Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

For the first week, Chleo did her job easily. Chleo was also getting closer to her colleagues in this department. Alexis contacted her via voice call just yesterday afternoon.

Chleo was very happy to receive the young man's call, and she excitedly shared about her experience at her work in this company.

Alexis congratulated her, and the two of them chatted like friends. Only this time, Chleo held back a bit and didn't act as intimate as before. She knew that once Alexis returned to America, she would reject the young man's feelings. That's why she started to keep her distance a little.

She didn't want to give hope to Alexis. At the same time, she didn't want to ruin their current bond. After all, Alexis still has a place in her heart. To her, Alexis was an older brother she could never have.

Is she selfish? Perhaps, but she didn't care. She was used to getting whatever she wanted. Her parents and uncles would make sure Chleo got whatever she wanted.

It was her two uncles who would make sure she got whatever she wanted. As for her father… sometimes Vincent would forbid and not give everything to Chleo. Only Vincent could bear to see her cry if her wishes were not fulfilled.

She was grateful to have a doting yet a strict father. Everything her father and mother did was for her sake. They desired to pamper Chleo while not wanting their daughter to grow up to be a spoiled and wild child. They didn't wish Chleo to have a typical rich kid's arrogant, cocky, or other bad qualities.

And they did. Chleo wasn't arrogant, and she wasn't wild either. Although occasionally she would act mischief get a serious headache to her father, her indulgence was still within reasonable limits.

Surprisingly, Chleo instead enjoyed life as an ordinary person. That's why she wanted to enjoy her 'normal' life while studying in Seattle.

This made Vincent had a migraine and it took him a long time to let go of his precious daughter.

Chleo giggled at the look on her father's face when he drove her to the airport two years ago to attend college in Seattle. Her father was really weird. He wanted his daughter to be independent but instead seemed unwilling to let her go when Chleo decided to be independent.

Vincent wouldn't even let her work part-time in Seattle during college. Her father was indeed 'extraordinary' to the point Chleo couldn't understand her father's thinking at all.

At least, she could live as Chleo West for three years. She didn't have to attend friends who were only interested in her background. She could focus on her studies and graduate without a hitch.

Chleo was also grateful that it went pretty well during the week she worked at Dietrich's fashion company. Well, until this moment, Mrs. Montgomery still made her the errand girl and forbade her to interfere in design matters.

But Chleo was quite amused by the jokes that Jay sometimes made. Mikey and others also encouraged her to make her less inferior. But her greatest consolation was when Maximillian visited her occasionally during her breaks.

For some reason, when she saw the young man's face, her disappointment disappeared instantly. As soon as she saw the man's smile, her heart became light and happy again.

However, something was bothering her. She wondered what Max's occupation was and the young man's age.

Therefore she decided to ask the young man.

"Max, do you mind if I ask you something personal?"

"For example?"

"Like your age or your job and also… do you have a girlfriend. Something like that." Chleo's face immediately felt warm as soon as the last question left her mouth.

Chleo didn't expect her tongue would ask this kind of question. She blamed her unbridled tongue while feeling grateful.

It seemed that the question that made her curious to death was indeed this last question.

"I do not mind. You can ask me as long as I can ask you too."

"Of course," Chleo's face beamed in delight, and her joy influenced the other person. "Who started first?"

"You can start first."

"Okay. Uhm… do you have any siblings… besides Fye?"

"I am an only child. But if a foster sibling likes Fye… I can't count them."

Ha? Why did Max answer her question as if the man had many adopted siblings? Although confused by the man's ambiguous answer, Chleo didn't ask further because now it was Max's turn to ask.

"Now it's my turn. Is your hair always black like this?"

Chleo was a bit confused by this question. Is it weird that her hair color is black? Wasn't that young man's hair also black like her?

"Yes. My hair has been black like this since I was born."

Max just smiled at that. Chleo did not understand the meaning of the sad look in the young man's eyes when she answered him.

Why does Max feel sad when she was born with black hair?

"How old are you?" Chleo didn't let Max be saddened any further and immediately launched the next question

"What do you think? How old am I now?"

"Ah? Uhm..." Chleo didn't expect her to be asked to guess the young man's age. "Twenty-five? Twenty-six? My final decision is twenty-six."

Once again, Max smiled so charmingly that Chleo's heart started beating wildly again.

"I'm wrong?"

"My ID card says I was born in 2010."

Chleo's pair of brown eyes widened, hearing this.

2010?! That means this person was 11 years ahead of her!

Good heaven! She had fallen in love with someone 11 years older than her?

"Hahaha…" Chleo laughed nervously. "I didn't think you were that far above me. I thought you were only two years above me."

Max chuckled at the last sentence. "If you think I'm only two years above you, why do you guess I'm 26?"

"That's because… Dietrich is respectful towards you. So I think you must be over Dietrich's age. That's why I'm only guessing about 25 or 26. But I had no idea that you were already 31 years old."

'I'll be a century old in a few years.' continued Max in his heart.

"Could it be that you feel I am too old for you?"

"Ha? No! Of course not! I don't think so. I don't mind being with you at all. Oh, I didn't mean that. I mean... uhm, I mean…."

Max smiled, amused at the confusion of the beautiful girl in front of him. She's so adorable and charming whenever she got flustered.

And so… they got to know each other more by asking each other questions.
