Hope you enjoy this!
Sorry for grammar mistakes (I know this chapter has some) ...
I knew I had to go talk to Klaus, so I took some comfortable jeans and a white and simple shirt. Today I wasn't eager to dress me well, but not to be so bad, I traded my tennis for a stilettos.
When I left the apartment, I was prepared to call a cab. But I saw a newsstand across the street, so I decided to assess the damage that the article could cause. With the magazine in my hand, I sat for five minutes in a coffee shop reading the article I suspected who was the informant that spoke to Nolan, but I needed to be sure.
Okay. I have a plan. I grabbed my phone and called to Klaus. First I had to talk to him. I needed to explain that I had nothing to do with the article. He didn't answer any of my four calls. So I decided to leave a message and said please call me as soon as possible.
Second part of the plan. Call Nolan. Fortunately, he answered the first call.
'Caroline. It is a pleasure to receive a call from you, first thing in the morning. Probably you want to talk about the magnificent article about your boyfriend'.
'Nolan. I'm sorry but for me it is not a pleasure to call you. And Yes. I want to know who is your informant. It is impossible for you to know that all information without a source'.
'Of course I had an source. But I can't tell you who is. You understand that there is a code of ethics, right?'.
'Of course I understand' I said with sarcasm 'But you also know the code between co-workers, right?'.
'Oh, of course, my dear. What I can say is that the informer will give me even more information about your boyfriend. Probably the next magazine will have another article about it'.
'Nolan'. I said very seriously. 'Klaus is not my boyfriend'. I don't know why I had to say this, but I decided to continue. 'But I really need to know who the informant'.
'Okay. Let's make a deal'. I began to feel a bad feeling about this. 'Let's go out tonight. It'll open a new nightclub. Let's get a drink and I can tell you who is my informant'.
My feelings never had been wrong. I didn't want anything with Nolan, much less without talking with Klaus, but I had to know who was the source of Nolan. I couldn't let that more information be disclosed. So I went along.
'Let's just have a drink'.
'Alright'. I disconnected the call. I still have a bad feeling about all of this.
….
At the end of the day when I got home, I decided to make a sandwich when I heard the front door open. My heart stopped for a second until I heard light footsteps. Rebekah. I've been all day waiting for a call from Klaus, so, in my inside I wished it was him.
'Hey' Rebekah smiled at me when she entered in the room. 'So? Did you talk with Klaus?'
'No. I tried calling him but he didn't answer me'.
She snorted. 'Typical of Klaus. He's closing on his world. The dinner went well yesterday?'
'In addition to meet one, obviously, ex-girlfriend of Klaus, who seemed perfectly nice to drop the bomb deliberately about the death of your father, then yes'. I shrugged indifferently. 'It went well'.
Rebekah gasped, averting my eyes from mine. Anxiety clouded her light eyes, when she got up and walked gingerly to sit beside me. 'This is very personal for him. I wish I could explain it, but my father was always a problem for Klaus'.
I waved to her. 'It's okay. He told me everything'.
Rebekah joined her eyebrows. 'He told you everything?'.
He shouldn't? 'Yes'.
She stood there for a moment looking frozen in place and then her eyes have softened when she smiled at me. 'I told you so'.
Oh God, she was getting with romantic ideas in her head again. 'Stop!'.
'What?' her eyes grew with feigned innocence.
I made a face 'You know what'.
Before Rebekah could answer our front door opened and closed.
Heavy steps trod down the hall towards us.
'Oh shit' I muttered, ignoring the curious gaze of Rebekah.
The living room door opened and there he was in his suit, leaning against the doorjamb with a blank expression.
'Hey, Nik'. Rebekah greeted weakly, feeling the sudden danger in the air.
'Hey, Bekah'. He waved at her, and then he arrested me to the couch with his blue lethal look 'Room. Now' he turned and left me to follow him.
I kept my mouth open.
'You'd better follow him and explain all this confusion'.
Already feeling inexplicably guilty, my fault morphed into rage. How he dared to give me orders. I entered in the room, closing the door behind me, my chest bursting with indignation. 'You need to stop bossing me!' I pointed the finger at him. 'And so you know I had nothing to do with the article in the magazine. I didn't even know there was an source. Last night, I tried to stop Matt before he launched the news. I should be upset, I tried calling you today more than ten times and you never answered'.
The blank expression he was using was quickly replaced by disgust. He was upset. 'I know it wasn't you. I've been all day with my mother, I needed to talk to her and explain everything that came out in the magazine'.
I crossed my arms over my chest, a measure of protection, while shook my head and I refused to meet his gaze. 'I'm so sorry that this is happening to you and your family. I'll try to find out who is the informant. Today I'm going out with Nolan for him to tell me who it is'.
'You're going out with Nolan?' Klaus asked eerily quiet.
'Yes. It was the condition that he gave to tell me who is the informant'.
'I thought you were more mature than that, Caroline. I guess I was wrong. You do realize that he just wants to jump on you, right?'.
'Oh don't come with this conversation. This is the only chance to find out who did this to you. Nolan told me he will have even more information about you'. I replied annoyed. 'I don't need to explain, because we're not lovers. We have an agreement that involves sex, that's all.' A flash of something in his eyes, I felt my stomach drop. The look is gone fast when he appeared and his features hardened against me.
'All right. Go to your date with Nolan. Forget what I said. But...' his voice resounding sounded dry, empty, and with all the distance that was directed at me. I don't like it. 'I want to know where is the club, I want to be there.'
I shook my head dizzy. 'Okay.' This wasn't going to be okay. 'I'll send you a text message with the address of the Club'. He came close to me and I waited for his next move. He never even looked at me. Just grabbed the doorknob and walked past me.
He didn't give me a kiss goodbye.
I felt bad. Now, who was complicate things?
