Chapter 170 Not Willing to Stay with Me?
New East Group opened for business on the second day after the holiday. Finally, back to work. Being at home every day is more tiring than working, being exhausted by Donovan every day.
On the first day of work, she received a big gift package containing a TIC premium watch essential for accountants, reminding accountants of value-added tax and such, as well as a calculator, which is much more advanced than a regular calculator, with functions for calculation methods and a financial-specific handwriting pad. Chloe loved it!
These items are all unique pieces, very difficult to collect, and are all of the highest domestic specifications. Chloe estimated that gathering all these items would cost over five thousand. This time, she was sure: it was Brayden who sent them.
Brayden also messaged Chloe on WhatsApp: [Is this gift reliable?] Because only Brayden understands finance professionals like her.
Chloe: [Very reliable. Thank you. But it's quite valuable. I want to give you money for it.] After saying that, Chloe transferred five thousand dollars to Brayden. As usual, Brayden refused to accept it.
As for the gift, Chloe really didn't want to return it to him. Since he sent her such thoughtful things, why send flowers during the holiday? After receiving the flowers, she didn't ask Brayden, and Brayden didn't ask her either. Now, Chloe suspects whether Brayden really sent the flowers to her?
Chloe: [Mr. Perez, did you send me flowers during the holiday?]
[Would I take action on something he cares about the most?] Chloe frowned slightly, it really didn't seem like Brayden's style. Brayden shouldn't cause trouble for her. But who could it be from?
Victoria is not a gossip, but she also loves Chloe's things and said, "The person who gives gifts really gives the most precious things to the one who needs them the most."
"No, I have to report and have Mario prepare one for us! It's so unfair, you're using such advanced tools, and we're just watching?" Victoria said, "It's unfair!"
Chloe didn't want to make a big deal out of this, afraid that Donovan would find out and cause trouble. But Victoria insisted on doing so! Chloe understood the feelings of a finance person, so she didn't say anything. Victoria's report was quickly submitted.
Mario came to Chloe's office the next day to check these "tools." Although, according to the budget, it's only tens of thousands, not a large amount, but Mario had to report to Donovan adding new facilities to the finance department.
"Do we really need these things?" Donovan asked Mario after reviewing the report.
"We see Chloe using them so skillfully, improving efficiency, naturally making us envious." Donovan furrowed his brows slightly, "Chloe?"
"Isn't she your wife?"
"Who sent them to her?" Mario shrugged, "That's their privacy." Even without saying it, Donovan knew who sent them. Who else understands auditing work so well? Only that, Brayden!
Just as one wave settled, another rose. A few days ago, Chloe's attitude toward him had just improved a bit, and Brayden stirred up trouble at this critical moment.
"One person in the auditing department can spend ten thousand, procure equipment on their own, no excess, no refund for less. As for those who already have equipment..." Donovan's eyes narrowed slightly, "no approval."
"All right, Donovan." After saying that, Mario left. Soon, the funding for the finance department arrived at the auditing department. Everyone in the auditing department was happy except for Chloe. Unlike her attitude toward Donovan giving her money, this was the money she deserved for her work, but Donovan approved it for everyone except her.
But this matter was related to Brayden after all, and she couldn't go to Donovan about it. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. Even in bed, Chloe didn't mention this matter at all, unlike her previous attitude toward Donovan. Donovan has been very displeased recently. He didn't say anything, but he was fierce during lovemaking!
After the holiday, Amelia was going back home. "Mom..." at the dinner table, when Amelia mentioned this, Chloe reluctantly called out.
"Listen! You're already this big. Besides, when you get married, won't you follow Donovan with me? What are you saying? Layla is coming back, too. The two of us will be fine."
Chloe lowered her head and drank her soup like a child.
"What? Not willing to stay with me?" Donovan asked coldly.
"Not at all." Chloe bowed her head and drank her soup.
