Chapter 156 Looking at My Wife's Photos
The next day, Chloe folded the bedding for her grandmother and then rode in Logan's car back to Maple Valley.
After the New Year, she started working.
Victoria mentioned that in a few days, there would be an annual summary meeting, and Mr. Blake would also be awarding the entire audit department for their good performance.
Chloe's hand clenched as she thought of him. Her heart was filled with a complex mix of love and hate.
It had been a while since she last saw him, only exchanging WhatsApp messages with his grandfather, painting a rosy picture.
As time went by, the audit department became very busy, keeping Chloe occupied all day, often working late into the night.
A few days later, at ten o'clock in the evening, Chloe had takeout by her side, eating while doing accounts. Mario passed by her office and saw Chloe's serious expression through the glass door.
He took a photo and sent it to Donovan.
Mario messaged Donovan on WhatsApp: [Donovan, it seems like you won't be having children within the next five years.]
Donovan lowered his head to look at the photo of Chloe. It was a profile shot. She was very captivating with delicate features and fair skin. When she was focused on work or studying, she exuded a sophisticated sensuality.
Even just looking at this photo of Chloe, Donovan felt a physical reaction.
He saved the photo.
But when he thought of her standing in his office, crying for Brayden, arguing with him, his anger surged.
Moreover, Brayden and he had a deep-seated enmity.
"What are you looking at, Donovan?" Paisley was at Donovan's house that evening.
She had just finished a night shoot and came to Donovan's house to see if Chloe had revealed anything about the past.
"Nothing, just looking at Chloe's photo."
Donovan's focused and emotional expression had momentarily led Paisley to believe that Chloe had sent Donovan a nude photo.
"Chloe is really something. Her mother has recovered, but she doesn't come home, it's too much." Paisley seemed to be speaking up for Donovan. "By the way, can her mother speak now?"
"Probably." Donovan sat nonchalantly on the couch, leaning to one side. He picked up the remote control on the TV and turned it on.
"Donovan, do you still like watching TV? Have you seen the series I shot? Dear Dr. Law is about to premiere." Paisley remembered that Donovan used to dislike watching TV.
"I've been watching movies recently," Donovan said, then glanced at Paisley.
Paisley's face immediately turned pale, devoid of color.
What did Donovan mean by that? Did he know about what happened back then?
Paisley felt that this matter might not be salvageable.
She had known that Chloe was not around recently, and she had thought of coming on to Donovan tonight. If old feelings were rekindled, that would be great. She could take a photo of her and Donovan in bed and show it to Chloe, but now...
"Well, Donovan, I'll leave now. it's very late, you should rest." With that, Paisley left in a hurry.
She was considering whether to confess this matter to Donovan, but how could she say it in a way that wouldn't damage her image in Donovan's eyes?
The HR department's Winslow messaged Donovan on WhatsApp: [Mr. Blake, the award ceremony for the audit department is the day after tomorrow. Do you need to prepare anything? The prizes have all been purchased.]
Thinking about the audit department, or rather, thinking about that woman, Donovan's mind was somewhat hesitant.
But he replied: [There's nothing to prepare.]
Winslow: [Then get ready, tomorrow is the annual summary and commendation meeting for the audit department. Take another look at the speech draft.]
