Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star
Chapter 58 - Ch. 58 His Name Is...
Chleo inherited the talents of both of her parents. Like Cathy, Chleo was very talented at dancing, even better than her mother. In this field, Chleo was a genius. In just one glance, she had memorized the order of a dancer's movements and was instantly able to imitate them.
Her brain was like a camera that recorded every movement of the dance when she saw someone dancing. No one could rival her in dancing, and every time there was a dance competition, either individually or in a group, Chleora always got first place.
Everyone thought Chleo would pursue her talent as a dancer and took a dance subject because Chleo often danced wherever she was ever since childhood. However, the girl proved them wrong.
It was only a few who knew Chleo was gifted at another field.
The girl also had a talent inherited from her father. Vincentius Regnz was famous as V's photographer, and no one didn't know who the legendary V was.
Vincent even had a studio gallery to showcase all his works. But occasionally, the visitors would see a stunning masterpiece painting.
After asking questions and interviewing the legendary photographer, only then did they know that Vincent could also paint.
The art looks real-like someone using an old camera where there was only black and white. And apparently, the man's talent passed down to his eldest daughter.
Just like Vincent, who can make real-life paintings, Chleo could also do it. Her talent began to show when she painted her baby brother, who was lively playing in the playground. At that time, Chleo was only twelve years old.
Whenever Chleo was alone or felt bored, she would grab her sketchbook and start drawing. Even the winter aconite bracelet was the design of her design.
The bracelet was her first design, the result of her hard work making a jewelry pattern. But now the bracelet just disappeared even though she had been very careful and took care of it.
When she was in despair, her mother comforted her and gave her a glimmer of hope. Her favorite bracelet might have fallen in her father's office. Maybe someone is kind enough to find it and would look for the owner. She genuinely wished there was such a kind-hearted person instead of selling her bracelet, which could fetch a hefty value. After all, there were two exceptional diamonds on her winter aconite bracelet.
She didn't want to put the diamonds at first, but those diamonds were a gift from her father. So she put it.
But again, she had to return to despair when none of the people working on the fifth floor knew about her bracelet. She was sure she had accidentally bumped into the person on the fifth floor. Maybe that's when the bracelet came off. She wished she could find any clues to finding her missing bracelet.
All of a sudden, someone called her while mentioning something she was looking for.
"Miss, is this what you are looking for?"
Without looking at the face of the voice owner, her eyes immediately sought the object that the person was pointing at. The design of the bracelet, the pendant in the shape of a winter aconite flower... that's her bracelet!
Chleo directly thanked the person, but her voice didn't come out when she saw the person's face.
Good grief! This person was the one she thought was the blue king yesterday.
Remembering her shameless act by holding a man's hand made her highly embarrassed. Chleo didn't know what to do at all. She somewhat wanted to grab the bracelet and run away immediately. But if she did, wouldn't it be a bit rude?
Never counter to people who have been kind to you with disrespect. That was the upbringing of her parents since she was little. In the end, Chleo still expressed her gratitude while hiding all her embarrassment and nervousness.
"Yes, it is. That is mine. Thank you for keeping it safe." Chleo was about to take the bracelet from the young man, but the person pulled his hand away as if he had no intention of giving the bracelet away. This made Chleo confused, and she looked at him questioningly.
Why won't this man return her bracelet?
"It seems that this bracelet means a lot to you. Since I've saved it for you, will I get anything in return?"
"Ah?"
Is there anyone who has no shame in asking for something in return just for finding a lost item? Well, maybe there is. But Chleo had never met such a person. Before that person asked for an award, Chleo herself immediately offered a reward when someone found her lost item.
She was an unhelped careless girl, after all.
Ugh! How stupid she is. How could she forget to reward the person who had found her bracelet? Moreover, the bracelet was precious.
"Oh, sorry. What reward do you want? As long as I can give it, I will grant it."
Chleo was taken aback when she saw a wide smile graced the young man. This young man was very handsome. Well, she does often meet handsome young men, especially her school friends. It's just that this young man... for some reason could give a very different impression when compared to her school friends.
"What a coincidence, soon my work hours are over. Will you wait for me in the lobby? After that, we can have dinner together."
"Dinner?" Chleo was getting more and more confused by him.
"That's right. I want you to treat me to a good meal tonight in exchange for this one." said the young man, then smiled mischievously before leaving Chleo, who was still standing rooted to her spot.
Did this guy hit on her and ask her out??
And again… why is that man still carrying her bracelet!?
Chleo shook her head in resignation. She wondered why the man asked for a treat even though, judging from the young man's clothes, the person was not lacking.
The problem is… she's just an ordinary high school kid. How can she have the cash to buy food? Well, most of the high school kids in New York have started working as part-timers. Some work in restaurants, others work as private tutors or food stall custodians.
So it's not surprising that a teenager of Chleo's age must have her savings. It's just... Chleo wasn't allowed to work by her father. She did have a card, but... she left it home... accidentally.
So now... she had no cash at the moment.
If you're wondering if she got pocket money from her father, yes, she had. But... she had already spent her allowance to play arcade games with her friends. And her father severely limited her pocket money because she often went to the arena with her friends... bodyguardless.
It seemed she had to ask her cousin for help. Chleo took out her phone and called someone.
"Abigail! It's me. Can you lend me some money?"
"Again? Are you treating your friends to arcade games again?"
"Hehehe. You got me."
"Hhhh... Alright. Where are you now?"
"I'm downstairs in the Flex lobby."
"Ha? That's so fast."
Chleo laughed at that before briefly explaining why she came to the office today. Luckily Abigail worked in her father's company, so she could ask her cousin for help.
After Abigail gave Chleo some cash and made small talk, Abi went straight up to her office floor to continue her work. Chleo waited for the young man, who was a novice at this place, patiently while playing games on her cellphone. Not long after, the person she was waiting for appeared to greet her.
Chleo immediately stood up and began to introduce herself.
"Since we'll be eating together soon, it doesn't feel good if we don't get to know each other. My name is Chleora. You?" this time, Chleora was able to act normal and not too embarrassed even though she remembered the embarrassing incident yesterday afternoon.
The young man chuckled, not expecting Chleo to be such a friendly girl.
"My name is Alexis. Alexis Peskhov."
The two shook hands with each other, and since then, they have become close friends. Chleo felt comfortable and very gregarious with Alexis, who turned out to be four years older.
Little did she know, Alexis has considered her more than just a friend.
Even so, Alexis didn't show it, knowing Chleo's distinctive identity. Chleo was Vincentius Regnz's only daughter, and Alexis himself was the successor of the Peskhov company in Russia. Currently, Alexis was not holding the family business because he was still in the learning stage.
If he confessed his feelings to Chleo in his current state, he felt unworthy. Therefore, Alexis waited until he made it to the top of Peskhov's company; only then would he woo the girl.
For now, Alexis became a good friend to Chleo while trying to win the girl's heart for four years. Alas, Chleo still thought of him as an ordinary friend.
