Hyson was planning on going home but Cloe dragged him with her. Her argument was, "There is still for dinner. And you're so close to my place. Let's just have a drink. Then you can go. This is the least you can do for your biggest fan."
Seeing how Cloe really wanted to drag him home, he just went along with her. It didn't hurt. After all, it was true that her apartment was only five minutes from there. And there were still two hours before dinner so he could stop by her place for a while.
"Come in," said Cloe as she opened the door and stepped inside.
Hyson nodded and followed her in, "Sorry for intruding then."
"Why are you being so polite?"
"I am very polite, did you just notice?"
Cloe had nothing to say to that. It was hard to comment regarding this. He was in fact really polite. Just like Raelle was. He would never do something to cross his limits. It was only his words that would get a bit harsh for the listener.
"Just make yourself at home," said Cloe. "And tell me what would you like to drink?"
"You don't have to get busy," said Hyson. "I had a Latté earlier."
"That was a while ago," replied Cloe before she entered the kitchen.
"I don't think you usually cook at home."
"No," responded Cloe. "I only do it once in a while when I'm feeling like it." She was preparing tea when she noticed how he just sat there in the living room. "Why don't you just look around?"
"I should not be looking around," said Hyson. "This is a home of a single lady. It'd be very impolite of me to wander around."
Cloe chuckled at him and brought out the tea for him. She also took out the cheesecake she bought earlier. She sat down with him and picked up a cup of tea for herself and also the slice of the cake.
Hyson's eyes fell on the albums she had displayed in the cabinet and looked at her, "You really know how to spend money. If you had told me, I'd have gotten those albums for you. Signed copies."
"I had to buy," said Cloe. "If I choose to support someone, I do everything in my power. And this was just spending money. I believe I earn enough to spare the money for these albums."
"I can't argue with that. My best friend sure pays you well."
"And in the end, you're still taking your best friend's side."
"That can't change," responded Hyson.
"I already understood that," said Cloe. "By the way, if I was you I wouldn't want to join the same production crew again. I really don't like that director."
"My like or dislike is not important," stated Hyson. "What's important is that I've already given my word to Sora when I accepted this movie. Going back on my words is not my thing."
"You're too honest with people around you," sighed Cloe. "Don't you think that's dangerous?"
"Perhaps," replied Hyson and shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, I have another reason for joining the crew." Cloe looked at him waiting to hear his answer. "I want to understand the character I'm about to play. I want to know what kind of love can be the driving force for someone to become the bad guy? And I also want to understand, is it really worth it to end your life as a villain at the hands of someone whom you loved with all your life and who actually pushed you on the path of the villain?"
Cloe tsked, "I don't know about that. But I can assure you, love can make people do the craziest of things in life with a smile on their face."
"But why does love have that power?" he questioned.
"It's us who has given that much power to love to control us and our emotions," replied Cloe. "Love is like a storm. Some people pass through it and some get stuck for good. However, whether you escape it or not, you'll always be the one ending up with wounds."
Hyson smiled at her, "Sounds reasonable." He took a bite of the cake and commented, "By the way, this bakery's reputation isn't just for show. This is really good."
"Right?" asked Cloe. "I've been thinking the same. It's a good thing I listened to my assistant and decided to pay a visit. Next time, I'll try something new." She looked at Hyson and suggested, "How about you stay for dinner? I'll cook something myself."
Hyson waved his hand, "No way. I have promised to have dinner with Yanyan and Mum. I have to go back before dinner at any cost."
Cloe sighed at that, "What a shame. I have to eat alone again."
"Poor you!" remarked Hyson.
"You don't sound very sincere," Cloe pointed out.
"I wasn't being sincere," retorted Hyson. "After all, even after having a boyfriend if you're eating alone then that's your own choice. No one forced you to do it."
"Do you eat alone?" asked Cloe.
"Not if I don't have another option," replied Hyson. "Even if I have to make someone sit with me, I'll do it. But I rarely have to eat alone."
"Lucky," said Cloe sourly. "I've been eating alone for years now."
"And you're still not used to it?" questioned Hyson. "That only means one thing, you don't want to accept this loneliness, in the end. You want someone to be there with you. Just accept it. It'll make it easier for your relationship to develop."
"For someone who had never been in a relationship, you sure have a lot to say about it," said Cloe.
"Somethings you understand without having to try it out yourself," rebutted Hyson. "But I'm just saying it for your own good. When you are wholeheartedly prepared for something, you don't find excuses. If you wanted to get used to eating alone, it'd have happened long ago.. Since it didn't, it means you never wanted to be alone in the first place."
