Hidden Horns

I guess she's right.

The event was over, people are starting to leave the place and staffs are wrapping all the props and things they used for the events such as lights, tables, chairs, and they dismantling the stage they used as runway.

Chloe still not moving, she was so shock that she heard everything and she witnessed every single things that happened. She couldn't will her body to move, even her orbs, just looking ahead of her while Yohan staring at her intently.

"Chloe! Wanna go with us to the party?" The gay producer asked as he approached Asmo and clings onto his arm with flirty intentions. "You're coming, right?"

"If Chloe did, then I will."

"She's not coming, she have to go home—."

"I'll go, wait for me, I'll get change." Chloe suddenly butts in and run towards the changing room without even sparing them a single glance.

"Well I guess, that's settled. Let's see each other at the PUB, by the way Ivy, Charlene said that she headed home first because she's not feeling well." The producer said and he waved his hand at us and joined to the other models.

"Jess better let Molly sleep early." Agma said to herself.

Asmo looked at Yohan, a cocky smirk tugging on the corner of his lips. "Don't worry, I'll take care of her." He said before he turn his heels.

"Now what?" Agma asked, her eyes follows Asmo's direction.

"I'll go with them, you should go home." Yohan replied and tapped her friend's shoulder.

"I'll go too, you will need my company trust me." Agma squeezed Yohan's shoulder as she strut her way out of the event place, leaving Yohan chuckling.

When everyone arrived at the bar where they wants to celebrate for finishing the biggest event of the year in modelling industry, they didn't waste a moment as everyone started drinking. Yohan and Agma stood on the far corner table, good spot to watch Chloe. The waiter put down a bucket of bottled beers in front of them and told them it's on the house because the CEO rented the whole place.

Chloe decided to enjoy the night and erased everything from her mind. She's scared but at the same time, she felt confused. Why was everyone froze except Yohan, Agma, Asmo, Nathalie and Ivy? Of course she had to act like she's frozen too or else she will get caught by Yohan.

Her hand flew to her neck to touch the necklace that her Dad gave to her when they visit her parents the day before the event. She rubbed the part where her skin burnt a little because of the necklace, it heated up when everyone was frozen.

Yohan noticed it from afar but couldn't see what was in Chloe's hand. She ignored it as she looked back to Agma who's been talking since they arrived at the pub.

"What's wrong?" Asmo asked when he noticed Chloe.

"Nothing."

"What's in your hand?"

"A necklace that my dad gave me." Chloe replied, taking a distance to the guy but she's at the dead end of the long couch and next to it was a black painted wall.

"May I see?"

"Hey, aren't you too close to Chloe?" Ivy butted in and pushed the guy away to sit in between. "I know that you're trying to befriend everyone here because you're new, but that's not how you approach a woman."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make her feel awkward." Asmo said shyly and retreated back.

"I'm telling you man." Another guy model wrapped his arm around Asmo. "If you're trying to get to Chloe, you have to line up." He added.

"What do you mean?" Asmo asked confusedly.

"Look." The guy jolt his head in front of them, when Asmo looked up, there are lot of men glaring at him for getting too close to Chloe.

It's no wonder that most of the guy model like Chloe, she's almost as perfect as a Goddess, so every eyes are on her, waiting for a chance to talk to her. And since Asmo gets too close to Chloe, they are more likely envious and jealous, especially Asmo is a new comer.

"Why don't we just enjoy the night, guys?" Ivy suggested as she put her glass in the air, asking for a toast.

"Yeah right." Chloe agreed, she copied Ivy as she steal a quick glance to Yohan, who's busy talking with another female models. She frowned but quickly recomposed herself when everyone on their table lifted their glass.

Yohan glanced at Chloe's table when she heard loud jeers, she's not ready interested at the women in front of her, trying to seduce her. Her attention is in Chloe, no one else but Chloe, but she keep the person in front of her not to notice her as she kept nodding her head, chuckling fakely and answering every questions at her.

The night grew more deeper and everyone in the pub began to be more wild due to intoxication, but Yohan maintained herself sober. Unlike Agma, who are now wasted and slurring her words while keep chugging the scotch.

"We should have these kind of alcohols at hell." Agma said, staring at the bottle she was holding. "This is so good."

"We can't." Yohan replied, eyes still pierced at Chloe, who's already wasted and dancing in the middle of the stage, surrounded by men, cheering for Chloe and Ivy, like they are the prey, and the men waiting for the women to let their guard down. "These motherfuckers." Yohan growled low on her throat.

"Do you like her too?" A woman asked and Yohan tried to remember her name, all she could remember is her name starts with Ash.

"Who?" Yohan asked, tearing her gaze from Chloe for the first time and shifted to the woman in front of her.

"Chloe."

"No, it's just my job to make sure she's safe." Yohan replied.

"Everyone like her, so I thought you're like them because your eyes telling me otherwise."

Yohan's eyebrows knitted in the middle, her focus is on the woman, even her body was turned to her. "I don't like Chloe just like what you think, I'm sorry that I made you wrong."

"That's great then, I don't hate her but I don't like her either."

"You better not say that in front of her bodyguards." Agma said while giggling to something they don't know the reason.

"Why? Are you going to assault me for not liking Chloe?" The woman asked mockingly.

"Maybe yes, maybe not." Agma replied, looking up to Yohan. "Asmo did something to those men. Don't you think?"

Yohan looked at the dance floor, where everyone became more wilder, and every women looked so scared now. It's as if, they are surrounded by hungry wolves and in any minute now, the men will jumped onto them and devour their bodies.

"He should know better." Yohan said as she leave their table and walked towards the dance floor, her eyes never leaves Chloe as she squeezed her way to the crowd.

Chloe was unaware to her surroundings, she's too wasted to notice what's going on, she kept dancing even if she's covered with sweats, trying to entertain herself to forget what she saw at the table on the corner of the bar. She may be drunk, but she's still in her composure to feel the hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to its front.

"I love the way you dance." Asmo whispered huskily to Chloe's ear.

"You better remove your hands off of me." Chloe said back.

"Why? Will anyone get angry if I do this?" Asmo gripped Chloe's waist more tightly then spinned her around, his hands moved down to Chloe's ass but just before he could touch it, someone grabbed his finger and bend it backwards, which caused him to yell agonizingly, then everyone moved back away from them. Chloe was too stunned to react, especially when Yohan spin around and pulled Asmo's arm in front of her before throwing the guy on the floor.

The crowd gasped and the men seems to snapped out from their crazy minds and they all looked at the scene in the middle of the stage, flabbergasted.

"I think I already made myself clear with my father." Yohan said as she leaned down to say that into Asmo's face. "Do not touch my prey, or else, I will forget that I am one of your kinds." She said, only audible for Asmo.

"Hey enough." Ivy intervened, pulling Yohan away from their new model. Then other male models help Asmo to stand, Yohan then turn to Chloe and grabbed her hand, that's when Chloe return to her senses.

"Let go of me!" Chloe scowled, trying to take back her hand from Yohan, but she knew better, that she's not going to win.

"We're going home." Yohan said firmly and she nod at Agma, telling her to follow them outside, Yohan had a glimpsed of the woman who's been with her all night but decided not to give her much attention as she continue her way out of the pub.

When they got out, Yohan finally let go Chloe, but she regretted it immediately when she received a stinging slap on her cheek.

"Ooh damn." Agma reacted and immediately back away, she decided to watch the upcoming fight five feet away from them.

"How dare you to—."

"To save you from that bastard?" Yohan cut her off, not even minding the cut on the corner of her lips due to the hard slap by Chloe. "It is my job to protect you especially with that kind of man."

"Protect me? From where? He just want to dance with me!" Chloe lied, but she's still thankful that Yohan arrived at the right moment, but for real, she couldn't understand herself to as to why she's hella mad at Yohan.

Is it because of what she witnessed earlier? Or is it because Yohan has been talking to different women all night.

"That's not what I saw." Yohan deadpanned.

"It's not my problem!" Chloe spit and she tried to go back but Yohan grabbed her hand once again. "Let me go or I'll fire you!"

"I got hired by your father and not you, so you can't fire me." Yohan said and pull Chloe back to her. "And if I may remind you, your father gave me the rights to do what I have to do just to make sure you're safe, so if I tell you that we have to go home, then we will." Her voice were full of authority and Chloe know that she better obey or see how a Yohan Ceyx gets mad, that she indeed, doesn't want to see after what she witnessed at the event. And also there are lot of cameras pointing at them so just to avoid any issues, she just surrendered, but it's not the end.

"Fine!" Chloe said in defeat and shrugged off Yohan's hand from her and she stomped her way towards the parking lot.

"I will bring Molly to the other house." Agma said grinning while they are both watching Chloe.

"You don't have to, she will go to her room to sleep."

"Na-uh, I can see smoke coming out from her nose and look t her, it's not yet done, so yeah. We'll sleep on our house next to Chloe's." Agma said and tapped Yohan's shoulder before running to the car.

"I guess she's right." Yohan said to herself, she looked back to the bar and saw Asmo, looking at her with a devilish grin tugs on the corner of his lips. Yohan do the same, she smiled, but more devilishly, the kind of smile telling Asmo that she's more better than him and he will never accomplish his mission as long as she's with Chloe.
