Chapter 118 On Vacation
After waiting a whole afternoon, Chloe finally returned to her company.
When she saw Ethan, she had a thrilling smile, and even the most vibrant flower would pale in comparison to it.
Ethan’s heart stirred. He had never seen her smile so radiantly before.
She immediately jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.
Shocked by her sudden happiness, Ethan was confused after snapping back to his senses. “Why are you acting different today?”
“What's different?” She raised her head, kissing his cheek deeply.
Ethan pointed to his mouth and said, “I can't pinpoint it, but shouldn't you be kissing here?”
Chloe blushed as she coquettishly asked, “Now that you're here, won’t you accompany me for some fun outside?”
“Of course! Wherever you want to go, I'll bring you.”
Ethan couldn't possibly refuse such a request, just like how he never refused Sharon before.
It was a pity that Sharon had the privilege of Ethan’s pampering, but she never cherished it till the end.
“Then go out and wait for me. I'll be out in a moment!” Chloe said, pushing the confused Ethan out of her office as she shut the door.
Ethan wondered if this girl was going to change her clothes in the office?
As she closed the door, Chloe's smile instantly faded. She entered her private resting room in the office, taking out her phone and dialing a number.
She straightforwardly said when the call connected, “Greg, I won't be going home tonight.”
“Miss, what are you planning to do? You know I can't agree to such a request! I already promised Madam!” Greg's voice immediately echoed through the call, leaving no room for negotiation.
“I know what you're worried about, but can’t you grant me this last wish? I won’t cross the line either, for his sake. It’d only harm him! I just want to spend these last two days with him and leave some memories for myself. Can’t I?” Chloe’s tone was fragile and sad, like a helpless little girl. Anyone who heard it would surely feel sympathetic.
“But...” Greg was obviously moved by her pleas, but he was still worried.
She pleaded again, “Don't worry. If you don't say anything, neither will I. He won’t know a thing; I just want to fulfill my last wish and then obediently return to Houston with you, without causing any more trouble!”
“Fine. I hope you know your limits and don't force me to personally intervene!” Greg said before ending the call.
On the other hand, Chloe's face finally revealed a hint of warmth. At least she’d have two more days to spend by his side. That was more than enough!
When Chloe reappeared in front of Ethan while wearing a white dress, he was visibly captivated.
“Why are you staring at me like that? What, have you never seen me before? Don't you recognize me?” Chloe had clearly taken great care of her appearance. She wanted to show him her most beautiful self. His unwavering gaze left her shy and, at the same time, quite happy.
“I've never seen such a beautiful fairy. Let me watch you a little longer. No, let me gaze at you for a lifetime!” Ethan grabbed her hands and earnestly requested.
“Hehe, of course! I'm beautiful, but I haven't had lunch yet. Will you accompany me for a meal?” She hooked her arm around Ethan's, unconsciously smiling.
Ethan was practically weak against her request. They both left the company and went straight to a high-end restaurant, then to an amusement park, followed by a crazy shopping spree. They didn't rest for a single moment throughout the entire afternoon and evening.
On the other hand, Chloe couldn't believe how Ethan was willingly pampering after just meeting her. She couldn't help but be moved by his sincerity.
She didn't buy anything for herself, but instead, she bought him a Cartier watch, as well as several sets of clothing from Givenchy and Versace. From casual to formal wear, she bought almost every style available, not stopping until he could barely carry everything in both hands.
“I’ve been wondering what’s the matter with you today. Why did you buy so many branded things for me? You know I usually dress very casually!” Ethan looked at the bags in his hands, laughing as he asked.
Chloe seriously explained, “I want you to always wear this watch and these clothes. I want you to think of me every day!”
“Even without them, I already think of you every day. Anyway, let's put the stuff in the car. I probably won’t be able to wear all these clothes within half a month, even with one outfit per day?” Ethan wryly smiled, returning to the parking lot remember.
“Where next? It's late, so should I just drop you off at home?” With everything in the car, Ethan asked Chloe again.
She pouted as she held onto his arm, “I'm not going home tonight. Won’t you watch a movie with me?”
“Isn't Greg still watching you?” he was surprised, always feeling that Greg was limiting their relationship. Whenever they spent too much time together, that old guy would immediately appear.
Today was truly rare. Not only did Greg not show up, but Chloe didn’t even want to go home tonight!
She playfully winked, “Greg’s taking a day off today. It's a rare opportunity!”
“He gets days off?” Ethan felt like he didn’t know a lot of things. However, since Chloe said so, he didn’t ask further.
As for her request, he naturally didn’t refuse, happy to continue hanging out with her.
This was Ethan's first time watching a movie with a woman.
Even though he was married to Sharon before, they never experienced a normal married life together, let alone spend time like today with Chloe!
That ridiculous three-year marriage was nothing more than a joke.
Until the movie ended, Chloe cried uncontrollably in Ethan's arms because of the main characters’ tragic ending, leaving him astonished.
He thought she was just over-emotional, simply moved to tears by the love movie’s tragic plot without thinking any deeper. Thus, all he could do was give her tissues and softly comfort her.
When she cried herself to sleep in his arms, he carried her and left the theater.
However, he now had another problem; where should he bring her on such a late night?
Should he take her straight home, or bring her to his villa?
Thinking of the mysteriously-vanished Greg, Ethan laughed. After placing her in his car, he drove toward his villa.
