Nathan didn't know what to say to Chloe, he wasn't as angry as he felt earlier.
Chloe. Breaking the silence... 'I'm sorry but it is what you think it is Nate, you won't meet someone new and start a fresh a relationship plus you obviously aren't doing anything to get back the girl you're so crazy about. So I'm sorry for trying to intervene.'
Nathan. Let out a small laugh. 'If only you know how much I'm trying sis... she just won't bulge...'
Chloe. 'Tell me, what happened? word for word Nate don't leave anything out!!!'
Nathan told Chloe the whole story without leaving out any detail. Chloe felt satisfied hearing the full story and decided to take action... First she needed a plan...
Nathan. Absent mindedly... 'the only way is to seduce her Chloe...I won't let her go.'
Chloe. Smiling... 'I'll make that happen bro, this is my new project. I got you.' Paused 'I need to go now Nate, let's talk later. Don't forget to talk to Drey about Zane spending time with mom.'
Nathan. Let out a long breath... 'I did forget sis, thanks for reminding me.
Chloe. Hesitated... 'on the contrary, don't worry about it Nate, I'll talk to Drey'
Nathan. Seriously 'NO!!! Chloe please don't!!!'
Chloe. Smiling 'what's this to you? You'll obviously fuck this up too if I let you!!!' She turns and leaves.
Nathan. Trying to stop her. 'NO really... Chloe...' paused 'damn it!!!.' He wanted to go after Chloe to at least try to stop her when he noticed his office phone ringing.
Nathan. Feeling frustrated 'WHAT???'
Judith. Mr. Zimmer is here for you sir...
Nate. Looks at the time 'shit!!! Let him in, thanks Judith.'

Audrey couldn't quite wrap her head around what just happened... she wondered why she was feeling all emotional and concerned, for christ sake, she was glad that she could use Charlie as a cover up so Nate won't want to get close. Wait... could she still be in love with him?
Audrey. Laughed hard says to herself 'that's impossible, I know these feelings are nothing close to love.' Paused 'PITY!!! Yes... that's it and nothing else beca...'
Charlie. Smiling warmly 'There you are, I was beginning to plan and mobilise a search party.'
Audrey. Smiling back 'I'm sorry Charlie, I ran into a friend and we had lunch together.'
Charlie. Surprised 'I absolutely don't believe that... I don't believe you Audrey, you have a friend? Here?' Laughs...
Audrey. Turned her furrowed brow to a smile 'stop being sarcastic Charlie, it's not charming.' She walked towards her table.
Charlie. Trying compose himself and sound serious 'seriously Audrey, a friend? I'm finding it hard to believe, what's the name of this friend?'
Chloe. Cuts into the conversation... 'Chloe!!!' Paused 'the name of the friend is Chloe.' Turns to Audrey 'can I speak to you alone please? I promise it won't take long.'
Audrey. Surprised 'sure... erm... I'll be right back Charlie.'
Chloe. Reluctantly 'hi Charlie, it's nice to see to again... bye.' Walks away.
Charlie. 'Damn... I still can't believe I let Chloe go.' He bit his lower lip and went back to work.
