Chapter 314 This is Andrew (Part 2)
Chloe never thought she'd bump into Andrew so soon.
And in such a weird situation, too.
The next day, Chloe was grabbing coffee with someone.
The café had a killer vibe.
Across from her sat her bestie, Penelope Jones, who asked, "You good now? That dude's trash, not worth popping three sleeping pills over!"
Chloe sighed, "I had no clue he had been with Charlotte. Total scumbag. Just thinking about how he played Charlotte for years makes me wanna punch him!"
She sniffled. "Thank God Charlotte didn't get hurt!"
Penelope rolled her eyes, exasperated.
The two girls were deep in convo, not noticing a few fancy-dressed folks sitting a couple of tables away. It was Andrew and Nathan, with a few others tagging along.
Nathan noticed first. He whispered, "Mr. Devereux, it's Miss Hawkins."
Andrew sipped his coffee, chill as ever.
He'd spotted them early on and caught their chat. Thought she was kinda naive!
Andrew was always busy and never short on female company.
He had zero plans to deal with her and started to get up. His crew got up nervously too.
"Chloe!"
A guy suddenly showed up and gently grabbed Chloe's wrist.
It was Ethan.
After his cheating got exposed, Chloe wouldn't answer his calls or hear him out.
Now, he finally saw her.
Chloe yanked her hand away, her face scrunching up. "You're hurting me!"
Ethan wanted to patch things up.
The side chick was fun and sweet, but that was just a fling. Chloe had a solid background and was pure. She was wifey material.
He softened his tone. "Let's talk this out!"
Penelope couldn't hold back. "What's there to talk about, Ethan? You cheated, right? Now that it's out, you think Chloe's gonna put up with you?"
Andrew was about to leave but sat back down, finding it pretty entertaining. He said to Nathan, "Look at these young folks!"
Nathan, always the suck-up, said, "You're just in your early forties; you're also young!"
Andrew chuckled.
Right then, things got a bit heated, and there was a minor scuffle.
Chloe was fine, but her bag on the chair spilled its guts all over the floor—seven lipsticks, some cute trinkets, a super cute little lamb, and a tiny baby bottle.
For a sec, the vibe was super awkward.
Andrew was surprised.
He knew Chloe was two years older than Charlotte, but why was she carrying a baby bottle and little toys?
Was she still a baby at heart?
Nathan saw the usually stoic Andrew crack a faint smile. Not exactly happy, but definitely amused.
Chloe's eyes were misty. She felt super embarrassed, biting her lip. "Ethan, we're done. Engagement's off!"
Ethan was about to say something.
Andrew cut in, "Help her pick up her stuff!"
Nathan grinned and kindly helped gather the items, even zipped up the bag and put it back in its place.
Chloe stared blankly at Andrew.
Penelope was floored. Who was this guy? He had this commanding presence, totally different vibe from everyone else.
He seemed gentle, but there was this heavy aura around him.
After what felt like forever, Chloe finally managed to say, "Andrew!"
Andrew was chilling with his crew. He hadn't planned on getting up, but when she called him Andrew, for some reason, he stood up, walked over to her. She tilted her head up a bit, her bright eyes all misty as she looked at him!
Andrew had this urge to pat her head but held back and just asked, "You okay?"
Chloe made a small sound in her throat, still staring at him like he was a unicorn.
Penelope was about to pass out. This guy was super hot, but Chloe, could you play it a bit cooler?
But Andrew didn't mind. He hadn't seen such pure eyes in ages.
She was pretty tall and had a killer figure.
As they locked eyes, Ethan couldn't take it anymore. He felt the heat from the guy in front of him. He snapped at Chloe, "Who is he? Chloe, didn't you take pills to off yourself over me?"
There was a smug tone in his voice.
Ethan was proud. In his relationship with Chloe, he always had the upper hand. He knew Chloe loved him deeply and was always compliant, so when his affair got out, he didn't think much of it.
He thought he could sweet-talk Chloe back after ditching the side chick.
He never imagined there'd be a day when Chloe would look at someone else with such adoration.
Yeah, it was adoration!
Andrew completely ignored Ethan. To him, Ethan was just another nobody.
He raised his hand lightly. "Please escort this gentleman out!"
Ethan was stunned.
In a flash, eight tall, burly bodyguards appeared, all with earpieces, looking super professional. The leader politely but firmly said, "Mr. Devereux asks you to leave!"
Ethan couldn't quite place Andrew, but looking at him, he felt a sense of familiarity.
He was smart enough to pat his suit and say to Chloe, "We'll talk another day!"
Chloe turned her head away. She'd never talk to him again. What was there to talk about? She'd decided to move on.
But her eyes were still red.
After all, she had liked him.
Andrew saw Chloe's red eyes, smiled, and was about to leave.
His sleeve got tugged.
Chloe looked at him and said, "Andrew, I need to tell you something. Can I treat you to dinner?"
Andrew frowned slightly. He actually didn't have time; he had to meet some people later.
But he'd been lonely for a long time, and the girl pleading with him was so cute, he didn't refuse and said, "Let's go!"
He said that and walked out of the café.
A dozen attendants and bodyguards followed him in a grand manner, and he, dressed in casual clothes, looked relaxed but was clearly a big deal.
Chloe grabbed her bag and followed.
Penelope pulled her back. "Are you nuts? How dare you mess with a guy like that?"
Chloe licked her lips. "He's Charlotte's uncle! The Mr. Devereux from Copenhegan. He is Andrew who's always in the news."
Then she ran off.
Penelope was stunned. 'He is Andrew, the big shot in Copenhagen who controls the most advanced tech in the country!'
