Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

"You said I could choose the university I fancy."

"In New York, not in Washington. Besides, what did you get the scholarship for? I can pay for all your school fees up to college." remarked Vincent as he hated the idea that Chleo was planning to disguise herself as an ordinary kid. The girl couldn't possibly be an ordinary child from the moment she was born. "Why Seattle? There are also many universities with art majors here, right?"

"Come on, dad. You have promised to grant all my wishes every time I have a birthday."

"I did, but not this one."

"Please, please, pretty please. Hmm?" Chleo still hasn't given up on persuading her father. She even pressed her cheek against her father's face then rub it while sulking.

"Chleo, you are no longer a child, and this is an office, not a home." rebuked Vincent trying to remain firm but could not hide his witty tone.

"No matter until when, I'm still your baby girl," came the declaration from the girl with an adorable spoiled tone.

"That's true."

"So you will grant my wish?"

"No." was his short answer, shattering Chleo's high expectant. The father released himself from his daughter's arms. He tried to avoid his daughter's overly adorable puppy eyes because he knew he would melt too if he had to face his daughter's expression.

"Come on, daddy." Chleo followed her father and sat beside him as if she was the glue that sticks to her father. "Just this once. Only this time. I won't trick your bodyguards and run away in exchange. I promise."

Vincent snorted at his daughter's statement. "How many times have you said it, but you still tricked your guards and made them all panic about you."

There were almost countless times that Chleo had used her clever wits to trick her bodyguards so that she could move freely without them. After all, she was your average teenage girl. Every now and then, she didn't want her father to watch her movements, especially when she's having fun with her male friends.

Her father, Uncle Kinsey and Uncle Stanley always went overboard whenever they heard she hang out with boys. They would investigate the poor young lad's background and then give off an intimidating aura to not approach her.

At this rate, how could she meet her Ice Prince?

"This time, I promise, I won't do it again. But I don't want to have four bodyguards. After all, if I hide my true identity, people would never find out who I am. Two trusted aid are enough, right. Plus, Uncle Darrell also lives in Washington. He can also help you to watch over me there. Please? Please?" once again, Chleo put on her puppy face and cleverly negotiated with her father without forgetting to blink her eyes cutely.

Vincent avoided his daughter's gaze by concentrating on the documents that would be discussed at the shareholders' meeting soon. Chleo was still sulking until Vincent's secretary came in to tell him that the meeting was about to start.

Hearing this report made Chleo frown, even more, realizing she couldn't sway her father's decision.

"Philip, call Darrell. I want to talk to him about the college in Seattle and the security that will be provided for Chleo."

Chleo, who had been gloomy, was immediately excited to hear that. Her eyes sparkled with hope, and her heart felt like it was soaring.

"You agree?"

"Hhh… I think I spoiled you too much."

"Of course not. Daddy loves me too much. Muaccch." cheered Chleo while kissing her father's cheek as a form of her affection and thanks.

"So, when will the competition be held?"

"In two months. I will register under a different surname."

"So we can't come to support you at the race later?"

"Of course you can't. Everyone already knows your face, especially Diego. If you come, then it's useless for me to change my surname."

Vincent shook his head resignedly. "Okay, it's up to you. As long as you let the two bodyguards follow you without tricking, I'll let you there."

"I love you, daddy!" Chleo squealed with pleasure and once again kissed her father on the cheek as was her custom and then darted out of her father's study.

Overjoyed, she didn't notice the elevator she was in opened on a floor that wasn't her destination. As soon as she walked out, another person accidentally bumped into her, knocking his drink on the floor.

Chleo directly felt guilty and was about to get the glass of drink while apologizing. She didn't know that the person who bumped her also reflexively took his drink glass, making their hands touch each other.

Chleo's breath hitched when she felt the cold temperature on the person's hand.

Why is this guy's skin cold?

She remembered her Ice Prince's body temperature was also cold. And also…

'You'll know me by my temperature.'

Without thinking, Chleo grabbed the young man's hand to confirm it once more.

Cold. It is cold!

This person must be her Ice Prince!

Chleo instantly looked at the young man's face carefully. The young man was very handsome with golden blonde hair and... blue eyes! She didn't remember the color of the Ice Prince's hair, but she did remember the color of his eyes.

How could she forget her Ice prince's beautiful eyes, which had the same color as her brother?

"You're here! I've been waiting for you for so long." Her grip on the young man's hand tightened as if she was afraid this person would disappear from before her.

"Hm? Miss, I think you mistook me for someone else."

"No, I can't be wrong. You are my Ice Prince, right?"

"I... Ice prince?? I'm not…"

"I was looking forward to you!"

The young man didn't understand what Chleo was talking about. At first, he wanted to refute and clear up this misunderstanding.

But... when he saw the broad smile on Chleo's face, the girl's eyes shining like a beautiful galaxy... the young man was mesmerized. He had never met a girl so beautiful and pure... and it stole his breath!

Who is this girl? Why did he feel he had met this girl before?

He was sure he hadn't met her yet, but… his heart told him otherwise.
