." The redhead asked helplessly.

"Why do you want to be away from me?" Beca asked confused.

Because I am falling for you hard and my best friend has feelings for you. "Because I can't be near you Beca. Please."

John knocked on the door causing both women to look at him. "Excuse me but I think we need to get started with the tour for Ms. Chloe."

Beca looked at Chloe and sighed as she saw the redhead was still panicked. "Can we get a cup of coffee for Chloe before we start? What do you think Chloe?" She asked gently, she then smiled when she saw Chloe nod. "Come on, let's go sit and wait for the coffee."

After about half an hour, Beca, Chloe, and John were walking around the factory as the manager was showing Chloe where and how do they produce wine.

It was twelve PM back at the mansion, Elissa was feeding her son when Stacie entered the room. "Hey tough guy," She said with a smile. "Remember the test we did after you ate breakfast?" When she saw Jacob nod, she continued. "We are going to have to do it again."

"You're giving me an injection again?" He asked as he dropped his smile and looked at his mother with sad eyes,

"Didn't you tell me that it didn't hurt this morning?" Stacie asked playfully.

Jacob shrugged. "I was lying." He said with a giggle causing also the nurse and the maid to laugh.

"You are a strong dude, do you know why?" When the boy shook his head she continued. "Because you didn't let me know that you were in pain." She said with a wide smile. "Now all we have to do is teach mommy how to take your blood sugar."

Elissa's eyes went wide. "T-T-Teach who?"

"Teach mommy," Stacie said again glaring at the maid. "Elissa, I showed you today how to do it."

"B-But I can't."

"I can't always be here for you guys, you should learn how to do it," Stacie said firmly hoping that Elissa wouldn't cause trouble because of her hesitance.

Elissa sighed and nodded, suddenly the doorbell rang. The housemaid was about to stand up and go open the door but Stacie spoke. "Sit, feed your boy while I go check who is it." She said gently as she left the room. Thinking it was Beca who was at the door she grinned and sprinted to the front door.

As she opened the door, her eyes went wide when she saw Gina and Liza standing by the door. What are they doing here? She thought as she cleared her throat. "Come in." She said politely as she moved to allow the two women to enter.

"Where's my niece Beca?" Gina asked as she entered the living room.

"Beca's not here."

"When is she going to come back?" Liza asked the nurse.

"I don't know," Stacie asked shrugging.

"And where is Chloe?" Gina asked again.

"She has some work to attend to, as soon as she finishes she will come home."

Liza laughed bitterly. "She couldn't believe that Larry died so that she can go out."

"That's not nice Liza. Chloe went to work." Stacie said in anger, she never liked Gina and Liza.

"What work?" Gina asked confused.

"Her wine factory and the office." The tall nurse stated.

Liza frowned. "Since when does Chloe have a wine factory and an office?"

Gina followed her sister, obviously confused, they know that Chloe doesn't own anything. "Exactly. What the hell are you talking about?"

"The factory that she inherited from Larry." The tall nurse stated as a matter of faculty.

"Inherited what?! Do you hear this Liza?" She asked her sister and then turned to the tall brunette. "Dear, your friend didn't inherit anything from Larry but her clothes."

"W-What?" Stacie asked in shock. What are they talking about? Chloe told me that she inherited everything. Something is wrong here.

"Let's go see if Beca is at the factory. I can't believe Beca is letting that woman run our company." Gina said as she stood up followed by her sister and left.

Do I tell Chloe about this? Chloe was sure that the company and everything that Larry left was for her. Stacie thought still in shock.

Back at the office, the tour ended and John took Beca and Chloe to Larry's old office. The redhead shivered slightly at the thought of Larry, she shook her head and looked around.

"Ms. Chloe, this is the office of the CEO and it's now your office."

Chloe nodded. "This was Larry's office?"

"Yes, this was Larry's office and it was to Mr. Noah before that."

"Who's Noah?" Chloe asked confused.

Beca's head snapped towards John as they eyes met. Noah was Beca's father, but she didn't want Chloe to know that now so she decided to change the subject. "Do you like the office?" She asked the redhead.

The redhead shook her head. I can't stay in this office. "No," She then looked at John. "Take this office and give me your's."

"B-But it's not allowed."

"What do you mean it's not allowed? I don't want this office."

"It's no problem John, you guys can exchange offices," Beca said as she sent a nod towards John making him understand what she meant.

"And what about you Ms. Beca?" John asked with a nod of his own.

Beca shrugged. "I'll take the old engineer's office."

Chloe whipped her head towards the short brunette. "W-What are you talking about?"

The manager cleared his throat. "Mr. David, a former employee who used to work her left us and we asked for Beca's help just till we find someone else."

Chloe giggled. "And Beca is fit to take his position?"

"Of course, Ms. Beca is an engineer herself." This caused Chloe to turn her head towards the brunette. Is she an engineer? She asked herself as John spoke again. "She is fit to do David's job."

"You are an engineer?" Chloe asked in shock.

Playtime. Beca thought as she smirked and sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk, her back was facing Chloe as she spoke. "That's what they say." She said shrugging.

"Too bad. You can't take this job because you are busy." Chloe said with annoyance. She couldn't let Beca work here, Stacie will go crazy on her.

Beca hummed as she crossed her legs. "Nope, not at all. I'm not busy."

"But you are going to travel." Chloe tried for the second time.

"I also won't travel," She said as she shook her head.

"You don't have time." She said for the third time.

"I have all the time in the world." She said with a smirk, her phone then rang causing her to excuse herself, she frowned when she saw her aunt Gina was on the phone. She excused herself and went to answer it. Unbeknownst to her, the redhead was staring at her as she was walking around the office. What will Stacie do when she finds out Beca is working here? She'll think I asked for Beca. God! This is such a mess. She was brought out of her thoughts when Beca stood in front of her. "Are you okay?" The short brunette asked softly.

"Y-Y-Yeah." She replied nervously.

"I'm going to step out for a few minutes, my aunts are outside. Will you wait for me here with John? We can discuss more things if you wish." Beca suggested and when she saw Chloe nod, she smiled and left the office.

"You should meet Win, he is one of our best employees here. Would you like to meet him now?" John asked with a polite smile.

"No," Chloe stated bluntly as she took Beca's seat and sighed.

Beca walked to the reception to find her aunts waiting for her, "What a lovely surprise." She said with a smile.

"You have some explaining to do Beca," Gina said not bothering to greet her niece.

The short brunette nodded. "Follow me," She said as she entered John's office. As soon as she closed the door, she walked back to behind the desk and leaned on the chair. "What's wrong?"

"What's going on here Beca?" Gina asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"With what?" The short brunette asked back.

"Care to explain why Chloe thinks she owns this place since we all three know it's you who does?" Liza asked with a raised eyebrow.

"And would you care to explain why you didn't inform me that my uncle was married?" Beca shot back.

Liza's eyes went wide. "W-What?"

Beca nodded. "Yup, you tell me why you hid that my uncle was married and I'll tell you why Chloe is here."

"So you won't tell me why she's here?" Liza asked again.

"I can't tell you."

"She didn't trick you like she tricked Larry, did she?"

"Oh, so she tricked my uncle to marry her?"

Gina scoffed. "Her plan was backfired."

"What do you mean Chloe's plan backfired?"

Liza slapped her sister's arm. "Gina!" She hissed in attempt to shut her up. She then looked at Beca. "Nothing, now can you tell me why didn't you kick her out?"

"I told you Aunt L, you tell me and I'll tell you."

"Becs, is John married?" Gina asked with a smirk. Since neither of the aunts married, Gina always looked at men wanting to marry her. And being a man in his fifties, John seemed right.

"Gina!" Liza hissed again. "Stop it."

Beca laughed. "Aunt L, leave her be. She's still young."

"I want to marry someone sweety," Gina said whinging playfully. "Can you ask John if he's married?"

"I will see what I can do about it," Beca promised. She now knows how to make Gina say what she knows about Chloe and Larry.

"So do you promise me that I'll get married before you travel back to Canada?"

Beca laughed but then her face fell. Travel? I can't travel. I can't leave Chloe, I'm falling for her.

Beca and Chloe were in the car as Alex drove them towards the mansion. The short brunette was on her phone when she suddenly asked. "Can I invite you to lunch?"

"As if I declined you'll accept it?" Chloe asked rolling her eyes but smiled inwardly.

Beca shook her head with a smirk. "Nope."

"Then you can invite me to dinner."

They then informed Alex to take them to one of the good restaurants of new york. It took them about half an hour to reach along with ordering their food. Beca felt pretty bad that she raised her voice in the office. She sighed as she took a sip of her wine and looked at Chloe. "I apologize for raising my voice back at the office. But I kinda lost my nerves and it doesn't happen often." She said sincerely.

"What do you want from me Beca?" Chloe asked with a sigh.

Beca took a sip of her wine before responding. "This is the second time you asked me this question today."

"That means I really want to know the answer. Why did you come to the factory today?" The redhead responded.

Beca shrugged. Because I want to be near you at all times, and I am getting attached to you. "I wanted to make sure everything was alright, and no confusion was caused."

"So are you trying to convince me that you did it for my own sake?" Chloe asked not convinced.

The short brunette nodded. "Of course."

"Why do you care for my sake?"

"Because I care about the factory, it was for my family."

Still not convinced Chloe spoke. "The next time you decide to lie to me choose something better. Make me feel that you are doing an effort to lie to me so I wouldn't feel like you don't respect my cleverness." She then asked. "Are you really an engineer? Or was that a lie too?"

Beca nodded. "I am."

"Which major?" Chloe inquired.

"Agriculture engineering. But I don't like it. I was forced to study it."

"W-Why?"

"Because dad wanted me to take over the factory," Beca said shrugging.

The redhead nodded. "What did you want to study?"

Beca's eyes lit up. "I like to draw, all the drawings that are in the mansion, I drew them."

"All of them?!" Chloe asked in shock. "They are amazing." She said with a warm smile.

"Thank you," Beca said blushing slightly.

"And why were they at Larry's?" The widow asked confused.

"Because we used to live there," Beca said nervously as she came up with a lie. It was her house, of course, her drawings are going to be on the wall.

Noticing how Beca's eyes lit up at the mention of art and paint, the redhead asked again. "And you wanted to be a professional painter?"

Beca nodded. "Yes, but I couldn't deny my father's request. But I haven't painted in fourteen years."

"Since you divorced?" Chloe asked with hesitation.

Beca looked at Chloe and sighed. "Since I divorced." She said in a low voice. "You have a good memory so that you remember everything I told u." She then smiled. "I wanted to be a painter, and you wanted to be a doctor. I gave up my dream for my father, but what about you?"

"What about me?" The widow asked confused.

"Why did you give up your dream? To whom?" The short brunette asked and she could see how sad Chloe's eyes seemed.

A/N: We are learning new things each chapter. Hope you like this one! Tell me what you guys think Beca's Aunt meant about what she said to Stacie, are they keeping something from us? Hmm..
