"I always eavesdrop." Chloe retorted with a cheerful smile, "Especially in a bar, it's one of the best places. You never know what you might find out." There was no smokescreen with the young woman, what you saw, was what you got. You didn't like it? Move on. It was no skin off her nose. Besides, she was the daughter of a Lawyer. He'd drummed into her from a young age that you should listen to everything, because you never knew when you might need it. The blonde turned to face the mystery man.

On closer inspection, it confirmed her suspicion that he was in fact, rather attractive. That said, she wasn't exactly sure what it was about him. It was terribly hard to pinpoint it. The eyes? It could well have been. Either way, she found herself to be increasingly intrigued by him. Dangerous indeed.

The Australian chap huffed back and slid her pastry across the marble worktop with a huff. Apparently, she was now no longer interesting to him. It was tempting to laugh, but Chloe bit her bottom lip. 

"Thank you." She smiled sweetly, handing over her money, before flicking her focus back to Hadley with a delightful smirk. "I think you're right about the pride thing.."

Was she a jackass? When she wanted to be, but who wasn't? For the most part, she was relaxed and interested. Everything stirred curiosity within her. History, literature.. New people.. Everything. It was that zest for life that allowed her to be so blunt and to the point. Life was too short to waste trying to please people. Of course she was sweet. But she didn't pander to whims.
