Chapter 158 The Husband is the Protagonist of "Office Affair Photos"
Charles glanced at Donovan, who remained silent.
Donovan, with a dissatisfied look, glanced at Chloe.
The reason for his dissatisfaction was that it had been a long time, and she still had no intention of going home.
She had really gone all out for that man!
She didn't even have any explanation for him.
They had not texted each other in a long time.
The two stood in front of Barbara and Chloe.
Barbara thought to herself: 'It would be great to embarrass Chloe in front of Mr. Blake.'
"Chloe, don't be upset with your husband, he didn't mean it." Barbara lowered her voice insincerely, but intentionally loud enough for Donovan and Charles in front to hear.
Chloe thought to herself: 'She knows Donovan's affair. Office gossip is really something.'
However, why did she bring up this matter in front of Donovan? Was her emotional intelligence low or was she trying to appear good in front of Donovan?
She suspiciously glanced at Barbara beside her, then glanced at Donovan in front.
She saw Charles in front also glance at Donovan.
"Make up with him quickly. Things shouldn't go on like this, right? You have to go back to your aunt's house," Barbara said again.
Chloe awkwardly smiled and vaguely responded.
Donovan, upon hearing Barbara's words, thought that Barbara's mediation was quite effective.
So this was the Barbara that Jacob mentioned. Jacob and Chloe's cousin.
Although she was a bit tactless, she was intelligent, knowing to speak well in front of him to win his favor.
"It's not entirely his fault for doing that kind of thing," Barbara added.
Chloe glanced at the numbers on the elevator, thinking: 'When will the elevator reach the first floor?'
Barbara made her extremely embarrassed.
"I understand, let's not talk about it, Barbara." Chloe lowered her head.
Barbara thought to herself: 'She's blushing, so it's working. Next time I'll make her even more embarrassed. I'll make it so she's unable to stay in New East.'
The elevator reached the first floor, and Charles and Donovan left first.
"Alright, Donovan, someone spoke up for you. It seems to be Chloe's relative. I guess Chloe will be back to stay soon," Charles said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Donovan reprimanded Charles.
But deep down, he was quite pleased.
In front of the company lobby, Chloe and Barbara parted ways.
Chloe boarded the bus back to her mom's house.
The next day, Barbara went out to contact clients for business and returned home early in the afternoon.
As she worked in sales, she was normally out for work and didn't need to clock in at the office.
Jacob didn't come back to stay in this house often.
Jacob and Karen were in a passionate relationship. Karen was pleased to see that Jacob already had such a luxurious four-bedroom, two-living-room setup, and with Brayden's "Office Affair Photos" incident, which had a very negative impact, her favor naturally leaned toward Jacob.
However, recently Jacob's cousin came, she was not happy. She went back to her own home to stay, and Jacob followed.
Barbara lived alone in this large four-bedroom, two-living-room house, feeling quite comfortable. She now greatly admired Jacob because Jacob said he bought this house with his own money.
Buying a four-bedroom, two-living-room house in Maple Valley would cost at least tens of millions in assets.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang.
Barbara was very surprised to see the person at the door.
This person was Chloe's "husband."
Jacob's explanation for this house to Brayden was that Chloe lent it to him to live in, to prevent him from fighting with his mom over the house. He moved out, without mentioning Donovan.
Naturally, Brayden did not suspect Jacob, unaware that Jacob was now helping Donovan.
"Who are you...?" Brayden asked.
"I'm Jacob's cousin. My name is Barbara, do you need something?" Barbara thought about how to deceive Brayden into going to the company, so that all the colleagues in the company could meet him, the famous protagonist of the "Office Affair Photos."
"I'm Brayden. I'm here to get the car keys from Jacob. I need to go out to entertain a client tonight."
Brayden originally had several cars, but they were all at Dylan's house. After the incident with the "Office Affair Photos," he didn't go to Dylan's house anymore.
Currently, the only car he could use was the one in Jacob's possession.
Jacob was the driver, so naturally he had the keys, but unfortunately Jacob wasn't home today. He didn't come back all night, hurried back in the morning, and left after dropping off the keys.
"Is that so? I remember he gave them to me this morning. I probably left them at the office. Will you accompany me to get them?" Barbara said.
"Sure." Brayden didn't think much of it.
Barbara hailed a cab and went to New East Group with Brayden.
After getting out of the car, Barbara said, "Wait for me at the entrance. I'll go up and get them."
Brayden was surprised to see that Barbara's workplace was also New East Group.
He thought to himself: 'If I had known, I wouldn't have come. But since I'm here, there's no choice but to wait.'
He glanced at his watch. It was almost five o'clock.
He was feeling a bit impatient, hoping Barbara would hurry.
Just before leaving, Barbara had secretly brought the keys from home. Now, she was sending a WhatsApp message to Chloe:
[Chloe, I have time today and want to visit your mom. Do you think that's okay? But I don't know where your mom's house is.]
Chloe had finished her work for the day. Although she found it very strange that Barbara wanted to come to her house, there was no reason to drive a guest away.
So, she replied: [Sure. I'm off work. Come down soon, let's meet in the lobby.]
Barbara: [Okay.]
After work, their colleagues gradually left the office, streaming into the elevator and into the lobby.
Chloe also mingled among them, looking for Barbara.
